I usually hate the free throw hunting offense, but seeing it employed successfully against a LeBron team feels like justice to me.


Jimmy was unreal in that game.  I wish it felt more sustainable.  Only shot for the Heat to make this a series is for Bam to come back and for the Heat to rediscover some of the magic they had against the Celts.  If the Heat get a great shooting game from their supporting cast and the Lakers' shooters fall back to earth a bit, they could even this up.  I'm not super optimistic about that happening, but who knows.


Even if this still ends in 5, I'm glad and thankful that something memorable / remarkable came out of this Finals other than the Heat losing two of their best three players to injury in the first half of Game 1.

In a weird twist of events, the Heat might be better off without Bam in this series unless they can scheme things up for him.

I think they 100% need the Bam who dominated the ECF in order to counterbalance AD.

This is assuming AD doesn't no-show Game 4, 5, 6 the way he no-showed Game 3.

I would trade Romeo plus the 3 picks this year plus a future unprotected pick for Robinson .. I think he is the perfect role player with 15 years in front of him

Dear lord, 4 first round picks and a recent lottery pick for a 26 year-old who is at best going to have a Kyle Korver-like career? That's an unbelievably terrible trade.

He's also already 26, so I doubt 15 years is in front of him

Michael jordan didn’t get the treatment lebron gets from the refs. Makes these games unbearable.

I think it's exaggerated because of how physically strong he is. Like, we all know that this contact doesn't bother him - he's the most physically impressive wing in the NBA of all time. Yet he flails around like a soft breeze can knock him over when he's playing for a call.

Given what guys like a 6' 165lb AI or our very own 5'9" 18lb IT went through contact-wise, and didn't cry 1/4 as much as LBJ does, it really irks me.

Yeah, it's not the flailing and flopping that bothers me, it's the whining and complaining afterwards, even for out of bounds plays.

The Heat are missing so many wide open 3s. Why couldn't they do that against us more often??  :P

We’d be unstoppable with him. Gotta give up something to get something

Herro still has some rookie in him, lol.  He just passed up an open three to take a contested fading three just a couple of seconds later.

Yeah, youngest player to ever play in the finals. He's going to do some frustrating things out there. If he's still doing the same things 2 years from now then I'd be worried.

Just growing pains, is all.

Miami overmatched when going half court. They can't get anything going on offense. You have to wonder how different this game would be if Dragic was healthy.
