Nobody goes to a basketball game hoping the referees will make themselves a major part of how a game plays out. However, fans of the NBA and Boston Celtics can likely think of more than a few such instances in games they have watched this season.
The referee showing has blemished the 2022-23 NBA season in particular, with the league pushing for a greater degree of respect from the players on top of the usual shenanigans that make life difficult for fans of the game.
To such an end, the folks over at the HoopFlix YouTube channel have put together a compilation of those moments for our viewing (dis)pleasure.
Check out the clip embedded above to see an assortment of some of the more egregious examples, including a certain Lakers-Celtics contest that took place this season.
