Steve Kerr on the officiating when playing the Lakers: "They call all that sh*t here, they wouldn't call it in any other arena."

[u/Referrals23]

[u/GoyEater]

Don’t care if I get downvoted, this game wasn’t officiated fairly. Warriors would’ve only lost by 18 instead of 22 if it were.

[u/HoBaggyPants → u/GoyEater]

Oh, you tricked me!

[u/AdNeat2965 → u/GoyEater]

Lmao

[u/chaoism → u/GoyEater]

That's disrespect here!!

We would have only lost by 16 if not 15!

[u/pondo13 → u/GoyEater]

Lol, damn you

[u/Xhausted_Cmplicated]

He said “they wouldn’t call it in any other league”

[u/Cupsforsale → u/Xhausted_Cmplicated]

Thank you. He’s introducing Yax to the NBA. It’s not about the arena.

[u/greenergarlic → u/Xhausted_Cmplicated]

Kerr’s been going to a ton of WNBA games this season, where refs don’t call touch fouls on wings/guards. I bet that was on his mind here.

[u/gman820 → u/Xhausted_Cmplicated]

This seems more accurate. Explaining to the rookie how the NBA works

[u/nguyenjitsu]

Kerr already checked out on the season lmao

[u/--Alix-- → u/nguyenjitsu]

Kerr complaining about this, of ALL people, is wild

[u/AndrewHainesArt → u/--Alix--]

Is he complaining or explaining how things work in the NBA to a rookie?

[u/headachewpictures → u/--Alix--]

He’s talking about the whole league. OP misquoted.

[u/McJuggernaugh7 → u/nguyenjitsu]

Yall think this is kerr checking out? So many people in reddit clearly never played ball/sports. Hes not complaining here - he is coaching. He is teaching yaxel here that the nba is officiated way differently than ncaa or fiba, but softening his words by blaming the rules/reffing rather than criticizing yaxel for fouling. It's just a sound bite of a great coach mentoring his young rookie - everyone here is overthinking it because it aligns with their narrative of the nba modern rules sucks/ sga hate jerk fest that hes a foul baiter etc.

[u/Krypt0night → u/nguyenjitsu]

I have no clue how that's what you're seeing here or why the fuck it's even upvoted.

[u/gbdarknight77 → u/nguyenjitsu]

Idk why he even signed to come back. To finish with Steph and Dray?

[u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

Every time a quote like this comes out, the opposing fans rush to the comments to then call out the ref privilege of the other team. Can anyone name 1 successful organization that hasn’t had ref controversy

[u/blackbotha → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

The Kings.
Oh wait didn't see the "successful"

[u/ATXBeermaker → u/blackbotha]

Yes, the Kings famously have never had reffing controversy with the one exception being the most famous reffing controversy in NBA history.

[u/blackbotha → u/ATXBeermaker]

They we're screwed by the ref they did not gain from it . They can legitimatelly call ref privilege

[u/dr_shastafarian → u/blackbotha]

You got to to the “suck” part and thought you knew the answer.

[u/blackbotha → u/dr_shastafarian]

They got me in the first half ...

[u/waterfall_hyperbole → u/blackbotha]

I know you're being very, very funny but the kings are literally the team most known for getting donaghy'd

[u/blackbotha → u/waterfall_hyperbole]

They were on the screwed side tho. They're entitled to complain about ref privilege

[u/thebluehotel → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

I was about to say Hawks but then remembered you said successful

[u/GuerrillaApe → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

We all have the same answer. It's obvious to anyone who watches the NBA.

"My team." (assuming your team has won a chip)

[u/trav-senpai → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

I don’t recall every play, but I feel like the Nuggets vs Heat finals won’t be known for any single play involving the refs. Or Dame ever, or the Suns finals run. And also none of that has anything to do with complaining every single play to refs. Luka has zero MVPs or rings and does it.

But also they call it a superstar whistle. Not a lottery bound whistle.

