New NBA season

Double standards in the Sky pundits’ comments are mental. LeBron literally has more points, rebounds and assists than anyone else on the court, while taking on the defensive challenge of Butler...

 

Agreed. The Lakers are going under every screen, whereas in game three they were managing to shake LeBron off him. He needs to attack the basket (which may get a lot easier now if AD is injured).

 

Those 3 bams do my nut in, wish it was just the American coverage we got.

 

Honestly man, if I hear “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a game/series...” one more time... Every time you see the presenter, he just looks like he’s thinking “how the * have I managed to get this job”

 

They’ve literally just gone around the office and asked if anyone likes basketball.

 

I thought it was Raheem Sterling at first.

Every single timeout “I’m loving what I’m seeing from both teams here”

 

That’s the dagger

 

That’s game and series for me. Don’t see them letting game 5 go.

They were there for the taking all night too.

 

Score those easy buckets at the beginning and we win that.

 

AD in the clutch.

Thought the Heat missed Dragic big time there.

 

LeBron stuttering and muttering.

 

If only Jimmy could shoot 3’s

 

Would never count this Heat team out, but Lakers are obviously massive favourites. I’d agree that I’d definitely favour the Lakers to close it out in 5 now. The experience of LeBron and Rondo shone brightly tonight, with AD contributing with a couple of huge plays towards the end too.

 

LeBron single handedly keeping the Lakers close here, has 21 of the Lakers’ 47 points. The rest of the offence need to get going.

Butler been great again for Miami. Nunn really stepping up too.

 

Some game. A lot of sore bodies out there. KCP flop and that Bam out of bounds call may have killed us.

But whatever happens. It’s a deserved winner.

 

Great win for Miami. LeBron got absolutely no help from his teammates in the fourth at all. Anyone that thinks AD is the leader of that team is absolutely off their head.

What the * was Morris doing at the end He had the easiest of handoffs to Green for an open three (or a swing to LeBron) for the win and decided to throw a pass to no one.

 

He was hobbling all over the court tbf. That loss wasn’t AD’s fault.

 

AD was far too passive tonight; especially in the big moments. Yes, he appeared to be injured down the stretch but if that’s the case then he should have been sitting because he was a liability defensively and a non-event (apart from one put back that fell straight into his lap) for the last few minutes of that game. A healthy big would at least have given the Lakers a fighting chance of getting stops.

Even the pass Morris throws in at the end, a fit big should be set in a position to at least make a play, but AD was nowhere near it.

I’m in no way saying the loss his solely on him, but he has to do better. He’s a star, no doubt, but he was massively in LeBron’s shadow all night and tbh it looked at times like he was perfectly happy hiding there.

 

Miami withstood LeBron shooting 6-9 from deep and Bam and Crowder playing well below par, if AD is shaken up then this series gets interesting.

Jimmy Butler is a superstar.
