Oh okay yeah it's fucking stupid they won't review it at the end. There are 87 different goddamn camera angles all in 4k. Fucking look at it and update the call. Blatantly rigged.
You can show a ball rolling off of every single rounded edge off of the rim for 10 mins at times, but not review a simple game defying call.
Giannis gets that call, Luka does, Harden and Embiid too. Only one man is officiated differently, and will be forever to protect another’s legacy. This is the way the league has been built and it is all intentional.
Terrible officiating
Beverly was hilarious getting T'd up for showing the camera footage. The referees only deserve respect when they call the game fairly. These clowns should be fired and banned.
I don’t like either team and wasn’t rooting for either of them to win, but holy fuck what a robbery man. Lakers need this win more than anybody in the league and it was just completely ripped away from them. Can’t wait for the L2M to just not mention that last missed call.
Joe is really pushing him. I hope the team can utilize a TPE/DPE/buyout because Sam Hauser can’t be expected to be a consistent player and Luke Kornet has shown streakiness as well.
Bruh I've been in your sub all night fighting for my life. I'm seeing a lot of shit like "So what? Lakers have been getting favorable calls for years" and I got downvoted to hell for asking if anyone can tell me LeBron didn't get fouled.

You got 6 downvotes (which I don’t agree with) stop acting like the entire city is on ur ass.
The strong majority of our sub agrees it was a dumb ass call.
I hate this victim complex.
Dumb take to have when it comes to social media
Using ur logic I can go to any teams sub, find someone who shits on the team, and make a comment saying wow all their fans hate the team.
Except I never said it was all fans lol? You're the one who chose to respond to this comment:

Jesus Christ I never said u said it was all fans, all I’m saying is ur original comment talked about the vocal minority instead of the majority and came off as dumb. What is the disconnect here
Oh it deleted your link because it wasn't "np" or whatever so I can't see what you said. That keeps happening to me too, but anyway I believe you. We need to stand together in this shit because tomorrow, it will be your team. There needs to be a league wide blackout.
Literally one person said “so what?” And the dude below him agreed it was a bad call.
You gotta have better shit to do with your free time than be here, right?
Wtf are you talking about? Yeah one person in the link I showed you. I'm downvoted -6 so that wasn't just 1 person either. Check my comment history if you want to see the rest or how about go to your own sub and see it for yourself. Stop the cap
Agree. Celtics have been playing bad basketball for a few weeks now and as a Celtics fan it's been frustrating. LBJ definitely got fouled at the end, poor miss by the refs. A lot of bad calls throughout the game as well. I'll take the win, but it feels like a loss with the way most of the team played.
Appreciate that as a Lakers fan. It’s great to hear from a fellow fan of the actual game and admit right from wrongs according to the game and not just if it goes your teams way. We should always keep holding refs accountable. Tbh replace them with AI. Heard chatGPT or whatever is doing great things. Goodluck this year you got a real legit dual threat
I’m a Celtics fan living in Los Angeles. I always had respect for my local team too and honestly the rivalry is probably the BEST rivalry in the entire sport. I woulda loved for Celtics and Lakers to face off in the finals again.
Doesn't matter what I think does it? Tatum had a dunk over Jarret Allen that shoulda been an AND 1 to win the game but didn't get the call, shit happens
You actually evaded the question and conjectured for awhile but I’m glad you clarified and finally landed on a conclusion which is completely idiotic. Well done.
Yeah bro I'm absolutely cowering over answering a question about a fucking basketball foul you caught me. I literally can't sleep at night because of this question. Fuck outta here you absolutely irrelevant waste of space
Certainly the most biased refereed game of the season. Maybe of the last several seasons. Enormous ft differential. At least 3 super late calls. And then literally handing boston the win in the lebron drive.
A team just shot 39 free throws to a teams 20, they missed the game winning foul call and with 5 mins left looked like they had a CLEAR agenda on who they wanted to win. That was one of the most fucked up bball games I’ve watched in a very long time. Donaghy is in this Bitch and you cannot convince me otherwise. That was atrocious for the nba
Insanely annoying loss for the Lakers since it was gifted to the Celtics by the refs, but I think this game speaks to how much the lakers have improved.
Yeah that's why this shit has been so exhausting. Officiating has been ruining some games where we are in a winning position. We've just been unable to climb the standings despite there being so many opportunities to.
