Bron - I am not your biggest fan and you often get on my nerves. But you have been getting jobbed jobbed jobbed this season. I do not know what is going on but they are really really tripping on you this season. I hope tonight's shenanigans for which they have already called themselves out is some kind of a turning point in the way you get called because this was just ludicrous. |

| Between the refs, Ham, Westbrook, AD, Jeanie, and Rob, Lebron is close to his wits end with this season. |

| How does stuff like this not get into his head? At this point everyone KNOWS he WILL get screwed by the refs at the end of games. |

| If I am Lebron, I will just start to load manage in all the National TV games especially the marquee matchups next season. Big FU to Adam silver |

About that play, if you play the game so that you need a foul at the buzzer to win then you have no complaints if you don’t get it. |
lol this guy is really something |
He get’s off on it and is just a stealth troll at this point |

He doesn't watch games so don't take what he says to heart.
He's that uncle who says wild things but you just ignore cuz it doesn't make sense, but still invite to the family gatherings.

| Incredible game by Bron tonight... too bad Davis and the rest couldn't rise to the occasion at the end. |

| That was tough, especially because they give the Celtics touch fouls on the other end. He played very well but in those situations might have to just take the pull up because the refs seem to never give him those calls. |

Could be that LeBron is a fan favorite and vegas loses money when he does well because everyone bets he will do well? not sure not into better but could be.
Shannon Sharpe the other day said "Vegas hates LA" and I think he is close to Bron......................... |

As someone who works in this industry this could not be more wrong. In fact it’s irrelevant and not how things work at all.
Shannon is an idiot.
That foul call had nothing to do with the spread - in fact sending it to OT made it worse. And the liability on Lakers outright win compared to the Celtics was nothing. A laker cover and win today was better for most books - but even if it was the opposite, again not how things work. |

Yes, Lebron was a dramatic but he cares. Absolutely love his passion for the game and Celtics games have always felt bigger for Lebron. Refs blew a call late that changed the result. He was pissed about a regular season outcome all these years later. Explains why he’s still 👑 |

Rookie mathurian of pacers rank above him

| I hope he decides to sit the AS game. I think that would be the best possible punishment to the league. The amount of people watching AS only because of Lebron is enormous. Him saying screw you all would be so good if happens. I pray for that. |

| Refs got something against Lakers' megastars. Shaq, Kobe and Bron don't get obvious foul calls in their favor. |

Does that really surprise you? Lebron sits on the perimeter and shoots threes. How many times per game does he really attack the rim, other than in transition? His FTAs have been generally declining for a long time. He hasn't averaged 8 per game since 2012. He's at 6.2 this year, which is similar to his last year in Cleveland (6.5) and higher than any of the last three years as a Laker. He hasn't been top 20 in the league since the bubble season, and he hasn't been top 10 in the league since Cleveland.
It was awful call. The officials choked and swallowed their whistles. It's plain and simple, and it does not require a more elaborate explanation involving disrespect toward Lebron. The fact that Lebron complains after every freaking non-call can create the illusion that he really is getting screwed all the time.

I noticed this right away last night, there was almost no chance for Horford to beat AD in a jump ball and the ref throw up the ball from the Celtics half |

This is wrong.
Betting odds are set to encourage betting among all the possibilities. (The odds aren't a prediction of who will win; they are set and changed to shift betting across all choices for risk management). Then the casinos make their money by the fee they charge on the losing bets.
The casinos literally don't care who wins or loses -- they care about having as high a volume of bets as possible. So Sharpe is 100% wrong -- casinos love any player or team that creates more betting. |

Not sure about that. Most betting there no cap limit or am I wrong? For example, Casino total bet taken for Lakers to win is $10m…. Boston is $5m… Who do you think the Casino is rooting for to win?
At the end of the day, the house don’t want to fork out their own cash for a payout. |
