Where you at @trojanfan12? Doing super secret mod stuff?

Dude, you know I rarely post during a game.

series is done if dragic is indeed done. He's been our most consistent offensive player in the playoffs

Here is hoping all of them are healthy and recover even if it means the Heat would win the series... Just saying

In all seriousness though, hope the Heat can get back healthy, though I very much doubt Dragic will get back. Sucks that we're gonna have back to back Finals with injuries.

I didn’t expect the Heat to win this series to begin with, but without Dragic there’s just no hope

Thanks rain man

He's an excellent driver.

Nunn played great when he was in so that’s a plus. Will just need to play Delly in the Finals minutes

Lakers in 6 tough games.

I doubt there will be any blowouts.

Do you have the power to redo this one ..lol

If I'm gonna be wrong, that's the way to do it.

Well to be fair, we all thought this game would be a little closer

Horrible

Goran is tough.....

 

[trojanfan12]

Lakers are just too big and Miami has to adjust to it now.

One of the commentators mentioned it. You can't recreate it in practice, so you have experience it and then adjust from there.

It's similar to Houston's speed. Have to see it, then adjust.

Spo's a great coach, he'll adjust and the Lakers will do well to hit 11 three's in full game again, let alone in a half.

I hope Dragic and Bam can come back and Jimmy isn't too hobbled or Spo's adjustments aren't likely too matter.

 

[trojanfan12]

Well fuck.

 

[trojanfan12]

Goran is tough.....

Might be good news. I've never had an injury like that, but I'd expect walking or even running is a straight line isn't the issue. It would be explosive moves, lateral cuts, etc.

So it'll probably come down to how much they can numb it up, whether or not playing can make it worse and pain tolerance.

They are saying Goran has not been ruled out for the final. I would be he is going to need some pain medication, unless his threshold for pain is stronger than what Kobe's was

No Bam and you'd have no hope. But with Nunn in place of Dragic, you might have a small amount left provided Nunn can play like he did back in the regular season, especially from like January until the stoppage. I realize he's basically been bumped out of the rotation in the playoffs because of age and inexperience, but maaaaaybe he can step up.

Are the Lakers really this good or were the Celtics really that bad?

Like I said elsewhere, in a playoff series one rule of thumb is team with best player on the floor wins. Well the Lakers have the two best players. Now Dragic is out. Looking like a short series, sadly.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

None of the above unless you expect the Lakers to have a 30 point lead every game this series.

It is called a series for a reason. This isn't march madness

You really don’t have it in you to give props to the Lakers, do you?

A lot of respect to Dragic and Bam and I hope they recover soon, but the Lakers had a 17 point lead at the half when both guys were still in the game.

How about saying the Lakers absolutely kicked their ass and the look like the best team in the league?

At what point to you give them any credit?
