Charles Barkley's Savage Message to NBA Refs Over Anthony Edwards' Technical Foul

Charles Barkley took issue with the NBA officiating crew that called Game 1 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves playoff series on Saturday night.

Late in the third quarter, Anthony Edwards was hit with a technical foul for his staredown of Reggie Jackson.

Fans and analysts alike took serious issue with the call, arguing it was "weak," especially for the playoffs.

Barkley reacted to the call after during TNT's postgame analysis with an NSFW message for the refs.

"Hey, Mr. Official. Nobody came to see your a** play," Barkley said.

"Stop giving taunting technicals in the game. Nobody came to see you. You give a kid a warning. You don't call no taunting technicals in the Playoffs. Don't do that."

Barkley's right. Refs can't interfere with how a game plays out unless a player's behavior is deemed dangerous.

To make matters worse, Jamal Murray taunted Karl-Anthony Towns with finger guns and got away with it.

NBA refs have to be better.
