    No fast break points because you generally have to play defense to get those.

    It really isn't. The Lakers have been the aggressors since the start of the second quarter. Driving into the lane and playing more physically than the other team will almost always lead to forcing the refs to call a game that leans in your favor. This isn't some screw job by the refs, this is a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    This is the most rigged shit I’ve maybe ever seen

    National TV

    L*kers

    Ball

    The early non continuation calls

    The horrible calls after

    The announcers

    This is exactly why the NBA has been and will be wrestling

    0 fast break points.....with a team this young that can run. Just philosophy. Don't run, don't play defense, switch everything even when you don't need to. That is all coaching.

    The refs fucking over the Sacramento Kings in the WCF finals against the Lakers wins that honor. This game isn't even in the top 10,000.

    How do you explain the two obvious non continuation calls early that were so flagrantly bad? Set a tone

    Blatant! A close 2nd is the PHX Suns shooting 55 FTs against the Sonics in a game 7 so the NBA could have Jordan/Barkley.

    I love that fans here complain about other fan bases whining about the refs.

    They're fouling the shit out of us and the refs whistle it super late like "Hmm should we call it?"... fuckers.

    Calls get missed all the time. You're not being objective.

    Yeah I know. That’s the worst. But.... this is Blazers/Lakers, and the NBA wants so badly for the Lakers to be good. National TV

    It stinks

    The fact you admit they have 10,000 games worse than this just shows how fucked this league is.
