[Rubin] Kerr had some issues with the officiating today: “If I were a fan, I wouldn’t have wanted to watch the second half of that game, was disgusting. It was just baiting refs into calls but the refs have to make those calls because that’s how they’re taught”

Only reason they get those calls is because their team and players bitch about it every play. When was the last time we heard Curry speak up against the refs? Curry has the worst superstar whistle in the league
Worth the fine.
Incoming fine and another stretch of terrible officiating to make a statement. They were giving that 7ft fat slob shooting fouls on the fouls that were on the floor and didn’t even dare to T him up for 2 flops on Curry.
Hope everyone will play well against Miami. Onto the next one.
Denver nuggets ain’t winning a chip this season. They needed the refs to save them against warriors without GP2 and Dray and splash bros bricking. Their bench is horrendous and will be their downfall.
NBA WORST OFFICIATING SINCE STARTED GAMBLING SITES.
14 pts on 1 fg. COME WATCH FANS ITS FUN…oh but curry even slightly breathes OFFENSIVE FOUL
Then they need to be taught differently. Learn how to spot flops and bait calls. Entire referee training should be revamped
This will continue until players and coaches decide to eat the fines and collectively start speaking honestly.
It was genuinely awful
EIGHTEEN FUCKING FREE THROWS?!?
He had to say the refs ‘have to make those calls’ so he doesn’t get fined
Maybe he should have used his challenges?
Just saying. The calls must not have been too insane.
But Steph and Klay combining for 10-32?
Let’s talk about THAT.
At least he’s finally starting to say something. Call it straight up or put the whistles away. Period.
I think Steve should have tried a challenge on one of those funky calls. It probably wouldn’t have ended in our favor but at least pull out all the stops, ya know?
It’s actually not that they called the wrong shit for the nuggets, it’s that they DIDNT CALL ANYTHING for the warriors. Sure jokic flopped but you aren’t winning the challenge because you can see the contact and the arms extended. The problem is that you don’t fuckin see the same things being called for the warriors. Expertly reffed game 👏👏👏👏. Fucking incredible.
TBF, he had to interfere to stop 2FTs for a foul call where Jokic did not even collect the ball. What kind of refs are these.
Stopped watching most basketball this year because of the refs, checked in today after the Christmas walk and was bored as hell, switched to football, a better product.
It’s funny because both Jokic and Steph gets smacked a lot and don’t get whistles. I guess the refs just had to pick a player to blow their whistles for today.
Warriors are 8th in the league in free throw attempts.
Nuggets are 27th.
The Warriors missed shots down the stretch, and the Nuggets (KCP) kept Curry pretty bottled up. They took care of home and are an elite team. That said, the Joker played the refs like a damn fiddle, and got rewarded again and again. Kerr’s right to be angry over that. There were a lot of positives though, and the team is moving in the right direction.
I didn’t want to watch the second half because of how many shots they bricked down the stretch, but yeah let’s blame the officials to feel better about it.
Maybe we should take care of the ball first before commenting on the officiating.
No problem with how they played today, refs f****d them
Refs were ABSOLUTELY AGAINST US!!
No one can even claim otherwise.
They did us dirty.
Jokic falling down from a curry separation… what a fucking joke!!
He made the 3, and we were down 4.
Refs took away 2 threes from Curry. One foul on Jokic and a 3 second call.
Fucking clowns
“Take my money, NBA frauds”, Steve Kerr.
It was a boring version of basketball that’s for sure. It’s not enjoyable to watch guys shoot free throws for an hour. The Nuggets are waving their arms begging for the calls and it works.
