NBA Finals: Heat vs. Lakers

[DC23]

Lakers in 6.

[Rummpd]

Agree but want the opposite

[timtonymanu]

I say Lakers in 6 too

[Texas_Ranger]

lakers in 4

[SuperCam]

Easiest finals opponent of LeKang's career, tbh. Will be nice to be on the other wide of a sweep :tu

[Rummpd]

Lakers will not sweep

[daslicer]

Lakers in 5

[lefty]

SAN ANTONIO HEAT !!!!!

[Kawhitstorm]

SAN ANTONIO HEAT !!!!!

[lefty]

Quinn is an assistant coach?

:lol forgot he existed tbh

[lefty]

:lol Rachel shitting on Chicago and Minny

:lol she got shat on by Spo though, when she tried to bring up the Lebron vs his former team narrative

[Kyle_Kuzma]

heat honestly concerns me. all them guys are dogs and they got a real coach that knows how to plan and scheme shit.


i suspect a tough 6-7 game series.


bam adebayo gonna give AD real work on both ends. we aint got no one that can stop that point center beast...UNLESS AD MANS UP AND TAKES THAT TASK. dwight might bring some value here but it ain’t gonna be the same as that denver series. Bam aint no punk booty.

herro and duncan robinson will be a tough cover. playoff iggy is a thing

dragic has enough smarts to counter rondo.


if the rooks and sophomores continue to play at this level and jimmy B plays comes back to All Star form its Heat in 7.

this gives me a lakers-detroit finals vibes tbh

no cap

[RD2191]

Toss up series if the refs let them play. I highly doubt it though so Lakers in 6.

[SuperCam]

the jimmy buckets heat rely on two american white guards to win games, LeGOATS is lauhing his azz off right now :lol

I respect the heat so much and they’ve had a good run but we will not lose and I’m not being annoying or cocky but this series won’t go past 6 games

[Robz4000]

Lakerefs in 5.

[Chris Fall]

This is where I think Lakers can stay big and not be forced to go small to match up with Miami. If Miami stays small, put AD on Crowder and Dwight/McGee on Bam most of the game and let them use up all their fouls.

Spo prolly got a few tricks he's been waiting to use tho.

[TD 21]

Lakers in 6 for the obvious: By far the two best players + urgency.

They need to go modern though. Bench McGee, have Howard backup Davis and hide him on Crowder/Iguodala.

Heat have a chance because Adebayo to defend Davis, Butler, Iguodala, Crowder to defend James and explosive 3-point shooting.

[Killakobe81]

Lakers in 6
But I too get Pistons in 2004 vibes ...

[timtonymanu]

Difference between 04 Lakers and this team is I don’t think this team is underestimating Miami at all. LeBron looks focused and this Lakers team had a lot to prove coming in this year. They won’t let up.

[Arcadian]

Would be funny if Lebron lost to his old team.

[Dirks_Finale]

Should be an LA sweep but they aren't interested enough to him them with a kill shot. Lakers in 6.

[Dirks_Finale]

Would be funny if Lebron lost to his old team.

That would be great - 3-7 Finals Lebron :lol

Poor Caruso would be the scapegoat :lol

[D-Wade]

Heat in 7. El Bee Jay has a losing record in Florida against Miami since he left South Beach .

[DMC]

I doubt many fans show up either way.

[phxspurfan]

Heat no match for LeBron, motivated AD, and the refs. Lakers in 5

[SpurSpike]

Its funny that the Lakers should have the homecourt advantage but its actually pseudo going to the Heat. Maybe that's why they been playing so well lol.

The obligatory story from LA land about be wary of upset. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2020-09-27/heat-defeat-celtics-advance-to-nba-finals-against-lakers

Here is hoping they at least scare the LAL. I have not watched enough of the Heat to say if they even have a chance but perhaps they believe they do?

Lakers in 6 for me but I wouldnt be stunned if Heat win. They're legit. Lakers are a bunch of misfits no one wanted featuring two superstars. I love that Kiwi tried so hard to derail the Lakers in the beginning of the season and they still made the finals.

[Rummpd]

I think personally an over respected Heat is emerging as Denver minus injuries and nebulous calls was best hope to knock off Lakers but hope wrong! If Heat beat LAL arguably the greatest upset ever!

[LkrFan]

Sample of perimeter defense featuring CaruSHOW and Dwert
https://twitter.com/_JasonLT/status/1310661350192939008?s=09

Bam, Leonard and whoever they got at center is not the 3pt threat Joker is. Bam is a good passer though.

