Pick and roll with Bron and AD and shooters on the sides is so simple and dangerous

These refs on crack. They made the Lakers burn a challenge on that BS call on AD and now this bad goal tending call.

At every turn I'm waiting on them to dream up some more nonsense.

What a BS call.

There is definitely a fix in on LeBron. How do you review and come up with the wrong call?

That was clearly a basket, and the ball was off the rim. The push to suppress LeBron statistically continues. That was just ridiculous.

If nothing else this might lead Vogel to be more aggressive in giving Westbrook the hook.

This is where having Nunn available could have been very helpful.

lakers should hust ttach a pick or tht to westbrook and get any overpaid middling 3 and D players they can find back, who cares if their contracts suck

with lebron and davis you dont need anythingh more than that

nunn?/monk/reaves/lebron/davis + mediocre role players

westbrook will be addiction by sustraction

100%.

That was just embarrassing. First they gave him no calls at the rim, then they wiped away a clear basket after a review.

That garbage smelled like freshly brewed corruption. Got to keep the score close for entertainment purposes, right.

Ridiculous.

Poor Westbrook. He's like a kid who never got told off and now doesn't even know what he's doing wrong. He is also very arrogant towards constructive criticism but did anyone even try to get through to him early in his career?

is insane that old man jordan had so many free throws for shooting like 20% of his shots in the paint

but old man lebron can take much more shots at the rim, take a ton of contact and be given half the free throws lol

LeBron robbed of the 30 pt triple double. Probably shouldve been a 36 point triple double.

Tell me how the face of the league for so long gets 0 respect from the refs. We literally have footage of refs talking to MJ and saying they messed up and will help him out lol.

Just getting tired of seeing scrubs get more calls then him

Crack head refs took away a 30 point game from LeBron. Scoring race is too tight for this bull

Russ was really 1-10 tonight lol. You don’t need a third star when you have a healthy LeBron and AD, and Russ is so far from being a star that it’s not even funny.

It’s obvious that this mistreatment is being legislated from the top. It’s far too consistent no to be.

I do not understand why a league would treat the absolute biggest draw in their sport this way. It’s getting outrageous.

Literally could've just kept Caruso, KCP, and then traded Harrell/Kuzma/1st for another decent role player. So many stupid decisions

But oh well. At least Monk provides a spark. Just keep the offense involved with LeBron, AD and him and I think they'd be alright

The height of this was the 1998 playoffs and the Utah series in general. The 1996 So ice series was also like this with Jordan shooting abysmally but bailed out with free throws on touch fouls.
