Still **** the Lakers for not winning that last game. That was supposed to be the cherry on top. But I'm getting greedy.

Also: what in the absolute **** happened this game?? They're not even that hot from 3. Did the Heat just come back down to earth?

Lakers adjusted. Howard on te bench, Davis closing the middle, Caruso in and putting pressure in the perimeter.

James on Buttler. Worked fine. Switching less, and when switching there was no mismatch to get like there was with Howard in there.

Buttler tired.

LeBron playing to his usual. Davis playing very well too. His defense has been fantastic.

Shots from the perimeter players are falling. Even if not 3s.

Defense, defense, defense and getting out in transition. Much faster team without Howard playing.

Heat overall lost confidence with the gap opening... and now it's become just a shoot arround.

Who'da thought it would be possible for a team in 2020 to win a championship without being a good 3pt shooting team. Or even a high volume one. Lakers ranked 21st in 3pt% during the regular season (23rd in attempts). 9th in 3pt% in the playoffs (15th in attempts).

Literally every other champion from 2011-2019 was elite at the 3 ball. It's been said LeBron's very dependent on great shooting around him to win. This will be a great accomplishment.

If only Caruso made that dunk... Like LeBron almost dunking on Draymond in 2016.

That was the ultimate "what-if" play. I still think about that one all the time.

That much is true. But parity this year was better, there was no super Warriors out there.

Also the Lakers are exceptional in all other parameters of the game. Shooting is very important and will keep being. But it's not the only thing.

Green didn't dribble, it should be an assist.

Anything is possible with a LeBron team.

The Score app has him at 10, and a triple double.

Really hoping for a 30 point triple double.

LeBron has been short changed an assist to give him a triple double.

That last Green three should have been LeBron’s 10th assist.
