More than maybe any other season in the NBA’s recent history, we are seeing complaints about the officiating of referees in 2022-23. Whether it be players on the court (as fans of the Boston Celtics can attest to all too well), others naming names on the podium postgame, or executives and even analysts, there has been no shortage of criticism of how the league’s refs have been doing their job.
Some of it may be tied to a league initiative to support referees, and some of it may be subjective recognition by biased observers. But it isn’t all just smoke behind the league’s season-long ref kerfuffle — so what is actually going on here?
The folks behind the Peacock “Brother from Another” show debated this very topic on a recent show.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about reffing in the Association in 2022-23 so far.
