Laker solution to win is to injure Miami's stars

They were up 20 in the 2nd quarter with everyone healthy and Leking on the bench...

Miami's team is exploding

[LNS]

Mercy rule?

Getting really ugly now.

That didn't seem like the same Miami team I was watching the last couple of weeks.

This series could be short.

I didn’t want to come across like some arrogant homer, but I never understood the Miami/Boston hype and gave neither team much chance. I think the Bucks or even the Clippers could’ve potentially beaten the Lakers, but Miami and Boston seemed like a lesser version of Denver IMO.

And of course the series isn’t over, and Miami could still win the damned thing and make me eat shit, but I just don’t see it.

Bam tried to muscle into Dwight, and instead hit a brick wall and hurt himself.

It really wasn’t much fun to watch.

Miami isn't gonna win a game.

[Edit: I shut it off once the rout was on. Bam was injured, too? My basketball viewing might be done for 2020. Enjoy the title, Lakers/James fans.]

You used a [Note:] and an [Edit:] in the same post?



You do realize we have an edit button don't you.. I don't mind the "Notes" so much, I've gotten used to them and it's sorta your trademark writing/posting style but for the love of God if I ever see you use a [Note:] and an [Edit:] in the same post ever again I'll fucking sue you.

What an anti-climactic end to the playoffs. The Heat and Nuggets fucked us outta the most intriguing matchups.

I'd say it's more accurate to say the Clippers and Bucks fucked us out of the most intriguing matchups. They shit the bed.

I'm glad I'm not boycotting watching pro sports. That was a very entertaining game. As well as AD and LeBron played tonight, the Heat hung around the whole game. If the Lakers had played their "B" game, they would have lost.

Lakers played their B game defensively. Heat have no answer for Bron or AD. This is a blowout too if they don't send Miami to the line 34 times and aren't -21 from the FT line.

This is correct. I don’t think think their offensive game was all that great either.

The Lakers had a 136 offensive rating. That's off the charts good. Off the charts good.

Defensively, they weren't at their best but I'm going to give Miami credit there. They just were relentless and wouldn't give up.

No Bam really hurts Miami. He's the only hope for them to minimize the damage AD can do. Olynyk is overmatched. They even tried Butler and Crowder at different times.

How about a little context, the Lakers offense was average when you consider that they were going against a depleted Heat squad with a hobbled Butler, the Lakers should have had 120 by the 3rd quarter.

How about you stop getting triggered by me and admit you're an idiot.

I’m not triggered at all, I don’t know why you are though.

Your mind has gone to mush from debating TDK, take a few days off, you need the time to recover.
