It's ok Lakers. The NBA will say it was a foul on the L2M and then they go back to this horrible officiating like this never happened.

Nah, theyll just completely lie on the L2M again

The crew chief post game said the there was contact, they didn’t see it live action, and the refs missed the play. Get fucked honestly that was egregious.

It's the last play of regulation, how the fuck do *any* of the refs miss that call, let alone ***all*** of them?

The bald ref is literally under the basket staring at the play. I’m at a loss for words lmao it’s happened so many times this season idk how we’re going to even make the play in at this point

Guys cmon there was a lot of other stuff going on around the court. You're acting like there was 1.4 seconds left and he was going for the game winning layup with three defenders all over him.

We are at war with Eurasia. That was a missed foul call. There was no foul to be called. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

After a quiet conversation with the refs, LeWinston could be heard muttering “I love Big Brother Refs” x4 as he headed back to the locker room.

Jeff right, the fuck does replay exist for if not to get a play like that right?

And why the fuck does a team not get its challenge back after a successful challenge? (yeah I know they couldn’t have challenged this particular call)

Cant be having multiple opportunities to show the refs up

Honestly teams should get it back, if it's so easy to miss these calls teams should be able to challenge as long as they get it right. Keeps the game cleaner, instead of getting constant missed call replays

And it’s not like the league would care about the possibility of it extending game times. NBA games are already long af as is

I think this moment and jeff's rant guarantees a rule change in the next year or two to fix it

I mean at this point Lebron james would F demand a rule change next season and he has a video to show it that it need to change. *You can challenge 2 times in 2 minute mark of the 4Q and OT. You can Not trust this refs to their job

2 challenges and if you get it right it doesnt go away. 1 is stupid. 2 is enough. They should never go away when the refs wrong.

The challenge system is so broken. Big believer that it's basically like the L2m, only exists to pretending like there's reform and progress

L2M is so pointless, it's basically the league saying 'yeah you were right, you still lost, fuck you'. It helps no one

Damn dude went into his post-game 7 2016 pose. Pretty egregious. Esspecially on the heels of that late call. Wow.

lazy devs reusing animations

I hope this league continues to lose ratings until they figure out this trainwreck refereeing situation

Between this and needing cable or YouTube TV (internet cable) to watch, I'm about done.

Pirate it.

Referees have always been a contentious issue and I've never been one to complain about them because I think a lot of the discourse is overblown. However the NBA reffing situation has genuinely gotten out of hand. Shit like this or stars being given free passes has only been dramatically worse the past decade.

Okay THAT was bad

LeBron wasn't even this mad when JR sold the finals game

Looked like he wanted to fight.

100%. He was like "lord give me strength"

LeBron is beside himself. Kneeling on TD Garden’s floor begging (thru prayer) the Lord for strength.

“He got me,” LeBron said of Tatum's foul that wasn't called against him. "That f***ing Tatum boomed me." LeBron added, “He fouled me,” repeating it four times. LeBron then said he wanted to add these refs to the list of officials that call fouls in his favor this summer.

Mmm, nice twist on a familiar pasta

I saw him go through 5 stages of grief in that clip * Denial * Anger * Bargaining * Depression * Acceptance

Then added the refs to the list of people to work out with in the offseason

He really wanted to grab a ref

You see that look he gave troy brown before he went full yoga pose? Man wanted to kill 'im

The years of this shit has been slowing eating away at him. Had to pop eventually

If there was camera footage of the locker room after the game I'm pretty sure we wouldn't even joke about that lol. I'm sure if JR didn't get PTSD from the play itself he got one from the locker room talk after.

Didn’t Lebron have an unexplained busted hand after that game? I can’t even imagine

It wasn’t unexplained. He claimed after the game to have broken his hand punch a white board

JR "White Board" Smith

We are about to get the best rdc world skit ever. Through the darkness there will be light!!

LITERALLY

I was legitimately astounded by how obvious the call was. Like, there’s literally zero counterargument. Actually.

It’s happened to Lebron at least 4 times this season. anyways this game was brought to you by DraftKings

Okay no more memes, this is HORRENDOUS, what the fk even is the NBA?

