Why do people still say LeBron flops? When? In Miami? That was a decade ago :lol:

I'm not saying he's never flopped since he left Miami because he has but he is absolutely not a frequent flopper.

I can't be the only one to find it ironic that Laker fans are crying about being on the bad side of officiating 20 years later after being some of the biggest beneficiaries for a decade. :lol:

Rock bottom because a trash lakers team didn’t get a foul call.

They choked.

No defense played down the stretch in both 4th and overtime is the recipe for their failure. They hit few extremely lucky 3s to miracly keep them in the game but in the long run it was clear it wasn't going to work.

Definite missed call at the end there

LeBron clearly traveled.

You guys are late, refs have been letting Boston get away with a lot this season. When GSW played @ Boston there was a similar no-call like LeBron’s where Poole went in for a layup in OT and got absolutely smashed on his forearm yet the refs didn’t blow a whistle and considered it a “block.” Not to mention other BS calls like calling Klay for his 6th foul in OT after he got a clean block/swipe on a Jaylen Green drive. Lol.

Not every 3 step move is a travel. The rule book states you are allowed a gather step. I’m surprised more people don’t know what this is honestly. It’s used on just about every single layup attempt


It’s people who never played basketball competitively who can’t tell the difference between a travel and a drive that incorporates a gather step lol. It’s because they count 3 dribbles and think travel but anyone who hoops knows the first step is a “gather” or “half step” because it’s the one taken as the ball is going upward before the actual 2 steps.

Yea the NBA was always rigged and it seems like they're really pushing for the Celtics to win the title. Boston has been getting a whole bunch of favorable calls all year it's quite pathetic.

I don't get why they cant use video replay in the last 2 minutes. Make it a 30sec thing max and everyone is happy. Some calls will still be dubious, but at least the flagrant ones will be lessened way more. This was painful to see for the NBA as a product int its whole.

Westbrook is unplayable at this point.Focus on that.The defense of Westbrook is way worst even if he is much younger that LBJ

Lebron flops and whines so much that you have to second guess yourself. Reminds me of the game where a rookie Plumlee blocked lebron with his pink at the rim and Lebron cried for 5 min.

Also. Most refs aren't making a call like THAT down the stretch. These calls are missed throughout the year.


Lebron also travels like 8 times per game and commits approx 5-6 offensive fouls per game. He's not victim to a swallowed whistle campaign.

Also no guarantee that Lebron makes either freethrow.

If you want to see what is the real disrespect by the refs, just watch these highlights and high fives and holding hands by defenders and the disrespect continues every night.

So it’s Ok then to whack
a shooter in the arm since the refs aren’t going to call it anyway???

Nice logic.

It was a gift from the refs. I would be furious if I had cash on the line in this game. You have to seriously wonder if the game was rigged.
