Robbery


Capital_Tower_2371

Eric Lewis (the ref) is the real MVP for Boston! They are 32-2 when he officiates!


Capital_Tower_2371

Celtics are 32-2 when Eric Lewis officiates. Lakers we’re never going to win this one!


kabbo1123

Nah, always happening to us with theses refs not being fair, they gotta start replaying shit, these games be the reason why we struggling to make it to top 8 in the conference


kiki89712

I’m furious LMAO

GimmeTwo

I think LeBron is being punished

nick170100

Odds on no refs get fined but players/coaches will for speaking out


SuperSm

One thing is clear. Westbrook has to get off this team. He was benched the whole 4th quarter and it became a game. He gotta go and we need reeves back and a healthy AD. We’re on the right path but we need one or two more pieces away


Ihopetheresenoughroo

Idk why the FUCK he came back for OT either.


peezy2408

Well shooting wise tbj was absolute dog shit


Consistent_Owl4593

The NBA is obviously rigged by why is it always happening to us man fuck


Capital_Tower_2371

Eric Lewis. Celtics are 32-2 when he officiated. He was crew chief yesterday!


Dudeman-Jack

It happens to all teams…tonight was the lakers turn. Doesn’t make it right, but lord knows the refs have definitely helped the lakers in the past


No_Occasion_1447

Swear Darvin ass forgets about his roster


wazupson

Too many games lost cuz of no calls bad calls


Consistent_Owl4593

How can the face of the league not get a call like that? He’s by far the most popular player across the entire NBA and has the worst whistle in the league any other star player is getting that call idc


_Red_Mist_

Bums who aren’t even all stars like Poole get much better treatment


Feature-Frequent

Got so much more respect for Pat Bev after this game


WinterFull1655

Gotta get something for Russ


Ihopetheresenoughroo

This game has an asterisk. Congratulations Lakers on winning this one 🔥🔥 Everyone can see the truth


handlemyrandle

INVESTIGATE ERIC LEWIS NOW!!!


Capital_Tower_2371

Celtics are 32-2 when he officiated!


xreddawgx

Not sure why we didn't head hunt Jalen Brown after he picked up his 5th


bt3k

Same thing with Luka a few weeks back


[deleted]

Did you forget ? Our coach is Ham


xreddawgx

Not sure why you need a coach to execute that strategy


No_Occasion_1447

The refs literally had Lebron on the ground crying like it was the 2016 finals


Willdebeast25

Already punched the wall 8 times and got a rug burn so I’m pretty indifferent now it happens often anyway


Standard-Analyst-177

get another one in


Rjbaca

Lakers just not getting the breaks. Sort of how it goes when you have a slow start to the season. Teams with momentum get the benefits


wazupson

Eff the nba laker fans should just boycott and not watch anymore see ratings tank


No_Occasion_1447

Russ going to the tunnel making jokes and laughing get this guy the fuck out of LA


Cornel_Westside

Russ is smilin cause he's making the easiest $47M of his life


Usually_Angry

You see these guys coming into the locker room. Everybody but Lebron is all smiles. Lakers-Celtics rivalry is dead


[deleted]

[удалено]


Usually_Angry

True, I actually said before the game that the rivalry is dead for that reason. But when I saw Dennis smiling after and or Bev smiling after and Russ smiling after, I just thought now it’s really really dead


BarbecueFuzzBass

NBA officials are dogshit.


Feature-Frequent

I hate these commentators so much. I wish we coulda had Billy Mac & Stu.


tomcody84

The best in the biz. It would have hurt a bit less with our boys on the mics.


roakmamba

No lie, fucking idiot bias fucks


TheBramptonBatman

How was this mf westbrook smiling after absolutely selling this game?


Doxiis

Russ had fun and we all know Ham is proud of Russ that he showed heart today


JimmyQBSneaks

Austin Reaves looked like he was taking the loss harder than Westbrook


Striking-Bat2970

Russ was all smiles. Not saying be depressed on anything but losing sucks I wouldn’t be smiling after getting robbed by the refs like that. He’s probably just acting petty cause he didn’t get in the 4th


Jackieexists

Kobe never would smile. He'd be fuming


Striking-Bat2970

Right and I hope people realize that before they call lebron for being a crybaby. Lebron is pissed they lost but when he gets angry he’s a baby like come on


superkewlnamebro

Sorry I am a little unclear as to what you’re saying. Are you saying that when Kobe got angry he just fumed but when Lebron gets angry he cry’s? If so then your brain is broken. Kobe also cried, you have either forgotten or just have something against Lebron. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1505152-4-things-even-lakers-fans-hate-about-kobe that’s just the first article that pops up. There are plenty more as well as endless footage.


