The leagues most oppressed player
share the clips of role players missing wide open shots
Well, this should go over well
I am sure this thread will be civil
LePetition
LeBron James falling to his knees on the Heat Culture™ basketball court.
Lmaooo
I’m fine with all teams doing this. NBA officiating is incredibly inconsistent.
They are going to break the ft differential record this year lol
What does this even accomplish? genuinely asking. It’s not like the refs can go back in time and fix any blown calls, and I highly doubt they’ll adjust their calls on Lebron going forward.
Reaves got a 2018 Harden whistle after the lakers bitched about the refs last time after the celtics game
There was 1 play in particular when Thomas Bryant just rakes him across the face and he didn’t get a call lol.. Most guys that’s a flagrant.
Every organization does this, for some reason only some get it reported in the news.
Shits funny but nah man let then continually go at it. Don’t care what team it is, the more reffing gets called out the better
This is extremely normal and done by most teams
It’s so clear that no one in this thread watched that game last night. Dude got hit in the face with an elbow on a layup attempt and they didn’t call a thing. Dude got shoved in the back on a fast break and they didn’t call it. Like, blatant, in your face, directly in front of the baseline official type stuff that is routinely called throughout the league and he didn’t get one of those whistles.
honestly a bad ref game in general. tons of missed calls or bad calls all game
Lakers went from getting a great whistle last year to being bottom of the league. I guess the refs didn’t like one of their own getting forces retired after getting exposed for being a twitter troll
I don’t think this is the Lakers asking for superstar calls. Guys as big or bigger than LeBron only get a fraction of a fraction of the number of calls they deserve.
Basketball is full contact sport and the league allows for ref discretion on what is considered a foul vs incidental contact….see Durant getting assaulted by Devin and Keldon. This has lead to officials who rely entirely too much on the movements of offensive player to determine whether or not there’s a foul. Smaller players get away with bumps, swipes and more forceful contact on bigger players because they just aren’t effected by it as much. The same levels of contact going in the other direction results in significantly more calls.
Gonna be a great thread to weed out the NBA drama fanboys from the people who actually follow the league.
This comment section is split in two; 1) Fuck the Lakers! & 2) Did you watch the game? Totally legit.
I hate both of these teams with a passion so I don’t know which one I want to be right
This will be received well by Reddit users
Imagine Luka on the lakers
Lakers pulling up like Pat Bev with the camera
Oddly enough if feels like James gets hacked all the time and less calls than before. Then I go watch another game and they call touch fouls in the paint on everyone.