Go Heat! How can anyone root for:

LaRoid - pseudo GOAT and media fav
DaQuit he totally bailed on Pelicans in infamous manner proving he is not a leader
HOward - father to a football team who has wasted great ability
Rondo - simply an unlikeable star who did not produce and kissed off a lot in Boston
Various scrubs for coat-tailing (I do like Kuzma and he dates a model with vitiligo and I admire that and coach seems classy.)

However cannot root for them.

lebron a philanthropist, a great father and a social justice advocate. GOAT athlete on and off the court.
dwight by all accounts has been a model teammate. plays hard and no logged complaints this year
rondo a true general on the floor. gets major kudos for decking CPO btw :lol
AD- was willing to rot under a racist ownership like NOLA, all for the name of loyalty before LeGoat saved him from the owners cotton picking mentality :wow

even a lifetime dickhead like that morris twin has displayed great behavior. JR and Dion havin fun on the bench without instigating shit :lol


even the drunk KCP was sober all season long.

j kidd, dwight, rondo, kieff morris, dion, JR. all elite douchebags :lmao and yet there WAS ZERO incident of backstabbing, displeasure or bitching. NONE

[Rummpd]

No one on for 20 hours likely the lowest rated finals ever? LAL is rightfully favored but has despicable superstars and little else and Miami is totally disrespected despite the “Heat Way” with a guy named Bam is in a contest to be biggest star with the peripatetic Butler / will I watch? Probably but only due to hoping for the miracle upset.

Rohan Nadkarni: Heat over Lakers in five

La Spoelstra Nostra. Culture. The Godfather. The (More Recent (https://www.si.com/nba/2020/09/16/bam-adebayo-block-player-reactions)) Block. We Got Shooters. How many more Heat platitudes do I have to throw at you? After sheepishly picking the Celtics in the conference finals, I'm going with my heart over my head for the championship round. (I grew up in South Florida, and I'm one of maybe six people who own a pair of Dwyane Wade’s “Biscayne” Jordans (http://jordansdaily.com/2012/05/31/jordan-fly-wade-2-ev-biscayne/).) All of this means I'm picking the Heat.
Erik Spoelstra has never lost to Frank Vogel in the playoffs, I’m supposed to believe he’s going to start now? Pat Riley will come down from his plexiglass case of non-emotions and Armani suit-up as an assistant coach if it means taking down LeBron in the Finals. The Lakers were built to win a championship, acquiring top-flight talents in James and Davis and surrounding them with mostly veteran mercenaries. The Heat were built for the bubble, a close-knit group with a comical (and frankly, overwrought) dedication to the grind. This series is a clash of styles, both on the court and in the front office. The Heat have already knocked out the MVP (88 first-place votes, baby!) and the No. 1 seed in the league. I’m not going to fight them anymore.
Give me Rick Ross over Ice Cube. Give me Udonis Haslem over Wilt Chamberlain. Give me South Beach Riley over Malibu Riley. Give me the Heat over the Lakers.

[Joseph Kony]

Bron is going to do what he does to every new foe facing him for the first time. he's going to shit on Miami the same way he shit on Denver imho. Lakers still easily have the two best players in this series

No he absolutely quit on the Pelicans and demanded to get traded when he could not lead. Even wore a T-shirt to proclaim that is all folks. Enough for me.

Gave them 7 years and that stupid fucken owner and GM never put a true team together other than the year boogie went down . I doubt if he stayed one more year then came it would change how you feel lol

btw everyone bashed AD here when we got him how he’s a diva, soft , made of glass, won’t last the season , will choke,

but now since he’s been easily the best player in these playoffs . Not jimmy, not Lebron not kiwi not pg not Giannis. So now that he’s putting up these amazing TD Type numbers everyone mad lol . AD always had the potential to be this amazing for a finals run but obviously needed a true #2.

[Rummpd]

Davis is a fabulous all-around player and seems to be otherwise a nice person/ no one can deny that - too bad his legacy is already stained forever.

I'm surprised more white Americans haven't jumped on the Heat bandwagon. They're giving hope that white American players might actually have a chance of being relevant again.

Is it because Herro is a little "different" than John Stockon and Jeff Hornacek?:lol

[140]

As Ive been saying since the start of the season this years title is the lakers to lose, they have the best team in the NBA by far so any other result will be a huge choke

As ive been saying since the start of the bubble though this will be the biggest asterisk title in NBA history regardless of who wins, no two ways about it tbh

[Rummpd]

Just bet on the Heat a small amount for game 1 at a legal sports book and almost assuredly throwing $ away but had to give it a shot.

