Gabrielle Union agrees with Skip Bayless.
It may not happen often but she took to Twitter to debate a call in the final minute of the game that went against the Miami Heat.
With just five seconds remaining, Dwyane Wade made his way toward the basket before having the game-tying shot contested by Cody Zeller and Courtney Lee.

“There’s no reason for me to look at it. It ain’t going to change anything. I thought I did. It wasn’t called,” he told reporters after the game.
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson was also critical of the officiating following his team’s elimination from the playoffs in four games by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He told the media that referees should face fines and suspensions for blown calls.

They need to get fined. Period. Crappy officiating deserves a FINE and suspension. Not after the fact "oh well" https://t.co/B6CSxn4ck2

In all fairness I DID let refs know when they gave us calls we didn't deserve... his response "I thought you'd be at the concert" #FineEm

If players/coaches/owners get fined for complaints about poor officiating, makes sense that poor officiating =fines for the refs #logic
