Kelly Olynyk looked LeBron James dead in the eye and said “Not tonight Mister”

KO is ways better than Theis. At least that guy is legit big that can body up AD and Bam. Plus offensively it’s not even close! He coupd definitely been our starter.

Olynyk not being just a standstill three-point threat for Miami was huge for their offense. AD was chasing him and couldn't help against Jimmy and co.'s forays into the paint. Their constant cutting and screening create so much confusion and miscommunication. Spo is the man.

KO is just ready to shoot. Plus he is big enough to bother AD or Lebron when they post up.

Agree on the first one. Laughing at the 2nd one. Come on, man, we were mocking KO for being soft and getting pushed around while he was in Boston. Miami just has a better defensive game plan and they execute really well.

Lakers gave the heat a game to make people watch.

I'm embarrassed for anyone who doesn't realize this was rigged. All the NBA cares about is narratives that drive ad revenue. If they sweep too easily then they miss the chance to make their advertisers happy. If they sweep too easily, it further strengthens the asterisk narrative surrounding these playoffs and Lebron's claim that he's the GOAT. They weren't even subtle about it either. AD and the rest inexplicably with 10 turnovers in the first 10 minutes. AD takes only 9 shots the whole game. Early foul trouble kept him off the court. Jimmy with zero fouls. I mean, this is with the Heat missing Bam and Dragic. AD could have gotten 50 tonight if the fix wasn't in. Anyone paying attention has knows the league is rigged but this is as blatant as when they fixed the series so Lebron could win vs GSW when he went back home...the LAL/SAC series Game 6 and 7, Game 7 Lakers v us, and Ewing going to NY. Absolutely disgusting. They have no respect for their fans.

No way, Theis is better. This is a typical out of the box KO special like he had against Washington. He’s certainly a good veteran guy off the bench but in no way can he match up against AD.

Probably. but i said bother, not stop! Still a better option than Theis, getting manhandled by guys like Lowry and dragic

That what happens when you get the playing time, as opposed to spot minutes off the bench. He’s been great for them the past 2 games though. can’t say that’s all fluke.

Tbf, those that laughed at KO the most, did it more because he was a bit goofy out there, and imo, claims of his softness were a bit unfounded. He was always really effective. Poor rebounder? Sure. Never felt like he was soft, though. He did what it took when needed.

Totally he’s been great for them with Bam Injured, but today every Heat player basically flopped on any contact initiated with AD and he got into foul trouble for it (sure some of them were there but they literally complained after every bit of contact to try and get Davis out)

Dude Kelly Olynyk outplayed Anthony Davis in a finals game

They needed to complain to get the calls. Lebron is a total joke. Even we he jumped twice and took 8 steps on one sequence, he still got the nerve to complain it was not a travel. :lol:

Just wait what the refs does next game though. lol

Fair.

But it's also a mis-characterization that KO was able to bother AD or Lebron in the post tonight. (Lebron and AD barely played from the post in tonight's game.) It was their defensive scheme overall that made AD ineffective (and foul trouble in 1st half). Crowder was actually the primary defender on AD, not Olynyk. KO was more help defender off Kief (who hit a couple of threes in the corner due to KO's late closeouts).

So Miami got a punch in, huh?

ConstableGeneva · Post #1738 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Mon Oct 5, 2020 3:40 am

Read on Twitter

This game wasn't rigged. They were travels and it's just right to call them. All the other games when they don't call these on Lebron are rigged.

Triple7 · Post #1739 » by **Triple7** » Mon Oct 5, 2020 3:50 am

Theis is an expiring next season. I hope Danny don’t **** it up by offering Theis an extension.
