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

[Black Adam]

Who's the bigger dumbbell- Skippy Brianless or Screamin' A. Smith?

Screamin' A's a sad case, too. but i'd say Brainless tops the list...

So is 52 year old Udonis Haslem's last year in the league? Had no idea he was on Miami's '06 title team. They will retire his number right?

They're definitely going to retire his number. Not sure if it's his last year in the league. I was of the mindset that they simply keep him on the roster to help make up for the money he sacrificed in order to bring Lebron and Bosh over way back in 2011.

17 from Kelly and Tyler was huge.

Leonard in his limited minutes looked damn good.

Meyers is a personal friend of mine, glad to see him get some action.

He was a huge part of our success in that 06 title. I still remember game 4 against the Nets. He was hitting some clutch shots

He's had a long career. I think it's great he's been able to spend it all with one team. Just don't see that anymore. Didn't he go undrafted?

Yes

If Bam is back then i would bench tyler and start Leonard next to Bam

 

[avalon2423]

If Bam comes back, Id like to see Kelly or Leonard play next to Bam. Sit Duncan when you do that. Hero can spread the d just as well as Duncan is.

 

[bksballer89]

I agree

Seems it's still up in the air. Article on nba.com from today- Goran Dragic, Bam Adebayo unsure of status for game 4

Says Bam's getting better but hasn't been cleared to play yet. And there's not a timetable for Dragic to return.

Yep. Things tend to equal out over time.
I’d love to see the Heat win a game, but regardless its been a great run, and our young players got some experience that money can’t buy.

You are welcome for that jinx. I'll see what I can do for you in game 4.

 

[dtgold88]

One of the best single game performances I've ever seen

For sure one of best ever for a guy not considered to be among best of the best.....I hope he can do it again.

 

[dtgold88]

Here is what I don't get about coaches

Coaches always act all gay when a player has 3-4 fouls. They then sit them for long periods of time, throws off the team and they usually end up losing anyways. I would let the guy play...Never understood that...They foul out they foul out...What good does sitting a guy and not fouling out only to lose anyways lol

Definitely perplexing.......you sit a guy automatically to avoid MAYBE losing him later?

I see both sides but I definitely think it's overkill at times. Because agreed...if you lose him for a long stretch you're basically subjecting yourself to what you're looking to avoid.

I loved how jimmy butler after he had a triple double gets asked how important it is to him to have it in the finals. And he says I only care that the team won. Loved that answer. What a class act.

Stephen A isn't bad...just loud lol

Skip takes are ridiculous

Dragic not playing. Bam seems more hopeful

Guessing when guys get upgraded from D to Q they usually play.
