This season, the Los Angeles Lakers are far from being one of the top teams in the Western Conference. If anything, their record of 20-24 places them in the bottom half of the table in the West.
While the Los Angeles Lakers have lost some games due to their faults, a narrative has been forming so far this season that the LeBron James-led team has been getting unfair treatment from the referees.
NBA fans blasted the referees following the Lakers’ recent defeat against the Dallas Mavericks. In addition to that, after seeing the final play against the Philadelphia 76ers, a fan on Twitter posted a conspiracy theory about the same, and shockingly LeBron James agreed with the fan.
And all year they keep telling me to my face on the court, “I didn’t see it” or “It wasn’t a foul”. It’s not making sense to me seriously! Frustrating as hell man! Anyways keep going Squad! 💜💛👑 https://t.co/tsrlXtJjuO

“And all year they keep telling me to my face on the court, ‘I didn’t see it’ or ‘It wasn’t a foul.’ It’s not making sense to me seriously! Frustrating as hell man! Anyways keep going Squad!”
This is certainly a wild conspiracy theory, and if this turns out to be true, this is definitely not good news for Lakers fans. But on a positive note, following LeBron’s sensational performance, the Lakers won their most recent matchup against the Houston Rockets.
LeBron James Continues To Question NBA Referees Lack Of Foul Calls For The Lakers
LeBron James and the Lakers may have comfortably won the game against the Rockets, but James didn’t forget about subtly calling out the refs during the postgame conference as he was asked if there was a solution to this problem.
(Starts at 3:10)
“I don’t know. I don’t have an answer to it. It is very very frustrating to put yourself in a position to win and then you have two calls that could have helped you win ball games and back-to-back games not going your way. When you are in a win business, it can affect a lot of people. It can affect a lot of people’s job security, affect a lot of things that’s going on and when you have an opportunity where you put yourself in a position to win, you want to feel like it’s fair.”
James was clearly frustrated while answering this question. After all, if the Lakers had won back-to-back games against the Mavericks and the 76ers, they would have closed the gap between other teams in the West. On top of that, they would be closer than ever to reaching a playoff berth this season.