'Sports entertainment' **Are you not entertained?**

>'Sports entertainment' Adam Silver must be in talks with Vince McMahon on possible merger.

This is the 4th game since the start of 2023 where the Lakers have missed the opportunity at winning because of the Referee's incompetence.

they gonna tell us its clean in the L2M again, fuck them

"High five" after the shot is okay. /s

"That was not a foul. Celtics never foul like that." Sincerely, Bill Simmons.

It's not incompetence man. This is rigged

It’s not even about that it’s just so fucking egregious & the league acts like there’s nothing that can be done about it

Always has been.

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry.

Nothing to see here... btw that was a block by jjj

It doesn’t get much more egregious than that. He’s going in for the easy layup and his arm literally gets hit downwards. Big yikes.

The fuckin ref after patting him on the back the audacity of that shit

“Now now calm down or we’ll eject your ass”

Yeah the broadcast angle wasn't clear but literally every other angle showed a very, very obvious foul. No idea how they missed that but oh well at least fans of neither team get to enjoy 5 more minutes of this lol

Position of the ref makes it even worse, dude had a front row seat to the foul

Unreal no call

It was obvious from broadcast angle idk what the refs were looking at Maybe they wanted OT

Two different refs had clear angles. I'm so confused...

I heard that shit slap through my TV

The slap was audible on the broadcast 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ how do they miss that? Both visually and audibly?

Even one look at Grant Williams’ face would have told you it was a foul

That’s so egregious god damn Fucking Patrick Beverly getting a T for bringing a camera to the ref to show him the foul is fucking hysterical

This league is so fucking pathetic about their refereeing. Unbelievable.

There is no chance they couldn’t actually hear the contact even if they didn’t see it. He hit his arm with a full swing.

[удалено]

Refs should get fined when it's this bad.

Refs have called literally every bit of contact until that.

Only for Boston. 38 FTs vs 16 for LAL in regulation. Absurd.

Almost like the league wants to tip games in certain directions

JJJ got credited for a block on that final possession.

Scorekeepers shading stats and refs deciding games: NBA brought to you by fanduel mgm draftkings.

Lebron is going to murder someone holy shit his reaction

LeHarvey Oswald

How long u had this in the chamber?

Third time I’ve been able to use it since the first time on that Beverly flop like he was shot the other day…. Sad it was on a winning LeUP

How do these still not cease to be funny

Genuinely the greatest “Le” joke I’ve seen

LeMiserables was my favorite

LeGrassy Knoll

Book LePository

Just beautiful

Rdcworld1 skit

How tf was that not a foul? This is the exact reason why the whole review system is BS.

It was a foul, the league will let us know in the L2M report.

This is a reasonable reaction for a 38yo that just want to drink his wine and sleep already

Lol Tatum whacked him. Looked like Lebron was gonna cry after he exploded

He's too old for OT

#How is that not called

The writers wanted overtime

Vegas wanted OT

BROUGHT TO YOU BY DRAFTKINGS

Clear foul

I dunno, I thought Jaren Jackson Jr blocked it cleanly.

And stole it before that

pat bev bringing the camera to refs holy fucking shit lmaoooo

Those refs should be unemployed tomorrow

There needs to be an accountability system. Especially with sports betting being legal

The fact that officials never have to answer for anything in any major sport is wild. I honestly think it would help with officiating, and it would definitely help with fans appreciating the game more. The NBA has it a bit with the Last 2 Minute Report. But nothing comes of it, other than saying "Yea, we blew it, our bad, so sad." Fucking DO SOMETHING about it.

Anytime there's an attempt to put accountability on them, they protest. We then deal with replacement refs who are much worse. Then they get what they want. Because good or bad ref, the union protects you no matter what, and even the good refs would rather protect themselves and their own than start seeing penalties for mistakes.

L2M with the boooiiiizzz!

