First time making a game thread here in thirteen years. Will this be the day in which the Lakers win their first championship since 2010?

Unless pio2u I asked you to make this thread, I rebuke this thread and I will wait for his. He has made most of the game threads and all of the Playoffs threads and he deserves to make what could very well be the final Finals thread. There is no need to try and leap in last minute and usurp him.

If the Lakers play defense like they did tonight, they'll be in good shape.

Of note, the Lakers outscored the Heat by 5 in the first, 3 in the 3rd, and of course 1 in the fourth. This after not outscoring the Heat in the prior 6 quarters - that's good news.

I expect to see JB start chucking deep shots, which the Lakers need to prepare for. Without JB going off the Heat are still a battle, but much more human. If he starts hitting those the Lakers will need to adjust their D again, and I would include more doubles [interestingly the two times I recall them doing that to JB he turned the ball over].

I really hope AD is able to get a bit more loose in game 5...listening to his post game comments it sounded like he was saying he was conserving energy for the defensive end - which makes sense, he was the prime anchor, swatting key shots, altering shots, and otherwise helping them smother the Heat attack.

FOUR. ONE.

It's been the same theme throughout this playoff. The opposing team shows their secret weapon and then Vogel adjusts and counters and then they don't have an answer. That's why they all were able to only win one game from the Lakers. This series is no exception. Bag it up. Time to partayyy!!