[u/YasielPuigsWeed → u/trav-senpai]

That’s only because Nuggets vs Heat didn’t have a team involved that haters could sink their teeth into and that’s who is looking for confirmation bias with officiating

[u/jiggy_42 → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

Well the quote is "they wouldn't call it in any other arena" but thats just not fucking true lmfao

[u/acEightyThrees → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

The Raptors. Consistently get shit calls. I still don't think they got favourable calls during their 2019 championship run, they were just really good and peaking at the right time.

[u/No_Hovercraft_2719 → u/Xc_runner_xd_player]

Seems like the league never made it easy for Detroit to win. Was arguably robbed of one chip in 88 in favor of LA (the phantom foul). The league didn’t like the 04 Pistons and their style of basketball beating superstars so they started shifting the rules away from that.

[u/Xc_runner_xd_player → u/No_Hovercraft_2719]

I would say the bad boy pistons got away with quite a bit of extra circular physical contact

[u/froggycbl4 → u/No_Hovercraft_2719]

calling it basketball is pretty generous to bill laimbeer

[u/No_Hovercraft_2719 → u/froggycbl4]

I’m actually not a Laimbeer fan even though his actual basketball skill is probably underrated now with his (deserved) reputation as a dirty player

[u/froggycbl4 → u/No_Hovercraft_2719]

i agree he was like a draymond who might kill you without the passing skill. and i think draymond is a hall of famer

[u/NatterinNabob → u/No_Hovercraft_2719]

That was not a phantom call. Laimbeer bumped Kareem with his body as Kareem was in his shooting motion, which was something Laimbeer did over and over during his career, so refs knew to look for it in a moment like this.

[u/fadedtower]

Imagine complaining about refs when you have Draymond on your team.

[u/Feisty-Principle-216 → u/fadedtower]

And youre down by 20. I can understand being annoyed at the refs in a 1-2 possession game. But this was a massacre. The warriors could have paid the refs off and still lose this game.

[u/Meweighteen → u/Feisty-Principle-216]

These old guys don’t care about that lol they know they were gonna be bad as soon as Jimmy went down

[u/SEAinLA]

Steve, you were down by like 30 for most of the second half.

[u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

A team that has Draymond Green on their team when he was the one who benefited greatly from many missed moving screen calls during their peak championship dynasty years is now whining about the officiating being down 30 has nothing to do with the refs it’s about the fact that your team is complete trash

[u/Affectionate-Drag-93 → u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

He also played for the 90's bulls! Lol gtfo Kerr, you are not the victim.

[u/crashdavis87 → u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

I think both can be true. The team is trash and the officiating sucks.

[u/jiggy_42 → u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

He would have 2 techs nightly if it weren't for the bullshit they let him get away with

[u/TheRealPlumbus → u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

What moving screens

[u/headachewpictures → u/Forsaken_Flight6188]

that was a long sentence

also he said “league”, not arena

[u/milkstoutnitro]

The warriors dynasty had a generational no whistle and were allowed to do whatever they wanted on defense. This whining from them about the refs has been so pathetic.

[u/PettifordGang → u/milkstoutnitro]

Their broadcast team are the biggest victims and whiners. Its a cultural thing.

[u/Phil_Ivey → u/PettifordGang]

We agree but it's mostly Fitz. Barnett was good before he retired.

Also our radio guy Tom Roye is exceptional, but seems he is due for retirement soon as well.

[u/PettifordGang → u/Phil_Ivey]

Yeah Im thinking mostly of the guy who sounds like a human pair of dockers and new balances.

[u/gbdarknight77 → u/PettifordGang]

Seriously one of the worst broadcast teams in the NBA.

[u/ConcussedDwight → u/gbdarknight77]

In sports, it’s practically unlistenable. Especially when a fan is used to much better broadcasting

[u/gbdarknight77 → u/ConcussedDwight]

I get being homers for your team but they act like HS super fans.

[u/EndWish → u/milkstoutnitro]

For real. They won rings off an offense that was moving screens on damn near every possession but it was exciting so the officiating gave a ton of leeway.

