1. Boooooooooooo

2. Can they give SGA more technical fouls? That would be really great if they can finally use their eyes

3. Can’t wait for them to call stuff the first few weeks of the season then go back to the same old bs

4. Is this where they build ego?

5. They make me sick

6. Great to see so many game changers in one room. Glad they’re getting more spotlight

7. Scott foster sitting alone like the one hardo in high school that annoys everybody

8. Don’t you mean “points of emphasis for the first 2 weeks before they go back to reffing the same way they have been for years”?

9. Is this where the script is written?

10. Looks like a bunch of cops 👀

11. Need to have a standing ovation for the fan favorite, and CP3’s personal bestie, Scott Foster.

12. And they will screw things up in the nba season guaranteed

13. Bro id love to be a ref how do i get started

14. Held in a Las Vegas casino in a ballroom sponsored by Fan Duel??? Curious 

15. *Commissioner, Referees Meet to Review Rules of Annual Betting Pool*

17. Welcome to the 53rd annual Referee Preseason Meeting, brought to you by DraftKings, the official betting partner of the NBA!

18. bet there’s a quick discussion about Draymond somewhere..

19. I should be a ref

20. I wouldn’t mind them being replaced by robots and AI

21. The number of fans waiting outside for their autographs must’ve been insane.

22. Stop humanizing referees

23. The “soft” meeting

24. This job seems like it would actually be a fun job to have. If you can stay away from social media etc.

25. Lol, this sub is triggered

26. Do they teach them how to not fucking suck bc that course was missing last year. And the year before.

27. “If a player snaps his head back, he must’ve been fouled. Call it.”

28. People talk a lot of shit but reffing has to be an insanely difficult gig. These people are likely the best of th best.

29. “Here’s how to find a fall guy for your sports book”

30. Wow, I never get to see so many heroes in one place. Take it in while you can boys, this is their league 

31. Can’t wait for them to randomly throw out my favorite player (Luka Doncic), at the most crucial moment of the game, for hurting their feelings. A highlight sport indeed.

32. Who cares?

33. As a huge Sports Referee fan, I for one am hyped to see my zebra boys. 

    May you miss many calls, deliberately or incompetently. 🙏

34. All Refs Are Bastards

35. They should just ref the entire season the way they do in the playoffs

36. I’m calling it now. The refs are going to win the NBA Finals this year

37. All making side bets and who all to give techs to the first week of games.

38. They need to get rid of JT Orr

39. Taze them and tell them not to fall for the shooter leaning forward, or kicking out their feet after shooting. 

40. I imagine they all take a eye exam where everyone fails?

41. Will they discuss gambling?

42. I imagine they all take a eye exam where everyone fails?

43. Hopefully they move to ai refs, nba refs are corrupt and incompetent.

44. Fuck Scott Foster, worst ref in the league.
