Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff made waves Saturday night when he tore into the officiating in the Pistons' loss vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder, a heated post-match rant that ended with him crumpling up the box score and storming off after answering just one question from reporters.
"The level of disrespect was above and beyond," Bickerstaff said. "They 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 it. Just show us the respect to take a look at it. O.K. No one would take a look at it. The disrespect has gone far enough."