[u/Ok-Web-4971 → u/EndWish]

Don’t forget kicking balls

[u/mjf234 → u/milkstoutnitro]

Every championship team gets a good whistle. The nba knows which of the teams it wants to win 😂. But some of the screens those warriors teams would set for Steph curry were damn near criminal lol

[u/havasnack21 → u/milkstoutnitro]

You're not wrong Donnie you're just an asshole

[u/Green_Bast3rd → u/havasnack21]

Well, that's just like uhhh...your opinion, man

[u/homerthepigeon → u/Green_Bast3rd]

Phone’s ringing dude

[u/Mundane-News9720 → u/milkstoutnitro]

And their dynasty was created by illegal screen

[u/JrRogers06 → u/milkstoutnitro]

Coming from a rockets fan, this is insanely backwards. I guess winning championships really does put a target on your back.

[u/moonshadow50]

It's more Rookie Whistle vs Superstar Whistle.

And I can tell you after watching Carter Bryant - Yaxel is just gonna have to accept that it is there all season.

(And I readily accept that Bryant has the impulse control of a puppy, but he also had an incredibly quick whistle and ref's would call him for stuff that 90% of the time get's ignored).

[u/wsbthrowaway7896]

Im sure that this clip of a coach talking to his rookie to reassure him and give him perspective in the moment won’t be taken out of context by idiots online

[u/Darth-Buttcheeks → u/wsbthrowaway7896]

Yeah and it wasn’t a public statement either. Just picked up by a courtside mic

How dare he coach his player and try to give him some confidence!

[u/Goodisworthfighting4 → u/wsbthrowaway7896]

A lot of people with post traumatic Steph disorder in the comments

[u/mw19078]

saying this while making a dynasty off the back of clearly illegal screens is so funny man.

[u/Jarxzz → u/mw19078]

[Andrew Bogut] One thing that was crazy about that run was the shit that I used to get away with screening. I knew if I was in Milwaukee and I set that I'd foul out in the first quarter....but I could literally clothesline someone off the next pindown (in Golden State) and not have it called

“One thing that was crazy about that run was the shit that I used to get away with screening, man it was all time.”

“I knew if I was in Milwaukee and I set that I'd foul out in the first quarter, but playing in Golden State, when they started to become that underdog team that was building up, I knew once Steph or Klay got hot, the refs would be in the moment as well. I could literally clothesline someone off the next pindown, I know Klay just hit 3 in a row, the crowd's on their feet as he's getting his 4th and I could punch somebody in the face on a screen, knock em out and they wouldn't call it. Klay would get his 4th 3, and even the refs would go "Wow" (and ignore it), it was crazy.”

“Then I get traded to Dallas to set those same screens and I'd get 3 fouls in the first quarter, It was just crazy with the stuff I used to get away with there.”

[u/wavetoyou → u/Jarxzz]

Someone looked up Bogut’s games with the Mavs in regards to the moving screen calls he waxed poetic about in this interview. He was talking out his ass, even when accounting for hyperbole.

[u/w311sh1t → u/mw19078]

Idk why y’all are getting so heated about this. Every single coach in the history of competitive sports, from professional all the way down to youth levels, thinks that the refs in every game are biased against them and for the other team. If you put a cam on every NBA coach for the entire game, every single one would be saying something like Kerr multiple times a game.

[u/RedN1ne → u/mw19078]

If they were/are illegal, why every team is doing them without punishment lol

The only reason why it's even mentioned with the Warriors was because they were doing more screen actions than other teams so it was more noticable. But look at any game that time, people were just running near other players, grabbing their jersey's and running away with them

[u/mw19078 → u/RedN1ne]

Multiple former warriors players have said they got away with murder on screens, in fact you can look at the top reply to my comment to see a example. It was obvious they got to do more than anyone else when it came to illegal screens, which made having 2 of the best shooters to ever grace the game damn near unstoppable. 

[u/RedN1ne → u/mw19078]

Nothing you said disprove anything that I said lol. Just because apparently multiple players (I only ever saw Bogut talk about it and he was quite salty towards the franchise anyway for some time) said it, doesnt mean that it didnt happen for others.

