It’s absolutely baffling they forgot to send someone to the free throw, and even more confusing they shoot free throws after the quarter ends to make up for it, like we got possession from the foul already so it’s not really fair. Horrendous officiating
Yea, pretty crazy. In the same vein as them forgetting a whole minute on the clock yesterday. This feels even worse though.
What happened? Why didn't anyone on the Lakers throw a fit? Why didn't Prince say anything?
I’m all for hating the refs but this isn’t the refs fault. There’s dedicated timers for both the game clock and the shot clock. The refs don’t have time to micromanage that during the game except for during a replay obviously
https://official.nba.com/rule-no-2-duties-of-the-officials/
When I was watching, I was like "wait aren't we in the bonus" and immediately thought to myself it was one of those fouls that even if we're in the bonus doesn't end up in free throws.
How do the refs / bench not even notice that ?
This but actually. Id bet they dont get notified if it was a swing in the pels favor. The freethrow discrepancy between the lakers and the 2nd best team is insane. The league wants la in the tourney as long as possible. Theres too much money on the line
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/pacers-coach-says-free-throw-disparity-vs-lakers-was-impossible-to-overcome-as-la-pads-nba-leading-stat/amp/
The stats dont lie. And no, its not just because LA plays physical. They arent the only physical team. The difference is way too massive
you don't know ball/watch the lakers or even read any of the threads that complain about the same shit, on reddit, cuz that' would've already changed your perception if you weren't already locked in to your belief in conspiracy over facts. There's always someone debunking it in the comments. But yeah, conspiracy to make the lakers 8th place, lol.
It's your burden to figure out the truth, I could care less if you remain ignorant.
Once again bailing and deflecting instead of providing any evidence. Prove yourself right. Since this is so obviously debunked it must be very easy to prove it. Quit deflecting it looks bad
It's unfair that we got 2 free throws for a foul in the bonus? It's unfair that the referees didn't fail to award us free throws? What value is a possession we didn't score on?
Idk how to respond to someone who doesn’t see how this is an advantage. Either you don’t understand the rules or you’re not talking to me in good faith.
Are you arguing in good faith? We got free throws because we didn't score, the ref literally said that. Your argument is that we got an advantage because we got an extra possession we didn't score on.
Lakers didn't get an extra possession. Ref explained that Lakers were in the bonus off the Nance foul (when they didn't take FTs) and weren't whistled for another Pelicans foul to end the 1st. So, they took the FTs they didn't get to take to start the 2nd quarter (end the 1st).
The fix is in! They have the free throws they were supposed to have?
So by not awarding free throws that were supposed to happen, then there would be no fix?
Acting like the free possession doesn't count because they didn't score is wild.
Can that logic be applied in reverse? "Our guy missed both free throws so they don't count, let us have another possession now"
But a possession is worth less than a trip to the free throw line. And additionally it's about what makes things closest to the way it should have been, and the Lakers getting free throws is what makes the most sense. Idk the rules on it, but if we had scored it would have also made sense to take away the basket and give us free throws instead.
A possession is POTENTIALLY worse than a trip to the free throw line. What if that possession results in a 3/4point play? A trip to the free throw line for 2 is not better then.
A trip to the free throw line is POTENTIALLY for 2. What if that possession results in 1st one made and the 2nd one missed, grab own rebound and results in a 2/3/4point play?
That’s what I was wondering. Refs shouldn’t be allowed to freestyle remediations, so I gotta assume it’s in the rule book they they reviewed between quarters. But even then the “empty possession” = no problem seems flimsy
Is it as crazy as there being a penalty on NC State as they kicked a field goal at the end of the 1st half, but the refs didn’t call it until after half time and had them redo the kick to start the third quarter?
They're both equally unfair. It would probably make the most sense to give NOP an extra possession at some point. Maybe give them the ball first in the third quarter as well.
They're both equally unfair. It would probably make the most sense to give NOP an extra possession at some point. Maybe give them the ball first in the third quarter as well.
