Monson: NBA referees should lay off Rudy Gobert and call the games straight up

Never been one to complain about officiating in any sport. I never took any pleasure in it, never saw much use for it, especially as it pertains to NBA basketball. The refs typically do the best they can, within the framework of human limitations.

But let’s say it the way it is here: Rudy Gobert is getting jobbed by NBA referees.

Anyone who pays close attention to what has happened to him on the court since he openly complained recently after a game about officiating can see it.

The most egregious examples came in subsequent games against Houston and Oklahoma City.
