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

[True Lakers Fan]

The Lakers are playing grind-it-out basketball because they look a little disjointed from Game 1. The Heat are hanging around right now. Should be an interesting second half.

I want to say the Lakers are in cruise control and playing soft, but common sense tells me the Lakers first game is not something that will happen more than once in a series. If the Lakers wants to win, they are going to have to work harder for it... Much harder

I’m not sure how long they can keep playing this zone

You do realize it's working right?

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers who aren't a great shooting team is on pace to shoot over 50+ 3's right now on a low %. Zone doing the job for the most part

Just got home......ho hum, the Lakers with a double digit lead......

Are you dumb?

Just because they're losing doesn't mean the zone isn't working.

The zone is forcing the lakers to shoot lot's of 3's and they're 9-26 at the moment

Has nothing to do about moral victories you clown. Watch the game

Lakers been settling for mostly 3's when Miami in the zone and they're shooting 9-26 from 3 which isn't good.

Lakers by 14, AD with 15...

 

[Shanemansj13]

They took a ton of 3’s and missed a ton. Still up big. Miami has to go away from that zone but Robinson and Herro are so awful defenders they dont have much of a choice

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lakers aren't playing very good and up by 14.

I mean, sure...

Lakers aren't playing very good and up by 14.

I mean, sure...

They're shooting 56%.

How is that not playing good?

 

[avalon2423]

Duncan's defense is terrible and he's not doing anything on the offense side to make up for it

Fuck yourself, do it

I would stick with it. KCP and Green are 2-10 from 3. Just can't allow the easy paint stuff when in zone. Let those guys shoot contested 3's and live with the results

Looks to me like they're slowly breaking that zone down, though. Guess we'll see how it goes...

Bam is sorely missed right now.

Yeah, we're in a catch 22. Both Herro and Robinson bring great offense, but crappy defense. Can't have both on the floor at the same time.
