Scott Foster is lead official for Lakers vs. Knicks. Expect a ton of phantom calls on NY.

I'm afraid Kennard and Kawhi are playing tonight. It's going to be an L.

Lebron to have 20+ free throw attempts, as the refs go out of their way to 'apologize'

Lebron will play and continue to cherry pick against what are teams the Lakers expect to beat. Between Lebron cherry picking and the Clippers I haven't seen anything like it.

I'm personally more skeptical of Anthony Davis right now. I highly doubt he would have played if it were not on national television.
Sam Hinkie gets removed from the league for enacting a plan approved by the fanbase yet NIco Harrison and Patrick Dumont keep their job for alienating their fanbase. Make it make sense.

Am I the only one who hates this court design at the Garden? Its way too bright and makes you forget you’re watching a game at the garden on tv

Why does Randle take the 3 sec tech FT for NYK ? Pretty sure they have at least a couple better FT shooters in their starting lineup.

Seeing the Lakers hang around with all these East teams makes me feel like the East being the stronger conference is a mirage.

Other than the freaking clippers the lakers can beat anyone and hang around with anyone.

That 2-10 start and AD being hurt has people fooled about how good the lakers are now when healthy.

Brunson needs some help out there.

LeBron taking a tech with an 88% free throw shooter on the floor is hilarious.

Man I still can’t comprehend how Russ launches some of these shots at the basket with absolutely no control.

Damn. Signature brick by LeBron from the 3.
