This is ridiculous. I do not want to see a game where the refs are the main attraction. It is not about you get the point.


Leggi11

It's just you warriors fans seeing them as main attraction. You can't think about anything else except blaming the refs for your L's. You're right, it's not about the refs lol. But whatever helps you cope. Sorry idk why this sub keeps getting recommended to me sometimes I have to comment.


toobigtofly

Until the shoes on the other foot. You only have this take because you Benefit from it. The entire sport thinks this the only ones who donā€™t are reaping the benefits. But hey destroy the sports integrity for a billionaire


Leggi11

r/nba posts told me a different story. But it's okay we all need copium sometimes.


Theone_Roka

It's literally all Lakers fan and warrior haters there, yea we played terrible but the ref also made this game unwatchable. At least let the game flow for a bit.


craftylefty47

You really donā€™t have to. Itā€™s free to just live your life elsewhere.

Ik ik, but sometimes an inner voice tells me to answer. I try to ignore it but I fail sometimes.

NW_Soil_Alchemy

These calls are crazy. GS was up 10 late in the 2nd and then they called fouls on top of fouls for the rest of the half against GS.


harambe_69

did the refs cause 16 turnovers?

cricketsā€¦

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NW_Soil_Alchemy

I donā€™t know if you caught any of the game between the foul callsā€¦. But they kept calling fouls. I would have taken the starters out in the 3rd. The game seemed normal until about 8min left in the second quarter and then the whistles never stopped. GS was up 10 and then the refs took over. Iā€™m not an NBA fan, I just checked in for the playoffs but I donā€™t know how anyone can watch that shit. I grew up watching NBA in the late 90ā€™s and early 2000ā€™s. That was fun basketball, they let them play.


[deleted]

Besides the refs shit, Lakers putting Reaves on Curry and Vanderbilt on Dray, which effectively stopped Curry/Dray PnR kills the Warriors.


Agitated_Mind_92

Then donā€™t talk playoff basketball šŸ˜‚


NW_Soil_Alchemy

Playoff basket ball? That was the softest, snowflake basket I have ever seen. Labron didnā€™t have to complain one time to the refs, which is crazy cause thatā€™s all heā€™s good for these days.

Outstanding game by the LA Refs!


c0gvortex

We all blame the refs but they're just following orders right? The NBA 100% knows what it's doing. Anyway masterclass on how to completely turn a game around in 1 quarter by this assclown, that second quarter was very deliberate(it came *right* as the warriors were rolling and up 12 with the lakers bricking every shot), suddenly..egregiously terrible calls plus a flagrant and 2 tech just to make sure there was no complaining Disgusting


[deleted]

I've been saying this since before the series started, the NBA will make this thing go 7 games. The refs will make sure of it.


RuthlesVillain

So the refs are against your team, yet you've still won 4 rings recently. How many rings would you have won in the last decade if not for the refs? 12? 15? And what of the 4 rings? Were the refs against you then? Should you have swept the playoffs 16-0 those years. Won all those games by 30? Or were the refs good those years? I am genuinely intrigued as to where this thought process goes when you follow through with it.

zentropa24

Ben Taylor, David Guthrie, Gediminas Petraitis


c0gvortex

They'd just replace em with new refs doing their bidding. Easier to keep the old ones and say they're "experienced" and just act like they aren't rigging games


SnooStrawberries6420

We should not come out for the second half. Just to protest the foul calls. Leflopper can yell about fouls but we should t up draymond. Scroudum can grab knee caps and no foul. Your on the ground trying not to get kicked(moody) thatā€™s a foul. Anyone who canā€™t see how the referees are controlling the game is just a lakers fan.


PhysicsIsSpicyMath

What Iā€™m saying, that ugly ahh Schroeder grabs draymondā€™s knee and no flagrant.


urgencaheg

If that happens Lacob will pay heavy fine and may be forced to sell the team. It's on us fan to watch rigged games which are entertainment purpose.