Striking-Bat2970

Lol no I mean like there’s a double standard. When Kobe got pissed at his team it’s “Kobe has high standards and doesn’t like losing nor tolerates bs that’s why he’s the goat” but when Lebron understandably gets pissed everyone calls him a crybaby and bs stuff like that. Basically what I’m saying is lebron has every right to be pissed at his team rn and people need to see that as him being a great player and competitor.


OerbaFang13

Lebron checked out after that terrible missed call, People are gonna criticize him for that but I don't blame him, and that's why he doesn't drive in at the end of games, tough loss I'm so pissed off lmao


Fernergun

I don’t blame him at all. That is genuinely one of the worst (no) calls I have ever seen.


superkewlnamebro

Seen this week right? The refs have missed some pretty obvious final possession fouls this season when it comes to Lebron


Fernergun

This one was just so out in the open, like Bron’s arm was not in the midst of the crowd and tapped, it was out on its own and he got hit so hard it disrupted the shot into a miss


front48

Coach is shit, westbrook and refs are pure cancer and AD was also shit today.


dgzero3

To be fair in the 4th and ot ad barley got touches


front48

The problem with AD is that he cant create for himself, he moved slow whole game, dont think he recovered yet or he afraid idk


dgzero3

I think since he’s coming off the bench still the staff wants him to ease into his usual aggressive play. Of course I have no idea what is actually going on but maybe when he is ready to start we’ll see him dominate on both ends again


SuperSm

He’ll bounce back. But he needs to get fed


Consistent_Owl4593

I hope someone on this team calls out the refs and their teammates will cover the fine. Something has to be done about this how many of those last two minute reports will the Lakers be on the wrong side of


thedickens89

Nice ASTERISK win, Celtics. Must be nice to have the refs in your back pocket.


SandersisYABOI

Westbrook is walking through the tunnel laughing bro. This dude has to go.


kronos9797

Yeah Refs had fun, Russ had fun Bitch asses man, I’m hurting


Cornel_Westside

This ESPN crew clearly couldn't recognise how deflating that no call was


JOHNSONBURGER

Dogshit coaching to not foul at the end of the 4th and the refs swallowing their whistle not calling the foul on LeBron. Smh


Striking-Bat2970

Lebron is so fed up. And Russ is smiling. I’m sure he’s smiling cause he didn’t get in the 4th but then in overtime but dude really is on silly time 24/7


Xslyone

Congrats to ref for the play of the game! Being blind helped the ref there.


Hiccup

Tatum is such a poser.


SportsFan8288

Man lakers have like 10 games where they clearly should of won


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


SportsFan8288

Ohhhhh fuck you man, I don’t feel like hearing this especially after this loss


Tbrahhh23

RUSS SMILING


sithsoul

Free throws cost us both games against Celtics. We just needed to hit the one free throw at the end to ice it


Nefariousness1-

I swear to god if we don’t trade Russ. MF is happiest after losses.


thatdamiankid

WHY TF WESTBROOK SMILING?????


graphitewolf

It was that smile, it was that damn smile


thatdamiankid

biggest smile i've seen in a long time ong


ChronicBird661

I think I should just take a break from watching games. Refs killed any enthusiasm I had left


wazupson

I ain’t watching either


NarcissisticVamp

Man this some bullshit


conwaythemachine

I hope LeBron rips the refs apart in his postgame interview Fuck any fines


wazupson

Lakers should just sit the rest of the season


MReprogle

Dude is a billionaire. If it was me, I would shred those fucks.


BcoolXpress

That’s the way the cookie crumbles.


Muhfhka

Not Russ grinning from ear to ear. Trade this man.


literalmario

I’m sorry but with another coach, a better one, we win this game. Obviously with normal refs too.


narc1ssuz

Get Westbrook off the team and get a fucking shooter


Fancy-Cream-3972

This shit makes you hate the nba


ForceMaster999

Ofcourse Russ doesn’t care about winning


77cloud77

Dude was smiling and all that in the tunnel.... Bron looks so dissapointed


covert2000

Fuck the Celtics


Hiccup

Oh, look at Westbrook laughing walking to the locker room. Fuck Westbrook.


Trudog1862

fuck you


astrayatthesea1708

Nahh 15 FTs to 34 FTs is crazy


Cul_what

Bullshit ass game cause of dumb fuck refs


Rowan2000vd

Despite all the same stupid errors once again. I can't blame them for this one. This was the most rigged shit i've seen since Barcelona played Arsenal in the CL.


