I can't wait til LeBron retires. I wanted to give him a knock out punch before he went..but I'll settle for this guy being gone as quick as possible. Done watching this dude in the finals.

They have confidence against us, knowing we would crack over and over at some point in the game. If we didn’t **** up game 1, we would have beaten them also in game 2 easily. It’s like they had a psychological edge by beating us even if we had big leads. Now they are scared **** of the lakers knowing they won’t crack.

Because nobody can guard Davis straight up and their guards can't guard a chair. Robinson and Herro are like the guard versions of Kanter. Lol

This series is tough to watch because there were so many little things we could have done better to beat this team. We made them look so much better than they really are. It's killing me.

I mean, we also don't have the personnel that the Lakers do. With Hayward hobbled, we're not nearly as talented. We needed Smart to raise his offensive game to get the wins we did against the Heat and the Raptors. As much as Tatum/JB have improved, they're still very young and can't consistently put up star production like Bron/AD can. Could we have done things better? Probably. But I'm not going to be too hard on our team. Just like Miami, we weren't ever expected to be a Finals team this season.

Frank Vogel has completely taken away Miami's shooters. They just don't get a single shot off those curls. Herro scored 38 on those..he can't even get a shot off on it. Unbelievable.

If you're Ainge watching this **** I'm sure you're at least thinking of giving Brad the boot. Smh.

I guess. But I think we let them off too easily on those screens for Herro/Duncan. Most of the things I see that we could have done better are Brad's fault. The team is young and has issues, but Brad should have been better.

Give credit to the Lakers, they play aggressive defence and extremely focus on their defensive assignments. They switch on everything and they don’t have defensive liability like Kemba and Theis.

Kyrie is going to be so jealous of Davis winning finals MVP on a LeBron led team lol

This must be tough for Pelicans fans to watch though.

They are missing wide open shots though while they were making crazy shots against the Celtics. They are just afraid of Lebron, Davis and Dwight.

Olynyk is a good player. He would have been nice off the bench for the Celtics.

BRUNiNHO91 · Post #1671 » by **BRUNiNHO91** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 2:55 am

Damn Lakers are lighting these dudes up. Rondo is shooting 40% from three. Somebody max that guy asap and get him out of there.

They cut it to ten

If they stopped leaving Rondo wide open or started boxing out AD they have been even closer.

That’s good coaching preparations, and team discipline and execution!

Crazy what having high IQ players does to destroy a zone.

Hopefully our guys learn from that experience.

Seeing Rondo and AD a little different than Kemba and Theis lol

Seriously. Lebron and Rondo must the highest combo IQ. Of course they will destroy a zone. You can’t compare them to an extremely young team.

It was suicide to even try it from Miami’s point of view.

Heat are actually scoring more efficiently than the Lakers. They're just getting clobbered on the boards.

London2Boston · Post #1679 » by **London2Boston** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:30 am

Olynyk giving up rebound after rebound. Somethings never change haha.

I don't disagree. Meant it more defensively. I didn't like our defensive game plan of sitting the big man back. Offensively without Hayward we just didn't have the pieces. No complaints there.
