Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls? 

Post#1 » by loveandbeer » Sun Jan 29, 2023 4:21 am

Such an egregious no-call at the end of regulation.

On the previous play, they gave a very weak and-1 to Jaylen Brown (light tap on the head) that helped them tie it, and then another at the start of OT.

I know there's always some home cooking but this was a bit much / way too blatant. Really feel like LeBron doesn't get his fair share of calls (he's always had the size discount too).

this was more of a sign that the nba is still rigged like it used to be. these refs were clearly cheating and i HATE both teams. but it was blatant.

Yes. Dude was literally looking directly at the play from 3 feet away. When the same thing happens over and over again, it’s clear that it’s the league’s agenda. Absolute joke of a league.

Very poor officiating and its no wonder everyone thinks its rigged. Celtics got a lot of late calls as well in their favor. I do not believe there is 1 Celtic fan on this forum that wouldn't admit they got away with this one.

And here I’ve been complaining about NFL referees for years when this was just so bad. It’s like they said, if you can’t review that play, why even bother having a review system?

Jacyn Gobble was the ref.

Had the clearest view I’ve ever seen on an obvious foul.

This guy also has an article for the most incorrect calls in 2019.

Keep him away from any playoff games.

Just awful. It's worse considering all the calls that were going against anthony davis a couple minutes prior.

Being honest, this is the most one-sided officiating I've seen in a while. Just devastating for a Lakers squad that is in desperation mode to make the Playoffs.

It was a horrid missed call.

But the notion that it should have been called purely because it’s LeBron is just a bizarre one.

It could be Lonnie Walker doing the same and it should have been called.

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

LMFAO.
