Where?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Nah. That’s a whole lot of work for me just for you to explain it away with excuses. Love ya, but if we’re still here in 2023 questioning whether or not the Lakers get a better whistle than most then there’s nothing I can do or say that’s gonna move you off that point. I’ll just close with a reminder that the whole NBA world thinks this way but you don’t and it isn’t a coincidence that you’re a Lakers fan.

I've been more critical of the Lakers this year than most haters on this site but very rarely have I seen a call go in the Lakers; favor that I though shouldn't (or should) have been called.

In fact the refs probably cost the Lakers more wins than gave them to them.

I’m noticing a genocidal pattern there with your top 2….lol

I don’t like the slapstick Marvel shit like She Hulk, Love and Thunder.

Did not make it passed the 2nd episode of Moon Knight.

I thought Ragnorak was the perfect blend of humor and action.

But, Captain America Winter Soldier is still the best Marvel movie…imo

Care to give me an example?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

This call cost the Lakers the 6th seed,

"But the refs are favoring the Lakers"

We just did this dance 2 weeks ago, no?

I’m okay with rewarding aggression.

Bron, AD…..

I don’t have a problem with the refs giving them the benefit of the doubt, they earned it.

But, Reaves?

Firstly, Lets not pretend he isn’t legitimately being fouled on some of those drives.

He is.

It’s the 50/50 calls that lean more towards charges that are bewildering.

Dude is out there dipping his shoulder into the defenders chest and BOWLING them over like he’s Giannis or Shaq.

Still, that’s on the officials, not Little Country.

They put a stop to the Harden foul fuckery.

So, I expect this to get sorted too at some point.

 

[shopson67]

Probably a wise choice in the aftermath of a game where the foul shots were 17-3 in favor of the Lakers in the 4Q and OT.

Ignoring context is fun! Lakers were driving to the basket, several fouls were intentional, and the Wolves just passed the ball around the perimeter and took bad jump shots.

 

[shopson67]

I’m talking more about some of the drives to the rim from T’Wolves where there is contact and no whistle.

Did you watch the first three quarters where that happened to the Lakers on seemingly every possession? LOL.

 

[shopson67]

Chart

Read: you have no idea

 

[shopson67]

WATCH. THE. GAMES.

League moves to excessive 3 pt shooting, Lakers near the bottom of the league in 3 pt attempts and the top of the league in points in the paint, somehow leads the league in FT. WHAHAPPEN?

Let's also ignore some very questionable goaltending calls

 

[thunderc]

Can't be explained?

Did you want to give it a try other than "THE LEAGUE IS RIGGED IN LEBRONS FAVOR"?

I don’t know what to tell you, it’s self explanatory.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I don’t know what to tell you, it’s self explanatory.

Yet you can't explain it

It is. And it’s far better than the comics


The setup and ending of the comic are awful

 

[thunderc]

Read: you have no idea

No one has even tried to explain it, it’s indefensible.

 

[thunderc]

Yet you can't explain it

If you don’t look at that chart and know the league is helping the Lakers you aren’t being honest with yourself.

I always joke that thanos was right, but if was wrong, it’s only cause ultron was right


And I can’t blame ultron


He spent 10 seconds on the internet and decided humanity had to go…

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I’m about to dip while you guys have the battle of the non whistles part 2.

But, can we please look on the bright side of this?

Wolves had no chance of upsetting the apple cart against the Griz.

The Lakers do.

I need Dillon Brooks to be humbled and humiliated.

So, it all works out in the wash.
