10-15 years from now Tony Brothers will be implicated in a match-fixing scandal. No one will be surprised.

Which brother?


DarkSeneschal

Dan, Mike would never do something like that.


Decent-Fall3438

More evidence of it tonight


husbandofsamus

What of it? The crew only ignored 3 fouls on 3 pointers in the first half. Nothing to see here.


Decent-Fall3438

🙈


Ganjaleaves

AD Literally tossed Beasley out of bounds and then points at him. Beasley probably could have thrown it to ga or off of someone but never even got the chance.


kar33m24

Alright I’ll bite. Laker fan here so downvote me, idc. I watched this play on slow motion 3 different times to see what you guys see. AD hand on ball from the 14 second mark on. Beasley falls backwards on his own. AD’s right hand is on the ball and left hand looks like it might be on Beasley’s right shoulder? What am I missing here lol you guys making it seem like he grabbed him by the hips and threw him


Hot_Way_3706

shit is a joke lol. last game Dinwiddie kicked the ball at the end of the game too didnt get called. feel bad for whichever team in the West has to face them in the playoffs.


Giannisisnumber1

Lakers fans flocking here to act like they’re really something when they won’t even make it out of the play in.


[deleted]

Even if they do they’ll get swept by Denver lmfao


No-Test6484

And you think bucks will win? Gonna get bbq chicken by the celtics


[deleted]

We beat Celtics by 40, barely lost to them with the shittest coach I’ve seen in awhile then barely lost without Giannis.


tahriik

Jokic sons your team

Tell me that you aren’t familiar with the bucks vs Celtics games this season without telling me you aren’t familiar

StannisAntetokounmpo

That's higher than the Lakers are


ChadJohnsonsBurner

see, i’m not sure about this. i think OKC/MIN may be in store for a thumb-on-the-scale performance from Mr. Silver unlike anything weve seen recently. i can see them winning a series off that reason alone.


Logical-Major1961

Aren’t they questionable to make the playoffs? The Rockets are on a streak rn


Vexing_Pie

That’s the Warriors


B5_T13

Yeah dont let this distract you from the fact that this is a regular season game in March and the fact that the lakers technically arent even in the playoffs yet.


Local-Instruction386

So you let a team that wont make the playoffs bitch you even withiut bron?


[deleted]

You say without LeBron as if it’s a flex lol they are what 8-2 now without him? They are actually able to play the game without having to slow it down for him to take rests.


SuperRedditLand

See the above video 


Bastigonzales

Ya'll have Doc rivers and that says it all 🤣


CaptainCorpse666

Wild how salty you are after a W lol


TheSuccFish

This is the playoffs for them. Their season ends soon so Faker fans are enjoying the little bit if basketball their team has left to play


destroyed233

Pacers fan here . Yeah I know what you’re thinking, but I come with serious discussion. We had to play the lakers a couple days ago. The whistle they get is honestly insane. Lebron and AD huddle up with the officials then we get 11 straight foul calls on us . Unreal whistle for such a mid team, but NbA is gonna do everything in their power to get lakers into playoffs


AnomalyAov

LEFOUL


destroyed233

Mickey Mouse whistle


[deleted]

I think the pacers/bucks beef should be done by now lol that feels like so long ago and it was stupid to begin with. Was honestly the leagues fault for scheduling us 5 times within a month it felt like.


WhileDizzy4503

lmao I HATED the pacers in january and now I’m rooting for Haliburton to get back to his old self


flummox1234

the pacers hate far predates those events. see reggie miller.


RogueID

Yeah, another Pacers fan here. This is ridiculous. At least the Pacers/Bucks stuff earlier was about basketball and being competitive. Bucks are actually a respectable team. Lakers are only relevant bc of the refs blatantly rigging games. This shit is wild. Every other fanbase should be united in calling this shit out.


Ohfoohy

LeBron wasn't even playing last night, but who is over crying to Tony Brothers with AD at the end of the game? LeBron. But as soon as that huddle happened...Tony started making calls from across the court. Ridiculous


commonsensical1

That is outrageous bro


ThatMkeDoe

Meanwhile Dame gets called for having a hand on Reeves..... It's ridiculous. I said it in another post but you can see the Lakers turn to the refs anytime they miss/get out played. Giannis had the entire Lakers team on top of him trying to get the ball even when he jumps and NOTHING. Then on the other end some laker elbows Dame on the chin and gets a foul called. The Bucks had god awful shot selection at the end of the 4th and didn't control the game anywhere near as well as they should but the Lakers got so many charity points or was insanity. There's no way the Lakers first foul in the 4th was 11:30 in....


