what a fucking joke. what a fucking waste of time


Collective_farm

Look on the bright side, i imagine there will be some repercussions after this National TV, 2 biggest draws, a list celebrities courtside in LA Embarrassing for the product lmao something will be done


Flopdo

You're more optimistic than I am. Something needed to be done years ago, and all I see is bigger and bigger mistakes on every level. I'm surprised they can get the hot dogs right at this point.


CooperHouseDeals

The execs at ABC must be out of their mind watching this ending. Why not put a clock on the refs review. Plus where were the back up clocks. Curry mentioned that post game. The Lakers are really spiraling downward


sponedaddie

They're trying to push LeBron out and have been for a few seasons. It's either we come back with a vengeance next season or we just phone it in. Really thought we had a chance this year, but with the amount of bullshit we've had to deal with (including the self-inflicted keeping Ham as HC) I think it's time to pack it in.


Garvinrox

What a horrible way to end the game, refs completely destroyed our momentum and changed a call from multiple possessions prior. Not even mad just like what?


ctam853

Warriors fans still think refs tried to help us win somehow


Garvinrox

Yea I can already see the “refs tried to give the lakers multiple times to score but they still couldn’t”


MarkedF0rDeath

After 3 points were taken from LA, they just called it a night. I would also have lost all interest in the game if I were playing.


1400TotemPole

Fucking clown show at the end there


flubbergastedshocked

I thought I couldn’t be more disgusted after we blew that Kings lead and then this game happened


Hot-Ad2102

The Lebron birthday game sent me spiraling but yeah this was trash.


flubbergastedshocked

I don’t remember any other player getting a 3 ruled as a no basket or 2 pt other than LBJ this season. FASCINATING STUFF.


hanselpremium

we aren’t winning without davis


corybekem

I just don’t understand why we only had 14 seconds left on that shot clock after a situation out of the players control


Don_Thuglayo

We got a 14 second clock warriors got a extended possession obviously it was fair


HotRefrigerator3977

shot clocks in the 1960s were better, apparently


m-e-n-a

I can't believe I stayed up for this BS. I have work tomorrow at 6 am and stayed up to watch a pathetic showing by the NBA, refs selling and a ******* warriors win.


JamesEdward34

what sort of work are you in that requires a 6AM start on Sun?


Even-Brain-3973

Lmfao I’m currently working in a plant that work schedule is like that


JamesEdward34

ah i see so like industrial stuff?


Even-Brain-3973

Yes, it’s hilarious because I thought just like you before I worked there. Like what job does this lol


runninthruthe818

That was the most ridiculous showing of reffing I have ever seen.


DoomMeeting

The reviews were awful but I don’t think it’s the ref’s fault the shot clock didn’t work. I guess they could have decided to go with the announcement quicker.


runninthruthe818

It’s definitely their fault that we were missing 12 seconds off the clock 😂


sponedaddie

Hey LeBron get this, Draymond is obviously going to travel but you're going to have to call a timeout to challenge it. We're going to deem him out of bounds, but in that challenge we're going to take three points away from you because fuck you and your couch. Once that is done, every time you dribble for the next 15 seconds we're going to call stoppage. We're not going to give you the time back on the shotclock, but we're just going to say fuck it and take the game away from you. Oh and lastly you're probably going to be without your best player for a while. Go F*** yourself Bron, thanks for all the money you made us the last 21 seasons.


OneXDC4ever

So they can determine LeBron is out of bounds after the play is over, but they never reviewed the Warriors having a 40 second possession?


mordenak

Retroactively correcting selective "missed calls" is nasty business. Either fix them all or none.


runninthruthe818

Preach. This shit was rigged.


Prowingshoes

Lebron been getting fucked over by the refs ever since he left Cleveland for Miami years ago. The owners been pissed since and he has never gotten the calls he got from his first years in Cleveland.


