Anyone who said LeBron should have taken the last shot is a fool.
Lebrons never been that guy. He’s always had that clutch shooter. If ad wasn’t hurting they probably would’ve ran a play for him.
The thing is, did they drew up the play for DG? If so, why waste the timeout? The heat will gladly take their chances on that.
I felt like lebron went a little early. I was definitely ok with him taking a 3.
So pissed...Hope some weed will help...What a waste of a great Lebron performance. Hell almost all their players in double figures and we could only get 3 people to score 10 measly points or higher. That’s embarrasing, they should be ashamed of this performance. If we lose the series this game will haunt many of these guys in the future. When can we get rid of pretty boy Kuzma? He should have gone with the rest of the guys we traded.
Anyone who said LeBron should have taken the last shot is a fool.
So the Lakers best player, who dominated offensively all game, should NOT be taking final shot to win an NBA championship?
Oh-kay.
wide open 3 couldnt draw it any better. Get out of here with your ridic analysis kobe would have made the same play but it would have been to D fish not bum DG
Speaking of last shots, kinda funny that butler gets fouled by AD (yes, it was a foul) but brons last score there was no and 1 even though he so CLEARLY got fouled...
If called fair, this would have been a 4-0 sweep.
Congrats heat fans, you're the latest darlings of the NBA's attempt to make a long finals for money lost to covid.

Also Kuzma's 0 IQ (like his number) on full display. Instead of staying in front of Robinson to bother his shot, the moron runs into Duncan's body from the side..and has the gall to whine about it. _________________ God is a Lakers fan........usually.

Nope Kobe would’ve shot the ball himself, whether he makes it or not that’s another story. So basically you take a pick, you want your best player to take a ridiculously difficult shot or your scrub to take a wide open shot? I would say the percentage of either option going in isn’t very high.

Sorry, but you're wrong. Kobe and Michael were clutch for a reason.
We could play the hindsight game all night, we still lost.
We have stuff to build on. We have better matchups to go to. I think AC played Nunn best, and Nunn killed us in the first half but not the second. Remember that lead we had in the first half that evaporated when he turned into prime Tony Parker?
They played very well and beat us, did we play very well? Who among us can say we got beat playing our best game?
Lets play our best game, with better knowledge of what their best game is, and bring this one home on Sunday. No need for a game 7 because I don't like to drink on a tuesday or wednesday or whatever they're making us go through
Green was wide open. LeBron is never not passing that ball, and he's right. Guys just have to knock down open shots.
Despite Green's miss, I think this game was lost primarily by the Laker bench. I don't even lay a ton of blame on Vogel; I think he's a generic scapegoat for fans foaming at the mouth. Kuzma and Morris both had some of their worst performances in the bubble. Rondo was ordinary. They have to be better.
I originally predicted Lakers in 6. I sincerely hope that they prove me right. I do think Davis will be playing and probably in better shape than he looked to close this one. I almost hope Dragic returns just so he takes the ball out of Butler's hands.

Is it possible to discuss a game w/o some asshat bringing up kobe and mamba mentality to (bleep) on the current team that is up 3-2 in the finals? _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

In the NBA Finals, close out game, your best player SHOOTS the fk'n ball, he doesn't pass it to a scrub.
I have NEVER seen Jordan or Kobe doing that. Never. Kobe is rolling in his grave right now.
Then you haven't watched Jordan or Kobe. They both made passes to role players in the waning moments of games. Kobe is rolling in his grave at your revisionist history. Jordan is throwing a whiskey glass from his chair at you.

I had flashback of Horry hitting that shot against the kings when Green released the ball, as it was about the same spot, boy was I wrong.
Rondo should have been in the last play!!!!!! What was Frank thinking? I don't care is Rondo was 0 for 10, he needed to be in the last play. He is clutch and will make the big shots. They blew it.

By the way, Horry got the ball on a fumble, after Kobe Bryant took and missed the shot in the final seconds...ahem
