No techs for absolutely tech worthy complaining and yelling, no techs for throwing items, no suspensions. If any other coach or player would have gone to a refs face it would have been an automatic rejections, they were in the past. They were able to hit DLo in the head "after the ball was out of his hands" even though he was still in the air and like jump shooters could have gotten hurt without a foul, this is a whole new level of insane.
I was with you until the end, no sympathy for the Lakers and bad calls when for years they’ve lead the league in free throws with almost twice as many as the second most team and they committed the least fouls. Even with that help LeBron and the fans still bitch about unfairness
A hit on the head is a foul, regardless if the player has released the ball or not. Especially if they are still in the air like Russell was. He could have easily been injured with the fall.
Regardless of what team it is, that was an unacceptable call to blatantly get wrong, especially after reviewing it. If I was playing, after that call was over turned for that bs explanation I would make sure to hit every single player going in for a drive right after they released the ball. If we make rules on the fly then let's use them.
No one cares because this isn't about that
(And there are COUNTLESS examples of Laker bias going the other direction to more than offset.)
Let it go and stay focused on this issue that the thread is about.
Murray should've been suspended because he threw multiple things and he wasn't.
Nothing to do with the Lakers.