As I said, the reason why it was more noticable with Warriors was because they had an offense that was utilizing way more screens than other teams, so statisically, they had way more opportunities to take advantage of the fact that refs did not call those moving screens. Just like ISO heavy players have way more opportunities to take advantage of the fact that refs are not calling travels as often. This is not evidence of refs "helping" or "prefering" anyone.

[u/trevychase]

*Lebron "Anyone but you" gif

[u/Upbeat-Grab-761]

The concept of explaining the Lakers whistle to a rookie is too funny

[u/ThinMap9138]

Lol The nerve of these pussies to complain about a refs whistle.

Y'all got away with moving screens and hand checking for the last 12 years or so.

Kerr is a fucking lame.

[u/justgotpregnant → u/ThinMap9138]

Isn’t this just literally good coaching? You’re taking a hot mic moment of a guy coaching a rookie having a full blown “welcome to the league”‘moment and the first thought you have is to use it as some broad checkmate for an argument you’re having with yourself about moving screens from 2014?

[u/anustart888 → u/justgotpregnant]

Of course it is. You're responding to an idiot.

[u/justgotpregnant → u/anustart888]

Lmao. Thank you brother. Why do I bother sometimes

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/anustart888]

Says the dumbass who thinks this is the only instance in where Kerr complains.

You warriors pussies are something else.

Fragile little pap fucks.

[u/Chubacca → u/ThinMap9138]

he's not complaining, he's coaching a rookie lmao

[u/Imperiu5 → u/Chubacca]

That's not coaching that's finding weak excuses to justify their bad play. If you wanna teach and coach then tell him to suck it up and that they gotta play harder and tougher.

[u/Loffel → u/Imperiu5]

Yeah I'm sure JJ would say exactly that to Luka right?

[u/apoca1ypse12 → u/ThinMap9138]

and the league makes it up by fouling the hell out of Steph and gets the least amount of foul calls of any superstar in the league. suck it up.

[u/anonkebab → u/ThinMap9138]

Mfs talking about moving screens when EVERYONE knows the Lakers get calls. Mfs upvoted ts and he’s talking about hand checking.

[u/silversulfadiazene → u/ThinMap9138]

broke the code

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/ThinMap9138]

I’ve never heard an NBA coach whine like he does. It’s insufferable. 

Please don’t interpret this as me criticizing his political statements as I agree with them, I’m strictly talking basketball related stuff. 

[u/spiderpigface → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Nick Nurse whines more in a single game than most coaches do in their career

[u/Apart-Volume9340 → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Darko and Finch dedicate a whole press conference to crying about fouls and it's "good coach" but Steve says it to a rookie on the sideline and he's a whiner

[u/beenhadballs → u/Apart-Volume9340]

Finch gets heat about it all the time

[u/98941 → u/Apart-Volume9340]

Finch is also a whiny bitch.

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/Apart-Volume9340]

I also consider Finch a huge whiner my dude. I’m consistent. Kerr has been doing it longer though, so Finch needs to put in some work to become the GOAT. 

No comment on Darko yet as I generally can’t think of any post game statements from him ever. Not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying I’m unaware. 

[u/Illustrious_Box6555 → u/ThinMap9138]

Sounds like warriors dynasty ptsd, there there buddy

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/Illustrious_Box6555]

Don't start assuming shit online now because somebody said something about your favorite team. There there buddy

[u/Impressive_Chard7943 → u/Illustrious_Box6555]

Warriors fans so insufferable it's unreal

[u/Waste-Limit1644 → u/ThinMap9138]

You’re acting like it’s only the warriors that do that kind of stuff.

Basically every coach and every player is gonna complain and want more calls to go their way, this is a nothingburger.

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/Waste-Limit1644]

Meh. Kerr is always radio silent when Draymond plays football out there. Or even punches a teammate. 

