    Announcers: The amount of FTs the Lakers have taken is really affecting the Rockets...

    Yeah, no ****, hard to get a rhythm or play defense when its been so one sided this quarter.

    I am still confused they declined ISO master Harden.

    They are playing nothing but ISO ball.

    It is what it is. Money. We keep watching but NBA wants certain teams and players to win which means more money to these markets and these players’ brand

    Ime has to just take the fine, and pull what Cuban did against the Rockets years ago. Send the tape in, or just in the press conference go off and call the refs out for not calling fouls on Amen. Put the pressure on the refs to start calling it.

    I really respect Amen for not flopping or being a complainer. This is why players embellish contact b/c the ref dont do their ****ing job.

    This is unwatchable. Every Rockets possession is drive on 5 defenders

    Like, have we not known the history of Lakers to not mentally prepare for this refereeing shenanigan? Why is it surprising to anyone?!

    We have lots of outside shooters lol its Stone's fault if Udoka plays non shooters together???

    Who are the shooters on the Lakers? They have only taken 11 3s. Stop covering for Udoka this is just coaching incompetence which KD has covered by scoring at an elite rate the entire season.