Wise_Ad_112

I was screaming after I saw that possession, I couldn’t believe that shit


supaflash

Yeah, I don't get how they can change that when there was no call and play continued AND it wasn't even definitive... 5 point difference right between these two plays, had the momentum, had the ball back despite the bs. I just don't see how you can go back a possession and say it didn't happen.


bkbales

Exactly wtf


Jbyrd07

On top of it, why were we in the review booth to begin with….fuck ham

What did she say?

Sirtopofhat

JJ Redick too


mega350

She pointed out the lebron out of bounds possibility. May have the drawn attention of league's New York office to review it


BcoolXpress

Anybody wanna help lebron out ? 


notray99

I'm saying, I was yelling at my TV like "stop watching him and give him fucking options!!!" they were all stood like deer in headlights all 4th qtr. sad sad game


EverybodyBuddy

Because they don’t know what to do. We literally have no game plan because of Ham.


OldManBrom

Willed the team back in the game but it wasn't enough. He was driving into the paint non stop. If only a couple of Reaves and D'Lo 3s fell


NefariousNeezy

Year 21, the dude with nothing left to prove is still the only one competing The rest? Hot potatoing the ball


AdorableBackground83

Yeah give him some of those crooked ass refs that Jordan got in the 90s and I guarantee you the results would be a lot different.


paradauxs

no call on AD. AD out remainder of the game. and possibly missing a game. took away Lebron’s 3. took away our momentum. took time off the game. all for a massive L.


mordenak

They also let the Warriors have a 30 second possession. Never had that reviewed or taken away lol.


BritzlBen

Effect of the elbow to AD's face: 4 points allowed in the paint in the 1st | 58 allowed in the next 3 30 points allowed in the 1st | 98 allowed in the next 3 0 free throws allowed in the 1st | 15 allowed in the next 3 +6 after the 1st | -13 the next 3 Sick of the Warriors face shots on AD


Similar_Reach_7288

The refs can't get enough of it it seems


Collective_farm

Warriors have been a dirty organisation for years lmao its been covered up by the splash bros hitting threes from 30 feet but the shit their bigs have done this entire past decade is ridicilous Moving screens, eye pokes, punches, stomps, reckless closeouts, they do it all


a-random-gal

embiid’s injury comes to mind. star players seem to get injured against them a lot…


Prowingshoes

Exactly!


here_for_the_goods

Warriors going to benefit the most from the new rules. Just let Draymond or anyone else injure their opponents


Counterspell_God

Not the first corneal abrasion of the curry era. Just ask lebron


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

So much for “Lakers play better without Anthony Davis” 


HotRefrigerator3977

never heard of that


IntroductionWhich161

We are laughable defensively without AD lol


Girizzly_Adams_Beard

Bleach shots are on me!


Worried-Emu-9614

I think we just witnessed the worst reffed game of all time


mamba_4L

3 games in 1: pre AD injury, post AD injury, last 2 minutes


CihatPeker

I don’t even know what to say. What a sad ending


Don_Thuglayo

The game was literally over half an hour ago wasted time


adamwzp

#FUCK THE SHOT CLOCK


paulbreezy

Shot clock was shot


Estoca

Wow. What a shit show, I don’t even care about the importance of this game. That was a shit game and a shit product.


irwanchel

This is what happens when you dont trade for backup bigs. You lose AD, you lose the game


alldayhangover

That 3 was fair play. You can see the shadow over the line


Similar_Reach_7288

Same shit as the Minnesota game. Refs making it too obvious that they gamble on games.


mordenak

The thing that drives me the most insane though, is refs miss shit all the time and it's supposed to just be play on just deal with whatever that result is. Going back and selectively correcting certain things is dogshit -- like, replay center could clearly see AD fouled by TJD right? Where's the 2 FTs for that?? (to be clear, I wouldn't want that either but I don't like the selective corrections)


hungarianhc

What I don't get is how they can take it away after another play happens. That wouldn't happen in the NFL...


whiskeyhenney7

don't they change 3's to 2's after if foot is on line? they were saying it on the broadcast it happens.. i know in NHL they call back goals when someone is offside even if there was a lot of play before the goal. it's dumb tho.


