AD, is too soft, always getting injured and whining about every injury ANNNND he's definitely not a #1...


Every time that dude falls down its like an Emmy performance in pain tolerance before he finally gets up. He's like the anti Oak when it comes to that.

I think Danny Green is getting a bum rap here. First, he's not having a good series. Second, you bring him cold off the bench to take the most important shot in the game? Please.

As a star two-way wing I had considered Jimmy a tier below Kawhi but Jimmy's leadership I think closes whatever gap that exists.

He was really close to beat Kawhi's ass last year, people seem to forget how good and clutch he was.

Yes Jimmy hit that game tying shot before Kawhi made that buzzer beater that bounced around the rim.

His shot was so short was really probably feeling the pressure.

Although as I had said before shooters usually stagger a bit when they receive LeBron’s passes. As great as LeBron’s passing is, for me Luka actually is a better passer when it comes to giving it to his shooters. Seems to always go straight to his teammates’ shooting pockets.

Happy to see the Lakers lose. That was LeBron's chance and he blew it.

He didn't want the last shot. if he did, he would've gone to the top of the key and run the clock down.

- Green was having a bad night.
- You obviously don't need a three in this situation.

It was nothing like the Jordan pass to Kerr, where the score was tied and that was the logical pass to make.

Damn, people really killing Danny Green that much for missing a 3?. I mean he was open but the pass was a little off so he had to slide and gather with Iggy closing hot. A shot he can make, but probably 45% of time at best? The screen shot was pretty deceiving as this points out

Morris's play was inexcusable and way worse

Talk about a war of attrition. That matchup between Butler and Lebron was epic but I was stumped as to why the Heat weren't trying to get the ball out of Lebron's hands the last 2 minutes of the game. They essentially allowed him to go one on one in every Laker sequence until the end when he had to pass the ball out to Green.

Danny has a very unusual form to his shot. It's shocking he didn't set his feet properly on that last shot given how open he was.

And great pass by Morris to absolutely no one at the very end. Very JR'esque of him.
