I think this is pretty standard NBA fare for berating officials. Unfortunately, the outcome of all this will be that 'Toine, and the Celtics, will get screwed even more in the next Celtics game that Mathis officiates, if that's possible. Nothing else will change. As I had guessed, Antoine gets fined for telling the truth - 'f*cking cheater' describes both Mathis's job performance AND his attitude towards reporting his income perfectly - and this felon will keep railroading basketball games and cheating on his taxes. Sic transit gloria NBA...