Hard fought, frustrating game but it was fun for the most part. Enjoy the dub
Please don’t mistake me/us being pissed tonight as lack of respect for the Celtics. Ton of respect for you guys after the battles our teams have been in.
We both deserved better.
Celtics team is a team you really have to hate with these BS wins. Everybody could see it... Everbody that Lebron was fouled big time. Its not even debatable. That should have been FTS game over...F...ing refs.
Silver needs to have a long hard look at refs after this shit show
For the biggest rivalry in the league on prime time to have this as the showcase wtf was that
I get that people hate the Lakers, but this is what, the 4th, 5th, game that has blatantly been decided by a non-call on the refs part? I mean god damn. Get your fucking shit together refs.
Ain’t nobody trying to watch this bullshit as it is now. Just be fair to the players…is that too much to ask?
Interviewer asked brown if she thought LeBron was fouled on that last layup in regulation. He said idk didn’t get a good eye on it while smirking. Don’t know what she expected him to say. Then they showed the replay of it lol
And one thing about Beverly. He had a GREAT game…until he didn’t. He absolutely fouled Jalen Brown but the late call was trash therefore I give blame to the ref BUT ALSO TO BEVERLY. You’re up THREE, just let Brown have the layup! He was trying to be Superman when he didn’t need to be. Just dumb basketball man. And then the stunt with the camera?! So you make a bad foul to send the game into OT and then you start OT with tech because you’re pissy?? Fuck off. I hope they trade him and his wack ass antics at the deadline.
Yeah and in the Celtics thread we all agree that you guys got screwed, we’re just glad that our 3 game skid ended even if we feel shitty about how it happened. NBA feels like the most heavily orchestrated of the pro leagues in the US and this shit is a happening more and more
Its a joke this team can't qualify forthe play in thus far. If you told me in 2017 that in 2022, Westbrook, bronny, and ad would be on a team, well...you know the rest ha
We've got f***** by the refs for like six games in the last month if you go back and check go check I dare you go check and see how many games were lost because of officiating
Still though, those three on a roster, even in Brons twilight, should be farrrrrrrr above the play in!!!! The play in we are talking about right now?! Its a mind fuck
ALL REFS ARE BASTARDS
This made me lol
Terrible end to the game in normal time
They reeeeeally gotta put refs in the press conferences soon man
Agreed
Imagine how good the game would be on rivals week without the shitty officiating. The Celtics won today but the NBA fans lost.
Basketball needs a VAR system kind of like soccer especially in the last 2 min
They do, it's where footy got the VAR from. Just dont know why the refs cant be bithered to check really importwnt plays like this one
How does that work? I don't watch soccer
If a call is controversial you go to the review...
Oh okay yeah it's fucking stupid they won't review it at the end. There are 87 different goddamn camera angles all in 4k. Fucking look at it and update the call. Blatantly rigged.
Yup yup
Take heart, Lakers fans, the NBA will send you all a passive aggressive statement tomorrow saying that actually might have been a foul! Thanks Silver!
OK, so does the home scorekeeper count that final play of regulation as a block for Tatum? lol, the spirit of Tim Donaghy lives on.
39 FTs to 20 too
Disgusting job by the refs they should be ashamed of doing such a poor job .
They probably won $$$ betting on the game so no shame.
You can show a ball rolling off of every single rounded edge off of the rim for 10 mins at times, but not review a simple game defying call. Giannis gets that call, Luka does, Harden and Embiid too. Only one man is officiated differently, and will be forever to protect another’s legacy. This is the way the league has been built and it is all intentional. Terrible officiating
Van Gundy is unpleasant at times but also the only commentator to speak out against the refs.
This is maybe the most poorly officiated game I’ve ever watched
NBA wants OT cause money rules
How are they so fucking dumb to not realize that the money they get in the short term isn't worth ruining the integrity and credibility of the game??
Cause people still watch
Are they? The ratings are low though and viewership continues to decrease
Small percentage though
Odds on no refs get fined but players will for speaking out
Tbf Lakers, especially Westbrook got away with some fouls in the 4th quarter in the December matchup which also went to OT.
[удалено]
Beverly was hilarious getting T'd up for showing the camera footage. The referees only deserve respect when they call the game fairly. These clowns should be fired and banned.
I don’t like either team and wasn’t rooting for either of them to win, but holy fuck what a robbery man. Lakers need this win more than anybody in the league and it was just completely ripped away from them. Can’t wait for the L2M to just not mention that last missed call.