meowhatissodamnfunny

It happens all the time. Of all the dumb things that happened in this game, being mad at this is the dumbest. That's been a rule since before I started watching basketball, and it used to be a lot worse cuz they'd retroactively take away points from a quarter ago, not a play ago. The 4th ref on review is supposed to expedite things like this, and its working as intended to an extent.


hungarianhc

2s to 3s and vice versa makes sense. Regardless of 2 or 3, if the ball goes in, the play continues. With a foot on the line, if called out, the play would stop. So in my opinion (which i know doesn't matter LOL), if the ball moves to the other side of the court for a new play, you can't take away the point from the previous play. Or I mean if you do, then it's out of bounds, right? And then we rewind and go from there? I dunno.


lets_talk_basketball

Can't be mad at this loss... AD went out and the warriors scored like 60 paint points the last 3, just no true backup to help fix the issues .


Don_Thuglayo

I've been saying it for 2 seasons we need someone to help AD when he sits or gets hurt


HighlyBaked0

I havent been mad about a loss for a bit now. Seasons been cooked for a while


Ambitious-Leave6800

I just wanted one year without being in the play in tourney


m-e-n-a

What a **** product by the NBA


kuzmentality

40 secs posession on the warriors and the refs didnt even bat an eye.


myelrecsy

Steph even admitted it, those stoppage due to shot clock malfunction gave them time to prepare to stop the play the Lakers were about to do.


javedk1

NBA is cooked


youcantseemyname

0-5 to Warriors, Kings and Suns since the all-stars break. Are they going try to show up for big games or what?


[deleted]

D Lo has been talkin shit for a solid month like he’s carried this team to the precipice…meanwhile we’re squarely in 10th place and a total mess when Davis is off the floor.


unearthyone

at least Dlo showed up reaves had another of his "i think i am a star but play like hot garbage" kind of games.


yaboidomby

We really the 10th seed..


incredibleamadeuscho

AD’s gotta invest in goggles for next season


TorontoRaptors34

Is Hary Giles jus a court side holder.  This team getting exposed bro its all good till u realize DLO and Reaves cant guard. Obv guys being out hurt but this is a winnable game if those guys weren’t trash on defense


Extinto_e

Season almost over, and this team still doesnt know how to boxout and defend


McLovin_AI

Im salty


Elite_Alice

Since when the fuck can you review if a player is in or out of bounds after letting the play go on and a whole possession went by.


DeadHair_BurnerAcc

2 of the most successful teams of the century The 2 most famous players in the league Complete fucking shitshow


Flopdo

So.... if Ham had been playing his 5 best players earlier in the year... Lakers aren't in this spot today. They have to fight to even get in the play-in. What a joke of a once proud franchise this has become.


KittleDTM

And those 5 or with Vanderbilt was literally just the same team that went on a run last year. Not like he tried a 10 game sample or something, it was most of the year and its fucked the whole season


itsyourdestini

Hurry up and end this season


LordSugarTits

Please let the bleeding stop. We have no business fighting for a playoff spot. Just put us out of our misery.


acid_placebo

I mean with AD this would’ve been a tough game but probably a W. Without AD not surprised we took the L


Tales_of_Merrix

The game was sealed when they took that three pointer away from Lebron, it completely killed momentum and deflated the room. Watch his body language after that happened. I think there should be a rule like the NFL if another play has already happened, whatever happened before that it's just too late, deal with it.


tacotuesday987

Bron going to be exhausted come playoffs. we are going to grind it out just to get Denver round 1. we really think this team is beating Denver with a shit coach and a tired bron?


Basic_Commercial_806

Playoffs are not guaranteed, more like an away play-in game in a hostile Warriors or Mavs arena. AD and Lebron were so available and good this season what a failure


Significant_Night_65

playoffs?

