insane ending lmao score was 108-107 and neither team scored for like 2 straight minutes

[–]Heatrealudonishaslem 461 points462 points  (4 children)

Sounds like a classic Heat regular season game to me

[–]Heattriosway 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yep. I knew we'd either lose by 10 or win by one possession. There was no other way it could have gone. Orlando can blow them out of the building but we'll have no such luxury, even with AD out

    Nah, it’s normal. We’re still developing the brew. Should be ready around February.

    Wasnt it even worse for the Heat, because it was 108-99 at one point.

    weird game because the first half was beautiful smooth basketball. by the end it was feet in the cement

      I usually shit on Lakers fans for being overly harsh on their bench players.

      We were down 6 rotation players in that 4th quarter

      I like how the offseason was all about getting depth yet somehow we are down so many players haha.

            Honestly it’s sad. Like genuinely.

            For how well he plays, LeBron completely deserves to have a core and bench around him that wants to win as badly as he does. I was hoping LeBron could win his 5th chip this year (if my precious pookie bear Greek Freak isn’t in the finals of course) but as of right not it’s not looking too hopeful.

            Hopefully, it’s just a chemistry issue and the team meshes together well later in the season, but still.

            [–]Lakersbarath_s 20 points21 points  (0 children)

            and bench around him that wants to win as badly as he does.

            5 rotation players on the injury list wanting to win badly doesn't really help as much as you might think

            [–][deleted] 54 points55 points  (10 children)

            it feels like ever since the heat years he hasn’t been able to truly rely on his teammates to knock down open shots, but he trusts them anyway because he makes the smart basketball decisions and expects them to make open shots.

            [–]Icy_Rich_6076 71 points72 points  (2 children)

            Nah the Cavs had plenty of reliable shooters. They all seemed to crumble against Warriors in finals but lit up every other team. Frye, JR, Korver, Love etc were all reliable once they settled in. But not really any elite 3 and D guys for him since Miami besides KCP and JR somewhat

                    And JRich with the 3 too. Too bad Bam shuffled his feet. When he doesn’t hesitate, good things happen

                        Real question is why was the play drawn up for Cam to be the one in the obvious help off position? They were obviously going to pack the paint on a Lebron drive and the farthest help off is the back side corner. Ham should have put Reaves there off of the inbounds play. But, he has the offensive IQ of a coconut.

                        Bron drew the entire team into the paint for that wide open look.

                        Dude will prob get cooked for that. Rough.

                        The Lakers could have picked a fan from the stands and he has a better chance of making a three than Reddish. I would rather have Hayes taking the three over him. Ham has a fucking hard on for reddish and it makes no damn sense The dude is ass on a stick

                        [–]WarriorsCurrymvp2 53 points54 points  (3 children)

                        Heat literally didn't score on their final 10 possessions and somehow they still won because Reddish couldn't make a semi-open jumper at all

                              I dunno about you. I thought us dribbling down the shot clock for 20 seconds and then heaving a contested 3 was pretty gonna work eventually.

                                          He’s an NBA player in name only.

                                          If he wasn’t the #1 recruit out of high school he would have never made the league. He’s the reason Zion didn’t win March Madness.

                                              Ora reddish 3 cause he's the most open

                                                  Score was 108-107 with 2:39 left and that was the final score of the game lmao

                                                  Thought Miami was gonna pull away once Bron decided to shoot a 3 after going on a 8-0 run instead of going to the hoop.

                                                  Or at least have a tight game we pull out. The fuck is up with getting double digit leads that disappear in 90 seconds?

                                                      Felt like it was all setting up for a LeBron buzzer beater. Dude was utterly insane tonight. I catch glimpses from primetime games but it's ridiculous what he's still capable of even as the oldest dude in the NBA. He had 4 ridiculous jams, still a freight train barrelling to the rim, chasedown block on Herro, and like clockwork he goes to sit in the 3rd Q and our 5pt lead ballooned to 11pts in a minute.

                                                      Thank goodness he passed lmao

                                                      He passed because Jimmy played him perfectly and the lane was crowded. Reddish was wide open for a reason.

I am just baffled at watching him get chasedown blocks still when everyone else who played this long had turned into basically just a spot up shooter or bench warmer

Prince for a 3, whose defender (Lowry) was at least 12 feet away. I don't blame Cam for taking the shot, I blame Ham for drawing the fucking play
