Gabrielle Union was not happy with the way Dwyane Wade and the Heat rebounded the basketball during their loss to the Hornets last night. Specifically, she wasn’t thrilled with how many offensive rebounds Charlotte grabbed during the game, and she let it be known on Twitter:

In other news... I'll be outside working on rebounding if anyone needs me #2ndchancereboundsareakillah

But she also thought that the referees played a big part in the Hornets taking Game 4 against Miami. And at one point during the game, Union even suggested that Pistons guard Reggie Jackson may have been right on Sunday night when he threw out the idea of the NBA fining referees for making bad calls:

Reggie Jackson was onto something...

Union also retweeted several tweets about the refereeing that took place during the game:

Are the officials watching the same game we're watching?

Then, she brought up Jackson’s idea again:

Again... Reggie Jackson is onto something #FineEm

And after the game was over, she wondered if she would get fined if she said what she was really thinking about NBA refs:

Can wives get fined? Asking for a friend... 😐😐😐🤔🤔🤔 https://t.co/LwauSjLsyO

We don’t think the NBA is allowed to fine players' wives, so you should be in the clear if you want to say what’s on your mind, Gabby. Whatcha got?!
