Which is why this hurts.
We blew a chance to be up 3-0 and now they have two great players probably coming back.

Only the bench and Bron (for 2.5 qtrs) showed up lol
this was probably their worst or secondworst game of the playoffs though I wouldn’t count on them playing like this again
I just hate how they were going thru the motions like Miami was gonna layover

very true, combo of both. AD getting into foul trouble/not being aggressive and throwing up bricks in addition to Jimmy driving at will.

Up 2 with 7 mins or so left in the fourth.
Shame on lakers
down the stretch you double Butler if he’s gonna be the only guy shooting
also we got Scott Foster’d tonight. LeBron literally got no calls driving in
AD was so bad. If we replace 12 of those 42 3s into AD face up jumpers. We score 12 points off them. Change 8 of those turnovers to AD jumpers, even without rhythm we probably get 6 points. That’s 20 point just by Taking contested 22 footers for AD instead of 3s and turnovers. It’s not rocket science

At least they're up in the series. I'm hoping BAM plays because this team plays better when their opponents are tough and at close to full strength. They thought without Dragic and BAM it would be easy but those games are always tough. Glad they are still up 2-1.

Plus Olynk is good man and gives us trouble. He can shoot. Increases the threat.

It's almost incredible that a player can play 44 minutes and not pick up a single foul.

I hated AD laughing after those fouls
Vogel is an idiot not challenging that elbow by Butler on DG and Lebron

With BAM out there instead of Kelly you can have more rim protection.

I actually kinda prefer Bam coming back
theyll take it more seriously and he doesn’t space the floor as well. They killing us with 3s lol
can’t let Jimmy go one on one too much tho but I understand a big part of that is AD being in foul trouble and not being able to be down there
but this is why it’s better to be up 2-0 than 1-1 tho

We ain’t going to rim anyway

Butler is their only play maker and we never trapped him or forced him to take ball out of his hand. We didn’t do it for 3 quarters. That’s fine. But down the stretch you gotta make a damn change man

Let him iso for the entire game and he torched them

To put this game into perspective.
1. Jimmy had an incredible game.
2. Lakers turned the ball over 20 times just like they did in game 3 against Denver.
3. Lakers are still up 2-1
4. The Olynk three point shooting is causing tons of problems on offense and defense.
5. Even though they got down by double digits they kept fighting which was encouraging.
6. Lakers got lazy with attacking the zone and settled for too many 3s.
7. Miami did a great job at cleaning the glass which hurt our offensive rebounding.
8. Most of Butler's points were from the free throw line instead of brilliant shot making which is encouraging. Jimmy doesn't scare me offensively like some of the players they've played.

What we didn't see was AD or bron in the middle of zone at the top. That was killing Miami in both games and they went away from thaf.
- 20,616
- 10,222
I noticed that. No idea why either smfh
I think they truly thought Miami was gonna lay over cuz No Bam or Dragon and they just settled for 3s
didn’t try to put the energy in to attack the zone
Then a little banter between Bron and Butler and he were are humble pie lol
