Lakers just didn't play enough solid defense in the playoffs. They don't know how to get AD or LeBron the ball in the post without TOs. No movement. This series could be over.

I have more confidence in Rondo shooting an open three than Danny. All his shots are way off target.

Danny Green was wide open and somehow he barely hits rim. Da fuq is wrong with that guy.

They're fouling the hell out of anyone inside but not getting the calls... Looks like the NBA wants this one to go to the Heat too...

When you can hear the slap on TV and they don't call it, I think you get what's going on.

That said, why is vogel playing so conservative with the rotations... Let Dwight, AD and Bron run more... ANd why not let McGee get some burn and see what happens?

LeBron is having another head scratcher game though... Rondo comes in and we start getting downhill again... No more yoyo penetration by Bron eating up the clock.

Every clip they show of the Heat's "good Defense' shows a clear foul.

I might be the only one who thinks this, but with his length and mobility, I would go ahead and use Javale as the lob threat and shot blocker. Just me because if rondo and the guards can back tap balls vs the zone Javale can too

His focus is entirely on drawing contact and getting calls, instead of scoring and winning.

AD hasn't been great the last 2 games, but LeBron has been the worst I've seen him... Bad attitude, bad execution, and seems like pretty clear stat/glory hunting...

ScHoolBoy B wrote:I can't believe we can't contain Jimmy, but we were able to contain Harden and Westbrook...Like there has to be more to why this team is underperforming. I think there might be friction in the locker room...

To be fair he’s actually not rushing like Murray when trapped. He’s not ignoring mids like Harden. And he’s not running 30 feet out and taking bad shots to avoid traps like Dame. He’s been the most complete perimeter player they faced.

I am also including potentially facing George and Kawhi because unlike kawhi, Jimmy can play big minutes and facilitate. Also unlike George he can dribble and is clutch.

I said it before this is Jimmy’s stage. He’s turning Lebron into Magic Johnson in 91. Lebron pride is kicking his ass but really Rondo needs to be running this team. Jimmy Butler is showing himself to be a better version of Scottie Pippen and all the advantages Lebron normally has are gone. He can’t look over Jimmy. Jimmy doesn’t give a **** about what Lebron think. Jimmy isn’t scared of him and feels like he can defend Lebron, he can run a team just like Lebron, and when it’s winning time he can’t beat him one on one and 50/50 balls. This is Jimmy’s You Will Respect Me series.

Need to send Dudley in to put someone on their ass and point at the refs after like Shaq used to do...

Not sure what that was at the end with 3 seconds left. Get a damn shot off there was more than enough time.

You saying not sure? That was Lebron protecting his percentages.

He gave it to Kuz when Kuz had **** talked about him in game 1 for how bad he shot be it was ignored he took one at three quarters court with 2 seconds left, one in the third with 1.1 left 27 feet out Lebron through at him when he was trapped. In game 2 where he had that dunk after the buzzer he gave it to Kuz with 1.5 left 30 feet out too. The reason Kuz percentages look **** is he will chuck the bitch up for the 10% chance those flings go in.

Just right there Lebron literally held the ball to save his finals percentage and then through it ahead so someone else would hold the ball as time expired lol. It’s like him triple double hunting when people were clamoring about AD the first two games
