Solid win. Jimmy Buckets bringing the Heat!

This Heat team is relentless and doesn’t quit, really likeable team.

Feel like Herro is the weak link on the team, he’s horrible defensively and has the worst plus minus on the team by far.

Robinson>Dunn>Herro

I wish Wade haddn't done the whole last dance thing last year, would have loved to see em vs Bron in the finals, even if it was off the bench, but at the same time, the team is what it is because he's not here, people would defer to him. God I miss Wade.

Gm1: Davis, Fitzgerald, Tiven.
Gm2: Capers, Guthrie, Lewis.
Gm3: Foster, Brothers, Fraher.
Gm4: Zarba, Goble, Brown.

If It's a Home team win (Lakers) i predict: Foster+Brothers combo. These two are combined 13-11 for Home team these PO's. Are 3-0 for Home team since Con. Finals. & 1-0 for Home team in NBA Finals. Flawless for the home team since Con finals!

If it's a Road team win (Miami) i predict: Capers+Guthrie combo. They are a combined 11-22 for Road team these PO's. Are 3-0 for Road team since Con. Finals. & 1-0 for Road team in NBA Finals. Again, Flawless for Road team since Con finals.

Home LAL win: Foster+Brothers

Road MIA win: Capers+Guthrie

Alternative

MIA win: Davis+Fitzgerald

For what it's worth i wager on NBA. Here's my record.

18-5 Playoffs
7-0 Streak
7-1 NBA Finals
9-3 Con. Finals

I'm hitting quite a good % & base some of my plays w/ officiating crew stats in mind

Ref crew today are Davis + Fitzgerald + Lewis

How you like them apples

When the Lakers caught up and took the lead in the 4th, most teams would have folded. Saw this in the Boston series too ... no one gets scared or puts their heads down. They just go to work and keep grinding. Love this team!!

That was key moment right there. That was another KCP 3 in transition, very similar to the corner pocket one in gm4 that killed us. We learned from that very experience. We didn't get discouraged. We put our heads down & stayed grinding. In that very moment when we overcome it.....our team developed even more mental toughness.

KCP was huffing & puffing after that shot & La were celebrating like they'd won it. It only put them up by 1pt :lol:

In contrast once we won that hard fought game none of us celebrated or jumped up and down, high fiving one another like we had just won a championship. We simply walked back to the locker room. We handle ourselves like absolute badass professionals under pressure & during victories.

SportsIllustrated are taking the piss with this one. LeBron needs help? Bro, please. He has Anthony Davis. We don’t even have our third best player in Dragic, and our 2nd best guy is carrying an injury.

Lebron got plenty of help in Game 4 with KCP sinking big shots, the driving layup, and then AD with the dagger 3 at the end.

Don’t give me this chit.

Rock Hardy · Post #1371 » by **Rock Hardy** » Sat Oct 10, 2020 8:30 am

What a win! When facing elimination, all I want the guys to do is compete. Go out guns blazing. No ragrets. They did that. Met the Lebron game with the DRob game. Another Jimbo Big Bucket Trip-Dub. Bam helping to limit the damage on the defensive glass. The rookies showing no fear. Jae with big minutes. Iggy with some key defensive plays. **** 300, we got 7 goons risking it all out there.

I missed the game, but caught the extended full-game highlights. Too much Friday night for me to wake up at 8am. I'm happy we got the W, so we can fight another day. Season 1 of the Jimmy Butler Experience deserves a 7-game final act. What a team. Lets go HEAT!

This was also several headlines during Heat's Big-3 era. Ridiculous when you think about a team that has Wade+Bosh+Lebron needing more help :-?

It again follows Lebron. They're not #1 in the West for no reason. This is just indicative of Lebron's lack of toughness, He can't do it on his own which is why he needs to stack his squads. Jordan wld have taken the last shot today than give it up to a player like Green who's been inconsistent all series. You're going to make him win you a championship? If you were the GOAT this series wld have been over already. I mean we're not even a complete team for gods sakes

carnageta · Post #1373 » by **carnageta** » Sat Oct 10, 2020 8:44 am

Remember when “TJ Warren is Jimmy Butler’s rival” was a thing?

And now the guy is going toe to toe with Lebron in the finals.

Yep, we need 100% health Bam and 100% health Dragic. We not going to ever have that. And we need a mulligan for those games we lost without them. But nope, its lebron that needs more help. They wrote the same dumb story when Lebron was in cleveland with kyrie and love.

That Jimmy fadeaway on the 4th would be a good poster beside Wade's 06 fadeaway vs the mavs.

The fish rots from the head down.

Leaders blaming & complaining about refs/calls. It's no wonder the rest of the Lakers relentlessly complain. Even throughout the playoffs when their getting everything from officiating they still whining. This isn't how true champions conduct themselves. Vogel needs to be a better leader for this team. Lebron does enough complaining to influence the rest of the team. Coach needs to show some class.

Vogel was no different in Indiana, so it’s not a surprise. He doesn’t have a lot of tact or class. I don’t see how he can honestly argue those fouls. They were clear as day.

Had to have a laugh at him talking about verticality, for old times sake. FOH Frank.