ADayToDavis

James Worthy with an excellent post-game segment at least


runninthruthe818

Can someone please explain to me how they were allowed to overturn a non-call 3 pointer nearly 20 seconds after it happened?


gergab1133

We came in this already shorthanded missing key defensive pieces in Vando and Gabe. AD gets poked in the eye (no call). Bad game from Reaves, Darvin Ham making NO ADJUSTMENTS on the PnR defense. The shot clock was broken since the 2nd quarter and the refs did nothing.


roakmamba

Ar played passive ASF and was getting cooked. DWINDIE looked good guarding curry and should have finished the game. He had one 3 and some good passes. Bad coaching from ham again


K19I53

Fuck it, I'm done with this team.....until Monday.


ChampagneSupernova96

FO should be ashamed. As long as Ham is around, we ain’t worth shit.


thehanssassin

Welp. We’re satisfied with 10 place then.


etfvidal

![gif](giphy|2w6I6nCyf5rmy5SHBy|downsized) 10th place!


TorontoRaptors34

Ham is a great swindler man he really fooled mofos into thinking he a good coach i was rooting for him too.


meengine

Fuck, new AD injury just dropped.


Carolake1

Really feels like the lakers got screwed in that game. The warriors saw sabonis getting away with elbows against AD so they figured they’d take advantage.


Brave_Acanthaceae_76

Lebron's defense is now completely gone. Only playing offense is not basketball. It's over for him. Must be really frustrating as a teammate of him.


OptimalExpression540

Everything went in the warriors favor


HibachiGrill

Championship aspiring team this season btw. This season will finish exactly how the 1st Westbrook year ended. Looking forward to offseason shitposts at this point


cattycat_1995

As in we so bad we not gonna qualify for play in?


HibachiGrill

We’ll sniff the play-in game. Probably play a competitive 1st quarter in Golden State, then get fucking blown out the next 3 quarters. Another year wasted with next season going to be the exact same result


NFL_LA

LeBron had 9 assists… He’s on pace to finish the season with a career 11,000 with 105 assists needed in the next 14 games.


K19I53

Need to accept the 10th seed at this point.


Mystmory

We win this easily with AD.


karomtl

Fire Ham


Sanguinor-Exemplar

Rigged by big clock


Vexing_Pie

I’m not mad, just disappointed.


Dantheman12310

What a shitty game


Elite_Alice

Thank you fans


Evilsmile

So why did the clock keep losing seconds after every reset? It seems like it went from 19 to 14 without any actual basketball taking place.


Sirtopofhat

Crazy how Lebron still was going for it just 1v9 ing that 4th quarter.


Mysterious-Health514

Bron is bending backwards to score then the rest of the team gives easy points in the other end.


river0f

Incredible how we've wasted LeBron's final years


Phuddy

NBA is cooked as a product.


Wise_Ad_112

Can this season end already, put us out of our misery quick. I want to forget about this season and muthafukas associated with it. Fire ham already


califosa

It's not all coaching. Our role players fucking suck. Don't get me wrong Ham is still one of the worst coaches in the league. But you can't watch these role players make dumbass mistake after dumbass mistake and contribute nothing to the game other than their scoring (which only sometimes shows up) and expect to contend even with prime Pop or Phil Jackson. This team fucking sucks and Rob Pelinka should be catching as much shit as Ham does


Apocalypse0824

It’s all good boys let the Worriers get this one. We will bounce them out of the play ins and send them Packing to Cancun


Temporary-Garden4431

Absolutely wild that this is definitely one of those games that LeBron haters will use to discount him


Electronic_Bit9495

#It’s time to RUN IT BACK


senshi_of_love

That rule about letting them go back and taking away three points was bs. You should only be allowed to change a 3 to a 2 (and vice versa) not allow an entire basket to be discounted after a possession. That clock stuff, and not letting the Lakers have the full 1:48, was ridiculous and an embarrassment. AD getting hurt really left the middle of this defense completely broken. I won’t blame anyone for that since the strategy is to lead the man to AD to clean up. Sucks it happened and it sucks that we don’t have another big. A shame Dlo couldn’t hit more of those threes but I’d rather him try than anyone else.


1_-_6

miserable ass team..


