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

[GNG]

no doubt he's in the discussion. And, yes, that includes Pop.

Pop was good once but he is past his prime.

Damn... you like to rub it in, bks.

In fairness, I was right about the Heat's need to play a zone... I just didn't envision it being as effective as it was for significant stretches... Spo did a heck of a job coaching, and the Heat are obviously a tough-minded team that outplayed the Celtics especially in the clutch, when it mattered most.

If only you still had Baynes.

I kid......tough series for them (and, yeah, not like they were blown away). Not sure, but guessing they still have the future assets to make another run. Maybe hayward or walker needs to be moves....but maybe not.

how'd both these team's make it to the finals anyhow? We all know WiggityWack's a basketball sage around here...

he couldn't possibly have been wrong...

If he ever returns, which I doubt, he'll just say it's a bullshit title because of the bubble

bks thinks he's a better coach than Spo

I don't think he'll have the backbone to show up during the Finals. But like I said yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up after everything's over so he can bash whichever team loses.

He'll bash whichever team wins too

I would think nobody would be dumb enough to try and say this years title is invlaid/diminished because of the bubble. But we are talking about wiggy. So anything's possible.

I hear ya....would love to get fans in the stands for the Tribe/Yankee series (realize a WC round not quite NBA Finals)....but just glad we got a season and get to see the playoffs.

NASCAR and the NFL are beginning to allow fans into the arenas. The NBA should do the same.

At this point there are only max 7 games left and all scheduled to be in the bubble. Why start now? Just wait until next season, see where we are at that point.

All those sports are outside. NBA is inside. HUGE DIFFERENCE

Heat in 7

You don't seriously expect Heat fans to predict their team to lose in the finals right?

So, you're up for a wager?

He might...but so have others which I think is absurd.

I don't think there is any way NBA risks it. They have had 0 cases and they are going to risk having fans near the players in the Finals?

There's really nothing you can take from games in early November and December of 2019. The Heat aren't the team they were and obviously made roster changes.. im sure the same can be said for the Lakers

Exactly. You gotta love Laker homers.

BOOM.

 

[DJ]

@bksballer89, @Heatles84, @TurnUpTheHeat surely 1 of you have the confidence to bet on the series.....?????

Ah, you know WiggityWack and his bullshit... Errr, lawyer-ese...

this cat ALWAYS looking for a bet...