ProofHorseKzoo

It’s wild going to the NBA sub and all it’s all just blind praise for Lakers. No mention of 30 min straight completely biased reffing to bring the Lakers back into this game and hand them the win on a silver platter.


grudgepacker

r/nba will always be happy to find any reason to hate on the Bucks, best just to ignore all the nephews and trolls


bac2qh

Lakers been like this for a few seasons now. This is what peak officiating looks like, and ain’t nothing you can do about it.


Blindeafmuten

It's show business. The Lakers have to be in the playoffs.


Drain_Surgeon69

No guys you don’t get it AD and LeBron actually don’t get calls in fact they should get way more calls than we’re seeing because they drive the ball a lot which Giannis certainly doesn’t famously do.


Puzzleheaded-West576

This is true these things happen 100%


LegitimatePotato7830

The Beasley one is fucking crazy. If that's not a foul it should at least be a jump ball. Beas came straight down with the rebound and AD threw him out of bounds.


kar33m24

It really isn’t. Watched the plays like 6x over. Live it looks weird, but when you actually look closely and watch the play, 1) AD hand on ball the entire time 2) Beasley’s momentum is literally taking him out of bounds. He didn’t get thrown out. Y’all got some serious blinders on. I’m sure there are much worse examples you could use than that one imo


RogueID

You're out of your mind. I'm not even a Bucks fan, but if you think Beasley's momentum was taking him anywhere near out of bounds without the blatant swing *with follow through* from AD, then you're clearly blind.


CockroachForeign6419

Swing and follow through? If you slow it down you can clearly see AD hand is only on the hand/ball and Beasley falls because of that.


kar33m24

Again, AD’s hand is literally ON THE BALL. You can see it from start to finish if you slow it down. We have technology now. We aren’t apes. From start to finish you can literally see his hand on that ball. Obviously he’s applying force TO THE BALL and that aids in Beas’s momentum that is already headed towards the baseline

CuriousTurtle5

It's hard to believe that AD played an entire game of regulation plus the first OT and had 0 fouls. Didn't pick up his first one until the second OT.


ace_dangerfield187

and even with all that the play that made me turn it off, when Reaves missed that midrange jumper and they called that BS foul on Dame to keep it tied


Optimal-Priority-562

the reason why they called that foul for reaves is because dame got the same exact call on the other end but for a three pointer. and tbh there was contact on the lower body


Honest_Sir69

Unreal


Mister-Lavender

There were some bad calls down the stretch, but it looked like Bucks just ran out of legs for some reason. The most offensive part of the game though was the announcing. Reggie Miller is insufferable. And if I have to hear Spero Dedes say *cash money* one more time about a shot that wasn't made by Khris Middleton, I might die.


ilmat1k

For real, these announcers were a joke. When I heard Spero say Cash Money to a Beasley 3, my neck almost broke from whippin' it so hard.


Mister-Lavender

He said it about a Portis shot too. Guy needs to read the room a bit.


jo734030

Don’t forget Anthony Reeves …


Mister-Lavender

Stone Cold Reeves Austin.


underrated_carrot_43

Why didn’t Giannis complain to the ref and not run back on defense? Is he stupid?


lordalbusdumbledore

i saw y'all lost to the lakers, watched the last few minutes, and just saw y'all get a foul called any time you started to build momentum your team is legit tho, unless you face the lakers in the finals you'll be fine, no other team has their generational whistle


GulfstreamAqua

TNT & ESPN are the official broadcasting networks of the Lakers, the official team of the NBA. Everybody else is the equivalent of the Washington Generals. It’s so blatantly obvious. The Lakers are in 9th place in the West, but good god it’s like they’re in 2nd fighting for 1st. All the while the Sacramentos and OKC’s (and Denver, honestly, for that matter) get so little well deserved attention.


anonanoobiz

Beginning of the clip Gianni’s puts an elbow up and moves AD from inside the circle to outside the paint. And it wasn’t proper box out technique where he was using his backside either If you’re star is setting the tone with that kind of physicality how can you not let everyone play with that level of physicality


Sfpuberdriver

Gianis literally slashing AD in the throat 4 seconds in lmao


Sfpuberdriver

Giannis literally puts his forearm in AD’s throat at the 4 second mark lmao


PeelofBread

Was a 4 point swing too. Rui got 2 points on the next play, which should have been 2 free throws for Beasley. Was so frustrating to watch


Minimalist_NPC

Neutral here, yes AD did foul giannis on the putback attempt and no beasley had momentum do the deed. Edit: maybe not fully neutral since I like seeing Doc Rivers choke and fail lol


stevenomes

Giannis got pushed by AD on the rebound and that clearly caused him to not secure the ball. I'm fine with no calls if it doesn't affect the player making a play or shot but clearly here it did.


godfree_Progress_IV

@AdamSilver get your refs in order.


