NBA has a major ref problem they need to address immediately before it gets out of hand

[FTBS]

B!TCH, YOU LEFT ROBERT HORRY OPEN, STFU

Refs made him do it.

 

[inndaskKy]

Last night's game Draymond with a loud ass "AND OOOONE!!!!" as he misses the shot and the Warriors don't score on the possession, then he immediately fakes a concussion scare

Players gotta look in the mirror too. It's too bad Tony Brothers just suffered a season-ending injury 'cause he will tell these players that their b*tch asses are the problem half the time.

 

[The God Poster]

These were all in the past month alone and I'm probably forgetting some. It's been long overdue for referee press conference to answer for they calls. One of the only professions where you don't get penalized by your boss for bad nights, stretches or performance. Players, coaches, fans everyone complainin

This don't even include gamblin fukkery and that a whole another can of worms. They better not let one of these fans catch a case for murkin a ref for bad calls killin his parlay which NBA been promotin gamblin too

Same thing happened last season. Nothing will change

 

[The God Poster]

The reason why officiating will never get better is because of fans. Fans only care when the bad call goes against their team.

NBA players not being afraid to take the fines anymore to call it out is a great thing but the fans of the team who are just going to call them crybabies and the leagues are just going to make the fines higher instead of trying to improve officiating

Doesn’t help you got certain posters who cry about the refs cheating no matter what

Complete biased which doesn’t help at all.

it has gotten noticeably bad in the last few months. My personal theory is the NBA is trying to position certain teams so that post All Star Break they have their narratives in play. The Refs tried their damndest to give GSW the game last night as they want the Warriors to be surging in the final stretch of the season. ANd the Cavs are getting calls now as they are the hottest team in the NBA and they need to build storylines around the Knicks, Bucks, Celtics and Cavs.

ref prob had money on booker under 15

NFL, college football and college basketball is a lot worse than the NBA in terms of referring IMO

Not saying it didn't before, it's just gotten way worse and more obvious.

No it really hasn’t

Mind you I’m no fan of nba refs but the nfl’s refereeing problem makes the nba seem like the gold standard which is crazy

NHL and MLS might legitimately have the best refs in North America sports

 

[mbewane]

I don't want to hear Anthony Edwards complain about anything. He thinks he gets fouled every time he feels contact, and lets out a loud ass "AYYYYYYY" to try and get the refs attention.

I hate that sh*t with a passion, and too many players are doing it.

Best era ever

Its one topic to discuss bad calls...but they can def address the ejections. theres been like 30 of these stupid ejections this year. It's already out of hand. Gave these motherfukkers way to much power.

 

[nieman]

Fans will only care about calls that go against their teams. The NBA doesn't have a ref problem, they have a branding problem. Fans don' complain about the excessive traveling, or carrying...in which whistles are completely swallowed. Y'all wanted basketball entertainment, so this is what you get. And the players are ridiculous with their call baiting, so which is it?

Call, travel/carrying, let them play more physical, and redefine a flagrant.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It’s obvious this refs are betting on the games they are refing… They want certain outcomes to cash out.. It’s like leaving a bank open with no one inside no security and the vault door wide open
