The Finals: Lakers vs Heat 4-2 LAL Wins 2019-2020 Championship!!!

Post #921 » by **Kilroy** » Sat Oct 10, 2020 3:50 am

Kuz and Morris... Vogel loves them but they are total liabilities on Defense... And most of the time on Offense too. How many rebounds does Morris get a game anyway?

Spo has changed things up each game and found ways to be competitive, Vogel is sticking with the same essential lineup that has kept the game risky-close for the last 4 games... We need to try some new ****, or we may be facing a game 7.

Somebody needs to find me a remotely reasonable explanation of what markieff was doing on D on that last play besides throwing the game. Don’t put that scrub on the court

Morris, in 23min, managed to go for 0 points, 1 rebound, 3 **** turnovers and 4 **** fouls.

Caruso is getting exposed too... Somehow the heat have figured out how to draw fouls on him when no other team has... And he can't shoot for ****...

If we can't get more offensive production from AD, Kuz, Morris, and Rondo, we're pretty much **** if this is the best defense we can play.

If AD and LeBron are still recovering from this game on Sunday, we're also ****...

Caruso in the post was such a dumbass call out of a timeout, but still should be overshadowed by the final 21 seconds of markieff Morris. Send that guy home. Straight up threw the game

Also **** Frank for playing him at that point because he was already utter garbage and shouldn’t have been there

I think I would have had Smith in instead of Morris on those plays... He's not much worse on Defense, and at least will take and make the occasional 3...

This just wasn't our night though... Our Defense was stupid and they were hitting all their shots...

Just another thing though... LeBron out there yelling at his team-mates after every play is just a terrible look... That's some **** leadership...

He seems prone to the whole, I'm carrying your ass, now step up mentality in big games and it's such a huge departure from his regular season grab-assery that I think it's **** up the chemistry on this team.

This loss is really unacceptable. This team really needs a reality check. Whether it's Howard with the stupid over aggressive plays giving up points, LeBron missing free throws. Kcp and Caruso getting tangled up and giving up a three. Just to many stupid plays from a team one win away from a championship.

The way these **** lost is irritating. You're 1 point away from winning the title and you let them win it. That's why I don't see the championship mentality on this team. Too many clowns on the roster...

So who's the underdog for game 6? I'm not entirely sure we come back from this loss...

I'm pissed but if there's one thing this team has shown is that it can bounce back from a loss.

Sunday needs to be a lot better from just about everyone.
- Play defense.
- Run some plays on offense instead of dribbling down the clock and trying to get bailed out by 3s
- Rondo, Kuz, Green, Caruso need to step up. Fast.
- Cut Morris right away.

Keys to the game right there. We had no production from anyone beyond our top 3 and we barely got defensive stops until halfway in the third quarter.

I want to see effort, tenacity, grit and fire next game. I want to see emotion. This isn’t some Tuesday night road game against the Hornets. Play like it’s the **** NBA finals and you’re within spitting distance of the trophy.

Ok, but they made the exact same mistakes they made the last 2 games... There seems to be no answer for Butler... Hero and that other goofy white dude seem to be able to get open at will...
If they didn't get it right tonight, how can anyone think they have a clue how to get it right next game?

I think we need to go back to our Reg Season rotation to start the game too... Get McGee in for Dwight and try to get out and run... If it only works for 5-6 mins, I think it's still worth it to change things up a bit... Hell, tell McGee to put Bam on the line 5 times in a row if you have too... We need to change things up... Miami has us dialed right now.

If AD's ankle balloons up tomorrow i'm resting him for game 6 and taking my chances in game 7. Sucks to say it, but we need him mobile.

We lost the game on getting out hustled for the majority of the game and letting Duncan Robinson go off. He got open multiple times, that just can't happen.

We have to make adjustments. Even with how well the Heat played tonight ,it was Morris our own player who costs us the game. Just clean up the foolishness like Howard wacking butler for nothing and the Heat getting 5 points from it. Hopefully Ad's ankle is cool. LeBron's missed free throws hurt us too, then missed assignments all night long. I can live with Jimmy getting his, but allowing him to get 10+ assists is unacceptable.

We're missing Bradley right now, if nothing else I believe he would make it hard on Duncan Robinson

If we lose this series..we will be more humiliated than the hobos and their dum fans

EggIsCooling · Post #940 » by **EggIsCooling** » Sat Oct 10, 2020 4:15 am

Green had gator arms on that shot and Morris had a panic attack... two players you least want to touch the ball ended up touching the ball. Only can go up from here. You can either be like the Clippers and folded or man up. Lakers are in a dog fight now. The trainer staffs better be taking care of AD’s ankle starting tonight until 4:30pm Sunday Pacific Time. It’s a grind now mofos!!!

Who Will Win?
