Has nothing to do with rotations. The Lakers were just awful and their stars were even worse. Miami came out like it was an elimination game, might as well have been. They wanted it more and Jimmy Butler put them on his back. Great game by Miami. Lakers in 5.

WeissVonner:
If you know, you know

WolvyX5:
I really hate Lakers rotation in this game. Play full strength and put dis fucking series to rest abeg. So annoying. Wats wiv d stupid experiment

WeissVonner:
If they can get someone like Kawhi of course. But I don't think they should go for any other wing at the expense of Giannis. One of them may have to move to the 5 during the playoffs but it will absolutely be worth it. Bron handling the ball, two knockdown 3 and D players, Giannis and AD at 4 and 5. That's a cheat code.

NBA FINALS RATINGS GAME 1 by year since 2016:

2016: 17.4 million
2017: 15.7 million
2018: 17.4 million
2019: 13.3 million
2020: 7.4 million

I think it will bounce back next year. These are just weird circumstances.

I think Chris Broussard is becoming like Rob as well in his hatred for LeBron, I've been wondering how he's changed in the last few weeks from admiring LeBron and the Lakers to saying that LeBron can never be MJ on Tuesday because he can never match 6-0. This was a guy that was giving daily updates on Kawhi's movements to the Lakers in the off-season, and for him to suddenly switch to the other side could be because of spending too much time with Rob. And Chris has been salty since the Clippers blew the 3-1 lead as well, I still don't get why a supposed Pastor could have so much hate in his heart.

WeissVonner:
Recency bias. They have been trying to crown a new king for a very long time now. People always want something new and shiny. Love how it kept blowing up in their faces.

The funny thing is the person you're speaking of is a big fan of Rob Parker. They actually interacted on twitter.

Like seriously, how can someone be a fan or Rob Parker? It's disgusting.

WeissVonner:
Yeah but remember after hitting that shot he said he wants moments like these. I dont think any superstar will appreciate not having at least a few touches in the fourth. I don't know, yesterday just seemed weird. Hopefully it was nothing too serious.

xwolverine:
Rob Parker? lol. I've not heard from him in a while, people are beginning to see his unbiased hatred and have stopped inviting him to the popular sport shows. His voice is very nauseating to say the least

WeissVonner:
I really hope so. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but AD was on fire in the third and barely got much of the ball in the fourth. They were pissed about defensive lapses last game but the body language was different. And Bron having to go whisper something into ADs ear after the game was over and when asked about it he said "in house", if it were about defensive lapses I don't think he'd have to have to be so obscure. Like I said, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Things like this are bound to happen but I hope they figure it out. They have something special here and I would hate to see them ruin it. If Bron does win FMVP like it looks like he will, his legacy is set in stone and I hope he hands all the keys to AD next season and allows him to fully come into his own. Push him for MVP and DPOY. Allow him to fully take control of the team and maybe he can ride his coattails to a few more championships. Bron on the other hand can focus on things like another assist title, another all NBA team and maybe even another all defensive team (should have made one this year but for those...narratives) I know the Lakers will get a marquee free agent in 2021 so they will be a championship team for the foreseeable future. Two or three more championships aren't completely off the table for them.

WeissVonner:
Funny thing is I noticed a trend of certain "analysts" who have consistently picked against the Lakers up until the end. Guys like Tim Bontemps and Nick Friedell have been mocking the Lakers since day 1, and even in these finals they picked Miami to beat them. They can't even hide their bias. That idiot Chris Mannix said the Lakers were more likely to miss the Playoffs than win a Championship. I won't even count clowns like Rob Parker and Skip Bayless who claimed LeBron will never win again because he went to LA for movies because those two are just irredeemable scumbags. Now all these guys will turn around and call it the easiest championship ever. LOL

Natural born beta. I see..

WeissVonner:
It seems you keep losing touch of the arguments you're pushing.

WeissVonner:
I will say first hand though, when KD hit that dagger 3 in game 3 against the cavs in 2017, that was one of the worst sports moments of my life. I still have nightmares of that shot. But it begs the question, where was all of that big shot making and mean mugging when he went 3-1 up against the warriors?

WeissVonner:
When someone references the number of points Rodman scored during an argument it really just points to their lack of knowledge of basketball.

WeissVonner:
If you;re naive enough to ignore the sort of influence LeBron wields over the players thats on you. Besides, this is another straw man. Point is you claimed Bron wanted to end the season which is a bold faced lie.

chic2pimp:
You said yourself "He'll need a quality playmaker". Who in the current Bucks squad can you confidently say is a quality playmaker? The end result would have remained the same had you swapped Giannis for AD.

Which promising team(s) do you think He should have gone too? Which one of those teams would have given a shot at 2 rings? Remember the team He was leaving behind could also be described as promising too. Dude was done waiting. He was in the Win Now mode.

Exactly His Leagacy is secure. Chuck wishes He had teamed up with a Clyde or Ewing early on in His career. Must be frustrating having the likes of Kenny Smith and Draymond take the mic. Dudes that were/are not in His strastophere as players.

Everybody knows it’s better for your legacy to lose before the Finals than lose in the Finals. IYKYK

SmooshCHN:
The Lakers are winning the chip. There's levels to this shit abeg. Dragic, Butler and Bam's injury won't help either. These media people should stop acting like the Lakers are good.

Fúck Kawhi and the Clippers anyways. Biggest frauds in LA.

Don't think I haven't noticed you bouncing in and out of this thread without commenting for the past week. I know why you've gone into hiding. You don't have to, I'll take it easy on you, I promise.
