Butler said they can keep winning if they keep LA off of the boards. Bam would help a ton.
I said Lebron was ahead after the first 2 games. In those 2 games he had 2 total turnovers. They both sucked in their own way in game 3 but for the series, Lebron has 10 turnovers to Davis' 9.

Not gonna go there. But I would much rather watch college football or even an early season NFL game than the NBA Finals. I strongly suspect I am not alone.
Here's a stat for you. Since Lebron entered the league, only two teams have been swept in the Finals...
Lebron's 2007 Cavs team
Lebron's 2018 Cavs team
Lebron's 2007 Cavs team
Lebron's 2018 Cavs team
I was using the term Black out mainly because all you see with the NBA is something using the term Black.
He’s been to the finals more than any organization in basketball since entering the league
And his teams are the only ones to get swept while he's been in the league.
I mean it’s better than never being there in the first place. The 2007 team had no chance. It’s the worst finals team in nba history. He didn’t have a chance. In 2018 he averaged a nearly 40 point triple double. It’s probably the second worst team to make the finals.
those teams should have had no chance to even get there; LeBron drug them into the finals himself. I’m not a LJ fan, but I’ll give him credit for that.
It was bad I'll give you that but in 2007 he beat the pistons pretty much by himself to get to the finals and then in 2018 they were the 4 seed and swept the 1 seed raptors who a year later had a championship run.
Yeah and that Raptors team in 2019 added Kawhi Leonard (and Marc Gasol) that year and saw the emergence of two of their centerpieces for 2020, hardly the same team as in 2018.
They were the 1 seed in 2018 with the second best record in the NBA. They lost Kawhi and Marc for 28 games in a shortened season and ended up with the 2 seed and the second best record in the NBA. I get what you are saying they clearly weren't championship front runners but those dudes weren't bums.
What's crazy about the '07 Finals is that San Antonio only averaged about five more points per game than Cleveland. If Lebron hadn't shot 35%, as terrible as that Cleveland team was, they still might've won.
Probably could have won a couple of games but idk man that dude was just so beat down by the time he made it there and hes being asked to score every point and take every tough shot at 21 years old in the finals with his second best player being? Probably Big Z...it was just a tough situation. The only finals I blame him for losing is that 2011 finals where he just shut down and the pressure became too much.
Bam is IN for tonight.
Go heat. Down with LeBum.
Go heat. Down with LeBum.
Siakam and VanVleet were worlds better this year compared to last year and two years ago though. That's why they didn't miss much of a beat in the regular season. Onunoby was also available for the playoffs this year, unlike last year.
I got eye cancer after looking up that 2007 roster to verify for myself Ilgauskas was the second best player. He's a solid player but should be no better than a 4th option on an NBA team during that era. Would struggle sticking in the league these days with the way the game is played.
big lakers fan?
i am more of a UK fan. As long as our guys play, I am excited.
EDIT: Also, AD is guarding butler, and he can't do anything against AD.
Yup grew up watching Kobe in Shaq in the late 90's early 00's only team on TV back then. I started appreciate the NBA more as I got older as well.
I enjoy the spacing of the game compared to colleges slugfest style
Bam will be in the rest of the game, which will be a game-changer for Miami.
It'll be close. Will need to see some effort from the whole team and no sloppy plays.
