Breaking News: officials swallows the whistle on final play of the game and miss a foul call. Two hours of first take on Monday on how Lebron should have gotten the foul call.

No crap he got fouled. They didn’t call it. Deal with it.

all game-deciding non calls.


I get it that the league doesnt want games to be won/ decided on the line, but this is pure BS & outright ridiculous.

& to make matters worse, the NBA will come out with an apology the next day owning up to the mistake of the refs.. but how does that really help? the lakers still lost. BS...



Lakers won a championship by refs fixing games vs Sacramento but ya let’s feel sorry for them for a game in January


Not the whataboutisms :lol:

Also the fact that you can agree that refs fix games and be okay with it just because you hate the lakers is telling. Nobody is telling you to feel sorry for LA after this game. It was a horribly reffed game and an ongoing problem with the NBA, especially over recent years. But yeah because LA got favorable calls two decades ago, this shouldn’t matter… riiiiiight

Rock bottom because a trash lakers team didn’t get a foul call.

I've always said it's such an easy fix for the nba to have a 4th official sitting on the sidelines and reviewing particular plays with very little time wasted. Its 2023, we can look at stuff and render a decision pretty damn fast.

You should have to be .500 to have a thread about your team on main board.

What do you mean? LeBron said Boston fans are “racist as f***”! :banghead:

You can and should be upset anytime something blatantly unfair happens lol. Nothing is ever going to top what happened to the Kings most likely, but that doesn't mean this wasn't unfair.

Its been several late game plays where refs go blind when its the lakers fate decided especially of recent, this is just another example. And in a season with the conference records being so close this just puts a magnifying glass on the refs being in on the fix but hey the refs didnt see it apparently but everyone in the arena and the world did, its like WWE

I don't think there's a conspiracy against the Lakers. I do suspect there might be a conspiracy against LeBron for some reason though. And he does happen to be a Laker.

PS-To anyone who says "well LeBron gets away with traveling and offensive fouls", yes he does but so does everyone else, but most players would get free throws in situations he doesn't too. And it hasn't always been like this either which is weird. LeBron back in 2012 100% gets that call.

This game was brought to you by Draftkings.

We are definitely going to have another scandal eventually. Anybody that doesn’t think Tim Donughy was a scapegoat to an obvious corrupt job are gullible as ****.

LeBron also top10 flopper all time so maybe officials have that in their minds too and miss calls coming. They have pressure to not find themselves in next week shaqs fool contest.

Not every 3 step move is a travel. The rule book states you are allowed a gather step. I’m surprised more people don’t know what this is honestly. It’s used on just about every single layup attempt

If you're asking does LeBron get away with travels? Then yes, he has gotten away with traveling plenty of times.

If you're asking if LeBron traveled on that last play? Then no, he didn't. He gathered the ball and took two steps. Legal.

What kind of reply is this?

I could provide at least a dozen adjectives to describe the reply but I’d probably get into trouble.
