This is the 5th time this season that the Lakers got screwed by the refs by not doing their job to make the obvious call that should give the Lakers the W. They should be 4th seed by now in the brutal West but because of rigged officials, Lakers sitting in the 13th seed. If I'm LeBron, I'll just break the scoring record against Bucks next week, play the all-star game then get an eye surgery or something and rest for the entire season since Lakers FO doesn't want to improve their team using picks this year anyway. Maybe it's for the best. Give up this year, it's not worth it until Silver do something about this crooked refs. That bald official is the one who called the delayed foul on Beverley from half-court for Jaylen and1 to tie the game then choked his whistle from 3-feet away when Tatum obviously fouled LeBron. Start from there, suspend that ref for the year to set a precedent rather than keep doing this lame L2M report that's not helping in any way.

it's not the first time or 2nd or 3rd time they got screwed by the refs, it's 10% of their games played. Lakers should be 4th seed by now but because of these rigged officials, they're sitting in 13th seed. What's the point giving your best effort every night when the refs will just screwed you in the end. In life, you have to choose your battle. It's not about quitting, it's about standing up to rigged system trying to f*** you up over and over again. It's LeBron's 20th season anyway and this Lakers team is not in any position to make a deep playoffs run. They are starting players like Brown, Gabriel, Anderson, Jones that won't get a playing time if they're on a stack team like Celtics. AD & LeBron not playing for the Nets and Knicks is a good start to show Silver how f***** up the system is. Just feel bad for the fans who save up for ticket just to see these stars play in their hometown. It is what it is.

His FTr relative to his play style as a Laker is definitely BS. The refs have been screwing him for sure, that isn't really a debatable point.

Lebron has never benefited from a no-call in a clutch moment in his career...

They are full of incorrect calls and this is ONLY the last 2 minutes of the game - imagine they reviewed the entire game. I mean you pretty much just have to live with it.

There shouldn't be so much focus on it being the last play of regulation and potentially costing the game. Hypothetically there could have been 3 missed calls on the C's earlier in the game, and just 1 on LAL. In that case, the missed call in the end should not have mattered if the game was called to perfection.



I'm never one to call it a conspiracy but it's been absolutely brutal for the lakers the last 3 weeks. ---- 5 non- calls in 4 games - all end of game situations is just really horrible.


they should be 27-23 by now if those fouls were called, (which would be 4th in the West). but instead theyre 23-27 (which is 13th in the West)..

There has to be some accountability for these stupid refs. otherwise, why are they even in the court for if theyre not going to do their jobs...

Didn’t the Embiid Russ call get upheld as a correct no call by the L2M?

Disrespected?

If they had called the travel on James, none of this “foul” talk would be occurring…

Doesn't matter if it's legal, all that matters is what the refs call. If you don't actually play ball just say that ;)


It absolutely matters if it’s legal in context of the discussion. If you’re going to call out people that don’t understand the distinction of why it’s legal in the NBA on the basis of them “not being hoopers” then you’d better be sure the rule is consistent in the leagues the majority of the board likely has experience playing in. The reason people struggle with it is, in fact, because the rule is different than what they grew up with. For all your childish internet posturing it’s pretty clear it’s you that’s not a hooper.

Lmao yea because if you actually play in men's leagues (which I do), or regular pickup games (which I also do), or just plain watch NBA games you'd know that a gather and 2 steps is not a travel. Please try and keep my words out ya mouth lil bro, the only one showing non-hooper tendencies is you trying to justify people calling it a travel :lol:. Not even a high school kid would call that a travel because everyone at that age is still playing pickup at local parks and gyms LMFAO. Only a non-hooper would even try to have this argument. Try not to be so insecure cuz people like me call couch potato nerds like you out ya name cuz you guys don't actually play ball and all you do is watch and talk nonsense.

Lol, if you think that's a ticky tack foul then I don't know what to tell you. Start by playing or watching some basketball maybe?


:roll: What part of hammer or ticky tacky is hard for you to understand?

And I've watched more basketball than you ever possibly could have, which is why I don't feel entitled in general, or feel entitled to that call as a fan. But please... tell me more abotu how you know everything basketball over the generations as its so very compelling to me.

You clearly didn't watch this game, though. The refs called plenty of ticky tack fouls down the stretch and ignored the obvious hack on Lebron. The play right before the no-call on Lebron was a Jaylen Brown and-one with minimal contact.

Has anyone actually checked all the two minute reports on the Lakers games this year and come up with any conclusions? Cuz it seems like a lot of prisoner of the moment stuff.

Two hours ago it was reported on hoopshype that Ben Rohrbach: Reviewed the Lakers’ L2M reports this year. There have been 34 incorrect calls (or non-calls) in the final two minutes of their 19 close games this season. 21 of them went in favor of the Lakers.

lol pleaseeeee. this reeks of "what have you done for me lately?" Lebron has been on the receiving end his entire career of beneficial officiating.

This may come as a surprise but the NBA, much like the other major sports, has inconsistent officiating because the players are faster/more athletic than ever and the game is very very fast.

Lakers vs Denver in the playoff Bubble was blatant to me. Jokic and Denver never had a chance. Not only did MPJ not show up as the teams second option, but that's beside the point, because Jokic was getting no calls, and was being hacked.
