ESPN is reporting that Dallas Mavericks public address announcer Sean Heath was suspended two games by the NBA today for a series of tweets he sent out criticizing the officiating in the Mavs April 1 122-120 OT loss to the Warriors.
@nba Danny Crawford just blew a goaltending call and cost the Mavs a game. We will all be awaiting your apology. #pathetic

@EyeOnBasketball That headline should read: Danny Crawford buries Mavericks. Again.

@nba If you have the technology to get calls right, we'd all LOVE to see it implemented as soon as possible. These. Games. Matter. #thefans

@nba : The ONLY professional league in the US with the reputation that the games are rigged. Know why? Because of games like tonight. #shame

Bad call or not (and the league acknowledged that the refs blew a call late in OT that might have given Dallas the win), you don’t go on social media to vent. You’d figure Heath would have learned that by now being a part of the NBA, but obviously the man hasn’t learned from other people’s mistakes.
