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

[Black Adam]

Three and change. Gotta put more effort into closing time...

Heat's offense has been absolutely atrocious. Once our defense gets settled, offense goes to crap.

 

[bksballer89]

They really arent, the Lakers just slacking

And the Heat aren't? What game are you watching?

Both teams are playing crappy basketball in this quarter if we're being honest

 

[Heatles84]

I kind of believe that they will. I think Riley kept them out and decided to eat this game in hopes for a better finish.. The Heat have played well really.. The Lakers simply have more

Yup. A combo of AD and Lebron is pretty difficult to overcome.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Well gents. I gotta run. Later...

Have a great evening

 

[Black Adam]

And I think that'll do it...

 

[Heatles84]

Damn, Olynk. You really couldn't box out?

 

[Heatles84]

You're not going to win a game against anyone giving up 16 offensive rebounds. Especially the Lakers.

 

[bksballer89]

Mark Jackson really is a bad commentator. It is nothing to do about being finesse.

Rebounding in a zone is hard because hard to find a guy to put a body on as you're defending a part of the court instead of a man

I think the Heat played great for their talent.. That 12 point lead is nothing even with 2 minutes left in the game...

bk, you and I need to compile all of our posts when people start complaining that Jackson gets overlooked for HC jobs.

Yeah, those O boards are a big part of what hurt the Heat...


Bam definitely needed...

 

[DJ]

Well, they tried.....and gave a great effort.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Okay, this game is over now

Lakers s/u
Lakers - the points
the over

Nailed all 3.

Keep telling y'all the Heat can scrap...

True on that. But without Dragic and Bam, Miami had a chance in the 4th. We went cold from the offensive side. Can't blame injuries on this one, we just lost. Straight up.

Yeah got to take the good with the bad when it come to the zone.

The good was forcing the Lakers to attempt 47 threes. The bad is allowing nearly 20 offensive rebounds.

Would like to see less zone and more man with more doubles towards AD

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Yup. A combo of AD and Lebron is pretty difficult to overcome.

You know, from the beginning I wanted and hoping the Lakers would get Anthony Davis.. I liked Leonard but thought AD would be a better fit, wasn't really that impressed with Paul George. AD and LJ has definitely been better than I expected and I appreciate The Clippers choking for us

Who hoo, won 500 on a bet on the Lakers win
