The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

The funny part of all this whining is how the Thunder are near the bottom of the league in free throw differential

Plus, pretty much all of the fouls were legit because the Lakers had to play "extreme small ball" so when Joker went into the paint they pretty much had to foul him. At one point they had 4 guards and Koloko in. lol

Personnel should not dictate foul calls, just actual fouls. The whistle was not consistent end to end.

Bitching about the refs is for losers....

Bitching about bitching about the refs is for incels

Off topic but...

I am very happy for St. John's.

They won the Big East tourney earlier tonight.

Personnel didn't dictate anything. They were pretty much all legit calls. Because of the size disadvantage, the Lakers had to try to slap at, grab the ball, try to bump him off balance, etc. to defend him. That leads to fouls.

The Lakers have often led the league or been near the top of the league in free throws and free throw discrepancy because of how they liked to attack the paint with Lebron and with AD (when he was a Laker)...this time it happened to them.

Did the refs miss some calls? Of course, they always do, it's impossible to not miss a call when reffing an NBA game...they did a good job.
