It’s natural.
If the Lakers lose to a Heat team without Goran and Bam, then we got problems.
I anticipate a different attack where they might try to replicate the Rockets small ball to a degree. Doubt the Lakers shoot as well as game 1, but so long as it’s not under 30% they should be ok. |

Or we could easily sweep them like the Spurs did to us when we had to start Morris and Goudelock in a playoff series. Morris-Goudelock starting backcourt for an NBA playoff team. lol |

| The Heat defense is so overrated. They don't have a great defense. They were 12th overall during the regular season and not great during the playoffs either. What they've been utilizing are gimmick defenses, which you can't even set up after a missed shot. Herro and Duncan Robinson archetypes are exactly the type of players our wing defenders guard the best. And it's a whole different ballgame when all of a sudden you're game planned for because your best players can be covered 1 on 1 by the Lakers best players. There's no escape. |

| I would be shocked if Bam doesn’t play. Only change imo is Nunn in for Goran. |

According to where you look. Some have them doubtful, others day to day.

The last update at 2 pm is doubtful. Unlikely he goes from doubtful to play in 7 hours.

Streaks are meant to be broken. Just like LeBron being 1-8 in game 1's of finals. They arent winning tonight vs Mamba jerseys, vs FMVP Bron and AD.
Sweep.

| I expect the game to be a lot more competitive then it was in Game 1, Butler will motivate his players but we also know that we are gonna be wearing black mamba jerseys and that’s good motivation for us as well. |

| Trap game tonight with the blowout in game one and the injuries to the Heat. Good thing Lebron has been all business and will hopefully keep everyone intense and on track. |

| Trap game. Bron needs to remind them the sooner they get it done the sooner they leave the bubble. |

Bron misses his family. He wants out of the bubble. Fo sho he's gonna be an intense motivator. All the guys want to go home. They've been in the bubble since July 30th.

If they feel like there's no hope then tonight will be their last gasp. This should be a beatdown tonight if we just play Laker Basketball.
