Did you even read the article?

"The Los Angeles Lakers have presented a case to the NBA that LeBron James is not getting enough foul calls, according to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times. Statistically speaking, the Lakers have a legitimate argument. Through three games, James has attempted only 10 free throws. In Tuesday's Game 3 loss, he had only two attempts after a flagrant foul by Jamal Murray. "

They have a point...

Its 3 games though.

A point about what? Sounds to me that they are lobbying the league for more free-throws. Boo hoo cry me a river, earn the victory w/o help from the refs.

Preach it Skip!

Haha of course Herro goes one pick after the Hornets drafted PJ Washington

But the League wants them to succeed don't you know, it's "rigged"

LAL 29 Den 23

Murray has made some of the most acrobatic layups I’ve ever seen. Wow.

If the Nuggets win this series, and we get a Heat vs. Nuggets NBA Finals, then ESPN and the NBA are going to be upset.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Nuggets once again just hanging around.

The Refs picking their spots. Lakers in the bonus with over 8 minutes to go and Jokic with 5 fouls.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Oh boy, Anthony Davis just sprained his ankle.

Edit: Staying in the game but clearly not looking right.

Oh hell yeah. They've wanted Celtics/Lakers so bad they could taste it

Some of these Murray shots are ridiculous.

Malone might’ve left Plumlee in for too long after they cut it to one. Lakers kept doubling Murray and forcing Plumlee to make plays, which he can’t do.

 

[Stylizer1]

For those who don't know, what Murray is doing tonight is what Micheal Jordan did throughout his career.


Murray is exciting to watch.

 

[These Are The Days]

Oh boy, Anthony Davis just sprained his ankle.

Damn how far behind is my stream?

 

[A1LeafNation]

AD ya big baby

 

[Bounces R Way]

Murray has had some silky finishes in this game. Gotta hit some big shots here.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Ankle looks fine to me..

 

[These Are The Days]

Thank you. That "foul" was absolute horse shit.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Shut up lePippen

 

[Avs_19]

That was a soft call but you can’t reverse that after the BS that’s getting called against the Nuggets.

Murray should've had a free throw but that's none of our business. Gotta get the Lakers back to the promised land at all costs

 

[FunkyPhin]

The Reffing against the Nuggests this game has been horrendous

 

[Jack Straw]

Nuggets have to stop with the turnovers

 

[A1LeafNation]

Unfortunately only a matter of time before Joker and Millsap foul out.

Lakers can't run with the Nuggets, look old and slow.