Only really bad officiating was first nebulous foul on Bam - truth is LAL got insanely hot from three opening up inside and Heat waffled- series over unless they find something as LAL role players dominated Heat’s.

even he can't talk his way into lakerref being the difference tonight :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

God damn Laker are going to beat out 2014 for biggest winning margin in the finals. Another shitting on Spur fan :lol

Hopefully, the game is within 20 in the 4th quarter so LeBrat can stat pad like Porker

[daslicer]

This game was entertaining for a quarter and a half.

[spurstalk123456]

If the Clippers or Nets dont step the fuck up LeBron is seriously going to end up with 7 rings.

[Mitch]

Like always, even in this weird year, the East is still garbage.

[Kawhitstorm]

I was looking forward to this matchup. When Caruso came in the game turned. Really good role player.

12 shots & -39 in 20 minutes, dude can’t even hold Delly’s jockstrap :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Don't underestimate this Heat team, it's just 1 game. They have an elite 2-way player in Butler, a star in Bam, the best white american player I've ever seen and the best coach in the league.

Also, don't forget that Lebron is doing this while playing a major role in the upcoming voting process, his mind isn't entirely on basketball.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I was supposed to be impressed by this heat team? They’re small and unathletic

Yeah they might be lucky just to lose by single digits next game

[timtonymanu]

Lol the 04 pistons comparison. There’s no way this lakers team was taking the Heat for granted.

[phxspurfan]

I was supposed to be impressed by this heat team? They’re tired and injured after the NBA forced them into a long series while letting the Lakers rest


FIFY



Classic NBA move tbh. They'll be an entirely different team on Friday night if they get their guys Dragic and Bam back. They're playing Nunn who hasn't started a game since he got Covid apparently, and without Bam, which is their heart and soul.

[Laker_1995]

even he can't talk his way into lakerref being the difference tonight :lol

prolly saving his LakerRef post for a call in game 2.

[Kawhitstorm]

They’re more like the ‘03 Pistons sans Sheed

This kid Herro is Caruso with a full head of hair.

[scanry]

Davis will walk away with the finals MVP if bron doesn't stat pad. Davis has been the league's best player this playoffs

[Killakobe81]

Game and series not over.

[daslicer]

Davis will walk away with the finals MVP if bron doesn't stat pad. Davis has been the league's best player this playoffs

That could be the only interesting thing to watch in this series now to see who gets Finals MVP.

Just take the L and get your money back with Ravens -13 this week nigga

[Bynumite]

I've had money on the Lakers since pre-season over a year ago. Harlem is a clown :lmao

He thought the Bucks and Clippers were making the Finals even during bubble play :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

In all seriousness, though, you can't have players like Duncan Robinson playing big minutes in a finals game in 2020. This is what Jordan faced almost every night:lol the Utah Jazz had 6 white American players in their rotation in back to back Finals.

Bringing titles to 3 different franchises with different supporting casts and coaches in different conferences. All while being distracted by politics and being forced to play in a bubble. Unbelievable, we'll never see anybody like this again in pro sports. Don't forget that the Lakers were a complete disaster and a laughingstock for most of this decade after Kobe and the Buss kids buried them.

[HarlemHeat37]

Just take the L and get your money back with Ravens -13 this week nigga

I barely bet large figures on the NBA anymore, tbh:lol. I lost big on the Clippers, but I'll probably break even after the Lakers' last 2 series

Soccer is where the easiest money is, you should start looking into it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Jordan was missing the playoffs in the worst East in history in back-to-back seasons at the same stage of his career:lol

[Spurtacular]

Just watched the highlights. A 13-point deficit is nothing to these guys.

LakerRefs in 5.

[Spurtacular]

That could be the only interesting thing to watch in this series now to see who gets Finals MVP.

Nothing interesting about rigged games that aren't even close.
I'd rather watch a rerun of an old TV show or YT clips of just about anything.
I hope their ratings are sh**.

[Chillen]

Jordan was missing the playoffs in the worst East in history in back-to-back seasons at the same stage of his career:lol

Jordan came back with Wizards because the Wizards owner promised him ownership and lied. He wasn't playing to win a ring but it would have been a nice luxury. That Wizards team was like LeBron's first season with Lakers, no extra star and a team with no championship or playoff experience. Good coach in Doug Collins though.

