‘Disgusted’ Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff explodes on refs after loss to Thunder: ‘Enough is enough’
NY Post
J.B. Bickerstaff has had enough.
The Detroit Pistons head coach went off on the referees after the team’s 113-107 loss to the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday for handing them a whopping five technical fouls in the third quarter.
Two of those were given to star guard Cade Cunningham, who was ejected after an extended argument with officials with less than 48 seconds left in the quarter.
“I’m disgusted by the way that game was officiated,” Bickerstaff said. “The level of disrespect was above and beyond. [The Thunder] have a guy fall down and trip on his own teammate’s foot, they review us for a hostile act. They throw an elbow to our chest and neck area, I ask for them to at least take a look at [a replay], just show us the respect to take a look at it. … No one would take a look at it.
“The disrespect has gone far enough, and I’m not going to allow our guys to be treated the way they were tonight.”
Crew chief Brian Forte explained why Cunningham was ejected.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
