I don’t agree with the refs being so emotional and just calling techs. I think a happy medium is the NBA should consider introduce a timed sin-bin. That way the player doesn’t get tossed for stupid calls. Gives everyone some time to calm down.

I agree with refs needing a post game q and a, but we should remember there could be unintended conaequesces. Plus refes make anout 200.00 dollars nightly, while players make,50,000 nightly.

The refs need to right-size their egos. People get animated and have set words that get teed up. Players that do not engage in physical contact should require two tees. Contact gets 1 tee ejection if flagrant

How do I get YouTube to stop feeding me clips of this Boston guy? He’s been a f’ing idiot showing up on my stream for so long now

Every team should hire bench riders that goes out to clock officials. Maybe it’ll fix the officiating rules

Uncivility… you are literally screaming at the camera. Are everyone yelling when on TV now. What is going on… it’s strange listening to them talk.

100% agree. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Jokic was targeted and not coincidence that it was at the game where Serbian heritage was celebrated. 🙏🏻❤️

There’s a simple solution for the fans – stay home for awhile, maybe even a season.

In the nhl, that language would not be a major or a minor, it would be the linemen telling the player to get the f back in the game

Lets see what the NBA prioritizes more… the feelings of officials or the loss of tickets and sales of fans who won’t even bother showing up to games since it’s more referees enforcing their authority than actual heated competitive basketball.