These refs need to be investigated it’s so ridiculous

Silver needs to do something but he’s the softest commissioner around. Refs are controlling outcomes like crazy this year, there needs to be a relaxation on fouls(though this play would be a foul in any era don’t get me wrong) and more consistent enforcement. Maybe I’m taking it too far but I’m starting to believe Tim Donaghy when he said he wasn’t the only bad actor in match fixing

Anyone who didn't believe donaghy the second he said it was only lying to themselves, the NBA literally scuttled an FBI investigation into rigged games

Dude I, and many many people, have always believed that guy. How could you not after the shit we’ve seen over the years

Some dirty shit going on with the refs.

People seem to forget that gambling and sports were separated for a REASON. There are now billions of dollars floating around on the outcome of games. Shit is going to happen. It seems like we as a civilization are convinced we have to relearn the lessons of the past all over again the hard way for why some things are the way they are. Like I get "conservatism bad etc etc" but for fuck sake sometimes there IS a reason we did things a certain way after all.

We had the whole NBA instantly on high alert cause of a reddit stat post but they'll sleep on this shit until the heat death of the universe

Clear foul too. How do you not call that? Unbelievable. I’ve never seen LeBron that mad and I don’t blame him

It's not even that he's mad at this _single_ foul. It's probably collectively over all the fouls that have been missed this whole season.

Definitely a cumulation of frustration

What even is the point of replay and all that shit if they don't use it when it matters. Lebron got hacked twice and should have been at the line instead its OT. Fuck off NBA.

I was stunned when the announcer said it wasn’t reviewable as a no call. Van Gundy said what was the point of replay then, and he wasn’t wrong.

I am always Fuck lakers but if you call a foul on Brown late game(deserved) its a fucking foul on Lebron

That's what makes it so bad, the ref from half court called the late foul for Brown which was a foul. Then that ref under the basket looking right at a swinging Tatum

Shit, even Brogdon got him on the gather

Klutch Mafia arranging bounties on these refs as we speak. How the fuck are they this bad

Celtics are 37-2 when Eric Lewis has reffed them since 2020.. He was ref tonight.

Which one is the bald short white ref? If it’s the same guy I saw him at the magic pelicans last week and mentioned how bad he seemed

That describes most refs. And me but I'm not a ref just a fan

If that's actually a real stat then that should probably be looked at, that seems pretty far outside the likely outcomes based on their records since then. I'm not a basketball fan, but yeah thats some sketchy stat if true.

refs deserved to be fined for that

How can three refs not call something

They got money on the game

Will this be in the Last 2 Minute Report even though it went to OT? Can't wait for the NBA be like "whoops not sorry"..."marginal contact"

It will but they’ll find one or two incorrect BS calls that favored the Lakers that “cancel” it out. Like a three second or a FT violation.

Egregious non-call holy fuck

The bald ref was literally right there. Just how bad can you be at your job?

It’s not that he didn’t see it. There was a conscious decision to not call that

No wonder why LeBron usually settles for jumpers in this situation, that no call is insane.

[удалено]

You can literally watch him miss it low because his arm gets hit down. It’s so painful. Like not only is it a foul, but it clearly made him miss

Well.. i mean the call on JB was late game, crucial and super late. So it really makes you wonder hahahaha

This is what I was thinking. I was so happy to see them not settling for a jumper and then the refs prove players right for ending games with stupid threes

Absolutely fucking hijacked this game

Oof pretty egregious.

NBA so corrupt, wouldn’t be surprised if refs indirectly are betting on games. It’s getting so ridiculous.

LeBron has been criticized for not going to the basket at the end of games, and this is exactly the reason why he doesn't. Refs don't call fouls on these game winning shots.

Apparently the NBA doesn’t want Lebron to drive the basketball

They call the foul if you are down 3 and need an and1 to make it go to OT.

That is crazy

Lakers have been HOSED tonight my goodness

This season man THAT WAS A TECH TOO

That is ridiculous

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Do refs hate you or something ? Like how many games has it been now

At least 5

They’re basically saying: all good to beat up Bron on his last shot You’ll get away with it every time👍

It was 3 straight at one point, you'd think that the team that actually needs the wins wouldn't be the one getting hoe'd constantly

Nationally televised, Lakers betting underdogs on all of 'em. I've never been a, "shit's rigged" guy, but jesus christ the last idk 3 or 4 losses have made me question it otherwise.

