Sounds like playing through it is still a long shot

Dragic is an animal. He’ll do everything in his power to return.

If you’re Miami, you have to do what’s best for him, not necessarily what may be the best for the team at the current moment. Dragic is the ultimate competitor and he can be on a wheelchair and he’ll still want to suit up.

The last thing we need is a KD type injury in the finals. I hope our doctors do their work accordingly and make a wise choice. Again, his style of play puts him at an increased risk for re-injury.

The good news is: we can't play any worse than that (I think...)

It was basically a disaster. I hope Spo and Co get to the tape and see what happened there. Defensively, the Crowder/AD matchup is just asking for trouble. It's too much. I think we need to double AD on the catch perhaps and try force it out of his hands, and hope they don't shoot as ridiculously from downtown as they did today.

They're full of bravado and arrogance. I would love nothing more than to see us come back from this and shout "it's over" in AD's grill, but we're going to have to adjust. Put this game behind us, learn our lesson, and come back ready to work and get back in this series.

It's 1-0. We're not done yet.

Oh, but we need Bam back and playing like it's Game 6 ECF to have a chance. He can't go soft and he can't play timid. Yes the Lakers have bigs, but he needs to realise he's actually really good, and can dunk on these guys.

Feel like Jimmy and Nunn are the only two guys who didn't play scared today.

Seems like a longshot for Game 2, but beyond that, who knows.

I tell you what, it was nice seeing Nunn with a pulse today. He showed no fear and looked pretty damn good tbh. It may have been once we were down freaking 30, but he's earned a spot in the rotation.

Duncan...man...if he's not gonna go off from three he's a problem for us.

I liked Jimmy's aggression early. He looked really sharp in that 1st quarter. Unfortunately, everything fell to pieces once he went out and he turned his ankle now long after.

I feel like Goran's injury was the turning point. We were not playing perfect or anything before that, but Lakers were boosted by hot 3 point shooting to that point. Losing Goran means way more ball-handling for Herro, which is a lot to ask of any rookie. Had way too many sloppy plays today, but again can't really fault him too much in that role.

Or maybe the Goran injury was more of a morale deflater, idk

I've never cared much for Nunn, but I will say he looked decent physically so at least post-covid repercussions seem like less of an issue

He shouldn't play. We saw this twice with KD and Klay. They tried and got a longterm injury. Dragic is 34 a longterm injury could pretty much end his career. I hope the FO does look out for him and keep him out.

The biggest thing for us will be getting Bam going. This isn't the first time he's shrunk against legit bigs, but he needs to know his time is now. I'll give him this game given the injury, but he needs to come out aggressive like he did after Game 5 v Boston.

If we're any chance in this series, he needs to play BIG and give us a presence.

Leonard 2nd Rotation Kelly
Bam Crowder/DJJ
Robinson Iquadala/DJJ
Butler Herro
Nunn Butler/Herro

Go back to the same rotation we had from the beginning of the season have Bam cover AD make AD work for this points. Play the bigs even Bam with Kelly works together