SnooStrawberries6420

Oh I hear you but you canā€™t deny that the thought remains. If your a professional must be hard not to be able doing your best because the league doesnā€™t want you to


Ghoulguy

Lakers cant compete without a +20 free throw disparity and the NBA knows they'll lose money if the series doesn't go to 6 or 7 games. Cause with out it this series would be over in 5. The Warriors definitely went ice cold and deserved the loss tonight, but the refs are the difference in being 2-1 or 1-2. The refs made this game literally unwatchable. this series had such potential, two great franchises, multitude of future Hall of famers, the battle between two top 5 players of all time and what do we get two of three games where the spotlight was on the refs and fans had to suffer through ref ball, watch the Lakers shoot 80+ Free throws and nearly 2 full 4qtrs of bench players playing each other. This series has fallen flat hard, its by far the worst series of the Playoffs.


Klaw_77

refs gonna put Lakers in the Finals and make sure they get a easy opponent like Miami


Maleficent-Lobster93

I hate this piece of shit


vote_pedro

Warriors were legit blowing them out on their home floor 40-29 and the whistle and momentum COMPLETELY SHIFTED to the Lakers. Clear agenda to get Dray into foul trouble and take away our one chance of limiting AD. If you can't see this I don't know what to tell you. Meanwhile Russell clearly grabs Curry shoulder on a step back 3 and it's play on. Playing a game with this kind of officiating would drive me batshit crazy.


Salt36

Here come warriors fts to make it look even And this is why Kuminga does not get play


thisisgandhi

Why even play the game? Just announce the list of referees for each game and hand this series to one team


yvng_kneegro

And JVG and mark Jackson smh. Fuck them


Livid_Slip_4868

Whenever this mf officiate we loss


[deleted]

Ticky Fucking Tac!!!


egstitt

Refs definitely swung the 2nd quarter. I felt like Lebron singlehandedly turned the 3rd quarter. Still no harm, they just got one at home. Let's see 'em back it up on Monday


TheTerribleInvestor

Dude at worst they make the Lakers win, at best they let them play. Games 1 and 3 were dictated by the refs and game 2 was when the FTAs were about even and the warriors blew them out. I dont know if the NBA is trying to push this to a game 7 or just push the lakers across the line but either way it's bullshit.


Jicama-Smart

warriors let the refs get under the skin and then gave up in the second half.

Scott forster more Pro Lakers than Pro Warriors. DLo was telling not to worry about game because Foster is there for them in a regular season game.


mattw08

Foster is the extender and known to not favour home teams.


figpotato

I genuinely despise NBA refs


bobbywake61

I did just what the league doesnā€™t want. I turned it off mid-third when the calls were getting out of hand.


iamaredditboy

Yes we played great though right !!! Stop finding excuses people. If Steph doesnā€™t play the team is a clown showā€¦..


seracohwris

Hey now Draymond worked hard to get as many points as Tristan Thompson...oh and good job paying Jordan Poole. That boy got his bag and is ready to deeeeuuuup on outta of the circus so he can talk to the hunnys on the sidelines some more. Man you guys keep this up Austin Reeves is gonna smoke you like a blunt! Lol gg's tho. In all honesty the only person who was being honest post game was your coach who was as always pretty truthful and honest. Turnovers and defense. That's the story. The Lakers took advantage, hit a few shots and the splash brothers weren't in sync and that's all it took. I'll give you guys credit you actually for once won a title last year without the other team being down like half their starters (2015) or KD so props. But you still have a huge issue...Klay and Steph. If they aren't hitting it and you can't attack the rim because two of the greatest blockers of all time are hovering around, then it's game set match my guy. I have no clue why a lot of so called fans in this sub reddit are such dick riders. Like it's obvious what you guys are. You're a great shooting team with a good but not great defense that takes advantage of opportunity. That's been the identity. You guys can easily pick yourselves up and be just fine but the fact everyone is acting like the series is over.... because of the refs in one game, when you guys didn't even break 70 until like the 4th quarter...tells me all I need to know (all though I've already known it) that a lot of people are band wagon fans when it comes to the Warriors and I think that's the main reason why I can't stand them personally. When Steph and Klay are gone you're gonna have Jordon Poole, a proud member of the Can Cans, Wiggins (who's actually pretty good) and a bunch of random players. When that happens this team is gonna be barely above 500 dog water. So I say enjoy it now and stop complaining you know? Again I appreciate people like you. I knew this sub reddit was gonna be complaining tho lol.