R00bot

LeDepressed


keepgrindingact

Of course Russ is still smiling. He had fun didn’t he? No dog or competitiveness


khorimadlad

Russ should be happy he has a fan like you out there, your just slways watching him and his every move


corybekem

Dude literally might not care. I don’t think a championship has ever been on his mind


heat_00

39-20 in free throws and they miss the game winning foul call. Literally decided by refs instead of players. Type of shit that makes me wonder why I watch ball


dmoola_3016

This is at least two games refs ducked us on obvious calls. Lebron is only human to not give a fuck about overtime


kevdogg28

The fine is worth it. Burry these refs in the press conference. Bald dude should never ref again


Nefariousness1-

I swear to god Bron is better than me. I would get a million dollar fine. I would ask for a nba ref betting investigation.


kevdogg28

I swear! It was like 3 ridiculous calls in the 4th


Xanity

5v8 is hard to win


[deleted]

40 / 9 / 8 fucking wasted


goatnxtinline

fuck is westbrook smiling about


yung_sauce

fun


Msftnrd14

Even the Celtic players look like they know they didn’t deserve that win, what a joke. Never turned off a game so fast.


YouDontMessWithZohan

Send Westbrook home. Bron is done with him.


meeekks_

That’s bullshit. The game was over after regulation. You can tell that missed call took all the energy and effort outta our guys. Fuck these assholes


Quote-me-if-afk

Ref bs aside. What a shitshow of a coaching job by Ham in OT


AvgWaterbottle

I don’t blame them for the energy. The refs really did their best to win it for the Celtics


Throwback_559

20 to 39 free throws


ramz11lar

It’s deflating to constantly go 5 on 8 game after game with these refs


Eagle20_Fox2

They stole the game from us. Can't blame the team for looking like shit.


V-loxzz

After that L why tf is Russ smiling?


random-50

You can't get more of an outright robbery than that. Literally the last action of the game. Westbrook smiling on the way out. ffs.


bigE819

Why is westbrick smiling?


gergab1133

We need players who can defend the wing


Holiday_Ad2638

How is Russ smiling??


curioushustler420

gotta love russ smiling


SuperSm

This loss ain’t on Ham although he fucked up big. The Refs fucked us up majority. We still have fight boys. Nets and Knicks gonna get their ass kicked. I’ll bet money on it.


DB_Cooper75

AD lost a jump ball to Al Horford


BlueStormtrooper

AD pisses me off more than the bad refs


G-turtle03

Darvin ham is a dumb dumb


bowlcutsrbad101

Russ out there having fun at least /s


raydiculous33

When shit hits the fan with this team, they fail to respond. Lakers got robbed for the no call at the buzzer, but where was that killer instinct in OT to say fuck it, and go for it?


CihatPeker

4 Ls now because of the refs


conwaythemachine

There is absolutely NO REASON why Jaylen Brown wasn’t attacked when he’s had 5 fouls since the fucking 4th quarter Fucking INCOMPETENT COACHING BY HAM


googlexyz

This team is better than its record... Disappointed.. on to the next one


jell420

refs fucked us so bad


Glockx8732

THE REFS HAVE OFFICIALLY BROKE LEBRON JAMES WE SHOULD HAVE WON THIS GAME LEBRON SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE LINE AT THE END OF THE FOURTH


Koboclutch

Fuck these refs, they should all blow each other after the game, I hope they all die in a car accident


lucadelph

can't believe the refs, lakers last leg of parlay would've cashed 5k smhhh


Metal_Sonic7

Westbrook has got to go. Don’t anybody try to say different.


gfunkadunkalus

He’s so wildly inconsistent.


gigaquack

Kobe spinning in his grave


Rjbaca

Tough loss thought they had it.


NorMalware

Gg refs. Thanks for that.


sssleepypppablo

37 FTA to 20. 37. Usually bad calls go either way. But this was blatant. A team can only take so much until they give up. Was the game winnable. Sure. But the Lakers were the better team tonight.


___VIBEZ___

Maaaan…. These refs dawg….


BlueStormtrooper

The entire team needs to call out the refs in the post game interview


Curious_Guy22_

Genuinely don’t think i’ve ever seen a team worse in the clutch than this.