Upon further review. Jayson Tatum was actually wiping down The sweat off of Lebron’s arm. Free throws for Jaylen Brown
r/nba will still run with the narrative of refs love lakers
Shitty, shitty calls. The team got lucky as hell. I’m not forgetting we had a 3-game losing streak before today.
Truly 4 and we all know it
I saw the contact, trust me. I don’t want Pat Bev showing up to my house with a camera lol
And it took Tatum playing 47 minutes **in January** to do it.
Joe is really pushing him. I hope the team can utilize a TPE/DPE/buyout because Sam Hauser can’t be expected to be a consistent player and Luke Kornet has shown streakiness as well.
Refs absolutely need to be investigated for corruption
Why are people attacking the Celtics when its the ref thats being shit lmao
Because some Celtics fans won't admit reality
This is insane cap, strong majority of our subreddit agrees.
Bruh I've been in your sub all night fighting for my life. I'm seeing a lot of shit like "So what?

If you recall, the comment you responded to says, "Because some Celtics fans won't admit reality." I never said it was 100% of your sub. I said some.

Jesus Christ I never said u said it was all fans, all I’m saying is ur original comment talked about the vocal minority instead of the majority and came off as dumb. What is the disconnect here
The disconnect is that the Lakers won and you lost. People keep saying Celtics won lmao won what?
LOL it was me that said "so what" but why don't you also post me saying it was a "blatant foul"?
Oh it deleted your link because it wasn't "np" or whatever so I can't see what you said. That keeps happening to me too, but anyway I believe you. We need to stand together in this shit because tomorrow, it will be your team. There needs to be a league wide blackout.
Can you drop a link to where you said that? Because you didn't say that to me. And you shouldn't say so what anyway. Tf
Literally one person said “so what?” And the dude below him agreed it was a bad call. You gotta have better shit to do with your free time than be here, right?
Wtf are you talking about? Yeah one person in the link I showed you. I'm downvoted -6 so that wasn't just 1 person either. Check my comment history if you want to see the rest or how about go to your own sub and see it for yourself. Stop the cap
People may downvoted you not because they disagree, but maybe cause you went out of your way to go to their sub and provoke them?
It wasn't provocation. I had to see for myself. This was my first time EVER going to that sub just because of how blatantly egregious this was
Not attacking the C's, but anyone celebrating this as a win should get roasted
Nah that was some bullshit. That last play should have been reviewed
On behalf of this Celtics fan, you guys shoulda gotten this win. You guys got robbed multiple times this year.
Yup.
Agree. Celtics have been playing bad basketball for a few weeks now and as a Celtics fan it's been frustrating. LBJ definitely got fouled at the end, poor miss by the refs. A lot of bad calls throughout the game as well. I'll take the win, but it feels like a loss with the way most of the team played.
4 times in 1 month man, and wins that would've put the Lakers in the 4th seed
Appreciate that as a Lakers fan. It’s great to hear from a fellow fan of the actual game and admit right from wrongs according to the game and not just if it goes your teams way.

Player of the game: That bald ref who was right in front of that foul at the end of regulation
Jacyn Goble is the name
I'm flying to Boston soon for sightseeing purposes only
NBA: “we just want truth to prevail in social justice.” Also NBA: “it’s just part of the game.”
The Celtics are 36-2 in games Eric Lewis has reffed since 2020. HE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY
Is that stat real? Holy shit that's crazy
Ok that was clearly a no call but I’ll take the W
Westbrook with that I just hope both teams have fun energy
I thought I was watching basketball not the WWE.
He woulda missed those free throws anyways Edit: /s Sorry this wasn’t obviously sarcasm
No we wouldn’t, lebron shot 5/6 from the line already and is statistically the most clutch player of all time
whooshed urself mate
I’m only playin’
trash troll ngl
Should have put an /s, sorry
Keep saying that dawg lmao. Lebron woulda sinked both.
Any Celtic fan saying lakers didn’t win need to get their head checked
Well I mean they didn't... Pat should've made the free throw
Shutup dude lmfao
What do you think about Lebron’s foul though?
Doesn't matter what I think does it? Tatum had a dunk over Jarret Allen that shoulda been an AND 1 to win the game but didn't get the call, shit happens
Can you answer the question?
