Interesting sequence.

Here we go again. LBJ with the pass instead of the shot. Right basketball play. Wrong mindset? Idk

2013 CSFMB ROY

Rondo was awful and Nunn decided to show up after 5 months.

Lakers have 2 chances for a third guy to show up.

AD is getting torched for having pain. I don't get it. Feet are pretty important. Ask Dragic.

Let's not forget Bam has missed some time and Dragic been out most of the series and Herro has been shooting like shit

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

I think it was the right play.

At the same time, when watching it in real time, I thought Lebron should have attempted a shot simply because he’s such a beast and in that moment most likely could have drawn a foul and got to the line.

Lebron is really damned if he does damned if he doesn’t in a way no other athlete has ever been.

The only knock on Lebron I think his valid is the criticism over how much he cries over nearly every foul call. It’s really, really bad and incredibly annoying.

that's a great play and the desired result (defense all down near the rim, wide open shooters ringing the perimeter) if'n ur the Heat with Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro waiting to take and make the open 3. Not what you should draw up when you're the Lakers with question marks 3 through 8. Vogel and Hollins are defensive gurus, not so much for the offense/calling set plays. Hollins was the most defense first HC in the league in the last 20 years other than Thibs. Spoelstra's adjustments (harass and double AD and live with LeBron going off) have worked. Vogel could use Avery Bradley to help shut down the Heat's perimeter guys. But if JB continues to be the MVP and Robinson/Herro keep playing like a JV Klay/Steph, Heat will be tough to put down.

Lebron made the correct play. You have a 3 point shooter wide open at the top. Paxson or Kerr make that.

Yes, Jordan willed his teammates to make those shots because he bullied them in practice. LeBron just will never have that killer instinct.

_________________

You can’t will another play to make a random shot.

You can't will another poster to understand meatball Jordan sarcasm, but here we are.

You think the Lakers have the battles in practice the Bulls had? I mean, you make the shot or you don't, but that shot was a total choke.

Nothing you just said has anything to do with what I said.

I can’t tell most of you posters from the other but that’s kinda your thing if memory serves. Typing irrelevant shit, that is.

Fair enough.

Then scroll by it until you find someone relevant. This shit's simple.

I prefer to talk shit.

My lord the Lakers cry on every single play.

Was that Rondo taking Butler off the dribble? Nice.

Where was this game when I lost a shit ton of cash in Games 3 and 5? Fuckin pisses me off.

as long as Lebron wins the MVP it's ok.

Anthony Davis is NOT the fucking MVP of this series.

_________________

Let's see if JR Smith can get into the game.

He hit a 3 in Game 1 blowout.

Let him get a taste of his 2nd title.

LeBron back in July: "I need JR Smith for the bubble run"

Pelinka: "JR? JR hasn't played since 2018 and he was 2 years washed then"

LeBron:

so when does next season start ?

Owners saying that don't wanna bubble again, they want to wait until they can have fans in the stands. So prolly not earlier than post-Super Bowl.

Seems like this really moved the meters.

Makes sense

right now its looking like late January or maybe even MLK day, but who really knows at this point.

I’m going to guess another abbreviated maybe 50-60 game season from about the end of February to the end of July.

This allows them to get just about back to normal for 21-22 season.
