The Lakers are already complaining about LeBron James not getting any foul calls this season.
On Monday night, the Lakers lost to the Heat, and Lakers head coach Darvin Ham went off on the refs.
During his postgame press conference, Ham insisted that LeBron was not flopping and was consistently getting hacked during the game while only shooting four free throws.
“I’ve been around this league a long time, man, “We just want balance and consistency. That’s it. I see ‘Bron shooting four free throws, and the amount of times that he attacked the rim, the amount of times he was slapped on the arm, which I could see plain as day, for that not to be called? Man, he’s not flopping. I’m watching him go to the hole strong.”
LeBron also spoke out about the officiating on Monday.
“I’m going over to [the officials] respectfully and telling them what’s going on in the plays, and I consistently go to the line three or four times a game. Sometimes not even at all, which is weird, “So, just got to keep driving, keep putting pressure on the rim and see if it turns.”
According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the Lakers have contacted the NBA about missed foul calls on LeBron.

The Los Angeles Lakers contacted the NBA league office Tuesday about what they view as numerous missed foul calls in Monday’s 108-107 loss to the Miami Heat, sources told ESPN.
The Lakers’ main point of contention is how LeBron James was officiated, according to sources. The Lakers shared various clips showing what they believe to be clear illegal contact by Heat defenders against James that went unnoticed by the referees.
Complaining to the NBA about the refs after only seven games into the season has to be some sort of record for LeBron and the Lakers.
