After back-to-back games filled with controversy over a number of apparent missed calls, Lakers star LeBron James took to Twitter to express his own personal frustration with the NBA's officiating
Responding to a tweet from another Twitter user that claimed the NBA is dealing with a “huge scandal” when it comes to officiating because the league is “altering their own definition of the rules,” James sounded off about the lack of calls that he’s received this year.
"And all year they keep telling me to my face on the court, 'I didn't see it' or 'It wasn't a foul,'" James. “It’s not making sense to me seriously! Frustrating as hell man!” James’s comments come in the wake of the second straight game that the Lakers have played in that’s been embroiled in controversy regarding the officials. On L.A.’s final offensive possession in Sunday night’s 113–112 loss to Philadelphia, Russell Westbrook said he was fouled by 76ers center Joel Embiid on a drive to the basket where a made shot would’ve put the Lakers ahead.
The NBA released its Last Two Minute report for the game on Monday, which stated that Embiid “slightly extends his arm before refracting it and marginal arm contact occurs,” ultimately deeming the officiating crew’s no-call the right decision. James fired off his tweet just a few hours later.
