WMC 12/13: Mercy kill. (0-4)

I really wish Dwight would have just elbowed that bald piece of s*** in the face

Joey Crawford is an idiot. MWP shoulda knocked him OUT

joey crawford is a pos. blocking foul?

Too many free throws missed, too many turnovers

3rd year in a row we've lost to Indiana at home in the closing seconds

Joey Crawford... that POS what a f***** BS call.

One of the refs was actually headed the other way on that bS charge call. Why they didnt at least discuss it is just ridiculous

Crawford trying to be bigger than the game again as usual

If players are fined for flopping, will Joey be fined for his lame a$$ dance?

This team is a Joke. From management not going with Phil, to the players expecting Kobe to carry us every single night. World Peace, Gasol, and Jamison are by far to blame for this loss. Mostly I blame the FT shooting. If you take away Kobe's 11-13 the rest of team shot 40% from the Line. There is nothing Free about free throws for this team. How about Pringles offense? Isn't it something to behold? I mean 77 points is really stunning. Mike Brown lead offenses look like genius level coaching compared to what I witnessed tonight. This game is going to resonate in my mind for a long time. I have never been more embarresed to be a Laker fan in my entire life. Outside of Kobe I could see every player cut without a blink of an eye, and that includes Dwight. This guys free throw shooting is more frustrating to watch then I could have ever imagined. He makes Shaq look like Ray allen on the charity stripe.

SHOOTING overall -> FTs, FGs, 3pt shots, you name it

Turnovers

Joey Crawford

PAU GASOL.

joey crawford hates black people.

THIS.

That was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Not kidding.

This game seemed incredibly shady.

I thought they could review charge/block fouls in the last few minutes of the games now?

While I agree whole heartedly the call of the other end that sent MWP to the line was equally bad..... difference?... West hit one MWP didn't....

it doesn't really matter. we missed 4 straight free throws directly after.

That douche looked back to see if he was going to give out a tech to Duhon.

missed ft and missed 3s...kobe 5-11...rest of the team 1-17...

i agree ref was horrible but we shouldnt even put us in that position...we had to win this game...

pau is non factor on both sides...or he is even huge factor for other team...maybe next time mda will go with hill if we need D stop...

Is it possible to protest a call or something?

The only thing I can't believe more is Duhon not cursing out Crawford. I would have. I would have thrown my jersey and not care if I get multiple Ts and suspensions. I wouldn't even apologize to Crawford afterward.

As much as I hate Joey Crawford and how pissed I was at that botched call, that .gif is freaking hilarious. What a [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] idiot.

Well I mean if we just hit our freethrows (or even a few more), we're all in a jolly mood right now haha...

Come on, we have the highest freaking payroll in the NBA, there is no excuse for losing this many games this early, I don't care if Nash is out. The free throw shooting is just embarrassing as well, a pro team should not be this bad, wow.

safe to say chance of a chip this year is well below 20%?

Kobe, MWP and Dwight were the only three players that played hard and with heart today.

Doesn't matter what happened before or after the call. What matters is the call, and that was the worst call I've ever seen in 18 years of watching the NBA. Never thought I'd say that, but I end up saying it almost every other week.