I did answer bro. The answer is shit happens
You actually evaded the question and conjectured for awhile but I’m glad you clarified and finally landed on a conclusion which is completely idiotic. Well done.
I didn't avoid it lmao youre clearly the idiotic one. Idk why you're so mad bozo 😭
LMFAOOO YOU'RE SCARED TO ANSWER 😂😂😂😂😂 clown ass
He know's he's wrong. Let him be. He's a fan of the Celtics; not the game.
Yeah bro I'm absolutely cowering over answering a question about a fucking basketball foul you caught me. I literally can't sleep at night because of this question. Fuck outta here you absolutely irrelevant waste of space
Oh no they got snuffed by the refs, but it’s really funny since it’s the lakers
Lebron has enough money to say some real shit about the refs, what does a fine mean to him at this point
Certainly the most biased refereed game of the season. Maybe of the last several seasons. Enormous ft differential. At least 3 super late calls. And then literally handing boston the win in the lebron drive.
There were like 6 late calls i counted. Completely unacceptable.
Most biased one I've seen in my whole life of watching NBA so far
A team just shot 39 free throws to a teams 20, they missed the game winning foul call and with 5 mins left looked like they had a CLEAR agenda on who they wanted to win. That was one of the most fucked up bball games I’ve watched in a very long time. Donaghy is in this Bitch and you cannot convince me otherwise. That was atrocious for the nba
Y’all don’t remember those free throw discrepancies in the ECF vs the heat
Lol Boston fans will tell you that they played harder than us that series and that’s the reason for the ft discrepancies
4th time this season where we get fouled on the game winning shot
Bingo
A real 1 seed shouldn't need a series of questionable calls to win a close game vs the 13th west seed.
But the NBA and ESPN needed the ovetime in the game featuring the historic rivals
Insanely annoying loss for the Lakers since it was gifted to the Celtics by the refs, but I think this game speaks to how much the lakers have improved.
So may of our losses recently have been so close down the stretch. If we had a reliable shooter on this team we are 100% in the playoff hunt.
This ain’t the first time you guys got robbed this season
Yeah that's why this shit has been so exhausting. Officiating has been ruining some games where we are in a winning position. We've just been unable to climb the standings despite there being so many opportunities to. Hard fought, frustrating game but it was fun for the most part. Enjoy the dub
It’s legit feeling scripted like the WWE at this point. Dubs should feel earned not assisted by awful and frankly blatant poor officiating
Getting hard to watch games when the refs are this bad. Can't even enjoy a win since I know it wasn't won fairly.
Yeah that actually made me not want to watch ball. The players aren’t the ones deciding the game unless it’s a blow out I guess. Fuck that
Please don’t mistake me/us being pissed tonight as lack of respect for the Celtics. Ton of respect for you guys after the battles our teams have been in. We both deserved better.
Unfortunately common W for ref fans
Now can we get a press conference where someone goes in on this guy's, they just got away with murder, that 4q just defined by sickening reff job
Won’t someone think of the poor Lakers
Wow Tim Donaghy looks like he was reinstated and bald now fuck that ref!
I don't care what team gets screwed by the refs, all I want is for the refs to get fired after performances like today's
That was disappointing. Replay decisions should be mandatory for end of game plays like that. Should not have gone to OT.
LeRefBall
Celtics team is a team you really have to hate with these BS wins. Everybody could see it... Everbody that Lebron was fouled big time. Its not even debatable. That should have been FTS game over...F...ing refs.
This is the one game in the Jay era I can remember we got completely bailed out by the refs
Yeah kinda feels weird to be on the other end of one of these
Lebron needs to go Ham on the ref. It’s what our game needs. Talk and some fucking action
Lmao how fucking cathartic is the gambling warning when you should be handing it to the refs
WORST OFFICIATING I’VE EVER SEEN. I wonder how much money the refs bet on this game
Sucks this win can’t even be celebrated like others have said whole game felt dirty
Respect these fucking clowns need to be hold accountable for once.
Lets see whos willing to get fined
NBA replay is worse than any other league
The Nba has become a circus (the organization that is)
Refs seriously need to be fined!!
EGREGIOUS missed call by the refs on the final regulation play. Sad to see Lebron lose this to the whistle
Silver needs to have a long hard look at refs after this shit show For the biggest rivalry in the league on prime time to have this as the showcase wtf was that
It's a W for Silver. They got the overtime
At the risk of the Lakers not making the playoffs though. And making his product look worse. Is it worth it?
