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

[Admiral Ackbar]

Markieff has been a perfect fit as a stretch big. Shooting 45% from 3. Was huge in the HOU series.
Playoff Rondo is doing Playoff Rondo things. Also shooting 45% from 3.
KCP hitting 3's at almost 40% a clip.
Caruso has been a pest defensively and has been effective cutting off double teams.
Dwight's been impactful in every series besides HOU.

Green and Kuzma are the two who have been inconsistent in the playoffs.

But as a group, they've complimented AD/Bron damn near perfectly. And none of them are a liability on defense to the point where a team tries to exploit them on D like you would a Lou Williams, or Duncan Robinson.

exactly.

this team isn't stacked like a super team, but it's probably the most versatile roster in the entire league. Lakers can go small ball, tall, fast, whatever Vogel wants.

The Lakers are definitely a super team, well, certainly in the general sense. They've got two top-10 players and depth/experience at every position.

 

[Wild self]

If there was any game Miami’s was going to win, it should of been this one.

And if LA wins tonight, again, the Heat might as well hang it up.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Folks were just saying Jokic is the best big man in the league last series

and were wrong

 

[Lakerman0834]

lol at revisionist history. EVERYONE clowned the lakers roster in July but now we have elite role players????

Isn't that in fact more stacked/super than a squad that is looking to 3 dudes for everything? People get caught up in PPGs on shytty teams and fail to consider how players must fit, there is only one ball, and the fact that there are 2 ends of the court. The Bron and AD combo by itself is special. Then on top of that, they have everything they need around them save knockdown shooting. People really slept on all these dudes before the season. All I saw was Bron, AD and a bunch of dudes with experience and IQ that play D and know their role. I thought they would shoot better but honestly if they did it would just be unfair to the league.

It should be but dumb ass media changed the meaning of stacked. So they dug their own grave they said this team was trash although constructed brilliantly, while clippers were just an individuals

 

[FTBS]

Not sure what more one could expect from Jimmy. This ain't 2K and he ain't Jordan AND he's severely overmatched. People really think this guy is gonna go out and drop 40+ on the best, most versatile defense in the league with a couple rookies as his back up?

Breh I been confused since last summer. But it was one thing for people to be talking that shyt then. We saw their brilliance on display all season and people just kept parroting the same shyt.

This is disingenuous.

Every player on every team is discredited in some manner. I mean some of those labels (fragile and goofy) don't really disprove them being a super team.

Who are these people?

Because if it's just the same talking heads and the generality of people finding fault in every team, well then......