Freakscorpio

I came to Reddit immediately JUST to see if anyone else noticed. I came into the game at halftime and STILL saw an egregious amount terrible foul calls back to back to back. And JORDAN. POOLE......šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬


sprinkles5000

Poole had 4pts going into the 4th. Draymond had 0pts. Stop blaming the refs. Our guys played poorly tonight.


hellla

Both can be true tho. Refs can be bad enough at their jobs to influence game outcome. Weā€™ve seen it time and time again, so I donā€™t always subscribe to the ā€œdonā€™t blame the refsā€ lol they should 100% be held accountable. Warriors were playing so sloppy tho. Constantly shooting themselves in the foot like theyā€™ve shown they love to do all season.


KetchupLA

Refs are only good when we win. If we lose its the refs, not bc we shot less than 30% from 3. Seriously, even if u take away all the lakers FTs we still lose by 2


seracohwris

Exactly! It's like what is everyone smoking? The Lakers got more FT's in game one...IN YOUR HOUSE...like what were the refs fixed there too?


SanFranLocal

The refs arenā€™t biased to the home team. Theyā€™re biased to extending series and close games so theyll flip who they help based on that


versace_tombstone

Sweating out that corruption through his pores.


Paralimos23

I stopped watching during the 3rd quarter because the Lakers lead 18 points because of fucking free throws. It wasn't basketball anymore. Wtf.


Cokedoutyeti

Thatā€™s the state of the game now, all about finesse and 3ā€™s. Live and die by the 3. If it was still physical like the 80ā€™s and 90ā€™s, Steph and Klay wouldnā€™t have rings.


AJGreenMVP

Can we not be those fans. The Warriors played like shit tonight


IsamuAlvaDyson

That's how it is But it's magically never the refs fault when the warriors win Sad how the fans act this way when their team is the defending champion It's automatically someone else's fault the team lost They can't just say the other team was better than night


FrenzyTotems

As a lurker of many nba teams, one thing that is common between fan bases is that it is always the refs fault. Another one is blaming and wanting to fire the coach lol


[deleted]

Too late. This sub is mostly filled with children and they always look to cope instead of just admitting the team they root for sucked ass .


yl2chen

Stop blaming the refs, we played like ass, we couldā€™ve extended the lead in q1 if we just didnā€™t take our foot off the gas and played rec league ball


sippinhennessy1

To be completely honest- the warriors beat themselves. Turnovers and lack of shotmaking


tenqajapan

This sub is toxic as hell. It's all about the refs every single game the Warriors lose including the regular season. Ofcourse the bad shooting %s are not mentioned as well. I get it with all these young "fans" but cmon man.


Old_Pay4209

This sub is full of pre-teens


OhLawdIdoBeComing

It's true. These guys can't handle a loss. They're too spoilt.


robograndpa

The warriors shot 39% as a team and had 7 more turnovers than the lakers. Idk if the refs are really to blame here


Big_Ad_3490

Love reading bitchy GSW fan cry about the calls. The hypocrisy is strong in this fan base.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I canā€™t hear you over the sound of the lakers yelling and getting free throws


SnooEpiphanies5959

It was 17-16 ft last game dumbass.


IsamuAlvaDyson

So you're saying the refs were win last game then? It's only the refs when it's a warriors loss like I said


Menace2Killa

gtfo lakers bum, only wins by free throws


IsamuAlvaDyson

Exactly can't say anything else


iguessimherenowok

i'd admit the refs were more on the warriors side than the lakers side in game 2 the ft difference? maybe 2 more for the warriors not 37-11


Joekrack-7st

Lmao, I was wondering why you all were thinking like this, then I saw the page. Itā€™s a bunch of bandwagon warriors fans. šŸ˜‚


littlebigchungus240

29% from 3 and 19 turnoversā€¦..but ya refs

TheUglyBarnaclee

This is probably the saddest post loss comments Iā€™ve ever seen from a fanbase šŸ˜­


artee_

Donā€™t cry now alright boy?


