[KNBR] Buddy Hield on the officiating tonight: “I think they kinda messed up a lot… when they call ticky-tack fouls on one side they gotta call it back on the other way. You can’t just reward them because we’re up by 15 or 17… that’s all I’m saying.” (0:32)

1. Well done Buddy! He anit afraid to voice out! Such a man!

2. This is a fairly reasonable response.

3. NBA gonna find a way to fine him for this reasonable response

4. I wonder if there’s a way to get the NBA to address the ending, and at least own up to the horrible reffing, because its undeniable. If other fan bases and even grizzlies fans are annoyed about how bad the reffing was, I feel like the NBA should at least put out a statement

5. I had grizzlies +7 and I swear the refs must have had the same bet. I don’t know any other way that happens

6. Great response! AND this ffing league needs to clean this up asap if they r serious about quality of games. I watch a lot of other sports (even the ones not famous in US), there r bad refs everywhere, but they r bad on both sides of the court. NBA is the only place where refs r like, i called the same foul 5 sec ago, but i m not ganna call now coz we r on the other side of the floor. F this league and F these refs, what they doing is not refreeing but matchfixing

7. Ok, so the NBA changes to fouls:

   1) all fouls are added up by AI during play
   2) all foul shots are taken at the 2 minute mark of each quarter.
   3) the fouls in the last two minutes are taken at the end of the 4th. This should limit foul shots at the end of the game to a minimum.
   4) Refs will still make other calls other than shooting fouls.
   5) AI can determine between 1-4 ft depending on severity of the foul.

8. Buddy is a real one

10. I’m starting to get a bad feeling that since Curry got back, we are again the worst team in terms of getting to the ft line

11. Fact check: TRUE. ✅

12. Finally man. Call out this bullshit. Ive been saying since forever. The warriors rarely called out the ref.

    Sure its gonna suck in the next 5 games, but on the long run, we will benefit

13. That’s a fining….true, but a fining.

14. like to see it say what’s on your mind buddy

15. Let’s see if he gets fined next week for speaking the truth

16. What’s up Buddy!!

    Oh yeah, calling dem refs a ♠️ 

    Hield is everybody’s Buddy.

17. Betting line on this game was 7.5.

    Just saying.

18. To bad other teams wouldn’t join in and boycott playing until the refereeing is fixed.

    The past decade has been the worst I’ve ever seen

19. The youngest ref that Kerr had a problem with wouldn’t surprise me if he was point shaving

20. NBA announces rubber banding moving forward

21. Y’all took the foot off the gas.

22. I think the refs are all degenerate gamblers. The temptation is enormous to cheat with gambling being legal now. The referee’s focus on the betting lines is comically obvious. They don’t even try to hide it. Blatant corruption is the new rule in America. We reward cheaters in this country now. We might as well get used to it.

23. Shit was unbelievable bullshit

24. I really wish the NBA would overall call less fouls and allow these dudes to play in the flow instead of stopping the game every 30 seconds.

    I miss watching actual defense. Tired of players just into defenders to create contact, falling to exaggerate contact..etc

    Legit could make the NBA so much better.

25. Cantankerous Chavano

26. People still don’t think the NBA plays a part in manipulating games sometimes 🤣

27. It’s called point shaving. Refs are dirty

28. There is something funky going on with the reffing last night. It makes the product objectively harder to watch. If people thought every game was gonna be like this people would watch it less.
