Melo. Professional scorer.

The team defense has really taken a positive step forward in past few games.

Edit of course as I say this it turns to ****

Ellington's makes don't even move the net :lol:

imo it was poop from the start. Heat were jittery rushing shots or overplaying their advantage. Even after they started carving the Lakers D you could still see the uncertainty. On the possessions they've executed it hasn't even been close how well their shot creation completely dismantled the Lakers defense. They hit 9 straight shots to end the quarter and it honestly still looks like they haven't hit their stride.

Lakers are ridiculously hard to stop on offense though.

edit aaand Westbrook throws the ball to AD's defender again. This guy played so well in the first half but once again turns to an idiot against adjustments,

If they stop turning it over every other possession they can have a great offense. Too bad that'll never happen with Westbrook running the show.

The offense is better without a PG than it is with Westbrook playing :lol:

That was a pretty nice offensive lineup around AD before Russ came back in, Monk, Ellington, Bazemore, Melo and AD. LeBron in that lineup instead of Bazemore and that seems pretty unguardable

No idea why Caleb Martin thought that would work... :lol:

Dwight commits the most obvious fouls and then looks perplexed.

With James and even Westbrook in there instead of Ellington produced some great offense. Not sure they could defend well enough though Monk has been better defensively than in the past. Now just imagine having Caruso in there… :banghead:

27-12 deficit in free-throws makes it tough to win any game. Westbrook outside of the turnovers has been better. If he can cut down on these and stop bricking 18 footers, Lakers could have something. Coming into tonight, the Lakers led the league in highest % of shots taken from 16ft—3P.

Great 4th quarter from Russ

Post #754 » by **Fadeaway_J** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:39 am

Putback dunk from P.J. Tucker huh? That might as well happen I guess.

trickshot · Post #755 » by **trickshot** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:39 am

Westbrook is actually closing this thing out. Doing it perfectly too.

Post #756 » by **Fadeaway_J** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:41 am

The **** was that final play? :-?

MisterHibachi · Post #757 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:42 am

Russ completely blew up that play just to take an awful shot lmao.

AD needs to touch the ball there, no excuses.

Post #758 » by **Fadeaway_J** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:49 am

Malik Monk is clearly living right.

MisterHibachi · Post #759 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:58 am

Omg, Melo gotta be smarter

MisterHibachi · Post #760 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Nov 11, 2021 6:00 am

Take foul on the catch. Don't let them get a 3 up.
