They need to change the rules with Zone D..it cannot be that obvious and cannot be played for that long like it is a College game watching Syracuse. Nurse's Zones are never that long and much more sophisticated

Dragic as well.
LeBron looks like he'll win that 4th ring.

Had he beaten the Clippers then I would not have put an asterix on this title



This one is a double asterix. His other team stacking titles were single asterix.

How is this basketball the Heat are playing either gritty or tough?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Miami has 4 non-Euro white players on the floor together, just impossible to win at this level playing that way.

It puts the 90s in perspective, the Utah Jazz had 6 rotation players that fit that criteria in back-to-back Finals. It really makes me look at Jordan in a different light.

John Stockton is an original dream teamer....Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, well....... :-?
Additionally, Karl Malone is an all-time great...Jimmy Butler is a 3rd tier player

There's a reason the % of white Americans in the NBA has declined by nearly 30% in 30 years. As the talent search reached the international level, they were phased out.

Why? NBA teams generally don’t use zone defences because they don’t work effectively at this level (and they aren’t working in this series either). If Miami or anybody else wants to do it, I say go nuts.

Heat have shot 52/45/96 and are a plus 15 from the line. They have also won the turnover battle by 3. And are down 10. #no chance.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

These Lakers scrubs are literally missing every shot. Does Danny Green ever make anything?

2007 was way worse. The Spurs cheap-shoted their way their and the playoffs were over before the conference finals.
