Jimmy was in the zone. Lakers had a lot unforced turnovers. It happens. Lakers in 5

GG Miami you guys spanked the crap out of us. If we dont come out with urgency game 4 anything can happen in this series. Still really pissed with how we played in the 4Q..Embarassing.

Good for Miami to get a game, but Lakers handed it to them. They must want to go fi,fi,fi,fi

yes

heatles got their number....now add the all the ppg dragic and bam score and heatles will be blowing them out. they would be up 3-0 if those injuries didnt happen

Right and if the Lakers come out and smack them next game, it's because the Heat are "the worst finals team ever". Rinse repeat yawn.

Crazy.

Good riddance to all the people who said, "Jimmy Butler can't be the best player on a championship team."

He can't? It was one game.

You realize the Heat are down 2-1 right? And that Jimmy has never won before?

He's in the finals as the best player on the team. That alone shows he can be the best player on a championship team. You realize the Heat are missing 2 of their 3 best players right?

Are you Elton brand's burner and trying to make Jimmy look bad?

This is supposed to be a cakewalk. Lakers are so bad to lose this game. Props to Butler with a superstar game, hope he can keep it up the rest of the way.

The Heat have far more depth, and the better coach, Lakers are a two man show, and AD laid an egg tonight, so they lost. Heat were amazing, but I expect the Lakers to match their intensity next game.

He knows who he is and plays only to his strengths. I love it.

And those strengths are being great at just about everything else

LeBron had 25 points.
AD and the rest of the Lakers starters had 26.

Entire team didn't show up aside from LeBron, Kuzma, and Morris.

Davis creating matchup issues is what has been killing the Heat so far. Not surprising that the rest of the team struggled

I predict a "Jimmy Butler FMVP regardless of series outcome" thread in a few minutes.

However, Butler was amazing, Bron was overmatched trying to stop him. Dont wanna hear about his great defense again pls. Bron slowed him down to a monster triple double. :lol:

lebron used to be off social media in playoffs in previous years. not this year. he might want to get off social media and watch more film, because the heatles have them figured out and are coming for them now, they just had to figure out their detour to account for the injuries which they now have. If it wasnt for injuries, Miami would be up 3-0 when you add in the PPG Dragic and Bam provide

Tonight he had his 12th career Finals game with at least 6 turnovers. Michael Jordan only did this once.

Games with 8+ assist in finals:

Lebron 30
MJ 6

Actually, stats say he's pretty clutch. Someone researched them a few days ago.

Did LeBron spend a single minute guarding Jimmy tonight?

Y'all know LeBron gunning for the finals MVP is going to make this team implode. Same as 2011. He'd rather not win the title if he not getting the series MVP.

Built different dawg

Anticon · Post #2757 » by **Anticon** » Mon Oct 5, 2020 2:20 am

I don't think Vogel coached this game well. With Davis out he should have played Lebron more. It was odd seeing him resting at key times.

Games like this always make me wonder why pundits forget every playoff series that crowning a winner post game 2 is a bad idea!

He's historically been on his #zerodark30 wave, ofc bubble permitting he refrained from it this year. Still different
