Yeah Reaves getting superstar calls is nuts. 13,18,9, and 13 attempts in his last 4.

3 years of me watching Maxey blow bys and dude can’t get a whistle despite averaging 20 a game in the league. Few can keep him in front of them and dude gets 3.5 foul shots a game. This dude shows up out of nowhere but he wears purple and gold so he gets a superstars whistle. Pure shenanigans.

Come on zebras keep your head in the game

Basketball is the most fucked sport because it has the most fucked refs. All levels kids to pros.

What young player have you seen get this whistle? GTFO. This is a touch foul where Reaves creates the contact with his shoulder. Should have been a play on.

I won't go full conspiracy theory like you but i will say it is extremely weird to see a role player get the calls he's been getting the last few games. Not even bron get that type of whistle

I gotta speak in code.

Lebron had 13+ fts once all season lol. Reaves just did it 3x

I’m saying it won’t matter to them, they aren’t going to stress him out

The Clippers are 6-11 without PG this season.

Austin Reaves is a foul merchant. Only a Laker can have a bum go and get to the line 13,14,15,16 times. Meanwhile you have young players all over the league who can’t get a fair whistle. Typical Lakers bull shit. It’s getting late and the league needs to ensure Lakers are included in the playoffs.

two words. Scott Foster. He better not be a ref in the playoffs

Wtf is this shit lol

Yep. How many times do you see action like this and it’s play on?

Yup, Leonard can’t win by himself

Knicks at Miami tonight

How the hell is Miami -2 ?

Somebody missing from the Knicks ?

You were saying?

There were some questionable calls against the Suns, but nothing out of the ordinary, imo. Half of those free throws were attempted by AD and Reaves. AD got several calls in the 2nd half when he started being aggressive because, with Ayton out, the Suns didn't have anyone who could defend him and Reaves has become very good at drawing fouls.

 

[shopson67]

Meh, I'll take help however it comes. Lakers have had their share of injuries to deal with too (and shade thrown because of them).

 

[shopson67]

Nope.

That was it.

But, the Lebron Stan’s are coming for him anyway.

I need to hear the context of the question and answer.

It is being assumed, on toxic ass NBA twitter, that it’s because of the Allstar block.

If it’s simple phrasing?

Click bait.

His wording was off. Something like "I didn't mold my game after Lebron because" would've been smoother than "I didn't like his game".

 

[trojanfan12]

I don’t know what needs to happen for the Thunder, I think I’ll focus on them winning their games when they play.

That's kind of where I am with the Lakers. I'm not really paying much attention to how far they are from any particular spot. Just win your games and everything else will take care of itself.

 

[bksballer89]

Cant read into the numbers like that. Actually have to look into stuff. I did a quick search and kawhi missed at least 9 of those games that pg missed. Very few teams are successful when their top 2 are both out

My GAWD…

People just don’t like being employed .

But, Mina wins the internet with this avatar change.

That’s how you clap back.

Mila Kunis is Ukranian and Jewish, not Japanese lol.