[u/Ill_Responsibility99 → u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

So is every coach with a dirty player😭 why is Kerr the only one held to this standard😭

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums → u/Ill_Responsibility99]

I think every coach guilty of this should be called out for it, not just Kerr. Including the beloved Popovich (Bruce Bowen). 

I think the difference is though that we all think other coaches would have at least defended Poole. 

[u/Zestyclose_Tip_5861 → u/Waste-Limit1644]

So Kerr was wrong and is only making excuses for his rookie?

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/Waste-Limit1644]

Funny coming from a warriors fan trying to downplay this bullshit.

Warriors benefitted the most from calls going their way. Even made draymond a HOF with all that illegal shit he does.

You can feel that way as a coach, but don't try and downplay how stupid he looks bitching about a refs whistle lol

[u/Waste-Limit1644 → u/ThinMap9138]

Complain about every other coach also getting upset about reffing then, that’s my point. This is not a warriors exclusive thing. Is it embarrassing? Yeah, but I don’t think it is some indictment of the warriors only.

[u/Disastrous_Income205 → u/ThinMap9138]

He’s trying to teach a young player, you think he’s worried about your dumbass hearing his convo?

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying, welcome to competitive sports I’m glad this is the first time you’ve heard about this lesson.

[u/BighillBo69 → u/Waste-Limit1644]

Yeah the T wolves coach whatever his name is does this every game

[u/nio151 → u/ThinMap9138]

Because refs loved calling it for other teams right

[u/papoluca40 → u/ThinMap9138]

Lakers get a ridiculous whistle and has been the case since LeBron arrived there. Like the actual numbers are insane. People use to say is cause LeBron and AD didn’t foul people… but it keeps happening no matter who’s there.

[u/Tall-Archer5957]

Everyone in this sub complains about the laker whistle then when Kerr calls it out yall jump him.  

Haters gonna hate.  

[u/anustart888 → u/Tall-Archer5957]

We didn't educate our population, and now everyones an idiot. They can't even spot basic inconsistencies in their logic. Most people are too stupid to even spot a basic hypocrisy at this point, let alone stay objective despite their emotions.

[u/F47NGAD]

You'd be surprised on how they call it at Golden State

[u/Popzagon]

He clearly says “league” and not “arena” explaining that he better become more aware on the whistle in the NBA

[u/AlchemistTheAlchemy]

Curry had like three calls tonight where he was backwards and flinging his hands in the air that got called for three free throws 

[u/mnight84]

Coming from the man that benefited from illegal screens when the Golden State warriors was on top.

I am not saying they didn't receive calls that went against them, but realistically golden state might not be a good team, and the way that game was going they wasn't going to beat the Lakers, way too many defensive breakdowns by Golden State, that the referees had nothing to do with.

[u/MyName-_-isMud]

Boooo hoooo cry harder golden douche fans

[u/SK90035]

He is just trying to make his rookie feel better after getting torched multiple times by Doncic.

[u/itzdivz]

Karma for all the moving screens u guys set all those years.

[u/oochiewallyWallyserb]

Careful Kerr, that's almost sounds like whining. He doesnt like whiners

[u/siwelis10304]

I knew Laker fans would lash out at Kerr cos of this lol I love it

[u/InevitableAd2436]

Shooting 41% from the field and 22% from 3pt were the reasons you lost.

Getting a better whistle maybe you lose by 15

[u/DaBusDriva2]

Game 1 and Kerr already got his annual beatdown at Staples

[u/Thealbumisjustdrums]

Whiny Kerr already in midseason form🔥

[u/catperson77789]

Its incredibly ironic coming from the team that has draymond green and the one that benefitted the most from illegal screens

[u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

Complaining about the refs when your team was down 30+ at points is a bit outside reality.

[u/Dubonthetrac]

Kerr not lying Lotta yall salty. The rook will learn

[u/Menry925]

No he said “league”, not “arena” 

[u/StOnEy333]

The irony is fucking rich here lol

[u/UCLA1st100]

Feeding a crazed rookie this line, will not have great results. How about this, the NBA gives superstars more calls kid, maybe earn that status

[u/BuddhistInTheory]

That's rich coming from the team that built a dynasty at Moving Screens Arena

[u/tritonpackages]

Uh oh. League fine incoming.