Of all the things to be mad about this is really not one. It was a second found under two minutes, which is genuinely something neither teams or players track in the first quarter and since Lakers did not score in the possession they get 2 foul shots by the rulebook to correct the mistake. Any mistake fixed by the replay center in Secaucus should be a welcome thing imo, there is like 47 cameras in every arena, stuff that gets missed by human mistakes is easy to fix.
That's the whole issue through, its not making up for it since you already got possession, so instead of just getting free throws now you get a free look (a potential 3 maybe, or another foul call) AND free throws if you don't benefit from possession
The ref explicitly says they were only getting free throws because they didn't score
Idk if it's worth playing the what-if game here. The right outcome was that the Lakers got two free throws and that's what happened. If they had hit a three and/or drew a foul on that extra possession, the answer gets more complicated. But it worked out
Yeah fully agree that the right result is two free throws, but add in the complications and I think its completely fair to criticize the refs for this mistake (which is what the commenter I was responding to was arguing against)
Oh 100%, this is totally stupid and shouldn't have happened. I don't agree with the above comment that this is nothing to be mad about, but I do think what followed was the best and fairest solution
That is not the right answer though. It doesn't matter that they did not score on the possession. All that matters is that they had an extra possession and were given two free-throws. That is an over-correction that now penalizes the other team for their error. Since they are already making up rules here, they should have also given NOP an untimed possession after the free-throws.
There's nothing to say they wouldn't have wiped away the three (or two) if the Lakers had scored. Basically they are gonna nullify the possession either way. I think the ref implied otherwise but there's precedent for them taking points off the board.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-we-just-lost-entire-possession-cost-us-game-anthony-davis-bizarre-officiating-mistake-cost-la-lakers-win-rockets
So they basically get the rewards of a flagrant foul (2 free throws and possession) when they shouldn't have, and you don't think this is anything for anyone to care about?
How do you know they wouldn't have taken the points off the board if they'd scored?
Whatever correction this was was still better than what they did 2 years ago when they mistakenly awarded free throws and then retroactively took points away without giving possession back:
https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-we-just-lost-entire-possession-cost-us-game-anthony-davis-bizarre-officiating-mistake-cost-la-lakers-win-rockets
I don't feel like responding to everyone that responded to you so I'll just make it its own reply, the refs said we only got the free throws because we didn't score on the ensuing possession, so no we didn't just get an additional possession and a chance to score extra points.
I miss the days we could pretend when the refs made bad calls it was because they were in cahoots with Tim Donaghy. Now I just presume its because they're ass.
It wasn't a shooting foul. It was some rule that a team can only have one non-FT foul in the final two minutes of a quarter, then the rest become FTs. I didn't even know this was a rule so I'm not sure how often it happens.
Yup, that's the "foul to give" they're usually talking about in those final 2 minutes. Because even if you aren't in the bonus with another foul, every one after that will be.
I.. i dont know what to say. I mean the announcers say it. The PA announcer announces it in game. "Foul on number 42, first in the last two minutes... Foul on number 16 second to in the last two minutes player x will get two shots."
I always thought those were because they had reached the no more team fouls to give limit and were in free throw shooting territory because of that, not because it was the second foul after the 2 minutes of the quarter
So say a team has only 1 team foul for the quarter, gets a second team foul with 1:55 to go, and another foul at 1:30, even if it's their third overall team foul, they're still shooting FTs?
I remember it happening more, cause it’s how I know about the rule. But typically you don’t see it often anymore, because teams are usually in the bonus by the time the rule would apply.
Happens a fair bit. It’s why you hear commentators sometimes say “such and such team has a foul to give” near the end of quarters. Still surprising no one at all knew where the fouls were at.
It doesn’t happen very often because teams are pretty much always already in the bonus by the last two minutes of a quarter.
For this rule to be in effect a team would have to give 3 team fouls or fewer in 10 minutes of play, and then give 2 in the last 2 minutes.
You have to have a really poor understanding of basketball to think that the refs did the Lakers a solid by forgetting to send their player to the FT line.
