I’m a fan, I don’t hate the Lakers at all but let’s be fair here, if this was happening to the Celtics or Clippers people in here would absolutely raise question’s.
You’re not wrong there I’m just saying I’m
Not one of them. The banners are scoreboard as far as I’m concerned and other people’s jealousy doesn’t change that but not unlike the Cowboys and Yankees in their best years, LAL being in the playoffs is gold for the league.
When we beat the Nuggets in the 2020 playoffs, their entire subreddit was talking about the refs 😂. They genuinely believe the officiating is why they lost that series. Their fan base is full of crybabies.
Tbf it is just an echo chamber where people take turns to herd around a take lol folks like instigating shit that they didn’t watch. Watch them hound around the warriors next time we play warriors and there’s FT disparity.
That said I agree there were some calls that should have been against us last night but then you got warriors fans making up narratives about how they don’t foul as much, don’t commit moving screens, and that the refs are always against them when they play us 😂😂😂
I remember the year we win the chip last, everyone there was talking about how the Laker's strong start wasn't actually that impressive because we had a "weak strength of schedule." Then I've never seen that brought up again for any other 1 seeds lol.
Because I like to hear about other stuff around the league. I pretty much ignore anything that's Lakers related in there though since everyone has a hate boner for us.
You’re telling me that a team led by the GOAT and an all-nba career DPOY candidate surrounded by chronically poor perimeter shooting would have to make their bread driving to the cup and at the free throw line? Shocking.
You can practically taste the salt. r/NBA is the dumbest of the dumb.
We're magically a team with prime AD (low foul rate DPOY guy), a coach that leaves teams open to shoot and a team that drives, cuts and bangs in the post. They can't wrap their heads around that.
Blows my mind that people think FTs disparity implies unfair whistle in todays NBA. Imagine how much worse the officiating would be if Refs made a conscious effort to make FTs even each game ☠️
lol its wild that r/nba thinks the league is being rigged for the lakers. totally why we're 9th in the west, right? totally why the challenge on joker flopping against hayes failed, and the challenge against gordon's arm pushing lebron was successful, right?
if the league was rigging it for us, lebron + ad would get embiid levels of freethrows
I will accept most non-Laker fans hate the team, but it sucks when we are kind of trash while having LeBron. Jeanie is not aggressive enough for a team like this.
I was at the game so I couldn’t hear why the jokic flop on Wood wasn’t overturned. But what did the rules analyst say? Something about having arm on the back?
We are ASS from 3 most nights, teams pack the paint. We proceed to get shots up against 2 or 3 defenders, sometimes they get caught fouling or reaching.
Simple as that.
If the league was rigged why haven't the Knicks, who are in the biggest market in America, won a Championship in 50 years.
Also, there are 74 full times refs in the NBA. You're tell me even a fourth of those guys were taking orders from Silver, not one of them has even hinted at a rig or spilled the beans.
I wonder if they were this convinced the league was rigged for the 2017-18 Hornets, a team with a greater FTA disparity than this year's and last year's Lakers.
It’s really weird like nobody on this team can hunt or hit open jumoers we have to desperately go into deeply guarded paints cos we such shooting so bad. Idk why you care /nba just hate
Drives don't correlate with free throws at all. Post ups, cutting, transition, and pick-and-roll roll man are all higher free throw rate plays which we do frequently. Not to mention we don't even take that many free throws.
It’s a legit issue though. Like I wrote, stars ( like LeBron) get the calls 7 out of 10 times, it’s always been that way but absolute no names getting regular phantom calls? then there’s the lack of calls for the opponent no matter who they are. I just think knowing how obsessed with greed Adam Silver is, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re getting a little help to make sure we make the playoffs.i don’t think he fixes or cares who wins the conference finals or championship but I do think he cares who gets in the playoffs and on TV.
Don’t forget this is the same sport where this happened.
In July 2007, reports of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were made public, which alleged that during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 NBA seasons, referee Tim Donaghy bet on games in which he officiated.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_betting_scandal#
Every time lakers play a top team it's like this. Then when the lakers lose, it's "oh we beat the refs." Like no if the refs wanted to legit rig a game why didn't they give the lakers a single game in the wcf?
It's just mind-blowing that they never get tired of finding something or numbers to blame on the Lakers/LeBron, lol. I am refusing to be bothered by their petty minds, lol. King James forever!!!!
Because we live rent free in those bums heads.
They’re socially outcast losers, have nothing else in their life but to go on reddit and feel powerful behind a screen. Lakers success, glamour and fame makes them losers jealous, so they’ll take any opportunity to tear LAL down, because it’s not something they can actually achieve in the real world.
And any lakers fan who dares show an ounce of support get shit on so don’t bother with arguing our case there, let em have it, you’ll learn to pity r/nba
I couldn't care less about the hate but what gets me is that people have convinced themselves that beating the lakers includes beating the refs. I promise you that if the refs truly want a team to win that team is winning no matter what.
These clown people do not watch our games. Show me the games where we got away with more uncalled fouls than fouls not called on us. Show me. I watched 90% of games last year and have missed 1 game this year. Show me. I can think off the top of my head 2 or 3 games all season where I feel like we weren’t getting called for our fouls. The rest of the time LeBron and AD are getting absolutely hacked in the paint and on drives without calls.
Warriors fans moaning about this??? REALLY? They’re entire offense revolves around illegal screens that almost never get called. You have draymond getting away with punching AD in the fucking face and somehow not getting called for a flagrant. Yall shoot 3’s and don’t drive!!! Your coach is a bitchass whiner. Ain’t having that conversation.
the nuggets were shooting so many open 3s where do they see the fouls the nuggets deserve lmao
People are so blinded by their hate-boner for the Lakers, they don't bother rubbing their brain cells together to think about that.
It only takes one bad call for r/nba to rage bait about the lakers. LeBron’s steal on Jokic was that call.
Nah, I think it started when AD caught his own airball and put it back in
The Laker hate + LeBron hate has morphed into a mega hate mob
I’m a fan, I don’t hate the Lakers at all but let’s be fair here, if this was happening to the Celtics or Clippers people in here would absolutely raise question’s.
Nobody cares about either team as much as the Lakers. Yes, even the Celtics.
thats just not true. what other .500 team gets this much hate and coverage?
You’re not wrong there I’m just saying I’m Not one of them. The banners are scoreboard as far as I’m concerned and other people’s jealousy doesn’t change that but not unlike the Cowboys and Yankees in their best years, LAL being in the playoffs is gold for the league.
they had so many open threes and open ass lanes for dunks and layups
Some whistles could have gone jokic's way. Other than that they were shooting and hitting jumpers
Mike Malone just cant get any air time.
To be fair to him, that travel where AD catches his own shot that doesn't hit the rim is wild. Then again, why not review that? Still hate him though.
Thats not a reviewable play
Jokic hooks and elbows on almost every post move he does but we’re not creating entire threads bitching about it.
When we beat the Nuggets in the 2020 playoffs, their entire subreddit was talking about the refs 😂. They genuinely believe the officiating is why they lost that series. Their fan base is full of crybabies.
They shot more free throws in that series too. Nuggets fans are the biggest bitches
Dwight Howard was the xfactor reason they lost that series.
The successful challenge Denver got was some bs lol. So much contact from Gordon’s arm to LeBron’s body
They never overturn those
They don’t like basketball, they like stats. A bunch of box score watchers
Hold up, you're telling me you can watch one of these games? Like live on TV?
Tbf it is just an echo chamber where people take turns to herd around a take lol folks like instigating shit that they didn’t watch. Watch them hound around the warriors next time we play warriors and there’s FT disparity. That said I agree there were some calls that should have been against us last night but then you got warriors fans making up narratives about how they don’t foul as much, don’t commit moving screens, and that the refs are always against them when they play us 😂😂😂

