Of all the games that Jimmy Butler could get hurt, it's Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers.

I don't see LeBron or Davis having any serious injuries, what kind of steroids are they on

AD has had his fair share of injuries in his career thus far but Lebron, yeah, something ain't right there...

What's with the blue baselines? That looks awful!

LOL, Lakers close the second quarter on a 24-5 run. Way to go, Miami.

And OF COURSE Butler gets hurt now, as opposed to during the Boston series. I never want guys to get hurt, but the timing of this is just ridiculous.

And of course LeBron—who's 35 and missed 27 games last season—and AD—who's been injured nearly every year of his career—have gone through this season with no major dings, and appear to be the picture of health right now.

LeBron on some serious steroids. There is no way for an athlete like him that he's never torn an ACL, an Achilles, MCL damages or any of those sorts.

Of course he is. No way he could stay so healthy at such an advanced-for-basketball age, and with so many miles on his wheels. I wouldn't be surprised if the NBA knows about it too, but they want to ensure their "Lakers win it for Kobe!" storyline, so they look the other way.

[dang]! Dragic is out , questionable to return. Also Herro suddenly looks like he forgot how to shoot. The Lakers really have no competition in these playoffs.

This could be one of the worst Finals matchups in recent history by the time its over.

Miami look worse than a #8 seed

The Celtics should have been the Finals, but they couldn't even hang with Miami so that's a major problem.

I think the NBA just lost the majority of their viewers for the rest of the Finals.

Davis single handedly killing the Heat

Adebayo cant do anything against him

Timelord did a good job on Adebayo also. Yet Brad kept electing to go with Theis

Heat won due to Celts slip up

When was the last time that a team won the title when none of the main stars on the roster were either drafted by the team or had been on the team for at least a few seasons?

I can't think of an example going all the way back to before the Bird / Magic years.

This Lakers team would probably be the most soulless, mercenary title winner ever.

Good. I hope the ratings tank and they lose an assload of money.

F this rigged league.

And it sucks because this mercenary title-winning team will tie us in banners this year.

And we are gonna hear all the flack from LAL fans and NBA fans on who the superior franchise is.  :(

Adebayo looks like he's just about done too. He's in pain practically every play.

S**t.  Why couldn't the Heat play like this against us?  They look like trash.  Giving up layups, open threes, offensive rebounds, they're stopping literally nothing.  Butler is the only Heat player who looks like he belongs on this court.
