| Hey just wanted to remind everyone Danny Green is GARBAGE and he is on the books again for next season for $15m. Oh and remember, he was our BIG SIGNING in the year we basically had a max deal to offer with players like DeAngelo, Jimmy B, Kemba etc were all available. But so happy we settled for DG, Cook, McGee. |

| If LeBron James listened to the stupid (bleep) fans want him to do in these situations he would be so much worse. |

The biggest issue imo is the Lakers defense hasn’t been all that good this series.
Having too many breakdowns and losing too many effort plays. |

Danny Green was 3-7 and 2-4 from 3 before that 3. You're delusional. |
...and Lebron was 15-21. And so who would you trust with that last shot? Cuz lebron didn't trust himself and went with DG. |

Man the Lakers bench was terrible. Strangely I am relieved. No way they go 5-22 again. |

Sure we'd all like Lebron to take the last shot but he got 2 players wide open shots. Why are you using Kobe's name to take a shot at Lebron? Its really (bleep) gross dude.

| We should have make play for KCP not Green. Also Rondo should have played more at 4th instead of Caruso. |

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 |
Problem is we lost with Lebron playing his best game. |

I'm also mystified how AD always finds himself on the floor all the time. Sometimes he's all splayed on the floor while his team has to play 4 on 5 at the other side. It's not like he's diving on floor for loose balls, he crumples over the slightest contact. He's gotta work on his balance or something.

The bench also played it's worst game by far and vogel's coaching was subpar. That compounded with Miami's hot shooting killed us and it was still a 3 point game. If AD is okay we still win.

LeBron was not making that with a triple team. He had to pass it and Green was wide open It was the right play. |
Why not set screens for LBJ like the Heat does for Butler? Set multiple screens, as soon as LBJ finds a crease he will attack and breaks down their D. |
No, it's NOT the right play. The right play is to draw the foul going hard to the basket. It's NOT the right play to throw it to the worst shooter in the rotation. Lebron played a masterful game, but he fk'd up. So did Vogel. |
Dude, they like double / tripled him as he moved past the 3 point line. But a different player or play should have been utilized, or just a flat clear out |

All and all, I still feel good about game 6. I suggested earlier that the entire Laker role players playing great in game 4 was a bad thing, because those guys are not good enough, collectively, to have two good games in a row. So, they had their bad game tonight. At least one of them will play good enough Sunday.

Sounds like you expect the Lakers to lose next game. |

I would agree with you but something about AD's toughness bothers me. Both physical and mental. I think he's deferring to much to LeBron and hoping he'll just put the team on his back and get them over the finish line. Hope I'm wrong.

Called it when they signed him. A glorified bum just happened to be a part of 2 championship teams. |

kcp took 15 shots to get 16 points. Why was he "not involved" when he had as many shots this game as AD?
The Lakers looked bad, and subsequently lost. The Heat looked amazing and won by basically one point. The sky isn't falling yet. |

Yep, squandering a 6-9 three night from LBJ really, really stings.
I really point to 6 different moments in this game where the Lakers poor play and/or poor coaching allowed this to happen. Take those moments out or even play and Lakers win. That's what frustrates me. In no particular order:
1: Micro lineup falling behind big in the second quarter. Bad coaching move as Bam and others had their way on the boards. Heat went on a run.
2-4: 3rd quarter, 3 beyond aggravating / non championship plays as they got close: Allowing a 6 point trip, and two 4 point trips for the Heat. Unacceptable for a professional team, let alone one playing in the Finals. In fact, I have probably never seen that before
5-6: 4th quarter, Vogel has a brain fart again and goes Micro...missed layup, 2 TOS...down by 11. With AD back they finally make their push. But then the complete collapse on both ends when up by 1 with 16 seconds...
Heat had no such moments like that in this game. Zero. None. yes they had moments they would miss shots, or occassionally have a steal made, but nothing, and I mean nothing, like how the Lakers collapsed with these types of collapses or plays. |
