Call a leg foul on joker.... Jamal clearly fouled nothing..... What's the criteria? Are you calling it tight or loose?

Where the braided people that were saying people complaining about the refs before it happened were ridiculous

With Jokic out the Lakers are either going to every offensive rebound or get fouled....
I'm so tired of the typical......

With the mvp performance from the refs. Lakers should have led 41 points at this point. Denver should feel happy and grateful.

They complain for 3 games waiting for the “rig” and nothing happens, then a few don’t go their way and they go “SEE I TOLD YOU”

Always good when you have the lead ref be a guy who took 134 calls from Donaghy

I don't know why everyone is complaining about the officiating. Yeah, that Joker foul was bad, but outside of that, it's been pretty fair..

Austin deserves whatever Russell's slated to make, and Russell deserves the undrafted min Austin's making.,

Brown was fouled on tip in, no call

Refs took control of this game nobody is beating this team when the refs have their back at home. They just need one road win to end series

Just need Nikola Jokic or Jamaal Murray to have a huge 4th quarter to put the Nuggets up 3-0 in the series despite of bad officiating.

Thing is, Nuggets won’t whine much because this is still a game they can afford to lose. Sucks but i hope they still want to steal this one despite that atrocious 3Q both with their shooting and the refs calls.

Why do the Lakers keep doing that ice in my vain taunt. Are they mocking LeBron or what

I don't see why the Nuggets just drive to the hoop and get contact. They have enough athletic guys who can draw fouls.

Honestly refs and league know they can’t let LA go down 3-0 or it’s a wrap. Awful to watch. SMH.
