lol. Lakers scored 76 points last night in free throws against a team that has historically benefited from the refs. Can’t make this up. Carry on.

Lakers next game, at home vs. Rockets, they're only +1 FTAs. Probably even ABC showing that they were getting way more FTAs than opponents made the league avoid a big disparity in the very next game.

So Rockets blow them out at Crypto.

Lakers still got benefit of the whistle. Total fouls were 19 to 13 in Lakers favour. Rockets were easily the more agressive team winning the rebound battle 56 to 35. Lakers were flat footed and reaching all over the place. It's become an every night occurance.

Man I wish the Lakers coaching staff put in as much effort as you do analyzing all of their games.

Do you know who is number 1 in rim frequency? The Pacers. Do you know their free throw attempts per game? 3 less than the Lakers per game and they rank 22nd in the league.

If you also take into account shots within the paint, Lakers are actually bottom half of the league.

LeBron was pretty pathetic, laying there in agony until the moment he's told the refs pull out the monitors and he pops back up. Have some dignity

Lebron and AD complement each other in faking injuiries and fouls. They are probably top 2 in the league. AD could actually be a wolverine, looking at how fast he recovers, he goes out on a wheelchair and returns in 10 minutes.

They have a legendary flopping team. They have the dollarstore white Harden who attempts to get FTs every time he shoots, and then you have JVB who sells and flops on every contact like he's going to Olympics for diving. Last being egregious on how much he sells on contact, especially every single time he goes through a screen.

When they are the number 1 team in foul differential this year. What do you guys think?

If the Lakers were able to receive quadruple the free throw attempts, they'd be leading the Western Conference.

They need to stop.
They get tons of calls their way, TBH.

I just think they are trying to set the tone for next game...

Getting in the refs ears alrdy....

Lebron and the lakers are cringe...

Right. And water, last time I checked, is still wet.

The Lakers will complain ad nauseum so long as James is on the roster. He's one of the worst in the league for it and this nonsense needs to come to an end. The Suns rarely get an equal number of free throw based calls since they are primarily a jump shooting team but this still hasn't changed all that much given their aggressiveness in going to the basket.

You got outplayed and lost, LeBron. Maybe get some offensive rebounds and see where that helps out, eh?

Clips will smoke em if the game is called evenly.

Lebron was 1-4 from the line against PHX, not sure it'll help giving him more FT

lol…. AD had no free throws because Nurk is 300lbs and kept backing off and daring him to shoot uncontested middies
