On Friday night, Chris Paul appeared to induce a pivotal delay of game call against the Minnesota Timberwolves, alerting the referees to Jordan Bell's untucked jersey - though crew chief Scott Foster later claimed Paul had no impact on the call.

On Sunday, though, Paul bore the brunt of the referees' whistles. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard was whistled for delay of game twice in the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers, and Paul clearly believed the officials were attempting to send him a message.

That didn't stop the nine-time All-Star from attempting to harangue the refs into making calls in his favor. Paul even pointed the finger at a long-time friend, Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony.
