Last few plays they're letting Minnesota get away with a lot more contact than the Lakers, refs don't want this to be a runaway

You'll see dude. Gotta give the experience back.
You don’t think the Celtics have haters? Are you new to being a fan?

Luka is literally flopping all over the place and then berating the officials for not giving him the call lol

Surely the people who always cry about the Lakers getting all the calls will acknowledge this, right? Right?

And this is a major problem with the NBA. You shouldn't "get" fouls, either it's a foul or it's not, no matter who you are.

The ref special
Call #1: hey, lakers need this win we can’t have them lose both at home and be down 0-2
Call #2: whoa whoa slow down it’s a 20 point game get the wolves back in it. You’re making it too obvious

Respectfully disagree. Wolves are playing more disciplined now and the lakers are playing tired/slow.
Refs have been fine imo.