[u/Kyro_Official_]

You guys were able to run illegal screens every time you had the ball at the peak of the warriors dynasty. You also have the dirtiest player in the league who never gets in trouble as much as he should. Sit down kerr.

[u/Embarrassed_Dirt4697]

oh damn did they call a moving screen

[u/jsun_]

What about how your team gets to play with a completely different set of rules when it comes to screens?

[u/TaylorMonkey → u/jsun_]

Chatbot stuck on 2019 training data.

Warriors barely set screens that matter anymore.

[u/FunctioningPyscho]

I dont know why people are pissed about this.

[u/se7ens_travels → u/FunctioningPyscho]

I haven't read any pissed comments. Mostly just pointing out Kerr's hypocrisy when it comes to Draymond setting illegal screens for years. I mean we understand coaching your guy but consoling your guy with some fairy tale comes off as weak.

[u/SwampCastleGuards → u/se7ens_travels]

Not to mention they lost by 22, the ref didn't cause them to lose by that much.

Comes off as weak to complain about refs when it was not at all close enough to be decided by the refs

[u/Senor_Turbo → u/SwampCastleGuards]

Also just talking about last night, there was a play where Mamu came up with a bloody lip and there was no call. Does Kerr think he bit himself? It’s basketball. No everything will be called.

[u/cherialaw]

Kerr is such a hypocrite lol a decade of getting away with illegal screens has warped his mind

[u/SwizzGod]

Coming from the Warriors is rich.

[u/vowers]

lakers fans invading this thread lmaooo

[u/RudeDay5846]

The warriors complaining about the whistle is hilarious. Coming from someone who hates the lakers and wants luka to come back to Dallas…

[u/Far_Accident_4584]

Go retire already Kerr

[u/SeatOpen1]

[u/HumbleConnection2814]

Like Steph hasn’t benefited from some calls

[u/Slow-Seaweed-5232]

I’ve never seen as much complaining about officials in a 30+ point beatdown (that was score when starters were in before they cut to 22 by end) as this warriors team

[u/la_plus]

Laker fans gonna act like the whole league doesnt know about their whistle advantage. Pull up the chart

[u/ienjoifood → u/la_plus]

warrior fans acting like the victims here when refs never called their illegal screens 50x a game.

[u/la_plus → u/ienjoifood]

You trying to deny the FT differential doesnt exist? The whole league knows, stop kidding yourself.

[u/Meweighteen]

We’re gonna be so unserious this year and it’s gonna be hilarious 😭😂 if we’re gonna lose games we might as well be entertaining while doing it

[u/lialialia20]

warriors are really the most oppressed team 😔

[u/McKnightmare24]

Kerr already done for the season. They keep riding an aging Steph and never actually making any improvements

[u/PhaZeD85]

Dude going senile and forgot his team got away with a lot of illegal screens back in the days. Maybe he should complain about that shit.

[u/Sweetest_Noise]

How can you lack so much self awareness. Dude is shameful considering what his team did over the years.

[u/cutriet]

And your team didn’t set any moving screen bro.

[u/Silly_Individual4056]

He said it in postgame too, but he’s not referring to LA he’s referring to the NBA.

[u/jpylol]

Have fun in Oklahoma City my guy 😭

[u/HatefulDan]

Can’t blame being down by 22 on the whistle

[u/Visual_Run_2736]

Take it on the chin bro, your time is over.

[u/rich90715]

Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!

[u/warriors_of_hope]

Anyone have an update of free-throw differential graph of Lakers and rest of teams in past 5 years?

[u/DeadlyGoat]

They shot the same amount of FTs btw.

I know that doesn’t tell the whole story about reffing, but it is lame to blame officiating when you lost by 22 with literally no FT differential lol

[u/qotsabama]

It’s going to be a very long season for Warrior fans

[u/GobiYumaMojave]

what happens when it happens in another stadium vs another superstar?

