LBJ didn't deserve to lose the way he carried the Lakers. AD is hobbled and it is painful to watch the surrounding cast most of the time.

The Men of the Round Table could have been better and they will be.

WTF are you even talking about. Don't be getting a big head just yet, remember, I have LBJ and you don't and you saw it tonight. The Men of the Round Table had a bad game, it happens. Let's run it back on Sunday and see what happens.
It will be a Coronation and an Assimilation.
Jimmy bent Bred over again.
Jimmy vs. Brick at the end. Jimmy was clutch down the stretch and didn't miss a free throw. Brick had his Jordan moment and kicked it out instead.

The last time you had him bending me over, the Heat lost.
Now he bent me over again and they won?
Which is it, does he bend me over when they win or when they lose?
When you make up your mind, please advise.
Assume the position Sunday at 7:30 PM.

LOL. There's many a slip between a cup and a lip. Let's see if the Men of the Round Table play as bad as they did tonight and we were still 50/50 to win that late.
Pull up jumper would have been better than kicking it out to the top of the key. Brick had a Jordan moment and passed.

Oh yeah. Only if LBJ took on 3 fucking guys and passed up passing it off to Green for a wide open 3, where the close-out guy came from under the fucking rim, they would have won.
There were 8 Heat feet in the paint, he made the perfect play with an imperfect pass and Green was still wide open. He missed. It happens. It shouldn't have even came down to that but it did. These things happen.
You cannot in good conscience criticise LBJ tonight; Butler was phenomenal and he was the 2nd best player on the Court; that's how good LBJ was.

Look at this:
Dude had to close 23-feet in seconds and didn't even get close to a contest. Danny's about to release and the dude hasn't even left his feet or have a hand up. LBJ was brilliant, stop Resulting.
What are the odds of hitting a 3 from the top of the key?

My bad. he was surrounded by 4 guys and the whole team was level w/ him, all 5 were on his plane.

You're complaining about a wide open shot and I mean wide open? JFC, that defense was out of position for that shot. That defense was, "Anybody but LBJ."
And Brick was about to draw a foul. Instead he wanted a guy to hit a 3 from the top of the key. It was under 50% to hit that shot.
Adebayo was in the restricted zone.

He had 4 guys around him. That means someone is wide open. Also, my bad, there were only 6 Heat feet in the paint but the other 2 feet were close.
AD for an alley-oop.
Corner threes are much easier than a 3 from the top of the key. Drawing a foul down 1 was the best choice.
Go by percentages. Kicking it out to the top of the key is much less than a 50% success rate.

He made the best play and it didn't work out. The process was perfect, the result not so much. Let's run it back and beat us again and if you do that, let's run it back again and you beat us again. I don't think you can do it.
It wasn't the best play going by percentages. Driving to draw a foul was the best choice.

Raiders, I'm telling you he made the best play. If I felt he fucked up, I would say as much. The Corner 3's were covered. by the time the ball reached KC3, the close out guy would have been right there, he got them the best shot available based upon the defensive set up, in real time; it was a great play.

The middle of the game, kick it out for the 3. With 10 seconds down 1, shoot and draw the foul.
He didn't make the best play with 10 seconds in the game. It's all math. Do that all game and yes, kicking it out is the best play. You don't understand the math.

Doesn't only Jimmy Buckets get those calls that late in those big of games?

The math does not compute when the close out guy was 6-ft from KC3 and 20-ft from Danny.
Listen to the science.
This is simple math. I don't care if you get 10 points (instead of 3) from the top of the key. It's less than 50% and there are only 10 seconds left.

Here's LBJ in the air. Are you telling me by the time the ball got to KC3, that defender wouldn't have been all over him?
Give Green 1,000 points if he hits that shot. It's not the best choice there.
Brick went away from the hoop to pass.

Raiders, Danny Green isn't even in that last screenshot and I did not crop it out. He was so wide open it was silly.
