Danny Green is shooting under 30% from the floor and three since the conference finals started. For the entirety of the playoffs, he is 34.4% overall and 33.3% from three. The man is useless.

But it’s also basically the same percentages he shot in the playoffs last year with Toronto.

He hasn’t shot over 35% from three in a single playoff run since 2016.

I get why he's on a roster (he's a smart, charasmatic guy), but looking over his stats, I don't get why he's on the court as much as he is. He's a good defender but on offense his career numbers are borderline bad.

You wanted to see Danny Green drive to the basket? lol

drive the ball, all the way to the basket is a no. He has done a lot of that in NBA playoff, especially at Spurs. It's not hard to take one or two dribbles when the defense completely collapses as the heat did.

I said this earlier . He wasn’t really good last year in Toronto . If you saw the reaction to the signing you would have thought he was an elite role player .

Last year it felt like every Toronto run happened when he went to the bench

Guy can defend though.

Well Danny Green may be a very great player, but whoever's sending death threats to him and his fiancee needs to have the book thrown at 'em. :/

What? Impossible. I was told only Kentucky fans do this sort of thing.

Here we go. If you can get it to a game 7, anything can happen.

Bam needs to keep AD from running wild.

 

[DraftCat]

I'm drinking for this one y'all...... LA better win tonight I can't handle a game 7

 

[DraftCat]

I'm a Lakers fan but the media now even with the Heat having 2 wins is not show casing them enough.

Jimmy is an absolute warrior. Herro and Bam are future all-stars.

Their GM Pat Riley? LEGEND.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Miami in full panic mode

 

[DraftCat]

Playoff Rondo is here for Game 6

 

[Baller Cal]

Rondo is going to have The Heat throwing water bottles at TV's during halftime........

 

[DraftCat]

Lakers win tonight or they lose the series.... up 19 at this point

 

[Baller Cal]

Announcers jinx on Davis' 38 straight playoff free throws.....promptly misses a pair.

 

[akaukswoosh]

BOTH the Lakers and Heat want to get on a plane tomorrow and go home.

 

[DraftCat]

KCP with two daggers in the 2nd????

 

[DraftCat]

Lakers up 28 at half time...... would take a all-time collapse for the Lakers to screw this one up.

AD and Rondo +1 in the ring department

 

[Shaudylo]

Welp I will be watching football the rest of the night .
I’ll turn back to see the celebration

 

[ChicagoCat90]

I just wanted to see good basketball from both teams but one of them wet the bed

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Credit to LA though. Their defense was suffocating

When Lakers are locked in they do turn into an all-time defense. Curious to see the stats on it

 

[king of cali]

Rondo with a +23 in 14 minutes. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

Rondo saved his best game it seems for this one. He's making all his lay ups and hitting the right reads. Haven't saw a mistake yet.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

Really pisses me off that James has weaseled his way into finals mvp. Davis had it locked down after the first couple games then James went into stat mode. He can claim he doesn’t care about that all he wants but he clearly doesn’t. He threw a fit over Giannis winning mvp again.

As much as I want to agree with you... Davis game 3 gave him no shot

Sadly you’re likely right

Sadly you’re likely right

That said.... AD is 1 Quarter away from being an NBA champion. UK 1st superstar in how long???

 

[TigerMoving]

Lol at all the ppl who thought the Lakers couldn't win without Ingram, Ball and Hart. Role players are always replaceable when you have the superstars

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

um Davis needs to quit being a V. Nothing really wrong with him. Think Butler would be limping around like a ***** with what happened to AD?

He showed up when it mattered tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

He's our only historical all-time superstar.

 

[wentzel25]

Lakers have been so, so much better than Miami all series. I've never seen so many low-quality just poor shots fall for a team as they did for the Heat in these games. They've finally regressed to the mean.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Glad this season is finally gonna end its been entertaining they served the purpose and sure them guys wanna get out of that bubble.
LeBron done the right thing with the restart for fans and Kobe.I know some think he's a bum but without his support NBA would have been home til a new CBA, could've been ugly,they have alittle leverage with the talks next year now.Hope we get cousins and Rondo with them next season and home away games.This was a good tournament even though ratings were bad. Should see things back to normal and there will be NBA again after New Years.Cats will have to give us basketball junkies sum bones.

 

[Baller Cal]

Can The Heat get over the hump without having to trade Bam? Can they add another big and keep him and get over the hump?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Rondo made all our message board haters look like silly clowns all playoffs.

19 off the bench tonight. Most bench assists by a player since 1971 and he did it with missing the first round.

I freaking love how he made some of you look so dumb when you wrote him off a few years ago!

 

[DraftCat]

I don't care how cliche it has became... but Kobe this was for you!!!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Congrats Rondo and AD!!!

 

[BassProCat]

Happy for AD and Rondo and Vogel!!

 

[SuporChin]

AD about to join an elite group of winning a championship in college and pro.
