Series Thread: NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat

[bksballer89]

Yup. We'll see what Herro and Bam's attitudes are in terms of getting better. There's tape out there on what they can do to improve. Both have the potential of being all-star level players - that's the difference in this series right now.

I'm not worried about that at all. Bam has gotten better and added something to his game every single year. Don't see why that stops. As for Herro, he's a rookie and can and will only get better. The Heat asked him on the fly in the bubble to become a primary ball handler. He'll look much better as a PG next season

Ya, if you told me the Heat would finish just short of 2 wins of a title, given that everyone had us missing the playoffs I'd be all for it.

This is why I typically like the NBA and NHL playoffs. Without a doubt, you know the best team won.

This isnt over yet... But at this time last game, i was expecting the Lakers to lose. They playing great tonight

Hey, buddy....

Bam needs to sit

 

[DJ Fieri]

It will be interesting what both rosters look like at the beginning of next season

Yep.

 

[avalon2423]

. This is a bloodbath and going out this way hurts

 

[bksballer89]

Bam needs to sit

They're all playing Bam. This isn't a Bam thing

 

[bksballer89]

That's the shot Bam needs to be more confident in and shoot more frequently next year. If he gets that then the Heat becomes much harder to guard.

As Ethan been saying for weeks now, this is the floor for this era of Heat basketball. It should only get better from here

 

[DJ Fieri]

What's their salary cap situation like?

Well this is obviously over so congrats to the Lakers fans who I don't find very annoying @trojanfan12 @ChiefsLakers67 @Kold @Lakers+USC=#1 @Shaqdaddy11

Listen to MARK JACKSON trying to devalue the job of Vogel.
He is suggesting that any coach can win with talent.

I don't think Vogel is some genius, or he has a ton to do with this title....
but that is some next level hypocrisy.

Jackson could not get out of the first round with Curry+Thompson+Green and a loaded roster of depth.

Is this the biggest blowout in a finals game winner?

BKS, Heatles, and muh man TurnUp. your guys made this thing VERY interesting and you got a team that never says die. I fully expect to see the Heat back in the finals next season because imo there's nowhere for y'all to go but up. respect...

Congrats to all of you guys as well. Been a long decade, but the wait is just about over.

 

[bksballer89]

If the Heat were going to lose, I prefer it this way instead of a close battle like the past 4 games been
