Steve Kerr Calls NBA Officiating ‘Disgusting’ After Christmas Game Against Nuggets

Warriors coach Steve Kerr had some choice words about the NBA following the Warriors’ 114-120 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Kerr was especially frustrated about the officiating, particularly the fouling. The Warriors were called for 23 fouls compared to Denver’s 17.

Star Nugget Nikola Jokić also shot 18 free throws during the win. 

“I have no problem with the officials themselves. All across the league we have really good officials,” Kerr clarified. “I have a problem with the way we are legislating defense out of the game. That’s what we’re doing in the NBA. The way we’re teaching officials, we’re just enabling players to BS their way to the foul line.”

“If I were a fan, I wouldn’t have wanted to watch the second half of that game. It was disgusting. It was just baiting refs into calls. But the refs have to make those calls because that’s how they’re taught,” Kerr added.

The loss to the Nuggets drops the Warriors to 15-15, which makes them the 10th seed in the Western Conference. They are currently without star Draymond Green, who was suspended indefinitely following a second instance of violence against an opponent.
