Good game that, if extremely over officiated
Lakers deserved the dub, one of the best so far in JJ's tenure given the circumstances.

Hope we see The Spurs and Lakers in the playoffs
That would be a cracking series.

Does the clock start when the ball hits the rim or when someone touches it on the rebound?

Marcus Smart is hilarious. Making excuses for stepping over the line rather just admit he made a mistake.

That’s gotta be the worst win I have ever seen any team win a NBA game. Holy Christ lol.

Smart is lucky because he would have otherwise been known as Marcus Dumb…well, he still was, but luckily the team survived regardless. Coach JJ should be having a cursing and yelling session in the locker room.

My nickname for Smart is the stuntman.

With all this Lakers-Refs-Spurs talk, just wanted to congratulate the Blazers for a nice win.

No undefeated teams. No winless teams. Let the grind begin.

Luka 5-0 against Wemby. Not your time yet alien you’re gonna need to wait a couple more years.

Champagnie cannot be starting on this team lol Spurs have too much talent. He should honestly be buried on their bench. Wonder how a 3 guard lineup would look alongside Wemby with Fox, Harper, and Castle.

There was no **** way Champagnie got that rebound and got fouled in 0.2. Nor was there any chance in hell there was 0.4 on the clock when that ball went out of bounds. And it went out of bounds off Johnson anyway.

Its a real shame Portland's heroics tonight vs OKC (which should be the biggest story of the week) will be overlooked/ignored by the media because of what happened tonight with The Spurs and Lakers (and the officiating)

OriginalRed · Post #497 » by **OriginalRed** » Thu Nov 6, 2025 6:16 am

I'm predicting this Laker teams finishes 2nd in the West at near 60 games and makes it to the Conference Finals against OKC. I wasn't sold on them at first but these recent wins are showing a level of grit that's been missing from the team in years. When you can bang out wins missing your 2nd and 3d best players constantly, your a team that can be expected to seriously compete.

HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN YEAR 3??!

VASSELL IS A BAD CULPRIT.

DYLAN HARPER COMES IN AND SHOWS HOW TO PLAY WITH WEMBY.

It's not just Vassell. It's everyone. Good teams are not going to give you all day to make a pass to Wemby. The reads needs to be faster otherwise the passing lanes and open shots will be closed down and the Wemby will have to come out to the perimeter to create on his own.

The early 2010 Spurs were great at making these quick passes.

Legler tipping his cap to Skinny Luka's quicker movement on d, hell yeah

Both fanbases can agree that the officiating tonight was dog ****.

Before this, the net advantage in the FTA department thru 9 games is 40. Any dog **** officiating going on then? Or maybe it wasn’t that big of an advantage tonight?

Who wins?
