    ..... a little too much “You people” from you recently. We know you’re above these things but it is fun for us slaps to absolutely revel in the Clippers’ misery and implosion.

    I'm going to refrain from putting this series in the refrigerator unless we pummel them again on Friday, but we are seriously a matchup nightmare for this Heat team. Especially with injuries to multiple key players. There was a point last night when we were literally running them off the court with no resistance. When I think about what Miami needs to do to bounce back, I come up with them heavily relying on guys like Herro, Robinson, and Nunn (who are, no offense, babies) to play insanely well. For 4 games. Are they going to bring in Meyers Leonard to combat our size? They had Kelly Olynyk out there in garbage time launching 25 footers.

    If there is one thing that concerns me it's that we shot uncharacteristically well from three (40%) and from the line (93%) last night. Those numbers will drop for sure.

    I wish they were at full strength and I hope Bam's injury isn't that bad, but at this point, I don't care how it happens. We need this one for Kobe.

    Wow, looks like the resistible force hit the immoveable object and got whiplash when he hit Supertight Dwight.

    Crowder is a character: he played like s*** for the Cavs after the Irving trade and the rumors were he was still pissed at JR Smith for his retaliation after the Olynk armbar.
    It's not like the C Bags weren't cowards or anything (they freakin took Olynk out of the game after that)

    dragic/bam being out doesn't change a damn thing

    nunn showed he can more than make up for dragic being out. and if herro/robinson are on from 3 pt range, not having bam won't matter

    Nah. Without those guys they're clearly overmatched by this Lakers team on a mission. IMO.

    Nunn only had a good showing because the Lakers just wanted to burn the time and plus, they never expected Nunn to get any minutes. They'll be better prepared for Nunn next game.

    If Dragic and Adebayo are non-factors going forward, and the Heat can't make up for their loss, the Finals are going to end up being a competition between LeBron and AD to see who gets the Finals MVP.

    This is very true. The Heat over estimated their toughness against the Lakers’ lowkey physicality.

    They tried to play the Lakers game - have been bullying opponents all season long - and cant even last 3 quarters of bully ball.

    Of course I love this story but honestly it only applies to Bam hurting himself trying rough up Dwight. Still laughing. But Butler rolled his ankle with no contact from a Laker and Dragic same thing (basically). Plantar type of injury.

    Lakers don't take a game off... this is a sweep. Whether the Heat are healthy, or not.

    They are overmatched.

    East is a joke this year.

    P.S. Shaq and Kobe threepeat would destroy this Lakers squad.

    What’s the point of the backhanded compliment?

    hmmm, thought it was Bam, but you might be right, will have to go back and look at it.
