Which makes sense. Zion attacks the rim whenever he could. And there is no point not to foul him when you look at his FG% and FT%.


LeBron's a perimeter player? LeBron? 3FTA... 3. 34pts on 21 attempts (only 5 from 3) and a grand total of 3 FTs.

Didn't LeBron have 40+ points with only 1 FT the last time the Lakers played the Pels? LeBron stopped getting calls years ago.

Could they try a sign and trade? Maybe for Beal?

Then trade Jrue for a big wing that can guard the Lebrons of the world

They will need one of Ingram or Jrue and I would trade Jrue. Ingram is so slight of frame that you might as well roll him out at SG

I didn't notice a bunch of stuff today, but that game was egregious. Holiday was hacking him all game and he couldn't buy a call. I'm not one to complain a ton about officiating but that was frustrating, as is the fact that he doesn't get as much respect as he deserves. You wouldn't think that until you watch him on your team every night, but it's definitely the case.

It's truly odd and inexplicable. There's no ref or NBA conspiracy against him, and the argument that's too big and strong for contact to show doesn't really hold up either when you see the missed calls. :dontknow:

EVERY GAME he deals with this, then he throws the opponent down cuz of it to make a point to the ref...and they keep calling it on him. Its bs and been like this vs the lakers the whole year. This better change in the playoffs i swear


I think I can speak for everyone else on this: Lebron will more than make up for those missed calls with his own, especially in the playoffs.


You speak for no one else. Keep those **** takes to yourself.

Good game from the Bucks. 76ers also put up a great fight. They need to be coached to be greater than the sum of their parts.

Skip is a genius. Now everybody will sit their asses down and wait for undisputed to have a topic on it. Skip understands Lebron is his meal ticket.

Skip probably has a Lebron punching bag at home. I bet after he tweeted that he ran and beat the **** out the punching bag :lol: :lol:

Yeah, exactly. Zion got NINETEEN FTAs in that game. Brawn got hacked on the forearm by Ingram early in this game on a layup attempt and no foul as usual. Refs must have some agenda this year. Ingram got zee-ro ball, too, so don't come at me bros. They're working on some arbitrary sh they made up in their minds that invalidates Brawn as a superstar. They give other superstars their calls, they just wanna pick and choose which ones. Probably age related or due to AD joining him. Suddenly, they got him shooting sub-rookie FTA numbers out of the absolute blue. Lakers FO complained to league early in the season and it got worse for a time, not better. That was their one and only complaint until the playoffs where all coaches complain about refs. Zion is excellent, but 32-4 for a rookie over a 17 yr superstar who AIN'T washed is suspect. It's not Zion's fault and it isn't just indicative of Laker/Pel gms either.
