Make up call for his entire career. Dropping his shoulder and running over dudes.

this is the 5th time this season the lakers get shafted with no calls in the last second/s of a game.

all game-deciding non calls.


I get it that the league doesnt want games to be won/ decided on the line, but this is pure BS & outright ridiculous.

& to make matters worse, the NBA will come out with an apology the next day owning up to the mistake of the refs.. but how does that really help? the lakers still lost. BS...

This is going to sting if the Lakers miss the play in by a game, but it may be worth since we got to see one of the all time great hissy fits.

Honorable thing for Celtics fans to do would be to formally apologize to all fans on behalf of their refs performance tonight.

Yes . It’s not close . There’s refs suck suck suck . How are these refs considered professionals . Across the board so many games where refs have blown games . This prime example . Awful

It happens on the regular basis every night in the NBA. They either don't call clear fouls or they whistle phantom fouls. Refs are horrible.

Lebron stopped getting calls in his second Cavs stint.

People think Lebron gets calls because he started flopping in MIami, but he started flopping because they weren't calling crap. You can look at his free throw rate, it's gross when he lives in the paint.

Yeah because the NBA has famously always wanted the Lakers to stink.

LMFAO.

Ref was 2000s kings fan I guess

There is zero chance the ref didn’t see the foul. He was looking right at the play. The only reason that doesn’t get called is because the ref simply didn’t want to call a foul. Absolutely disgusting.

Nope not close , he's one of the most protected stars ever. Jokic is the most disrespected one.

Funniest thing is previous 2 possessions Celtics scored with ease on LeBron. No fault on that side of the court of course. Just the soft foul wasn't called in his favour down the stretch that is the issue here.

How can these refs not call a technical on James with the way he reacted after that last play? Boston should have gotten a free throw to end the game before overtime.

It’s not as bad as fouling KD in the finals and getting away with a win or lakers shooting 20 free throws in the 4th quarter of the nba finals in game 7 against the Celtics, including a no call where Pau Gasol does an up and down play which resulted in a basket late. But 1 regular season missed call at the end against Lebron is the end of the world, not the missed call that huerter not getting earlier in the season or Herro traveling but this Lebron call is the one to do it.

Yeah,this is fair that LBJ has only 5-6 FTA per game in the last few years and Harden with 13 FTA per game in the last few years with Houston....This is awful and Adam Silver deserve all the heat for the awful product that the NBA have become
