Fuck yourself, do it

Crazy thing is I didn't say anything bad. All I said is the zone been good as it mostly been doing what Miami want it to do. Have the Lakers shoot 3's

Has nothing to do about moral victories you clown. Watch the game

Lakers been settling for mostly 3's when Miami in the zone and they're shooting 9-26 from 3 which isn't good.

The Lakers are up 14......LOL.

 

[DJ]

They took a ton of 3’s and missed a ton. Still up big. Miami has to go away from that zone but Robinson and Herro are so awful defenders they dont have much of a choice

Miami fans are into moral victories.....they just don't wanna lose by 20-30 and be totally embarrassed.

They're shooting 56%.

How is that not playing good?

Sloppy turnovers

It's really our only chance. Can't play man-to-man with Lebron on the court. Can't go heavy on the perimeter because the Lakers can then go through AD/Dwight.

Looks to me like they're slowly breaking that zone down, though. Guess we'll see how it goes...

The more you see the zone and that's the end result but I get why they're doing it. When you start allowing stuff at the rim is when you get out of the zone ASAP 3's are fine. It is the point of the zone.

Please show the moral victory in this thread. And what's their to be embarrassed about exactly? We're without Dragic and Bam. You think the Lakers would be in this position if you were missing one of AD and Lebron?

We'll accept the loss because in the end, injuries happen in sports. Don't start acting like a cvnt though.

Can't play much man when AD on the floor either. THe zone kinda force the ball out his hands because soon as he catch it in the middle of the zone, he almost instantly must pass. They could play man with Bron on the floor and no AD but they would have to be committed to very minimum switching.

I would stick with it. KCP and Green are 2-10 from 3. Just can't allow the easy paint stuff when in zone. Let those guys shoot contested 3's and live with the results

Problem is most of them are not contested. It’s going to balance out at some point but like I said, Robinson and Herro cannot guard anyone so a zone is the right move bc it’s the only move

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Are you dumb?

Just because they're losing doesn't mean the zone isn't working.

The zone is forcing the lakers to shoot lot's of 3's and they're 9-26 at the moment

In last few minutes, the analyst noted the Lakers had figured it out and was starting to get their shots which is the reason the Lakers went up by 14 instead of 7

The guy is a fking clown. I said the zone doing what it should do and that turned into a moral victory post? LOL. DJ knows nothing about basketball....very low basketball IQ

We just have to hope and pray at this point.

I would go with Nunn over Robinson to start the 2nd half. Duncan been very bad through 6 quarters of the finals. Nunn was good in garbage minutes end of g1 and solid tonight. Unfortunate that he got called for 2 weak fouls that put him in foul trouble

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Lakers aren't playing very good and up by 14.

I mean, sure...

The Lakers have not played their best game and to me are cruising instead of giving it their best.... If they want to believe that the Zone is working then I guess that means without it the Lakers would be up by 30?... Okayyyyyy

That's why their lead increased......right?

 

[bksballer89]

Another big is clearly a need imo

Yeah, get mad and resort to insults......you're all sorts of triggered.

Did i say every possession in the zone was great? Did i say the Lakers didn't score a point in the zone?

The zone is designed to force the team to outside perimeter shots with the intent of keeping the Lakers out of the paint.