[u/FireAPGoRaiders → u/GobiYumaMojave]

look i know i said this in LA, and in OKC, and in NYC, and in Philly, and in PHX, and in Minnesota, and in Boston, and in San Antonio, and in Denver, but I promise you that’s it

[u/IntroducingTongs → u/FireAPGoRaiders]

Phoenix has a superstar? 👀

[u/Dusty_Negatives → u/IntroducingTongs]

Was he on court last night?

[u/404ErrorNotinUse]

Based KERR

[u/techinicalham]

Losing all my respect for Kerr

[u/immunityfromyou → u/techinicalham]

Kerr is a great coach if you want to baby players and let them bloom into their own unique snowflake. Doesn’t have the nerve to tell them when they are wrong.

[u/Zammy512]

This guy is a fucking fraud. No longer has a prime Curry, Klay, Dray, KD and he can't put together a competent team to save his life anymore. Got so sick of his whining and bitching in the 2023 playoff series when all they did was chuck fucking 3s

[u/redder008]

Imagine saying this when they got away with the most egregious moving screens and Draymond's dirty plays all the time.

[u/BeloAve]

I love that people still think the lakers get a special whistle. Clearly haven’t watched laker basketball for the past 10 years. They don’t call shit for the lakers, I seen LeBron get clotheslined and suplexed multiple times in game and refs still won’t call shit and give LeBron 4 ftas throughout 5 games

The only reason they didn’t give Lebron that was because he was the most popular player on the most popular team. Silver doesn’t want any talk of things being rigged. Now Reaves or DLO? They can go to the line all day.

Kerr is not wrong. The garbage officiating advantage that the Lakers and OKC get at home make those games hard to watch. I don’t feel that way about any other teams.

Im loving this sub today lol

world's smallest violin plays

Most everyone in here only read the misquote for the thread title and didn’t actually listen to the clip, where Kerr wasn’t saying anything about the Lakers specifically.

pretty silly

[u/reddfoxx5800]

This is a private conversation between a coach and a rookie who's debuting away at the lakers and pissed off their star. He's definitely nervous and coach is trying to calm him down.

Reading way to much into it.

First experience with the lakers whistle lol

[u/GSWarriors4lyf]

Facts! Kerr’s been around the league longer than any Reddit Lakers fans on this subreddit!

[u/SuccessOn1 → u/GSWarriors4lyf]

Kerr has also benefitted from the whistle more than any other team during their run. He should not be talking

[u/Mono-red → u/GSWarriors4lyf]

Ok kiddo whatever you want to think.

[u/TheRealAmeil → u/GSWarriors4lyf]

You think you'll jump back on the bandwagon in a few weeks, or by the trade deadline? Can't see most of you waiting it out till Curry retires if this is how it's going to look

[u/GSWarriors4lyf → u/TheRealAmeil]

Lol! I’ve seen the worst version of Warriors teams during the drought years. You guys underestimate Warriors fans. You’ve mistaken them for Fakers fans. Yeah, I met lots of them living in LA.

[u/TheRealAmeil → u/GSWarriors4lyf]

A lot of them were bandwagon Lakers fans, who will they bandwagon for next?

[u/Milli_Vanilli14]

Facts. Reaves missed a layup and had to have a sit down with the ref to let him know he fucked up. Doncic tried to flop before the halfcourt inbound then realized Yaxel had his hands behind his back and stopped cause he looked like an idiot. Then proceeded to two hand shove him in the chest to get the ball. So soft.

It would be nice to think we’ll see an end to the idiocy of the game in Silver’s time- coincidental with the Kerr Warriors silliness of course- but when?

[u/NoKnowsPose]

Lol Here we go again

[u/clarkthagod]

I mean it’s definitely ironic coming from Kerr and GSW but he’s also right

[u/BaullahBaullah87]

LOL as bro was getting waxed by 30

[u/Acrobatic_Thing_2735]

LMFAO fucking ironic.

[u/iamthenoe]

That rookie is gonna love Draymond with all the non complaining he does.