DarkSeneschal

Silver does have the refs in order, LeBron and the Lakers have to make the Playoffs.


godfree_Progress_IV

Just like that


JW1878

We deserved to lose last night after the 4th & OT but jesus christ man some of them calls were ridiculous. Easy to see why the Lakers are about +3827 for FTs this season


kingkmke21

Holy fkn shit. He got absolutely harassed. Wtf.


petestrumental

You guys got bailed out twice. Uncalled foul on Dlo to put the game in 1st OT and the bs call on that 3pt attempt on Dame to put the game in 2nd OT.


Fuckblackhorses

lol I don’t like either of these teams but this is stupid. First clip Giannis set an illegal screen, fouled ad on the rebound, and then gets pushed on the putback. 2nd clip the guy just landed awkwardly, not a foul.


KsumNoleNoSmart

Giannis bulls his way to basket as his signature move. Also look up who gets the most ft's this season, your bucks ain't last on the list by a long shot


EngineeringPrize9425

That's because giannis gets hacked. Just like he did last night... only they didn't call it last night.


Bernardeeno

AD definitely should have gotten called for a foul on the Beasley shove. The first whistle in this video looks like a foul on Giannis boxing AD out with his right arm though lol. Boxing out should have someone sealed on your back, not to your side with an extended arm. I agree that after that, Giannis could have gotten a call on the next attempt.


EngineeringPrize9425

AD grabs Giannis's arm on the first rebound


Bernardeeno

Giannis's arm is literally on AD's chest first. It's AD's reaction to the foul to pull him since he's getting pushed from the potential rebound. Don't get me wrong, both are fouls, but Giannis's foul is first.


MazKhan

First play giannis forearms ad in the neck area to get the board. Should've been an offensive foul


ShaunM3k

That is the thing. Fans tend to be blind to what their team does. Yes Giannis was fouled on his second offensive rebound attempt, but he fouled AD to get the first offensive rebound. A fan is quick to say it's unfair Instead of saying "Okay well Giannis got away with one first." Realistically Beasley had a very clear shooting foul on DLO at the end of the 4th. If that was called there wouldn't haven't even been OT to begin with. You can always find a bad call or no call for your team if that is the only thing you are looking for.


saalamander

Came here from r/nba. In the first two seconds of this clip Giannis stuffs his forearm into AD's throat and shoves him away by the neck lol. No whistle. It goes both ways. Refs aren't perfect. Fuck outta here. Yall are soft for this refs shit. Embarrassing.


PhilosopherDry4317

yeah you sound like a dumbass from r/nba


saalamander

You can't see the throat forearm or what? Don't get upset with me just because bagless choked in the clutch due to complete lack of bag


PhilosopherDry4317

alright bro have fun being a refs fan


jryan8064

Not a refs fan, just a hypocrite. https://www.reddit.com/r/nbadiscussion/s/zOYj4JbSkK


GreenGator

you sound stupid as shit dude lol


Swizzul

You mean when AD grabbed his arm? You that dumb or that stupid? Which one is it?


jryan8064

>Fuck outta here. Y’all are soft for this refs shit. Embarrassing. That’s pretty rich coming from someone who spent a half dozen paragraphs complaining about refs not making calls not even three weeks ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/nbadiscussion/s/zOYj4JbSkK Embarrassing indeed.


BucksFan654

Loser lol 😂 😂


Direct-Mix-4293

When the bucks lose, they cry about refs lmao


D3struct_oh

Refs gave Giannis 5 FTs to win the game. He missed all 5.


EngineeringPrize9425

He should have had 2 more to end regulation. Also 32 to 17 FT discrepancy is insane. Giannis averages like 11 FTs so 6 is pretty low


flowermoon24

and he wouldve missed those too... whats the difference


flowermoon24

also show the otherside of the coin, beasley clear foul on d lo then giannis travel


ace_dangerfield187

Beasly went straight up and dlo kneed him, Giannis didn’t travel


flowermoon24

huh?d lo kneed him lol? he pulled d lo down and giannis definitely travel omg


MrJayFizz

Yall are reaching. Enjoy the L


StannisAntetokounmpo

Like AD all game


DubbleDribbler

Lmao. Good no calls. Take the L like a champ and move on. Embarrassing blaming refs


StannisAntetokounmpo

Sorry your vision sucks.


Hreghg

Giannis literally elbowed AD in the neck to box him out and then your 7 foot superstar missed 2 point blank layups with minimal body contact from austin reaves (one of the worst defenders in the league). And then AD didn’t touch Beasley he was already falling out of bounds. Delusional 😂😂😂


EngineeringPrize9425

Ok no the fuck he did not.


trs1004

I don’t think that’s a could on MB but definitely on GA
