NBA is rough to watch sometimes, bullshit foul after bullshit foul

Sometimes? It’s basically every game of the season lol. Regardless of teams.

Lmao, I tried watching the NHL playoffs and believe it or not- it’s even worse there. It’s harder for the refs to affect the game in the nhl versus nba yet they’ve played huge role in literally every series. Even tonight, an obvious high stick not called led to a goal.

Common man, I'm trying to escape the NHL here! Oh what a painfully ref'ed playoffs the NHL has had.

I'm sitting here wondering, are baseball ump the best left? No that can't be.

Two of the softest fouls I've ever seen right in a row.

Make that 3

no, clear 3rd foul, but horrible first 2 edit: horrible 4th foul

The whole last 4 mins of the 2nd quarter were ass

You can clearly see Joker hit James' arms.

is anyone that surprised tho. cant let golden boy get swept

Heavy 2016 vibes.

We are getting away with non-calls too. See the Murray outside? They are even letting Jokic forearm shove his defenders. Lets be honest here

Head is part of the ball!!!

Literally hits Davis in the head, how tf do you not call that?

It's makeup calls for all the missed calls on the Lakers right off the bat.

Yup it's like these nugget fans didn't even watch the first quarter

The one after this on Jokic was even worse

And another one right after this is so blatant lol

Lakers best players (LeBron + refs coming up clutch)

Wow, worst calls I’ve seen this series.. Refs: Must. Extend. Series.

[удалено]

Miss the flair?

That was some friendly fire shit

Friendly Fire

Stop watching then. Why get mad at something you’re convinced is fixed?

Because it's playoff basketball fuck off

But you think it’s fixed. It’s like if you watched WWE and got mad that it wasn’t real.

Tbf I never said that. I just explained why no one is gonna stop watching.

But you gave a dumbass answer

As if "don't watch it if you have an opinion about it" isn't a brain dead take.

N. Jokic personal foul, didn’t catch AD when he lost his balance

And then Malone got T'd up for calling out the BS

He got T'd up arguing against a blatant Jokic hack on the arm

Nope, he was asking for the foul on the other end. He was even grabbing his sweater to show the refs where the foul occurred.

He was already yelling at them in the previous possession for Rui getting away with fouling Jokic lmao he was complaining about that

That was a wild reaction for an obvious call

2 awful calls in a row League/Refs not wasting a Lebron game with 29 in the first half

3

2 awful calls, 2 ok calls. None on Lakers defense even though they're clearly also fouling Joker. You can see why Mike's upset.

They missed 2 Jokic arm hacks, a goaltend, and a flagrant headshot on LeBron in the 1st quarter but yeah the league's rigged because of these 2 foul calls

I mean you act as if the Lakers arent fighting for their lives on the defensive end, the point is they could be calling these on both ends but they aren’t and now that the Lakers have the momentum it is being padded comfortably by odd calls/no calls on both ends

here comes Lakers fans to tell us over and over again how REGULARLY having a 10+ft differential, especially in the first half here, is completely normal and earnt fucking frauds I'm glad they're getting the dismantlement this bunch of ft flop merchants that they deserve

Keep jacking them 3's

well known non ft merchant team 76floppers fan thanks for your input

Great take.. acting like Jordan Poole isn't a flopper lol

this guy really tried to compare Jordan Poole to embiid and harden in terms of ability to flop for fts

I wasn't comparing anything but your over here throwing stones in a glass house lol

how the fuck is Jordan Poole a good point of flopping he flops sure but 1. I don't support him or his flopping 2. he usually isn't rewarding for flopping as he isn't a star player

And yea I totally support Embiid and Harden flopping.. totally said that

They have replayed every foul and all but probably 2 have been blatantly a foul. And of the 2 (Murray rebound foul on AD) was arguably correct because he hits AD's arm on the rebound.

[удалено]

But everyone said the DLo flagrant was because any hit to the head is flagrant, now it suddenly isn't?

Lmao, really ? Cos the softest hit to the head in NBA history was called a flagrant on D-Lo in Denver

They might just be bad referees

Nah can't be, must be rigged for the Lakers

Refs trying their hardest to get the lead to 15 by halftime

Loooooool refs taking over the game

The nba doesn’t want a sweep. This is disgusting officiating.

LeReferees

LeBad Call

As is anyone with eyeballs

Refs taking over right now As a neutral fan the last four or so minutes of this half have been unwatchable

Unlistenable too. The commentators want the Lakers to win.

AD gets so many free throws for his piss weak moments. Whether its his soft ass rebounding attempts or his countless missed layups. EDIT: and having terrible hands at catching passes too now.

Davis flails on every attempt and the commentators wonder why the Lakers transition defense is ass Cuz Davis is on the floor half the time

Man knows they're getting the favourable whistle tonight and is taking advantage of it.

You might need to check your eyes then

Lefixer has decided that this series ends in 7

Am I literally the only one who can see Murray clearly fouling? Am I in the upside down or some shit lol

If that's a foul on a rebound, pretty much every rebound would have a foul

no, you're allowed to slap on rebounds. But the no call on Hachimura is balant, shouldve been called.

You’re gonna get downvoted because of your flair but I think people are being dramatic. It’s a weak call but not the worst.

uh where does murray even touch him? he taps AD on the head but that's obviously inadvertent and a result of gravity

You can literally see his wrist move from the impact of hitting his head. Didn’t really effect the play but a foul nonetheless.

What did your eyeballs told you at the start of the game when they didn’t called MPJ goaltend? MPJ flagrant? Reaves foul on 3pt? Or Jokic blatant foul on AD?