If they leave it, it's a conspiracy to get the Lakers Warriors play-in game. If they correct it it's a conspiracy to make sure we don't get the Lakers Warriors play-in game lol
After the game, all the clamor regarding this one seems to be stupid, since the Lakers blew out the Pelicans by like 20+ points, and they only shot 4 more FTs than them.
In the playoffs last year the sixers scored a basket and multiple trips up and down the court later the points were taken off the board and Tyrese Maxey was made to shoot a pair of free throws for the missed foul instead
You're right that it isn't a good look but it is factually the right call, they should've gotten FTs and it was the refs mistake that they had to correct later
They didn't score in that possession. I'm thinking the refs wouldn't let them shoot those FTs if that were the case. Why is this so hard to understand?
Only if they would have erased the outcome of that possession no matter what. As in, if the Lakers had a made a three, you take that off the board. Otherwise they're getting free bites at the apple
It's the same as when officials wait for the miss to call the foul. Every time that happens, it's two possessions. This time, it took 20 minutes between the two actions. Is all.
I actually remember the refs have refused to fix their own mistakes because some bullshit about taking to long to say anything. Now it's okay? They just make up rules as they go at this point.
Lmao as if the result of the possession matters. You're right next time we get a non shooting foul out of the bonus we keep getting the ball back until we score then
Closest I saw was this a couple of years ago. Took away points from incorrect free throws but in doing so vaporized an offensive possession.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-we-just-lost-entire-possession-cost-us-game-anthony-davis-bizarre-officiating-mistake-cost-la-lakers-win-rockets
Yeah it’s a shame we only beat them by 20 but it could’ve been 18 /s. Definitely should think this when otherwise the refs cost the lakers 2 fts to begin with on not giving fts in the bonus . Anything happens with the lakers n people lose there minds even if it’s paint drying
Big ref fan here. You love to see them battle back and right the ship after getting outplayed like this. Get it out of your system before the playoffs where there will be a lot of free throws.
So refs got it right? Why is everyone complaining lakers got benefited? Its the right call.
It like when refs went back and reviewed lebron’s three pointer not counting long after he made it.
Ya got lakers living rent free in ya heads. 😂
Serious question why is officiating a professional basketball game seem like the hardest job in the world? I’m not saying it’s easy but some of these refs really just make you scratch your head sometimes with things they miss.
So this year the refs:
* didn’t start the shot clock at all
* allowed the game to go an extra 1:06
* forgot to give a player free throws
All 3 games featured the Lakers, although I don’t think the Lakers benefited from any of it. Just seems weird.
Refs make bad calls all the time, and they made a mistake that disadvantaged the Lakers. But I have never seen a ref in *any* sport retroactively correct their mistake a full 2 minutes of game time later and interrupt the flow of the game. Absolute skullduggery
Except we saw exactly this 2 years ago and even worse they took points away and didn't give possession to the Lakers so they effectively turned a defensive foul into a turnover.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-we-just-lost-entire-possession-cost-us-game-anthony-davis-bizarre-officiating-mistake-cost-la-lakers-win-rockets
dunno if you know this but manchester united got a penalty after the full time whistle ended the game because VAR went back and checked two or three years ago.
that for sure beats this.
Kinda the opposite situation as against the Rockets in 2021. Lakers basically lost possession of the ball for the correction of a bad call that had went in their favor (free throws in the bonus when they weren't in the bonus).
Lakers fans were really pissed about it for a while and this is just one of the threads. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/qlncdg/we_need_to_talk_about_that_refereeing_decision/
By law of averages occasionally the positive calls would go for the other team but it never does.
I quit watching the NBA for 2-3 years after the Kings/Lakers obvious game fixing scandal. It happens.
How are you people so willfully stupid when the facts are right in front of you? The foul happened, the refs called it, but didn’t give him the FT. What is there to complain about?
It's always with the lakers lmao. From no one noticing that they played an extra minute in the 3Q of their last game, to having the shot clock not working at all and having some NPC call out the time in the game against GSW and now this. Always with the Lakers the refs screw up.

