Too priceless for words

Free Throws since AS break

James Harden 98
Austin Reaves 146

Apparently going from 3 free throw attempts to 7 is very very suspicious and means the refs want the Lakers to win.

Donaghy mention in 3...2...

 

[fightinfunbags]

And all I see is a bunch of crybabies whose teams can't come close to the Lakers success so they are resorting to conspiracy theories, strawman arguments and cherry picked stats.

I seem to remember the Sixers chasing a ton of ping pong balls with the Lakers during the Process but that’s none of my business.

He’s just really good at being able to draw fouls man. How do you keep that skill and ability in front of you? Nothing to see here.

 

[trojanfan12]

I gave the list earlier

If this was a non Laker you all would see the point.

Not really. Ginobili started getting those calls when he was just some euro dude that no one had heard of.

Didn't see the point of folks bitching about the calls he got.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Shit, if they wanted the Lakers to win, why not ignore that foul on AD last night?

Calling that put the game in jeopardy.

No one is saying that the NBA is rigging things for the Lakers to win. If that were the case they wouldn’t have been an unmitigated abortion that couldn’t sniff .500 for like 18 months. All we’re saying is that the Lakers have always been given the benefit of the whistle. Happens for the Celtics too.

And I don't remember anyone bitching about calls that favored them at that time.

Gee, I wonder what changed?

I remember people talking about the Lakers whistle all the way back to Magic and Kareem. You’re confusing a sound argument with years where no one paid any mind because the Lakers were dog shit.

Then you wouldn't mind coming up with evidence of that.

Other than "Austin Reaves shot 4 more free throws per game since March"

Bullshit...stakes said pretty much exactly that when he said the league wants them in the playoffs.

I also don't see anyone bitching and crying about the Celtics getting calls either.

You’re just going to explain it away anyway. You can’t even take ownership of Reaves bull shit in the here and now?!?!?

Only problem is that your "sound argument" is only "sound" when context is removed,

I'm spiking the ball on the James Harden stat.

No mas

If you think he’s the only one, I got a bridge in Brooklyn you’d just love to buy…

I do. I remember Lakers fans crying for days after that Celtics game.

Yep. 50 years worth of context.

There’s a whole ring from Delco PA among those officials that are crooked.

What bull shit?

That a rotation player made it to the starting lineup and now has a different role and better opportunities in getting to the basket?

That concept seems really hard for you to understand.

Really? You sure didn't see me crying about it.

Must have been one of those "not here, but they were on another site" thingies.
