The Golden State Warriors, perhaps more than any NBA team, complain a ton about referees.
Well, they didn’t have much to whine about Friday night, thanks to some A-plus officiating work during the Dubs’ 119-104 win over the Sacramento Kings.
There were fouls called on the Kings that, in all honesty, might be the worst calls you’ll see all NBA season. And that’s saying a lot, considering some of the horrendous officiating we’ve seen during the 2017-18 campaign.
Here’s the first foul, which was called on Kings forward Zach Randolph at the start of the second half:
Wow. That’s a lot of contact.
Here’s the second travesty, which occurred when Kevin Durant blatantly shoved Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic:
Sigh.
To be perfectly honest, calls like these not only make the NBA more soft than it already is, but they also make the product borderline unwatchable.
