Just peeped the heat got players hurt.
we that physical?
Dwight setting that tone
Bam was being a dumbass the whole game with the jumping over the back shyt he has to learn to box out or just get into a better position to defend who gets the rebound the refs could’ve called him on that often. Against other teams he could get away with that but doing that to Howard is going to fukk his body up because Howard’s shoulders are like granite. Certain dudes in the NBA built different different

Wtf u talkin bout? Ya Bish
props from me to him for that too. Thats something ty lue almost never did during bron run with the cavs. Thats why i nvr understand when analyst say hes a good coach. I remember watching those series and how he wouldnt change a damn thing no matter what. Bron needed a coach like vogel during these years when he's not gonna be able to carry like he used to.

It’s a shame to see Bam, Dragic, and Butler all get injured. This Lakers team was going to be hard to beat with the Heat at full strength so their best players missing games or being limited isn’t going to help.
What I find amazing is how this Lakers team has turned into a juggernaut. At the start of the season I don’t think many (including some Laker fans) were expecting this team to be so dominant by the time of the postseason. They are absolutely walking through teams. Each team they’ve played they seem to figure out pretty quickly. It’s a well constructed team too. Bron and AD are clearly the stars but Dwight, Rondo, Caruso, Green, KCP, and Morris have all been excellent complimentary pieces.
It’s fukking incredible that Bron plays the way he does at this stage in his career. He’s still a legit top 5 player. This man is in his tenth Finals. Tenth. He gon ever fall off??

Spo has one option: let AD get 50 and stop helping off the shooters. Much better chance than leaving guys wide open for Bubble 3s.
Same with Lebron. He’s most dangerous when he’s drawing help. Make them beat you scoring. On AD you can double if he turns his back, but I’m not doubling or helping on a Lebron drive. If he can get 40-50 consistently at 35, so be it

The real question this series is who will win finals MVP Bron or AD
The overreactions after one game is crazy
That’s sports though
Dragic is done. Torn plantar fascia. Adebayo is also banged up. Heat have no answer for AD and he'll look like God every time he steps on the court. I had Lakers in 6 but I would not be surprised if they swept. Heat have no good way to cope with the Lakers size and length at all.

This is more or less what GS did to beat the Cavs for their last championship. Let Bron go off for 50 in game 1 attacking near every possession on his hero ball shyt... left him completely gassed by game 4. Spo trying the zone that worked against overrated good ol' boy Stevens in the ECF made some sense to start the series considering how streaky the Lakers shooters can sometimes be... but its clear now with how locked in that whole team is on top of the bubble environment naturally empowering wide open shooters that sticking to that strategy is going to get them burned. Might as well play Bron straight up, dare him to hog the ball and chase the FMVP glory and pray he gasses out in the process before the series is over. Hope you get a scenario like the 4th quarter of this game where Bron was getting layups but guys like Nunn were slowly whittling an insurmountable 30+ pt deficit into an almost manageable one. Far from ideal, but with Dragic out and Bam AND Jimmy hobbled any of your "ideal" scenarios and gameplans coming into the series are already out the window...