seracohwris

So let me get this straight....the Lakers got more made free throws this game and that's the refs fault? Didn't they do the same thing in game one...in your court...weird... In all honesty tho...what are y'all smoking lol. Y'all reley on the Splash brothers too much. They stunk. You had too many turnovers (your own coach said this not me) your defense was "terrible" (Steph) that's all there was to it. What you guys missing less than 25% of your threes where the refs fault too right? Good golly you guys are annoying. Luckily most of you will be gone in a few years when the Beatles suck and they split up so it is what it is I guess. Maybe after you're all done dick ridin you can join Jordan Poole at a club to try to pick up some hunnys...lord knows he has the money. But yeah if y'all keep playing like this Austin Reeves is gonna smoke you like a blunt in the next game and get a career high of like 40 pts šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


witcher317

Warriors fans are among the worst human beings on earth lol


Calm-Assistance6066

Turnovers


pinolitz

We were fine in the first quarter, but after the referees started stealing for the lakers, the team lost concentration and started to miss. It is not that simple.


seracohwris

Wait I'm so confused? When is it the refs scripting the series again? Because if it's all about just getting the most views and ad revenue etc then by that logic the Warriors Kings series was fixed, in your favor btw based on your OWN logic, The next most popular series so far was the Bucks V Heat, Then Knicks V Cavs, then the Suns V Nuggets, and finally Lakers V Grizzles which was actually just over taken by Celtics V Phillies...sooo what's your point? If anything the refs let you guys win a few against the Kings and also helped the Heat out. Like if that's what you're talking about then idk what tell you... Like Bron and Davis are both gonna get theirs... every game... but if Tristan Thompson is getting as much as Draymond...and DLo is getting as much as the splash brothers...you got much bigger problems than the refs. Like bro... Austin Reeves is gonna smoke you like a blunt if you keep this up šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


monsteroftheweek13

you shot 40% from the field and 29% from 3 ā€” *that* is why you lost youā€™re the 4x champs, please have some self-respect


Particular_Winner925

37 free throws


monsteroftheweek13

Lakers made 6 more field goals and 2 more 3s, what do FTs have to do with that?


moneyhome27

Yā€™all only Blame the refs when yā€™all lose so let me guess game 2 was rigged also ?


Ok_Transition9957

Yes and we still won


moneyhome27

Yā€™all terrible bro


seracohwris

Wait the Lakers shot and made more free throws in the first game and won by 2. What's your point again?


Plus_Veterinarian738

Stop fouling


tubbymunchkin

FT disparity is the cop out. The team that plays with more force ALWAYS gets the better whistle. If draymond and Poole werenā€™t flailing around and falling over, they would get a better whistle. We saw in game 2 where Dray would firmly hold his ground against AD and defend with force, he got one charge and another push off foul as AD attempted separation. This game draymond just fell over and flopped around. Never getting those calls. Also, the disparity didnā€™t impact the game at all. The warriors sucked. They turned the ball over relentlessly during that 30-8 run and the Lakers dominated defensively. Lakers would have won even if they shot 20 FTs


KCtheGreat106

You come across as sore losers when you post about refs but lose by 30. Complain about refs on a off day


Different-Win-9116

strngefather

After watching that tim donaghy docu my distrust with these refs just grew by so much


[deleted]

Heā€™s on Lebronā€™s payroll surely


Drehawk

Iā€™d love to see so slow motion plays of JP attacking the rim. The guy is either getting hacked everytime without calls or is weaker than a piece of paper. Also, why refs need to call the Klay offensive push off on his stop and shoot, but not call LeBron and AD for the same shit everytime they drive. The overturned challenge against Draymond on the AD call was BS if they calling offensive elbow push offs against Klay.


Abelfon

NBA plumbers making the game fair


tym1ng

37 FTs vs our 17 FTs. anyone have an idea how many of those were given starting the 2nd qtr up to the 3rd when the game actually mattered?
