Plantar fasciitis I think. Foot injury. Having x-rays now.

3 of Heat's top 4 players are injured. Unbelievable.

Compare that to the Celtics, who some think Hayward is our 2nd best player.

We would have given this Lakers team a good run. And Celtics are good for a number of years to come.
Lakers are good for the short term.

Because we couldnt risk a slot (albeit on a non-guaranteed deal) on a headcase, whereas the lakers having 2x top 5 players gives them the flexibility to take those gambles

Overachieving team? Get out of here with that nonsense. There’s talent on the team when the guys play to their capability.

Kanter is better. Not his fault Brad has a man crush on Theis.

Did we forget what happened in the game at Boston this year vs Lakers? We blew them out and Kanter dominated. He was the best big on the floor. He even outplayed AD.

This is the wackest title of all time. The Lakers faced a decimated Portland Team, Houston with the worst version of Westbrook, the Nuggets instead of the Clippers, and now a decimated Heat team.

The bubble never should have happened.

Yeah that’s what I said. Overachieving. They overachieved all season. After Horford, Lebron’s caddy, Morris, Baynes and Rozier left, a lot of people here didn’t think the Celtics would do better than 8th seed in the East.

That’s common sense. Brad did a great job. And people want him gone and want Doc **** Rivers.

Karma should be punishing the lakers for playing their starters this late into a blowout, but noooooo, that wont happen

AD is in his prime. Lebron is showing no signs on slowly down. I think they will be in the hunt for about 3-5 years at least.

Maybe but that western conference will get tougher with the warriors coming back and we know about the choking clippers. Lebron is getting old. Father Time should be catching up with him soon.

Good for you. Then you are happy. But then again not really since you feel like you have to be an ass when you don’t agree with others point of view.

Being located in the north east in a cold weather city.....that’s it. lakers will always have Hollywood and warm weather- they were ran terribly for years and were rewarded with lebron James. if that doesn’t show u anything than I don’t know what will.

California weather + Hollywood means they will always be back and get stars....all they needed was 1 guy to put them back on the map, it was bron then ad followed and ad will get them someone else when brons done
