Moot point to compare NBA players to refs when using burners or checking social media. Unlike players, refs need to stay unbiased bc they make important calls, not players…
No it doesn't. The only difference between Heat in 4 and Heat to 7 is extra games and extra revenue. Also with all the momentum on the Celtics side so much bets and money backing the Celtics on Game 7 Vegas can collect all that money back (and then some) Big League sports behave like Casinos now a days
Professional and even college sports have been rigged for centuries. With more gambling, more money why would it stop? Some things are clear and not just in hoop. It’s all business entertainment based but you can look at drafts, coin flips for #1 picks no one witnessed, trades (stars in different jerseys more $$$), they interview coaches during games including the playoffs and finals while now starting to interview players, if it were real hoop that would never be considered. The nba, mlb, nfl, nhl are all registered as entertainment just like the wwe and it’s not just to save $$$. The lakers & celts have almost more or more titles than the whole league, that’s not just cause they happened to get the right players. It’s all business entertainment based sports so that’s what it’s going to be geared towards which is more viewers, more merchandising and people in the know make $$$ on wins or losses. No 1 referee was ever fixing games by himself. People question why teams passed on Luka when it was obvious they wanted the new European star to replace the old European star who would be leaving Dallas just like I told people last year the Spurs would get VictorW for not only the French Connection but the TDuncan heir apparent. Wouldn’t be surprising if Kerr ends up coaching there. You can pull up on RUclips the first draft lottery and while it’s acknowledged you can see how they made sure Knicks got that first pick. Most nba & pro teams are not really trying to win a championship. People blame incompetence when it’s about a product that people want to see and a bottomline. Just like a horse race, every horse in the race is not there to win. I could go on for days and not just about wins but moves. No league has any kind of rules that insures that all teams try to win to the best of their abilities
i like how you defended him saying "he's not a secret celtics fan" - that's true. He's a very obvious one. If you dont think he's biased, you're completely insane.
If he is "very obvious one" (which is bad grammer btw), then let him be a fan. No one said refs cant have a fav team. Dude AM hoops is just playing devils advocate because all the other channels out here are condemning a man with no proof. If he is bias and crooked then get rid of him but I think the celtics record with him as ref is very believable with how good they been past few years

@@georgeprchal3924 are you kidding, the spurs get lucky every time there is a generational big in the draft and win the number one pick. its happened 3 times in the past 30 years
My first thought would be that the burner account didn't come from Eric Lewis, but potentially someone close to him. i.e. spouse, child, parent, etc...I'm sure it would be hard to see and hear people constantly criticizing someone you care about. A couple of the tweets seemed to have an immature quality. I also believe a professional ref would defend certain calls/plays with rules-based explanations. Just my thought.
In my opinion, robots are good in theory but could be problematic. I personally think that it would have many problems like hacking for example, they could rig games more w/ bots than w/ referees. Kinda a random thought but Idk.
I just wanted to say thank you for not jumping on the NBA conspiracy bandwagon after the draft like some of your fellow RUclipsrs, and waiting on the facts to come in. NGL, I was concerned about the Eric Lewis stuff but I'm glad you stayed cool and did the homework for all of us.
I think they should figure out who they like as teams so they won't be allowed to officiate on those teams. That's what happen in soccer, with Internacional games and league finals. They make sure that the refs aren't from either country
When NHL sent referees to world events they were offended when federations, teams, fans outside US/Canada didn't want NHL referees working their national teams like is done in every sport in the world so that you don't have the possibility.... The american/Canadian media laughed at the very idea saying they had the best refs in the world and they would never cheat for their homeland. Problem is with your stance is you are talking about international competitions where there are referees available from many countries. This is an American league in American cities with American refs. You could not allow referees born in a city to ref games played by that city. But where you draw the line? If you were born in NYC, then moved to Charlotte and Miami as a kid and went to college in Indiana and are now living in LA, which of these associations are unnaceptable. And will it do anything?
Soccer fans in Europe are a lot more passionate than American fans of any sport. Also, these are national teams not clubs. This is true for every sport if two national teams play against each other the refs can't be from either country.
You cannot stop the cheating. They do it for the money, lots of money. They will always find a way to “fix” a game or thirty, however many it takes to get that check.
How ref's are selected for games should be like the Premier League. Premier League referees are not allowed to take charge of games involving the club they support - or even those of their main rivals. For example a referee from Manchester, who supports either Manchester United or City would not be allowed to take charge of any of their games.
Casey you are killing it man, I've been riding with you since day 1 and I have to say your content and your videos have gotten nothing but better and better over the year's. Keep up the Great work my friend. AM Hoops is absolutely #1 Channel on RUclips when it comes to NBA videos, news, and content and that's straight facts 💯 Michael Carrozza
This was a very good jernoulism work Cassey, and i like what you say about Lewis, he took the chance to defend himself. Thats not a crime. Also what Stern do was very David Stern, he reminds me of Julio Grondona and other Fifas directives.
the underlying problem is that officials have way too much impact on the outcome of games. challenges mitigate this somewhat, but more needs to be done.
You know what else happened after that no-call on Jan 28th?? The league apologized to the Lakers on the 29th and beginning on the 30th the Lakers averaged TRIPLE the number of xFTAs they were getting before. They went from averaging around 3.3 xFTAs per game to 10.25 xFTAs per game for the remaining 32 games of the season. Not only this, but against the Nuggets, in the regular season the Lakers averaged only 0.25 xFTAs and in the Western Conference Finals they averaged 6.5 xFTAs. (xFTAs = FTAs in excess of their opponent).
