There's the ref on that side of view on that image and I don't believe what they say. In those crucial moments, they have to review if it's a foul or not, right?
But they didn't call it out since it's their home team that's in danger of just losing the game with just 1 free throw to get in made by James. There should really be a call out on that incident and more sanctions and punishments for those referees that neglected their duty.

He has invested in his health and that's paying off now and even if he's aged, he's still one of the assets of the Lakers now. Going with Monday's game for the Lakers. I just saw the news lately that Lebron and AD will go out against the Nets.

So what now? That's it? They will just move on from that stupid non-call from a "Chief referee". Take note that's a chief referee and he missed that call? I just hope that they're feeling well after not calling that pretty obvious call.

That's why I somewhat agree with what AD said in an interview that referees must be fined for these kind of mistakes. I mean in that Lakers-Celtics game, the referees missed a total of 7 calls including that last one with Lebron. You're a professional referee and you miss that number of call? Referees are being paid, but they aren't doing their job.
Hoochie-mama as Charles Barkley said.

The acquisition of Hachimura has been a good move by the team and in fact, so far both teams won that trade because both teams are utilizing their newly acquired players and they are playing well with their new teams. Now the question is that, how impactful those 3 2nd round draft picks will be on the  Wizards (if they will not get traded).

As for AD and the Lakers as a team, I agree with what they said that the battle in the West is so tight that the Lakers just need 3 games while other teams in the top 6-8 lose 3 in order for the Lakers to clinch at least the play-ins. On the other hand, I don't expect AD to be that impactful right after his injury. Probably after the all-star break, he might explode at one night.

Memphis came back strong after five matches loss streak. Without Haliburton Indiana is just an ordinary team but they played first half good. Memphis took the control of the game in second half though. Jaren Jackson Jr. was the most effective player along with Morant. He looks like a serious candidate for DPOY award. Both players had a great game that Dillon Brooks' poor performance was overshadowed. Another triple-double night for Morant with an impressive 15 assists. Ja Morant will be a great player but his obvious travels that get no calls are disturbing me. I wish refs be more strict on a simple basketball rule. I don't expect them to call every travel like European basketball but some obvious travels that they don't call turns people off from watching the match.

They don't do reviews anymore unless it's flagrant, this is where the coach's challenge will play a big part. It may just be one challenge but it can be used for crucial calls like this.
Anyway, I still believe referees are trying to do their best and what they said is true, they can make mistakes, tons of them. I have been trying to watch most of the NBA games that I could and I see a lot of missed calls from the referees.
This is a problem when they are focused on other calls like traveling and the ball carry, they tend to miss other details.

That play by Lebron though, all eyes on him, it's hard to miss that.
I think a coach challenge won't work too as no call was made. (contradicting myself  ) This is where they should research using the replay again on crucial moments. But not to the extent of abusing it.
Maybe 1 replay request and 1 coach challenge for each team.

A clear disappointment with how the ref handles the game. A game changing play that we all know that if the ref stands in the right position
they can admit their mistake and correct the outcome of the game.

It can give them a good credibility and respect but they've chosen the wrong decision and make things controversial's, maybe they forget
that social medias can ruin them with how the replays circulate around the web.

Hope not to see a crucial non-call like this, especially that the season is near to next round.

Currently, one of the most embarrassing moments caused by the referee, and we consider this incident as there is something in the NBA that even the referee can't help to do anything about it. With this incident, the doubt about NBA being rigged became more apparent and they cannot hide this stuff so fast because it has been spread in social media already and because of how LBJ react to it, they seem to love seeing it with their multiple opinions about it. Let's see what kind of idea they have to implement in the next upcoming games because this incident will cause more than they thought because the fans are now turning to the refs every game and checking carefully about their miscalls and putting it in the internet.

It was kind of heart breaking seeing LeBron like that, I mean that reaction was rare though and he was literally aching by what happened as it happened to them numerous times already. There's a meme circulating right now on the web that the NBA refs cost the Lakers 4 lost and that means, they could've land on the 6th or 7th seed but the refs were against them lately. Moreover, the Replay Center is now fully established, they should work that out in this kind of scenarios.

Yes, I certainly agree! They said it themselves, "Like everyone else, referees make mistakes". But the question is, are they getting some penalties or some sort of punishment because of the move they did? I guess not and for that, they should evolve for a much better referee so that every game is somehow fair and just.

By the looks of it, it sure looks like the refs made a bet on the Celtics side and the reason why they cheated or rigged the game. Just a thought.