If Jordan wanted to win another ring he should have signed with Spurs for those remaining seasons. Of course what happened with Lakers and LeBron getting Anthony Davis is like Tim Duncan being traded to Wizards to pair with MJ just a game changer.

[TampaDude]

2011 Mavs were on a mission.

2020 Heat are goin' fishin'.

[99 Problems]

Tbh Bron had Dezellederolla as a team mate for two seasons in his hometown, this sets him apart from most superstars and is going to help to realise chip number 4.

[Rummpd]

This series is almost fully over as role players of Lakers also dominating and Heat injured - Bam got that nebulous first foul but even with that Heat looked by the half like they had no answers. Played scared. If Heat even win two games now I will be amazed but will be pulling for them. And yes Davis is MVP as draws double teams leaving others wide open and is quick defending the Heat bigs. Out.

[JamStone]

Heat really folded but ya on the 5 on 8 front.....

The play where LeRoids drove the lane, tried his bullying per usual, missed shot. In going for O rebound he elbows Heat Dreadlocks Forward just below the neck. After play Dreadlocks rightfully gave LeRoids a death stare and it was not fake. Fake AD got between them. Refs pranced LeRoids to the line. ABC Lakers made absolute zero attempt to replay and per usual when covering they did a replay of a previous play all while avoiding what just came down. Roids sinks one of two and we never hear of it again.

Flagrant?

[Chucho]

This should have/probably would have been a sweep for the LOLakers before the injuries. Now it's even smoother sailing for the saddest, most irrelevant "championship" ever.


Need to rename this shit AsteriskBowl 2020.


:lol playing for det juicy *

[Chucho]

Game and series not over.


Yeah right. The Heat are the biggest lame duck Eastern Conference finalists since the Kidd Nets were butchered back to back.

Yuse guys have the clearest, smoothest sailing to a "title" in our lifetimes.

Being one of the few decent blokes to stick around during the dark ages, you deserve to have this moment. Cheers.

[Laker_1995]

heat honestly concerns me. all them guys are dogs and they got a real coach that knows how to plan and scheme shit.


i suspect a tough 6-7 game series.


bam adebayo gonna give AD real work on both ends. we aint got no one that can stop that point center beast...UNLESS AD MANS UP AND TAKES THAT TASK. dwight might bring some value here but it ain’t gonna be the same as that denver series. Bam aint no punk booty.

herro and duncan robinson will be a tough cover. playoff iggy is a thing

dragic has enough smarts to counter rondo.


if the rooks and sophomores continue to play at this level and jimmy B plays comes back to All Star form its Heat in 7.

this gives me a lakers-detroit finals vibes tbh

no cap

Ahh so they made sure Giannis and kawahi chocked even though they were the two best players in the nba supposedly all year long. And they ensured Denver would come back from 3-1 to take out the clippers as well.

gotchu . Funny how when the year started it was all “ watch when we see the clippers “ now it’s “ they handed us the ring “ lmao .

They didn't make those guys choke but they sure as hell got lucky that they did, considering mid year and last year (Bucks) they looked like world beaters. Btw also got lucky Celtics totally imploded and even Raptors flamed out, bc they were scary good earlier in the playoffs as well. And of course all the injuries. Imagine if LeRoids or AD had a plantar fascia tear, shoulder owie, broken back, got kneed in the thigh, etc and how different things would look for your beloved 2 man show.

literally shut up, every team that wins championships catches breaks. look at your spurs, 99 short season and playing 8 seed in finals, 03 dirk gets hurt, 05 joe johnson hurt, 07 the mavs and pistons both knocked out early + Amare trash suspension, 14 wade playing injured

it happens to everyone basically every run.

[Rummpd]

What happened then to your Bucks? They simply gagged and lost badly to inferior team, and by the was born nearby and root also for them.

[Rummpd]

the bucks have absolutely nothing to do with the subject of championship teams catching breaks. they are not a championship team.

That has been obviously proven true but they were the heavy Eastern favorites with a 2x MVP and DVP with a historic PER and were on pace 65 plus win season with dominant point differential; and to get beat down so bad has to hurt. At least Heat have stars with injuries.

[GAustex]

Super low iq poster.

99 all teams played same # of games. Full playoffs
03 as if Dork was going to beat the Spurs
05 as if Joe Johnson was going to beat the Spurs
07 STFU. 06 your little bitch wouldn't even be there except for the "Step on your foot, foul on you" rigging.
