Missed front end of 1 and 1s
Missed layups!!!!! (I'm pretty sure I will die as a result of a stroke I suffer after a missed layup)
Turnovers
Refs going to the monitor to review nothing in particular (clock maybe?) near the end of games, breaking up the rhythm
Announcers on an unbiased broadcast clearly rooting for one team
Teams that foul at the very end of games when they are down 8+ and have a 0.0% chance of winning
Teams that foul at the end of games and then don't try to score after the foul shots
Refs blowing the whistle on almost every fucking play (including many phantom calls) and then don't blow it on a clear foul
3 point shooters who kick their leg out and initiate contact, and get a foul call
Apple commercials, Geico commercials
The west coast Bill Walton/other dude broadcasts where they fake argue the whole time
When team is down 1 and point guard dribbles around for 29 seconds and then chucks up a contested 3
When the team I back gives up multiple offensive rebounds in one possession (usually scare the dog yelling at the TV when this happens)

Fouling a three point shooter.

Teams that don't play a 1-3-1.

Guys that travel.

Blatant bias in officiating towards star players. I mean Lebron can take 5 steps, lower his shoulder and run over a guy, and end up at the ft line.
Terrible tourney bracketing.
People thinking Roy Williams is a great in-game coach.

Yeah, I barely even watch the NBA anymore, this is one of the reasons.

nothing is worse than teams who have success doing one thing then completely change their gameplay in the second half

just drives me crazy- had ucla the other night- they missed 14 free throws- miss 13- i win

Makes it 100x worse when the kid clearly doesn't give a shit.

If I have an over or a team and they miss the front end of a 1-and-1 it drives me fucking NUTSSSSSSS

I hate refs in the NBA that allow blatant palming and travelling. It's impossible to guard someone who is allowed to Palm the ball as they dribble and crossover.

I used to coach at the high school level, and still go to my daughter's games. Nothing is more frustrating than a ref that is too lazy to get in the right position to make a call. I see it in almost every game.
