Cleveland weatherman goes off on NBA Finals Game 2 officials on air (Video)

This Cleveland weatherman was none too happy with the officiating down the stretch in Game 2 of the NBA Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers came away with the close overtime win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday night over the Golden State Warriors, although that was nearly not the case. This had to do with some pretty shoddy officiating in the waning moments of the game, that saw LeBron James basically get hacked by Andre Iguodala as he was putting a shot up, a hacking that was inexplicably not called by the referee that was standing right in the vicinity.
When this happened, there were Cavaliers fans all over believing that the officials were robbing their beloved team of a crucial win on the road. The anger was so rampant that even if you have a prominent job to do on television, you’re still going to let your frustration out.
You know, like Cleveland weatherman Mark Johnson did…
In his defense, though, at that point in the night do you really think that anyone in Cleveland cared about the weather? It could have been hailing pigs outside and all the residents of the city cared about was whether or not their Cavaliers were going to come back home with the series evened up at one game apiece.
