Extra Episode: NBA Fines Devin Booker $35,000 For Calling Out Refs


Smooth sits down with sports reporter Caitlin Legge to break down Devin Booker's postgame press conference after a controversial technical foul call in Game 2 against OKC. They both agree the tech — called after Alex Caruso told the ref to pull the trigger — was one of the worst calls either of them can recall. Booker called out the officiating by name, comparing the NBA to the WWE, and openly said he'd accept whatever fine came his way. The NBA ultimately rescinded the tech but still fined him $35K, which both hosts see as a quiet admission of guilt. The conversation expands into broader questions about NBA officiating integrity, load management, and what Booker's willingness to speak up means for the league's image. Caitlin predicts OKC wins in six.