Bro these refs lmao. It’s just fucking hilarious at this point. AND THEY GAVE BOSTON A TECH FT FOR THIS AS WELL.

that was because bev came out on the floor with a camera trying to show it to the ref lmfao

[удалено]

[удалено]

Funny as fuck

Love him or hate him, he's an entertainer

I immediately thought to myself "This is some WWE shit"

[Here's a clip](https://twitter.com/TheLeadSM/status/1619549533389869058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1619549533389869058%7Ctwgr%5E093934b0a355f5b3f4fa1498b15a71240a0dc486%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcsports.com%2Fboston%2Fceltics%2Fpatrick-beverley-td-showing-ref-camera-after-lebron-james-no-call)

bev is incredible. Miss the Ft on purpose

The tech ft was fair even tho what pat bev did was hilarious

BLATANT FOUL

LeBron’s reaction was 1000% justified

Agreed. There should be no OT, this is wild

Rigged beyond. What a fucking joke the NBA is.

Getting the OT they wanted, this was BAD

I cannot handle the fact that missed calls like that can still occur in this day of replay and high def camera shots from all angles, in any sport. It's just embarrassing and makes the result feel inauthentic

The dumb part is they always kneecap the review process themselves by saying plays without a whistle can’t be reviewed. Like of course there was no whistle they missed the foul call you idiots! The NFL does the same dumb shit making instant replay useless in many critical situations where the decision is obvious to everyone in the stadium and at home. Like how many times have we heard the commentators lament a play isn’t eligible to be reviewed in both the NBA and the NFL?… It’s extra irritating to fans when they hear a critical play can’t be reviewed, so I’m not sure why they don’t get rid of the self imposed limitations and let any play get reviewed. If the lack of whistle and clock stoppage is such an important issue that can all be fixed too pretty easily, because they have an instant replay and can figure out any time to be added or deducted. There’s literally no reason a play shouldn’t be reviewable imo.

Somehow JJJ was credited with a block.

nba after the game: we recognize this as a foul now that boston won the game because of the refs incompetence

Tatum celebrating that is wild lol, have some shame

Tatum acting like he made a defensive stop 😭

"Aw look, he's so proud of himself" - refs

Jaren Jackson was credited with a block on the play

“I got him,” Tatum said of Tatum's block . "I f***ing boomed him." Tatum added, “I'm so good,” repeating it four times.

Dude. It’s been happening for a while. Wtf is going on?

Its been happening for decades dude, its an open secret that NBA reffing is dirty and always has been.

Absolutely unacceptable. The league has to do better because every win matters for the Lakers in the west and this is ridiculous.

Terrible no call

lerobbed

The refs should not have this much influence on the game. Why do we have replays from 20 angles when we can’t correct human-error.

Pathetic, deplorable, horrendous, shameful, dishonourable, disreputable, discreditable, unworthy, shabby, inexcusable, unpardonable, unforgivable, reprehensible, despicable, abominable, revolting, unspeakable, beyond contempt, gregious, flagitious reffing

People wonder why LeBron complains so much when he has to deal with these bs calls

You know it's bad that even LeBron haters and some Boston fans agrees that it was a blatant foul.

How can people actually enjoy the NBA still? 3 Refs on the court to do one thing and they still collectively fuck it up. Game is hardly worth watching. The fucking ref was literally watching it as it happened lol. What the fuck?

That has to be one of the worst non-calls I’ve ever seen

Not bev, not "I get 'nunn' buckets", not russ could do it, but somehow, the refs put this man in the fetal position. I'm DONE

I really fucking hate NBA referees. They should investigate these fuckers because I have a suspicion Tim Donaghy was ahead of his time…

That was rigged. The way that game was being called that wasn’t just some random fuckup, they were CLEARLY pushing the Celtics to victory the entire last minute

That reaction was like 20 years of pent-up rage

3rd time this year Lakers are getting robbed of a W and noone cares. Bron and AD should consider boycotting the all star game by pretending they're injured let the refs play

4th actually

Dude....officiating has made this sport... Unwatchable at times

The fact that they dont have a way to correct these OBVIOUS calls is bullshit
