    when they admit that foul on hardaway, it will be pretty hollow.

    Yeah I knew they weren’t going to admit it. Be interesting to see them go through and entire game film and confirm which fouls they miss for LeBron when he drives to the hoop though, to have to see them admit how much they miss would be fun.

    Trash. Anyone not named Troy Brown and that would have been a foul call with three free throws. This is actually a problem though - we won't get calls like that with such lesser knowns as we have on our roster taking that shot. If that had been Bogdanovic or Hield taking it, that would have been called a foul as it should have been in this case. Another reason to make a trade for a starting level player.

    Among the SEVEN CALLS the NBA admits the refs got wrong, one was Lebron's FGA at 2.9 left in the first OT: he was fouled; they didn't call it.

    From SOURCE: “No, it's a f---ing foul,”James said, per McMenamin. “It’s a foul. No matter what [Brown] says, it’s a f---ing foul. That s--- is blatant, and they should have called it.”

    Mark Cuban was pissed at the refs too, saying Luka gets no respect. Dude had a 60/21/10 game on Dec.28th. Imagine what his numbers would've been if he was "respected." (Sarcasm emoji)

    What's the record for missed calls in a game, late, as admitted by the league? I'd think 7 would be way up on the list.

    Lakers missed 10 FTs and let Doncic shoot a 3 up 3 with 11 seconds left in regulation.

    Bad (and depleted now) teams have a habit to give away games they should win

    Pacers , C Bags , Sixers (despite being a huge comeback , FTs were missed down the strectch) , Mavs and so on .


    Lebron age and mileage are really showing in the clutch , his numbers have to be horrible

    Lebron has always done this in the clutch. It's not the age thing.

    I do. I've just never been a fan of Lebron, AD or Russ. Or maybe, it just hasn't been the same since Kobe passed. Who knows.

    Losing all these close games without AD, but yeah we do not need any sort of roster upgrade. Shame on this front office.

    these 2 losses down the wire really stung.

    really disappointed with Ham's lack of coaching.

    the next 4 games now are must wins, before we play Clippers and C Bags

    I used to think these past few Lakers seasons were a tragedy, now I realize it’s a comedy!

    Everyone knew Russ was about to blow it except Ham. Gotta call a timeout there.

    Glad lebron didn't take the last shot. He's probably having the same feeling of what fans go thru when he takes his patnant step back 3 pt clanker as time expires.

    Man what a waste of a great LeBron game and honestly a great Russ game until that last shot as well. Wish the FO would get off their a**es and get these guys some help, they’re competing their a**es off but just aren’t talented enough.
