What a complete gag job by LA's cast. Honestly, never seen role players lay a bigger egg on a stage this big.

Wait really, why? I mean, I don't think Robinson goes supernova like this again. Unless you think AD's injured?

What a waste

I think most predicted Lakers in 6 (OFC before Goran went down)

Theyll be fine. Jimmy has averaged 38/12/11/4 in their 2 wins. Hes not capable of doing that again. They need him to have an alltime performance to even have a puncher's chance

Cant wait for game 6

Butler gets ridiculous superstar treatment. All he has to do is drive into the paint and snap his neck back. He gets all of those calls. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

...

It would also be nice if Vogel stops handicapping the team with those worthless Howard minutes.

One of the best finals games I've ever watched.

A real shame there were no fans. Would have been even better.

I know and that's why the Heat are winning in 7 I am so upset :banghead:

How do you waste that game from Lebron and now Ad is hurt as well.

Usually when it's 3-1 role players come out guns blazing, but LA players missed every open shot they could.

It was epic, don't know which team could have played better. Probably Lakers bench could have.

Spoelstra only played 7 guys

Wouldnt be a Bron playoff run without an overreaction from Ig2

Ad will look fine after he gets some treatment. Hes kind of a drama queen TBH was that way in Nola too

He earned every single FT attempt in this game.

I'm sure LeBron has something left in the tank for Sunday, but I'm worried about AD.

What a choke job by the supporting cast

No way they just withstood one of the best games Lebron has ever had and now ad is hurt as well the Heat as a result I think sadly are taking this series now in 7

Does he need to? Miami has looked like the better team after Game 2. And LeBron's not duplicating this performance again. With AD less than 100%, it's going to be ridiculously hard for LA to pull this off.

Would be interesting if Goran Dragic was still playing. They really will need him in games 6 and possibly 7 if it goes that far. They need him off the bench if he is not completely good to go.

The amount of energy LeBron expended to get to 99-96 with the ball needed that ONE open shot to get to a two possession lead and they couldn’t do it.

—AD three point miss
—Green three point miss
—Pope misses put back

Would have been a glorious closing game (pretty sure James now has 3 of the top 4 game scores in Finals history).

Was that their first loss in the Mamba jersey?

See that AD foul? Thats the right call. But like 2 plays before, Lebron drove and went up and was contested by the weakside Crowder who hit in the exact same way. Refs swallowed their whistles there and Lebron had to get the OREB and go back up.

I like that call at the end of the game for Butler. Refs shouldnt swallow their whistles at obvious fouls, but they did just 2 plays before. It's ridiculous

At least those in 4th quarter were legit
