Gabrielle Union Twitter Page: Actress Goes Off After Miami Heat Loss [VIDEO]
It's no secret that the NBA playoffs is an intense one for the players and their families this year. And Being Mary Jane actress Gabrielle Union (wife of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade) got into the mix after he Heat lost to the Charlotte Hornets in Game 5 of the first round Wednesday.
To add insult to injury, the Heat only lost by 2 points in the 88-90 game. In Union's defense, she went off on Twitter after her husband tried to go to the basket to tie the game. When he was denied in a potentially brutal block, the refs didn't call foul on the Hornets. If they had, Wade could've tied the game at the line. Union took to Twitter to express her frustration and also went head-to-head with some of her critics.
She first started by screaming, “B.S.” via Twitter.
Absolute BS!!!!! https://t.co/vEWbNrFR5z

She followed it up and said that the refs “Need to get fined” and even suspended for ignoring the move. She said she had an interaction with one ref who told her, “I thought you’d be at the concert.”
They need to get fined. Period. Crappy officiating deserves a FINE and suspension. Not after the fact "oh well" https://t.co/B6CSxn4ck2 — Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) April 28, 2016
In all fairness I DID let refs know when they gave us calls we didn't deserve... his response "I thought you'd be at the concert" #FineEm

Interestingly enough, Beyonce kicked off her Formation Tour in Miami the same night. But Union wasn't there. She went from coming for the refs to coming for fans who didn’t agree with her. .
2 min report is BS... after the fact WHO CARES?!?!?! If you don't #FineEm what's the motivation to get it right in the future?? #logic — Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) April 28, 2016
If players/coaches/owners get fined for complaints about poor officiating, makes sense that poor officiating =fines for the refs #logic

Union has had no shame in being an aggressive basketball fan; even in the earlier days of her and Wade's relationship. She told Conan O'Brien she was even banned from sitting too close at one point.