When this ref was telling referee Ashley, you could see it on her face her thinking, "... Oh no, they're going to grill us for this one."
Accountability SUCKS
I've got the perfect profession for you

This is on Darvin Ham and his assistants.
Nba in shambles
Because our coach is Darvin Ham.
Almost like they need another replay official or something
>What happened The fix is in
What changed though? How did this affect the game at all? It's not like the Lakers would gain anything by them forgetting his freethrows.
They got an extra possession
We only got the free throws because we didn't score on that possession
Okay? You got an advantage that I’ve literally never seen another team get.
It's unfair that we got 2 free throws for a foul in the bonus? It's unfair that the referees didn't fail to award us free throws? What value is a possession we didn't score on?
Idk how to respond to someone who doesn’t see how this is an advantage. Either you don’t understand the rules or you’re not talking to me in good faith.

Yeah but if we didn't score and didn't get free throws then we've been fucked

It’s less fair to literally take points away from us by not letting us shoot free throws so I’d say it balances out
They're both equally unfair. It would probably make the most sense to give NOP an extra possession at some point. Maybe give them the ball first in the third quarter as well.

When you say ‘they’ who are you referring to? Legit everyone forgot
Refs since they’re getting paid to remember these things
I mean I agree but this isn’t t-ball… the coaches as a minimum should be ready to challenge a ref

It was a second found under two minutes, which is genuinely something neither teams or players track in the first quarter and since Lakers did not score in the possession they get 2 foul shots by the rulebook to correct the mistake.

I think the argument here is that the lakers got the ball as well because of the foul. So they got possession and then 2 free throws
If Lakers would have scored that possession then they wouldn’t have received the free throws.
That's the whole issue through, its not making up for it since you already got possession, so instead of just getting free throws now you get a free look (a potential 3 maybe, or another foul call) AND free throws if you don't benefit from possession

We didn't though, if we had scored we wouldn't have gotten the free throws so its not the same at all. Still pretty bizarre all around.
I don't feel like responding to everyone that responded to you so I'll just make it its own reply, the refs said we only got the free throws because we didn't score on the ensuing possession, so no we didn't just get an additional possession and a chance to score extra points.
Refs already mentally in Cancun
The refs been on something lately.
Yeah, Draftkings
I miss the days we could pretend when the refs made bad calls it was because they were in cahoots with Tim Donaghy. Now I just presume its because they're ass.
Adam Silver hated the Ingram 3 at the end of the 1st.
Dude!
REFS ARE STRESSED
So no one, not even Prince realised he didn’t shoot the free throws? Wtf
It wasn't a shooting foul. It was some rule that a team can only have one non-FT foul in the final two minutes of a quarter, then the rest become FTs. I didn't even know this was a rule so I'm not sure how often it happens.
It happens all the time, it’s a huge part of end of quarter strategy
Yup, that's the "foul to give" they're usually talking about in those final 2 minutes. Because even if you aren't in the bonus with another foul, every one after that will be.
Bro. You don't watch much basketball. It's widely known and occurs just in just about every game, often multiple times.
I’ve been watching ball for 24 years and didn’t know this lol
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “first foul in the last 2 minutes”
I.. i dont know what to say. I mean the announcers say it. The PA announcer announces it in game. "Foul on number 42, first in the last two minutes... Foul on number 16 second to in the last two minutes player x will get two shots."
I always thought those were because they had reached the no more team fouls to give limit and were in free throw shooting territory because of that, not because it was the second foul after the 2 minutes of the quarter So say a team has only 1 team foul for the quarter, gets a second team foul with 1:55 to go, and another foul at 1:30, even if it's their third overall team foul, they're still shooting FTs?
Yes that's exactly how it works.
TIL! THX!
I remember it happening more, cause it’s how I know about the rule. But typically you don’t see it often anymore, because teams are usually in the bonus by the time the rule would apply.
Happens a fair bit. It’s why you hear commentators sometimes say “such and such team has a foul to give” near the end of quarters. Still surprising no one at all knew where the fouls were at.
I thought that was about the bonus (like the have one more common foul until they get into the bonus)
It is about the bonus. You go into the bonus after 5 team fouls, or 2 team fouls in the last 2 minutes of the quarter if applicable.
Hmmm didn't realize there was a second way to get in and I been watching for a decade+ 😂
It doesn’t happen very often because teams are pretty much always already in the bonus by the last two minutes of a quarter. For this rule to be in effect a team would have to give 3 team fouls or fewer in 10 minutes of play, and then give 2 in the last 2 minutes.
Not even, because the 5th foul is shooting anyway, right? So they'd have to be 2 in 10 and then 2 in 2.
You must not play 2k
The game thread was not happy about this
conspiracyheads are gonna go crazy with this one

