Yeah Miami cant guard him. Hes too smart and strong and Jimmy is gonna start slowing down. He almost played the whole game

Its insane. Weve seen Bron deliver time and time again but one narrow closeout loss and its all over. Some of these dudes must still have Ptsd from 2011 or something man

I feel like people make comments like this damn near every game when Danny ends up a + as if his whole season and career's data (RAPM, PIPM, etc.) don't support him being a positive impact player. He spaces the floor and defends - that's consistently valuable. Too much Danny slander on here.


True. Though imagine how high his + would be if he could make a shot. Really coulda used that last look he got. Don't ever see looks that open in today's league, and it was still about 2" away from being an air-ball. Wish he could find his touch.

Those Dwight and Kuzma minutes probably cost them the game.

You must’ve. Butler flails every time he drives the lane. Lebron gets nowhere near the whistle Butler gets.


I feel like any perimeter player that has a 70% free throw rate is almost automatically disqualified from the "earns every free throw" category.

Why? Because your favorite player isn't as good at drawing fouls?

We all expect them to win, but that’s why they play the games.

I mean he shot 40% from 3 tonight. That's . . . elite. What bothers me more than missing the 3 at the end is some of those low percentage floaters and weird off-balance midrange-y shots that he's really bad at. Though to be fair to him, he got stuck with the ball in awkward spots near the end of the shotclock a couple times.

Rondo was right there with him. He was a complete dumpster fire in that game. A complete no show since game two.

Where did I say it was a guaranteed win? Exactly, nowhere. I’m just sick of people acting like it’s over when we have 2 games left to play. And pretending like LeBron had some completely out of character game he can’t possibly replicate and that Miami stole a game they played awful in.

Lakers in 6. And LeBron will have another big game to stop everyone’s dramatics.

Danny Green was like fourth best player for Lakers today, you are bashing him for missing one shot while the main reason Lakers lost was atrocious performance by Kieff, Caruso, Kuzma and Rondo on both ends of a floor. Yeah, he missed his open look, but it's only one possession, Lakers lost because bench went 5/22 with 7 TOs. In fact, Green was quite solid today, or not as bad as every player outside of LBJ, AD and KCP was.

Well, drawing fouls is a skill. James is good at that, but not as good as Butler. I don't remember any whistle when I thought "damn, Bulter got lucky with this one". He earned every single point he got today.

That’s because you are not looking for them. If LeBron was drawing those same fouls you would better believe there would be clowns (not calling you personally one of them) chopping up YouTube videos.

Most are not calling them guaranteed losses either. That did not stop you from throwing that out there.

The Lakers should win, but they can lose. Chop that up however you want.

Lakers roleplayers need too lock themselves in an incubation chamber till sunday.

Everyone regressed to the worst versions of themselves, Rondo turned back into a shooting and defensive liability, Green is what he's been all postseason, Morris with the panic choke and Kuzma with his streakiness and low iq defense.

Yeah, these guys literally had to be their worst selves to offset an all time game by James

I'm just surprised Jimmy is playing this well. Basically has the highest Game Score in this series thus far.

Don't be mad with the Lakers roleplayers guys, they just wanted to give RDCworld material for one last lockerroom skit before bowing out

AD should have jumped for the ball on the Markief pass and tried to get the call because Bam was getting underneath him
