ESPN with no post game show for NBA finals..please at least let TNT have a pre and post game.
LIterally put up an inforgraphic of his stats out of every commercial break this playoffs "But I think we take him for granted all the time" - Mark Jackson this broadcastshyt like this is why so many can't stand Bron. Dude is one of the all-time greats but needs a self serving media apparatus gassing him up and gaslighting everyone on earth watching him play into thinking he's somehow underrated or unappreciated. Motherfukker you clowns appreciate and talk about him 24/7, shut the fukk up already
dudes were givin the same treatment to many of the all time greats. Why y'all so mad ?

Even with a healthy squad the Heat were in trouble, now with the injuries its all bad. It also got me thinking: Is the era of small ball in the league over for short term future if everyone trying to beat AD and Bron next couple of years and need size?

some of my overarching takeaways from this game:
Miami was getting the stuffing beat outta them with all their guys, pre-Dragic injury, and ended up down 32 in a game where LeBron played maybe a C- game. That isnt a positive omen at all, and now you have to adjust your lineups absent Dragic possibly the rest of the series, and possibly absent Bam...
Clearly Miami is in serious trouble, it would be easy to default to injuries as the main problem but it isn't. Miami is too small. Miami's bench got thoroughly outplayed until the 4thQ when the game was outta reach, by LA's bench. When Bam was in he was getting rocked on both sides, and I mentioned in G1 of the ECF that dude can go really, really ghost at times, so this wasn't surprising to me...
The zone was not effective with LA going nuclear from 3. The easy response is, well LA isn't gonna be that hot again---->maybe not but that discounts a few things. 1)LA being a "bad" 3point team has been exaggerated this postseason. They aren't a team of sharpshooters and are prone to 3point droughts but they shoot about the same as Miami, who has sharpshooters and yall swear is unbelievable behind the arc...
2)LA has more ways to beat you, so if they are beating you with the 3 and you relied on that as a weakness, you're in deep shyt. Because we know they can still slam you when the 3 isn't dropping. So the answer definitely isn't, "well we'll just be okay when they arent hitting from 3"...
Now, the injuries suck and put them further behind the wall than they already were, but remember this game got outta hand with all their horses. But we've watched the NBA, injuries have impacted Finals many, many times. In this one, Miami had a slim margin of error anyway, it was alwats gonna be hard for them to win the series but unless Nunn adequately fills Dragic's minutes, we'll probably see a series that coulda went 6 or 7 end in 4 or 5...
I love the fight Miami has and I know they will come in prepared for G2. They are in serious, serious trouble, though...

AD was the best player on the floor.
You saw how Bron easily controls the game even when he's not scoring.
So this is what it felt like to watch Magic and Kareem

Dudes just gotta find something to bytch about
Disney throwing $2.6 billion in this current TV deal has been bad for the NBA presentation wise.
ESPN is so fukking lazy.
