It’s about to be one month of .500 ball, I hope people are prepared.

I'm glad Gasol made that 3 because KCP passed up a layup with nobody near him

Just make those wide open ones at a decent clip and Lakers won’t drop too much

This team is lacking fun/energy at times
The alley oops and blocks from Mcgee and Dwight felt like they gave us some momentum
And the aggressive on ball defense of Avery (dennis gives some of that though)

Lakers are doing fine, they are just moving through the regular season. People seem to be in panic mode for no reason. The team is coasting and developing some player chemistry.

Does KCP’s release look messed up to anybody else? I feel like he’s thinking too much

Everyone plays perfect defense when LeBron attacks the rim, it's fascinating.

Bron gets reffed like a damn rookie. If only he would game the system to get calls like other players - the way the league seams to support somehow.

You basically have to flop to get a call these days.

Lol this officiating is ridiculous. Breath on a shooter and it's 3 free throws but grab arms in the paint and everything is cool. **** Adam Silver's NBA

It’s completely ridiculous and clearly intentional.
It’s strange to be getting pushed for MVP when you don’t receive the type of calls that MVPs do.
LeBron’s field-goal percentage is depressed and his turnovers are increased because he doesn’t receive the type of calls that other players get (routinely).
Don't believe the hype...

With LeBron, refs totally ignore body contact fouls and only call clear arm slaps. It’s messed up. I don’t understand why the refs pretend that he’s Superman and nothing alters his **** just cuz he’s strong and then they reward sticks like KD that get moved off the ball from a slight breeze. Need a damn overhaul of the rules man.

No it’s because the league has instructed it’s officials not to give him these calls.
The league being the attention prostitute that it is, is afraid that if they were to give James calls they would have lames with YouTube packages complaining about the league being rigged.
So when it comes to LeBron they go the opposite way. Don’t give him calls, there will be nothing said about it. Give him too many calls and you will have people on social media and in the media crying about league preferential treatment.
It has gotten completely ridiculous at this point.

Watching this game it is becoming very annoying listening to Jeff Van Gundy. The Lakers are complaining because they’re obviously getting the short end of the stick with the refs.
Clear hits at the basket on both LeBron and Harrell are getting no call.

Clearly LeBron needs to start falling down more for no reason to get calls

Van Gundy spends half of every game he commentates complaining about officiating but he keeps his mouth shut against the Lakers and instead criticizes them for complaining lol

He will get flopping fines and social media will go crazy.
LeBron’s simply getting screwed and everybody knows it. At some point you get tired of hearing the he’s hard to officiate like Shaq BS.