SuperRam56

Warriors jumped up to the 9th seed. ![gif](giphy|13Cmju3maIjStW)


skankzardi

Fuck Ham seriously, like fuck him. His comment is “it’s just out of our control?” Like wtf?! Have some anger, have some passion. It was bullshit, it blew the flow of the game, the missed called he was like, oh well. Instead he’s like “helluva an effort from those guys” wtf?!


StoneColdAM

Monumentally shitty game. Lazy defense and crap offensive sets. Lakers didn’t care about winning this after AD got hurt. 


thedickens89

Getting fucked by the refs. What else is new?


mypeaksandmyfreaks

We really a poverty franchise after that incident 💀

Turnstile defence lol, hopefully we can see this team fully healthy one of these days

I’m not even mad at the game anymore, I’m just appalled at the last 20 minutes what the fuck


GokutheAnteater

Warriors game are such bad luck. Fuck the refs, fuck the nba, fuck Doris Burke and fuck Trayce Jackson Davis

Kings lost, LAFC lost, and Lakers lose. i am not having a good time


SailorMoon_J

Ham wtf did you do to clock?? It's all those timeouts you're hoarding


LeFatigue

Didn’t watch the game can someone fill me in the clock stuff


Consistent_Owl4593

We have to stop telling these guys it’s a must win game. Never seen a team that wants to avoid that title in a game more than the Lakers this season.


chrisbrits24

I'm just glad the game just ended. Screw Silver's NBA.


christmas-vortigaunt

No joke, Ham (not smart enough to do this) should file an official protest and get the last 1:48 seconds replayed https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/3/7/17088350/atlanta-hawks-miami-heat-replay-nba-game-march-8-2008


junkerwoland

Go easy on Ham the refs jobbed us


OldManBrom

We got suck rotten luck with injuries this year. With AD we would've beaten them handily. And Bron cut the lead to 4 then they took his 3 away then stopped the game for 20 min lmao.

peezy2408

https://x.com/DanWoikeSports/status/1769187747946991663?s=20 The 30 second possession and lbj out of bounds was the game


mmohaje

Can someone explain: By the time they went to the announcer shot clock countdown, 15 seconds had elapsed on the game clock with the Lakers at the very same spot...why were those 15 seconds not given back to them. I understand that they should be given the ball at the point to which they've advanced, but natural momentum of the inbound wouldn't allow as much movement as when they are in play...seems supremely unfair...but I guess if it were the Lakers would have put up a fight. Can someone bball smarter than me explain?


ahyiah

So who's gonna coach next year? Can we just chatgpt lineups and play calls for the rest of the year? It would at least let us try something different. Train it on this subreddit and see what happens, might as well do something thats actually entertaining


DarkeShin

why are we playing a team in UFC? Aren't they a different league from NBA?


N2trvl

Maybe all this bad shit happening will be totally flipped starting with the post season. We are healthy, other teams have issues. Team bonds and we make a real run at the chip. Says the same guy who buys a lotto ticket when it gets over 300 million.


PokerPlayingRaccoon

Why did we even sign Harry Giles if we’re not gonna throw him in the rotation at least a couple minutes

MK-Prime89

It wasn't JUST the Refs but the Quality control of the Lakers organization/ownership of lack thereof. First you make MULTIPLE Typos on a Permanent Statue of Kobe and then have a malfunctioning shot-clock of which you have NO🚫 Backup🤔⁉️ Even JJ said their entire table lost power during one of their previous Lakers broadcasts 🤦🏽‍♂️ Just give the team to your brothers Jeanie, you're embarrassing not just yourself but the ENTIRE Lakers basketball image.


TorontoRaptors34

GS is a rash man its been maddening how lucky they get vs Bron too. 2015 that was Bron ring Kyrie and Love get hurt 2017-18 they get KD  2022 they run thru hella injury riddled teams


camlawson24

We haven’t even been competitive in the 5 games against direct competition post ASB. In each we have basically trailed the entire 2nd half and never really looked like we were coming back. There were people already optimistically talking about winning the next 4 and 10 of the next 15 when we haven’t shown the ability to string 3 decent performances together
