I'm talking just in general.
We really relying on Morris who didnt score or rebound (till the end)
Maybe thats on Vogel though. Morris hasnt earned play late when you've done nothing all game status.

On one hand I don't want to overreact considering how close they were to winning. But fukk the efficiency shyt. When AD and Bron see the other guys aren't hitting I want them taking more than 21 and 15 shots. When shooting at that high of a percentage it just says to me they aren't shooting enough. Lebron had an insane night but that's also one of those games where I'd like to see him step on the gas even more and get up to 30 shots if need be. They also need AD to be more aggressive and in more of an attacking mindset. He's unstoppable when he says fukk it and just goes for his but he plays like he's waiting for the double to try and set someone else up.
Again they were both amazing last night and all series but for one game I just want to see them say fukk the role players and go for theirs and force the Heat to truly collapse on them and create more open looks for the teammates.

When I saw Danny Green coming into the game I screamed "WHY?" out loud. My girl was looking at me crazy.

He's doing what I used to compliment Kawhi on. He's down to blend in and play the team game when the offense is clicking and everything is flowing but when the offense is struggling he'll step up and try to take over. Doesn't give a damn about his stats. Even with Philly in the playoffs he had some huge games when Simmons and Embiid were struggling. From what I remember his biggest beef with the team was the coaches not holding anybody accountable when they were fukking up which leads to them not improving or fixing mistakes. Spo is a great coach that by all accounts holds everybody accountable and is great at making adjustments. Something we all know Brett Brown was bad at.double Jimmy and let the heat 3pt shooters kill you as laker 3pt defense is poorguard jimmy man to man and let him torch you
we have a real dilemma, brehs

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
AD needs to get his ass in the post and dominate there
Lebron needs to be aggressive like G5 again
cant trust the role players, if they perform then great but can’t let them dictate the NBA Finals

I don’t understand why the Lakers are having so many breakdowns and not communicating on defense. If they’ve been great at one thing this year it was being disciplined on defense and making adjustments.
This is the oldest team in the league but now they keep making rookie mistakes and giving 100% effort fleetingly except for a few players.

If our bench players hit their open shots we would blow them out every game. Jimmy and heat playing excellent hats off but we losing because our bench can’t do anything

Miami is doing some slick shyt to open things up to and they're doing a great job of taking advantage of LA's team defense. Part of being able to have a great team defense is being aware of everything happening on the court. So Miami added in actions so that when Lakers turn their heads to look for picks they make a sharp cut at the time of the head turn if even for a split second. In other sets they are running double screeners and switching up the action out of the same look. Lakers can't face guard shooters and stick to them since Miami runs so many screens and misdirections and they have to communicate how to react to them which Miami is then making additional actions based off of that. For every adjustment the Lakers make defensively the Heat have counters in place. Spoelstra is coaching his ass off in this series.
That's the point though. We know the bench is full of inconsistent shooters. Being one game away at some point if the bench doesn't have it going AD and Lebron have to say fukk it and do it for themselves. Especially while needing only one win. It's not sustainable over a full season or playoff round but one win away they can totally carry the team to a win.

We really expected a dude who used to so this with Bron to come through in the clutch??
