CK4: The Team that made Pat & The Team that the Don made: The Miami Heat vs Your Boss Angeles Lakers

I think I saw Rondo stepped back like Harden

Size does matter against the Lakers, I hope the warriors are watching

The Rockets forced them small but they're literally the only team that can do it since all their little guys are so strong and athletic.

Lakers in 3 was meant to be a joke breh lol

 

[Sinnerman]

Brehs starting to lose focus

Warriors-Cavs 2018 and Lakers-Nets 2002 were the two most predictable Finals of my lifetime.

I forgot about Lakers Nets


warriors Cavs '18 more predictable than Warriors Cavs '15 it was Lebron James and Matthew Dellavadova against the West All Stars starting five

This is a fukking joke.

Topic for Discussion: After the Lakers win this chip, what will this mean for smaller line-ups going forward? Will the rest of the league start to switch, and "size up"?

Alot of us owe the Lakers an apology for thinking this small shyt was gonna be their achilles heel Analytics sold us a bag with no food in it

I don't think so. Lakers are just a really good team. AD can have an impact at the perimeter that not many other dudes his size can. He's a generational talent. And then obviously the lakers have Bron. Small ball is still going to be more efficient for most teams.

Nunn and Kelly starting. Crowder to the bench but still in rotation. Iggy and Tyler’s minutes have to be limited

 

[Kinguno]

Dwight fukked his back and shoulder on the Lakers came back early got hurt again also let’s not forget David Stern canceled the Chris Paul trade because of the lockout the next season we could’ve had the Lakers with Kobe, Dwight, and CP3 vs The Heat with Bron, Wade, and Bosh that alone wouldve saved the NBA post lockout and and limited the need for China but White people so racist

 

[Professor Emeritus]

This is huge for the Laker role player confidence. Heat certainly did not want them all hitting their shots right out of the gate. Because they have no plan to control AD/Bron without those guys continuing to get open shots.

If Laker shooters don't turn cold the Heat might not win a game.

Man the clips wouldn't of been getting mopped like this

 

[Kairi Irving]

dude stayed fit tho... many teams need to invite him to a pre season dea

He's just looking for another check

Remember when the cavs gave him a chance

 

[Teko]

A loss is a loss. 2pt loss is the same as 100pt. We're just down 0-1. We're shooting 37% fro the field, 35% from 3, the law of averages.

You are right but have a look at the playoff FG% for both teams in these playoffs and think about the context. The Heat are not too far off from where they should be given the Lakers defence. There is nowhere for Miami's hot shooters to hide and the Lakers are just too big for Miami . The hot shooting that got Miami a 13pt lead was about as much as they can do and they have to hope that the Lakers bench contributes nothing but thats not going to happen. Even Kuzma is going to roll well in this series