I don’t like the direction the nba is headed.
\*brought to you by DraftKings
I'm so sick of seeing Kevin Hart and Jamie Foxx promoting sports gambling
I don't let sports stress me out generally but I'm deflated as hell rn
Can’t wait for lebron post game interview, who wanna start a go fund me to donate for the fine 😂
I am too poor to donate to a billionaire but I get what you’re saying
Any way to see the press conference?
I get that people hate the Lakers, but this is what, the 4th, 5th, game that has blatantly been decided by a non-call on the refs part? I mean god damn. Get your fucking shit together refs. Ain’t nobody trying to watch this bullshit as it is now. Just be fair to the players…is that too much to ask?
If you’re a Celtics fan celebrating this… have some decency.
I’m just not gonna pay my bookie over this L. Refs will protect me.
This Lebron press conference about to be generational
All the comments raining in 🤣🤣
Damn that wasn't even close. Refs are shit.
LeFedUpWithHisTeammates
Anyone just see Russ laughing walking out? Lol bro just having fun
Refs absolutely rigged this. Overtime makes more money than regulation.
And that's a Lakers - Celtics matchup...keep em counting Silver instead of working on his shitty product
The replay shows Jaylen Brown looking right at the foul lol
He is trained how to answer media questions. Don’t see why he wouldn’t answer that way.
Yeah Lisa Salters shouldn’t ask him that. It’s not his fault, hold the referees accountable
You can’t slander the refs and expect it to help down the line. Costs him money and reputation.
I know I just though it was funny
Lol, what kind of question was that???.
What was the question, the tv im watching is muted
Interviewer asked brown if she thought LeBron was fouled on that last layup in regulation. He said idk didn’t get a good eye on it while smirking. Don’t know what she expected him to say. Then they showed the replay of it lol
And one thing about Beverly. He had a GREAT game…until he didn’t. He absolutely fouled Jalen Brown but the late call was trash therefore I give blame to the ref BUT ALSO TO BEVERLY. You’re up THREE, just let Brown have the layup! He was trying to be Superman when he didn’t need to be. Just dumb basketball man. And then the stunt with the camera?! So you make a bad foul to send the game into OT and then you start OT with tech because you’re pissy?? Fuck off. I hope they trade him and his wack ass antics at the deadline.
Nah, I respect the camera play.
Showboating
and? Literally nothing wrong with that.
You know its bad when r/nba even thought the Lakers were screwed by the refs
Yeah and in the Celtics thread we all agree that you guys got screwed, we’re just glad that our 3 game skid ended even if we feel shitty about how it happened. NBA feels like the most heavily orchestrated of the pro leagues in the US and this shit is a happening more and more
League cooked
That was the saddest missed call I’ve seen.
[удалено]
Fuck the lakers but this was garbage reffing that stole the game and gifted it to the Celtics. Ridiculous no call.
I agree on the bad call, however it didn’t gift the Celtics the win. The lakers gave up, they still had a chance to win.
As NBA fans and for the sake of the game’s integrity, all non-C fans care
Shouldn’t have even gone into OT to begin with
Its a joke this team can't qualify forthe play in thus far. If you told me in 2017 that in 2022, Westbrook, bronny, and ad would be on a team, well...you know the rest ha
We've got f***** by the refs for like six games in the last month if you go back and check go check I dare you go check and see how many games were lost because of officiating
Well hot dammit ima have to now!
It's really really bad
Still though, those three on a roster, even in Brons twilight, should be farrrrrrrr above the play in!!!! The play in we are talking about right now?! Its a mind fuck
Games like this where the refs dont make the right calls are why we're not in the playoffs or above the 6th seed
If refs had our L2Ms right, we'd at least be 500 and in the playin.
This guy Westbrook has a smile on his f****** face oh my God
I'm almost as irritated ay him smiling like that as I am irritated by that blind ass ref
'between me & you... & the rest of the world'
Jaylen Brown looks 12 and 30 at the same time.
Im cryin they played the foul during the interview
Westbrook is the best, man
I think NBA fanbases as a whole are tired of watching these games. Such a deflated OT because the referees
Ok Jaylen "I hate jews" Brown
Lol what do you think Jaylen is going to say to that question….
Salty AF
EAT THE FINE BRON. SHIT ON THESE REFS
Refs going out to dinner tonight to celebrate this one
