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

Why is Howard not getting any minutes? It's weird, they won the first 2 games by going big and dominating them...And then go away from that strategy in game 3 and 4....Maybe he's injured or something

 

[Wamu]

Way too many mistakes...

LeBron didn' t have the first half I was expecting.

 

[Black Adam]

Yup. And Lakers on the other hand are hitting theirs

Meh, clanked a grip of them, too...

 

[lebron23james]

You know who would be a better combo?


























Screamin' A. Smith & Colin Cowturd.

It's better than Reggie miller Chris Webber...They are hands down the worst announcers imho

I think the Lakers have figured-out that when the defense is this tough, AD and LeBron can not do it alone.

Well yeah...I think the whole story of the playoffs has been that those two can't win it alone. To get wins a third name has to step up, whether it's Rondo or KCP or whomever.

I'll turn off the sound first...

Reggie's good. C.Web is just awful though.

 

[lebron23james]

Reggie's good. C.Web is just awful though.

My favorite was when he freaked out when they asked him about taking an extra timeout...When Blatt tried to call an extra timeout lol

He was legit mad, but yea reggie is decent

LBJ has to drive the basket and dunk the damn ball. Quit the finesse stuff or passing back out to players like KCP who is just have a cold night shooting. LBJ has to exert his will by becoming aggressive and ceasing all the ref whining.

no they didn’t.

Howard played very sparingly the first 2 games. Started both halves, played a few minutes then sat the rest of the way.

He doesn’t have a great matchup defensively, and with him out they can put 3 shooters around LeBron and AD.

Morris has been fantastic this series. He needs to play most of the 5 minutes.

They’re shooting 44 percent on 3s. I’d take that. We’re shooting under 30 percent

I expect them to win this game, but the ball movement and players standing around is a bad look

Vogal needs to try some new players that don't want to just stand around

Moris sucks and gets very few rebounds and shoots a low %...I would go Howard

 

[msgkings322]

The thing to remember is, the Lakers are favored and all but it's not like they are the 2017 Warriors. Every team this year had a flaw or two. It's not impossible for them to lose.

 

[Retroram52]

Green just sucks tonight.

 

[Black Adam]

Lakers need to attack the basket more...

 

[bksballer89]

Crowder need to stop shooting

 

[Black Adam]

Also need to pick up the pace...

 

[Retroram52]

At least Morris is hitting threes.

 

[Retroram52]

James continues to be out-of-sync. Don't know why he has these types of games.
