Kelly Oubre, Jr. Calls NBA Officials 'B*tches' For Missing Foul Call

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse and his players were disgusted by NBA referees ‘missing’ a foul call on the final possession of a one-point loss Wednesday night.

No one made their objections clearer than Sixers forward Kelly Oubre, Jr., who called the officials "b*tches" to their faces (which may lead to a large fine from the NBA). 

The Clippers and Sixers' matchup came down to a final possession, with Los Angeles holding a 109-108 lead. 

On a final jump ball for the possession with 5.1 seconds left, the ball ricocheted around until the Sixers controlled it. 

The ball landed with Oubre for a final shot, and the 6-foot-7 player was met at the basket by Paul George, who bodied up against the Sixers forward. 

Oubre's shot attempt missed, and the 76ers lost. 

Nick Nurse immediately ran over to the officials, contesting that George fouled Oubre on the drive.

Then Oubre stepped in …

"You a b*tch; you a b*tch; you a b*tch," Oubre said, pointing out each official. 

WATCH:

Oubre's locker room interview was much kinder to the refs — feeling the pressure of the NBA's disciplinary offices looming.

Truthfully, trying to determine the game's outcome on a final foul call sounds messier than letting the play go on. Oubre's contact with PG13 might've sold as a foul under normal circumstances. But with the game on the line, better to let the players fight for that last point.

Plus, Oubre could've made that … he's just upset that he did not.

And now, it may cost him more than the game.