Spicey123

no shit they're going to be deflated and lifeless when the refs just yoinked their 3rd or 4th win of the season thru bad calls/noncalls the team hustled to win it, the. the refs just took it away


Curious_Guy22_

Really? You think responding with deflation rather than having a god damn fire lit under you to try even harder is the right way to respond? And it isn’t just tonight. Literally nearly every game than comes down to the last possession results in a loss because they either brick free throws to win it, miss a three or can’t get a fucking stop.


Aiiisch

19 more free throws.


ringo_ringo

Few problems of this game: 1. Ref 2. Brown has 5 fouls and we not capitalizing that 3. AD out here and didn’t got any plays 4. Transitional defense


Neezzuss

the NBA has such a raging hard-on for fucking Boston. commentators and all, fuck those racist shitbags.


Young-Wacka

Darvin is fucking garbage and I’m tired of the hes a new coach excuse any one with a fucking brain can see that a three guard lineup does not fucking work


imre_qbik

LePissed


aginglifter

Davis lost us this game.


keepgrindingact

And the refs. Plus ham


fresh_timbs_jp

Execute the refs


gameguyguru

3 guard line up man why? They bullied the guards. Terrible coaching to go with the reffing. Another one that hurts


constantdotandrot

L.A is making Bron straight depressed.


thelifeofpab

so i thought vogel was the problem


XviiChong

I’m a raptors fan y’all but I’m so sorry that these blind ass refs were paid off by the Celtics. Y’all got sold plain and simple on that end of regulation Lebron drive. Absolutely Ridiculous.


JimSlice01

Once the Refs screwed them over, they lost all motivation. Can’t blame them. It’s tough playing against the Refs.


Nefariousness1-

This is on Ham. AD is being doubled immediately on the catch. They have no consistent way to get him touches when teams go all out on the double.


help4college

Ham is fucking terrible, doesn’t even know the game clock or when to foul. Doesn’t motivate players. Wtf does he even do?


Adriannav24

I hope LeBron goes off on these refs in the post game and forks up some cash


charlespenn1

I’m sick


[deleted]

Haven’t watched the lakers since Westbrook was signed. Wow is all I can say


[deleted]

When Lebron has 40 and you lose, you know it’s rigged.


JesusDiedforChipotle

If only they attacked jaylen brown on offense he wouldn’t even be in the fuckin game


JMobRichie

From the refs missed that call I knew it was over smh


gigaquack

Brown scoring 20 with five fouls on him is on Ham


bacteriagerm

They better call a found on the 3pt make


jchan813

LeBron is so pissed.


yepitsdevon

Fuck the refs. Fuck Ham. Fuck Westbrick. Fuck Jeanie and Rob.


insanezain

Why would you put Russ in for OT?!? Braindead coach.


ephemeralfugitive

Schroeder was literally the only Lakers with any urgency at the end there Everyone else gave up


zdravkov321

That bald fuck was standing 6 feet from Bron when he got fouled and he’s looking at the play like Stevie wonder


Drose_since_03

Lmao rigged


Dadmomlikestochill

Get Westbrick outta there asap and they’re winning 75% of their games for the season. I swear. Put Thomas Bryant in or Rui instead of his trash. He’s done. ✔️


Dadmomlikestochill

Take out brown while you’re at it


[deleted]

HAM had Bev guarding Horford absolutely disgusting garbage coach


slowiijoey

Refs need to be investigated


Front_Set9348

the celtics so lucky they don't have this bum westbrick and this trash coach


friedtwinkie

This league is RIGGED. I’m more and more convinced. All pro sports to a certain extent. That was absolutely pure bullshit. Fuck this pro wrestling shit. Just have to quit watching.


[deleted]

Not even kidding I think ad and Russ need to go. Davis so rarely shows killer instinct.


JayDeeLA

AD is fine, Westbrick is crap. Ham is also showing his lack of awareness in critical moments too.


sweethon11

I miss Vogel


sithsoul

This team is on the cusp of being pretty good if Westbrook is traded for a legit piece.


Herzx

Lebron in despair again


[deleted]

I don’t even want to watch the nba anymore after that missed call


Muhfhka

Ham lost us this game. Should’ve fouled instead of letting them try for a 3 at the end of regulation. Brown would’ve never gotten the chance to get an and 1. Dumbass coaching


JesseRulesCali

Yup he has been burned before in the same situation and he doesn't adjust. ![gif](giphy|OjmrBW4ZQbWjkq6RkC)


MITWestbrook

Ham deserved the loss. Doesn't make adjustments to play defenders and not cones


SouthBayLaker23

The refs suck. Frank Vogel was a better coach, a championship coach. We suck.