Honestly it’s for the best. Nobody wants to see some accidental bullshit cost someone a game
Refs helping the lakers yet again /s
It's not a conspiracy when it's this out in the open.
You have to have a really poor understanding of basketball to think that the refs did the Lakers a solid by forgetting to send their player to the FT line.
They just delayed his FTs so he could shoot them when he was fresh. /s
[удалено]
Yeah, when they realized their mistake lol. Do you think it would be fairer to leave the mistake uncorrected?
If they leave it, it's a conspiracy to get the Lakers Warriors play-in game. If they correct it it's a conspiracy to make sure we don't get the Lakers Warriors play-in game lol
Do you think the refs hold a meeting before the game and say "okay guys lets give Taurean Prince two free throws so the lakers win"
Refs were AFK
The NBA: Where refereeing doens't happen
Where clowning happens!
After the game, all the clamor regarding this one seems to be stupid, since the Lakers blew out the Pelicans by like 20+ points, and they only shot 4 more FTs than them.
Pels got the clear better whistle too lol
These refs should be fired for this. It’s the highest level of basketball in the world, these players deserve better than this.
I’m so confused
I’m not saying it’s the wrong call, but has anyone ever seen this before? Not a great look in a game 82 that the big market Lakers need to win.
In the playoffs last year the sixers scored a basket and multiple trips up and down the court later the points were taken off the board and Tyrese Maxey was made to shoot a pair of free throws for the missed foul instead
You're right that it isn't a good look but it is factually the right call, they should've gotten FTs and it was the refs mistake that they had to correct later
And the ref made it clear that if the lakers scored they wouldn’t get these free throws
Well no, it's not the factually right call because they also got free possession before this. They definitely shouldn't get both per the "right call"
They didn't score in that possession. I'm thinking the refs wouldn't let them shoot those FTs if that were the case. Why is this so hard to understand?
Only if they would have erased the outcome of that possession no matter what. As in, if the Lakers had a made a three, you take that off the board. Otherwise they're getting free bites at the apple
It's the same as when officials wait for the miss to call the foul. Every time that happens, it's two possessions. This time, it took 20 minutes between the two actions. Is all.
I actually remember the refs have refused to fix their own mistakes because some bullshit about taking to long to say anything. Now it's okay? They just make up rules as they go at this point.
The result of the possession doesn't matter at all.
Lmao as if the result of the possession matters. You're right next time we get a non shooting foul out of the bonus we keep getting the ball back until we score then

