LBJ is not omnipotent.
Spoelstra is one of the best coaches in the league and he found a way to maximize Heat's chances for success.
And that means giving Olynuk more minutes for the rest of the series, keeping the ball in Buttler's hands and packing the paint more.
I would not be surprised if Bam comes off the bench and plays with 2nd unit.
What scares me if they keep us out of the paint we are forced to become jump shooting team. That means more shoths for KCP and Green

You speak as if we plan to make no adjustments from Game 3, and that Game 1 and 2 never happened.
Newsflash homie: LBJ + AD > Butler + Olynyk
Not trying to create conflict with a fellow Laker fan, but the panic and negativity that spills over after one loss is astonishing. Trust in our team. We are the better team, and our coach is pretty damn good too.

I doubt Dragic plays. It's all mind games.

If the refs leave AD alone we should win this game.

Not gonna lie - nervous about tonite's game. My gut read is unreliable.
My concern is the Heat having played Houston type ball versus the Lakers (shoot 3s, or drive for an easy 2, front AD) actually appeared better to me than Houston - noted by the fact at least their offense has scored over 114+ points in two straight games, the type of game more favorable to the Heat than the Lakers. Also, the horrific shooting of our starting guards over 2 games is a bit concerning.
With that said, my rational side says have faith the coaching staff, and AD, will rebound.
Go Lakers! Tonight 3 things: 1. Play much better D, the amount of scoring happening the past 2 games is not this team's strength 2. Offense - more movement 3. AD - bring it! |

Frank Vogel: "We've just got to be better on the defensive end. We haven't been ourselves the last two games. I thought the last game was a little bit better."
Frank Vogel says the Lakers have to be better on defense tonight."We haven't been ourselves in the last two games... To win in the NBA Finals, we've got to be better." |

Defense has been atrocious the last 2 games, Lebron and AD included.
Need to pick that up or we won't win the series. Have to get AD involved and out of double teams more or we won't win the series. Have to limit turnovers or we won't win the series.
Going back over the last game it's astonishing how bad we played. Like WTF levels of bad |

I honestly don't know what to expect. I am not as confident as I was after game 2 that's for sure.

Same here. Logic says we win but that's what I thought before last game. I know Lebron knows what to do. AD I'm not too sure.