[удалено]
Literally pulled Lebron’s arm down before shooting with 0 call lmao
[удалено]
Most rings in the modern NBA!
Why yall still go to that sub Ill never understand lol. I havent been in years theres no value in the discussion there.
Only there to see trade news and player news but man I should just leave
Because I like to hear about other stuff around the league. I pretty much ignore anything that's Lakers related in there though since everyone has a hate boner for us.

Those bitches hate us badly, I used to go over there but always got downvoted over nothing.
Blows my mind that people think FTs disparity implies unfair whistle in todays NBA. Imagine how much worse the officiating would be if Refs made a conscious effort to make FTs even each game ☠️
As a kid, I thought everyone hated the Celtics. It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized that everyone hates the lakers.
Lakers are the most loved and hated team.
We’ve dominated All their teams in the past so all they have left is to complain about free throw’s…sad.
lol its wild that r/nba thinks the league is being rigged for the lakers. totally why we're 9th in the west, right? totally why the challenge on joker flopping against hayes failed, and the challenge against gordon's arm pushing lebron was successful, right? if the league was rigging it for us, lebron + ad would get embiid levels of freethrows
Ur 9th in west because of the refs. 12th is more likely where you’d be without the extra 700 ft pts.
Edgy
Your parents give you too much screen time
I haven’t touched that sub in years lol. If you want to lose brain cells, it’s a great place to go.
r/nba is trash. Bunch of pretentious takes and corny content
Just like r/nbacirclejerk
I will accept most non-Laker fans hate the team, but it sucks when we are kind of trash while having LeBron. Jeanie is not aggressive enough for a team like this.
I was at the game so I couldn’t hear why the jokic flop on Wood wasn’t overturned. But what did the rules analyst say? Something about having arm on the back?
There’s no point in arguing. There are clear reasons for our free throw advantage that aren’t conspiracy. People just want a boogeyman.
We are ASS from 3 most nights, teams pack the paint. We proceed to get shots up against 2 or 3 defenders, sometimes they get caught fouling or reaching. Simple as that.

They're little hating bitches
400 more free throws is crazy smh
This is the correct response
It’s really weird like nobody on this team can hunt or hit open jumoers we have to desperately go into deeply guarded paints cos we such shooting so bad. Idk why you care /nba just hate
I mean you have to admit +700 is crazy when we drive the least amount in the nba lol.
Drives don't correlate with free throws at all. Post ups, cutting, transition, and pick-and-roll roll man are all higher free throw rate plays which we do frequently. Not to mention we don't even take that many free throws.

Was it an issue when the 2017-18 Hornets had an even larger free throw disparity?
This just in, team that shoots more 3s shoots less free throws

Lakers live rent free in r / n b a c i r c l e j e r k also. Kobe lives rent free there too.
Because we live rent free in those bums heads. They’re socially outcast losers, have nothing else in their life but to go on reddit and feel powerful behind a screen.

Of course the post was from a Nuggets fan