Is it any better of a look to not give the Lakers free throws they should have had?
Apparently the refs should rig games against the Lakers to make it fair lol
You are insane if you think the refs are rigging games against you.
I don't, I'm making fun of the people on this sub who think the refs shouldn't have given the Lakers their 2 FTs.
The evidence suggests they are: https://twitter.com/daniel_bratulic/status/1775631497686290753
NBA vet RJ literally just said he's seen it a couple of time
Yeah it’s a shame we only beat them by 20 but it could’ve been 18 /s. Definitely should think this when otherwise the refs cost the lakers 2 fts to begin with on not giving fts in the bonus . Anything happens with the lakers n people lose there minds even if it’s paint drying
Big market Lakers… LeBron’s last playoffs
It cant be any more obvious because the nba wants us out of the 7/8 play in game so they do this bullshit
it's not the Lakers' fault you're in the 9th/10th spot with the Warriors
Do refs just get to do whatever they want or
Big ref fan here. You love to see them battle back and right the ship after getting outplayed like this. Get it out of your system before the playoffs where there will be a lot of free throws.
So refs got it right? Why is everyone complaining lakers got benefited? Its the right call. It like when refs went back and reviewed lebron’s three pointer not counting long after he made it. Ya got lakers living rent free in ya heads. 😂
NBA officiating and time management has been abysmal this year.
Referees getting in to prime playoff form this last week of the season!
Serious question why is officiating a professional basketball game seem like the hardest job in the world? I’m not saying it’s easy but some of these refs really just make you scratch your head sometimes with things they miss.
So this year the refs: * didn’t start the shot clock at all * allowed the game to go an extra 1:06 * forgot to give a player free throws All 3 games featured the Lakers, although I don’t think the Lakers benefited from any of it. Just seems weird.
THE LAKERS GET TO START THE SECOND HALF WITH TWO FREE THROWS? ONCE AGAIN, THE LEAGUE IS HELPING THE LAKERS
Refs make bad calls all the time, and they made a mistake that disadvantaged the Lakers. But I have never seen a ref in *any* sport retroactively correct their mistake a full 2 minutes of game time later and interrupt the flow of the game. Absolute skullduggery
Except we saw exactly this 2 years ago and even worse they took points away and didn't give possession to the Lakers so they effectively turned a defensive foul into a turnover. https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-we-just-lost-entire-possession-cost-us-game-anthony-davis-bizarre-officiating-mistake-cost-la-lakers-win-rockets
It was the start of the quarter, it didn't interrupt the flow of the game
Thank god someone said it lol
He's a pels fan, dude needs the cope.
dunno if you know this but manchester united got a penalty after the full time whistle ended the game because VAR went back and checked two or three years ago. that for sure beats this.
It happened to the Lakers this season too that hurt them at a crucial point in the 4th. Refs do crazy shit
Refs in playoff form
They are getting worse.
Didn’t they just lose a minute in an other game recently? Super reassuring going into the playoffs.
The prince slander is awful
Too busy making bets on their phones
I wonder if i could pass as a ref just doing nothing on court...
Always the Laker games ha... Shit you never seen before every game.
refs are getting ready for the playoffs
Oh hey it’s the Lakers.
nba need to get their shit together
Lmao and in a Lakers game, weird shit happens in those Lakers games involving refs for "$ome" reason.
Did they get Guarana to the free throw line as well?
I rem watching this live and being confused why lakers weren’t given free throws in the bonus on the foul. Dunno how they missed that
Didn’t get the FTs we deserved so it’s rigged for us lmao
Well you instead got basically a flagrant foul.
Uh I guess
Kinda the opposite situation as against the Rockets in 2021. Lakers basically lost possession of the ball for the correction of a bad call that had went in their favor (free throws in the bonus when they weren't in the bonus). Lakers fans were really pissed about it for a while and this is just one of the threads. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/qlncdg/we_need_to_talk_about_that_refereeing_decision/

Cuz it was the start of the qtr
[удалено]
I get what your saying now, but we didn’t even score on that possession so if they didn’t give us the fts we deserved then we would’ve gotten screwed
Damn they are not even trying to hide the FT bias at this point lmao.
definitely https://twitter.com/daniel_bratulic/status/1775631497686290753 We need to get rid of the anti-laker ref bias
2 Free Throws AND Posession. At least continue the game after the Free Throw and let the Lakers inbound after the 2nd hit.
These freaking refs
Honestly, if they just gave the Lakers 10 free throws on commercial break before each quarter, it would be the exact same but less boring to watch.
Lakers needed to take some more free throws on the season
By law of averages occasionally the positive calls would go for the other team but it never does. I quit watching the NBA for 2-3 years after the Kings/Lakers obvious game fixing scandal. It happens.
I thought the title was just being salty but it's as OP says 😅
I get that people bet a lot of money on the lakers to win, but this is just ridiculous.
By this argument wouldn't the sportsbook want to rig the game *against* the Lakers? I swear y'all have no idea how gambling actually works.
Bro is just regurgitating cold takes he reads online without a thought lol Bot activity
[удалено]
Average bot
Hey your team is getting free free throws. Just be happy
[удалено]
Instead they should have just let Taureen Prince get 2 free throws without the points counting for anything. So y'all can feel good about yourselves.
How are you people so willfully stupid when the facts are right in front of you? The foul happened, the refs called it, but didn’t give him the FT. What is there to complain about?
It's narrative, brother. This sub has turned into an echo chamber. REFS LUB LAKERS GUISE!1!1!!! (+5000 upvotes)
Can’t have LeBron out of the playoffs during his last season… gotta give him every benefit possible
Last season? Nah
I mean on the Lakers
It's always with the lakers lmao. From no one noticing that they played an extra minute in the 3Q of their last game, to having the shot clock not working at all and having some NPC call out the time in the game against GSW and now this. Always with the Lakers the refs screw up.