If they're gonna investigate Lewis they better go after Scott Foster even harder. Up until this year LeStats was 78-0 when that dude called his games. That shit is ridiculous.
I think it's impossible to not be some what biased, we all are. I'm sure there are some players that they just hate or don't get along with and others they like. You do notice how they will favor certain players or teams, it's extremely frustrating. Also when there's money involved there is also corruption, to say it's just a conspiracy is a flat out lie. I don't think it's totally rigged but there is also a lot of questionable stuff as well.
4:31 The Celtics had a 59.5% win percentage 2014-2023 (437 Wins, 718 games). Celtics with Eric Lewis had a win percentage of 65%. They won 26 games out of 40 and were expected to win 24.
The ghost of David Stern forbidd having a 4th referee operating on the scorer's table. Why can't they just have this rather than penalizing teams vis coach's challenge? It is truly insane.
Cheating in sports is as common as blinking. We all know how the league tried to cover up the last big scandal by in your words”exposing it.” In truth they were preventing the widespread cheating scandal from being exposed openly with multiple arrests. Tim said so himself. 😂
How do you say he’s not a secret Celtics fan when there’s video evidence of him being upset with a game-losing basket? At best he’s betting on the games and not a fan, but that’s still terrible.
Why would any referee fix games for a specific team when you can just fix the over/under. Just bet the under and don't call many defensive fouls. Or you can do the opposite. Last night Miami and Denver combined for just 22 free throws. The under hits. This is not complicated. Any bias towards players probably comes from social media blowing up every time Lebron doesn't get a call. If a ref misses a call against Doug McDermitt, nobody cares. And if I misspelled Doug McDermitt, nobody cares about that either.
5:56 Nah this is such facts. One time when I was like 10 I went to a knicks game and got a good video of melo hitting a tough shot and I posted it on instagram and tagged him and he literally liked the post at halftime
NBA rigging has gone on for years. Two years ago, games 1 & 2 Raps vs 76ers was all one sided after that game 2, the games were officiated much closer due to all the complaints. Sometimes, stars can get away with murder during a series.
NBA, with all its budget, should have had their own team taking care of controversies like this, and come out and defend the ref themselves and proving that with real stats instead of this nonsense, it just destroys the legitimacy of the sport
The lakers refs in that golden state series were def on lakers side. Lakers had like 65 more points on free throws than gs. Kinda demoralized gs and probably played a factor in the terrible shooting in game 6. without those refs, gs won in 5 100%. Theres always gonna be bad calls, but these days its pretty redicoulus. U know theres a ton with hands in cookie jars for most all games.
Expecting New England teams not to cheat is like putting candy in front of toddlers and expecting they won't take any. That's why whenever its a team around there its instantly one billion times more suspicious.
Shits hilarious but in Lewis' defense that was not a foul on LeBron. Someone tapped his arm after the shot lol how are you gonna throw a tantrum after that
Eric Lewis was not the ref that was in position to make the foul call for LeBron in the play shown but it was just sad that we can't even have honest and normal referees..
Just because the Celts were good doesn't mean that there couldn't be bias. To determine bias you would want some type of difference vs some hypothetical replacement and even that isn't a perfect measure.
Didn't I hear about this account halfway through the season? Why is it breaking news now? Lewis was caught months ago with that family decked out in Celtics gear
I think refs might get kind of petty dealing with players because the gap in pay is so huge between them. The highest paid nba ref makes half the nbas minimum salary for players, most make from a quarter to a tenth. Sure, you don’t have to physically endure as much in training or in game, and you don’t need to be inherently genetically gifted. But you are still playing on the same floor, on the same night with the same emotions in play. Not saying refs should get paid THAT much more, but with the amount of money the NBA as a whole brings in you’d think they’d be better taken care of. You try making reasonable decisions when you’re getting cussed out by someone half your age making 200x what you do to miss a layup.
Honestly the nba should also look at Scott foster. The fact that us as fans know refs by name is bad
it is but it isn’t, they tell you before every game who tonight’s referees are & they do it for every league. we as fans can help the leagues hold refs accountable by naming exactly which ones we think aren’t doing their jobs the best, but in this day & age it can go way too far.
1000% Warriors vs Rockets
I think it’d be a great thing if we knew their names for better reasons
Think about it tho. There are a few players with crazy records against certain refs. I hope we don’t have another Tim Donahue situation.
I agree with you, a good referee is the one you don’t notice
I hate it how we can't just have honest and normal referrees

Two vids two days??❤
KD saying he can't win a championship with a team that was up 3-1 in the WCF among other runs is gutless. There's no way he'd ever make my top ten.
That's not Eric Lewis @ 3:25. That's Rodney Mott.
That ref who seems upset at Jimmy's layup is not Eric Lewis.
I think refs might get kind of petty dealing with players because the gap in pay is so huge between them. The highest paid nba ref makes half the nbas minimum salary for players, most make from a quarter to a tenth.
Sure, you don’t have to physically endure as much in training or in game, and you don’t need to be inherently genetically gifted. But you are still playing on the same floor, on the same night with the same emotions in play.
Not saying refs should get paid THAT much more, but with the amount of money the NBA as a whole brings in you’d think they’d be better taken care of. You try making reasonable decisions when you’re getting cussed out by someone half your age making 200x what you do to miss a layup.
Lowkey feel bad for the dude he gonna lose his job for having a burner LOL But that lebron non call was crazyyy
