It's funny watching Lebron turn off the switch as soon as he thinks he isn't going to win. All the other great players fought until the end.

I think we've finally seen LeBron's sunset. Even if he plays all of next season, it's been a hell of a career.

At least the Jokic haters had a couple quarters to enjoy themselves. Maybe we'll see them again if Jomic has a bad half in a few games

Centre as the ball handler and PG setting the pick will always be weird to see.

Lakers definitely should do some load management in game 4, get a moral victory, get ready for game five.

Sweep incoming.
Being down 0-3 is demoralizing, they're gonna play game 4 already defeated

Miami versus Denver is going to be an absolute ratings nightmare for the NBA.

1999. Spoiler alert: It didn't go well for the 8 seed


Denver will steamroll Miami, talent gap is even bigger than this series

In the end the real finals was vs Phoenix

How can they be up 20 with their MVP playing like a scrub? lol


24-6-8.

Man what a scrub :lol:

He was trash in this game but he contributed in the 4th at least.

Classic Lebron running to the tunnel before the buzzer sounds.