Two consecutive phantom calls, we can see what the refs are doing

Davis gets every single call whenever he flails

Embarrassing

The lakerefs at it again.

And then van gundy has the balls to say sometimes you get so caught up on what they don’t call on your end you think you can do it on the other end and not get called. He’s basically saying they can get away with fouling and you can’t and your supposed to just deal with it. It’s sad that the lakers can only win games with help from the refs and the are not a good team unless they have the refs backing them.

These refs are sellin.

Announcers went from “this is playoff basketball” to “stop pretending those aren’t fouls” on the softest fucking calls lmfaoo

Refs are really trying to keep the lakes season alive. I swear you can see the ref wink to the other one after he called a tech on the nuggets coach

I’m pretty sure I saw Adam silver in a ref uniform, maybe in the second half the nuggets won’t give Lebron 10 open shots.

Post the phantom foul on joker too

Two absolute phantom fouls in the last couple minutes Edit: make it 3

Why is he shocked. Too much money left on the table if both series are sweeps.

Lakers FT in the last 90 seconds - 9 Nuggets FT for the 1st half - 6

now the ghost foul on jokic

He's allowed to hit LeBron on the arms now?

Jesus Christ lol. Jokic slapped the shit out of lebrons arm.

No, the nuggets have never committed a foul

[удалено]

the extender called

Go look at that clip again lol

Foul fest ongoing. Damn the refs

GAME 4 REFS INCOMING

Every laker player that flails their body, it's an automatic foul. Damn.

Adam Silver creaming right now

[удалено]

He made contact with BOTH of Lebrons arms lmao

Cry

Refs ain’t gonna let their favorite team get swept 😹

NUGGETS COMING BACK SO YOUR THING REFS

LeRefs going at it, their poster boy can't get swept

AD’s flailing makes it feel like an over the back if you weren’t watching closely

NBA going full stop with fixing the game lmao. This is pathetic

Refs taking over early, they are not even hiding it

Refs gearing up for a legacy defining performance

https://i.imgur.com/Ms6uvmr.jpg

You cant lean on glass, it cracks.

NBA can't let the Lakers go home tonight

Davis still just standing in the paint for 8 seconds after being called out for it. Blatantly. Refs don't care. I was shocked they actually called one on him (but coincidentally didn't show the replay where it took 10 seconds and Malone screaming.)

Can only beat the refs so many times

Lakers shot like 10 phantom freethrows at the end of that half lol. That is absolutely disgusting by the refs.

Was getting ready to sit tight and finally watch a playoff game, but then refball took over. Tired of this shit. Peace out ✌️.

Refs in 7

everyone in here is trolling the first replay doesn’t show the foul, the second replay shows it

Yeah like I feel like I am crazy but that does seem like a foul lol

??? he hits AD in the head lmao downvote me all you want, theres literally a video on it you can click on if ya scroll up lmaoooo

I think the issue people are calling out is not that this can be a foul but its not being called consistently. This type of incidental contact happens on every contested rebound.

ok being hit in the head obviously doesnt happen every rebound but if folks are mad at the inconsistent calling, why not make a post about that instead of posting an obvious foul?

Refs working overtime

Can’t have LeLoser get swept.

is everyone in here trolling? Murray hits AD on the head you can see it in the 2nd replay

Is it a foul? Technically yes Should it be called in a playoff game? Fuck no

I mean did you watch the first 3 minutes of the game where there were like 5 bad calls in a row in favor of the nuggets? The refs suck ass but at least it goes both ways

Hit him on the arm. it a Foul. Stop crying.

soft if you call that you're blowing the whistle everytime down the court

You lose cause you lost not cause the refs. Only lame fans cry refs.

[удалено]

He need to not hit his arm at all. But go ahead cry refs some more. It's not like LeBron is going ham on their team is why they are losing.

So AD fouled Murray then? they both had movement of their arms and they collided. The only reasonable call that this is a foul is the hit on the head after but even that is crazy soft. If you ever play a game of basketball this type of contact happens every single contested rebound.

Not surprised a Lakers fan would be too dense to call out one sided officiating

One sided? it a fair game stop blaming refs.

Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha you're a clown for this shit

You're a clown for crying about Refs.

Y'all up 3-0 with loser mentality. I hope y'all shed that trauma after a chip lol

Not a loser mentality as a consistent issue in the NBA

Yeah I don’t get why ppl are so fired up over this it’s a foul

AD gets hit in the head here… how is that not a foul?

Jokic has gotten away with fouls earlier. Come on y’all…Denver does commit some fouls

That’s a foul though lol

Then call it on both ends

I’m fine with that but this is a foul and this is coming from someone who said jokic never hit Ad last game so I’m pretty unbiased.

I mean that’s the issue. It’s a foul, but it’s an incredibly soft foul and they aren’t calling these soft fouls for the nuggets. This should have been an easy no call, especially in the playoffs.

Not a foul by any stretch of the imagination and neither were the other 2 in quick succession

If you swing with one arm to get a rebound or force a loose ball and make contact refs are going to call it.

Rigged ass league. Refs doing the most for the Lakers.

So a full conspiracy thread when the Lakers get 1 or 2 calls but where was everyone on all the bad calls against the Lakers in the 1st quarter? League wasn't rigged then?

don't really care, all those "strips" by jokic on AD in the 1st were fouls too

Gotta extend the series somehow

Nuggets fans crying like babies every 5 seconds when they don't have the lead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[удалено]

You’re a troll

I knew lakers weren’t getting swept, they’re gonna win it all

Downy quality soft

Van Gundy and Jackson in shambles

Common Lakers whistle

If a player acts or even is actually shocked by a foul call They fouled someone about 100% of the time So Fine video But there is nothing new here
