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

[DJ]

Worst playoffs Ive ever seen. These teams SUCK

Okay @droider......

 

[Black Adam]

Well, thats a wrap

Nah, Miami's a fight back type of squad. I doubt they got this far not to play their assets off...

 

[Retroram52]

James, ADP, and Green along with KCP, Caruso, Kuzma, and Morris are doing everything right in the Lakers' version of smallball. McGee and Howard can take the night-off because they just are needed in this game scenario.

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

They defended extremely well early. Lakers have been able to break them down ever since they went smaller.

Spo disappointing me. I thought Kelly would be back in the rotation. He is much better than Solomon Hill. I understood Hill in the Boston series but he doesn't deserve to play vs the Lakers.

Lebron always makes jimmy Butler his bitch lol

 

[Retroram52]

That 30-point turnaround in Quarter 2 started with defense and hitting the three. 11 for 17 is very D'Antoni-esque.

 

[DJ]

James hasn't even been needed much on offense tonight.....

With James mostly on the bench too

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers playing outside-in with 65% from the three stripe. Paul Pierce. Good grief.

Can’t count the Heat out just yet. The bastards are sneaky. Lakers take the foot off the gas and they’re right back in the game

 

[bksballer89]

Heat going to get swept if Spo think this 7.5 rotation he used in the last 3 games vs the Boston series will work.

Go back to a 9 man rotation. DJJ and KO should get consistent minutes and Solomon Hill should go back to DNP-CD

 

[PPhan]

Nunn, and Olynyk should get sone playing time imo. Nunn hasn’t looked good since coming back, but he’d be helping a lot more than Solomon Hill

 

[Retroram52]

I am quite sure Vogel and LeBron are going to remind everyone in the locker room about not letting the Heat back in this game.

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers 55-25 run after 23-10 start from Miami

Great to see you pass elementary math!!!!

Lakers aren’t going to shoot 50% from 3, let alone 65% again.

Heat can make this a game still. And the people calling for a Lakers sweep are very premature.

 

[Retroram52]

If the Lakers stick to their D, it will open everything else-up for them. Then it is a matter of knockin'em down.

Yeah that's true. I just don't know what Solomon Hill brings to table outside of not being a terrible defender. He is basically invisible on offense so it is the equivalent of playing 4 on 5. Can't just throw him out there for 8 minutes in a game if he's doing nothing

 

[bksballer89]

Got to find someway to get Duncan involved

 

[Retroram52]

What the hell happened to Rachel Nichols? She looks like she has been eating a whole bunch of food and just hangin-out.
