I think them being THAT close to winning last night had much more to do with Westbrook actually.

Bron's numbers really haven't had much impact on the games this season. His "herculean" efforts rely on rather or not his jumper is falling.

Lebron also travels like 8 times per game and commits approx 5-6 offensive fouls per game. He's not victim to a swallowed whistle campaign.

Also no guarantee that Lebron makes either freethrow.



It's easy to say things without any real evidence


If you actually watch basketball, you'll actually know what I'm talking about. Basketball reference only gets you so far.

If ref'd properly, Lebron would foul out most games before the 3rd quarter. Lol. But he'd also go to the line AT LEAST 15 times per game.

But I could say the same thing about Curry who gets grabbed and held on every possession.

Just being honest.

I am not going to feel bad when LeBron has been getting a favorable whistle for 2 decades

Lol, Tatum is shooting almost 9 FTs per game, last time LeBron shot more than that was 13 years ago during his first Cavs stint. Yet one gets favorable whistle for 2 decades and one is not getting calls. That is some alternate reality stuff.

This is a regular occurrence and it costed Boston this game. Tatum's free throws are massively up this year because he is seeking contact but he gets hammered in the paint several times every game and gets crap calls and has gotten some of the softest techs in the league. Every player is the victim of bad calls but LeBron complaining is hilarious as he has absolutely gotten a friendly whistle his whole career. Arguing otherwise is goofy.

One of the filthiest dunks in recent memory and was also a CLEAR foul.

I'm trying to imagine Tatum rolling around on the ground on his hands and knees like a child though. Lol

His move was a massive positive for the league in terms of viewers, popularity etc.

Some fans certainly were pissed off, but the NBA’s bottom line wasn’t.

Not sure if you comprehended the point of my post mate. Go ahead and re-read that then reply with something more salient lil bro.

Cry more

LeBron and Jokic for sure. Both get hacked left & right and get to the line about 45% of the time they should be.

When did I say it's not a foul clown? :lol: still nowhere near as obvious in real time as the one last night. The no-call on Bron 10x more inexcusable lmao

Wow, Westbrook made 2 good plays in the entirety of4th quarter and OT. So much impact. Can't believe the Lakers kept the game close with him sitting so much. Vogel must be a Lebron stan too. Benching Westbrook despite his obvious impact so Lebron can chase stats. Disgusting. Thankfully we have objective posters like you that actually watch the games to call these things out.

The fact that he thinks last night's call was more obvious than Tatum's dunk is probably your cue to disengage.

There's no road LeBron stans won't travel to end up at their conclusion.

Yeah. Dude went into COLD as balls and still made plays to keep the Lakers in it. This is OBJECTIVELY true. Sorry. If he got burn in the 4th, it's possible that the Lakers wouldn't be in that position in OT.

But I'm under the presumption that most posters here didn't even realize that the game went into OT let alone Westbrook played.

So I'll fall back.
