The worry for the Lakers is game is less then 48 hours from game 5. You can see the difference in LeBron with 3 days vs 2 days rest last game. AD being hobbled also makes a game 7 more likely. But this is why you go up 3 to 1: u give yourself more shots and Miami is making a lot of junk shots. The only time Miami had looked the better team is when Vogel goes small ball with Morris at the C vs Bam. That has put the Lakers in holes both the last two games. Hes got to use Dwight out there and the Lakers should be good despite the other stuff
Morris worked against Houston as a small ball 5 because he was guarding a smurf that always stood in the same spot at the three point line. Now, Vogel has him guarding Bam or Butler?!?! I love Vogel but c'mon man, that's ridunkulous.
i have no problem with lebron making that pass. green was wide open and is supposed to be a "3 pt specialist" green just happens to be pure garbage. it should've been KCP or kuzma taking that shot
Right now all depends on Ludabrow and how healthy he is. When he got hurt in the 2nd quarter, the energy was sucked out of the team. Lebron tried to will the team through it but it wasn't enough. The weaker minded players couldn't fight through it (Kuz, DG, Morris). If Ludabrow is somewhat healthy on sunday, we close it out. Otherwise it won't be good.
Update on Dragic. And Lakers WMCing about officiating against Heat, react to LeBron decision https://www.yahoo.com/news/dragic-lakers-fume-officiating-against-210234950.html
Not just just Morris but the whole bench aside from maybe KCP was bad while the Heat bench as a whole was exceptional. A few more shots made on our end and we’re celebrating. I’m banking on the hope that our bench can’t be much worse than last game and Duncan won’t be as nuclear as he was (aka stop ball watching and stick to him like white on rice). I’m not counting on Lebron having another 40 point monster game, maybe a 30 pointer or something might be sufficient but that’s contingent on Davis being able to give at least 60–70 percent of what he can be offensively or more important defensively. That scenario, I like our chances of ending this tomorrow.
Tighten up our 3 point Defense and turnovers we'll be ok. Robinson won that game for the heat finding his rythm. You can live with Butler doing what he's doing but can't let anyone else contribute like that. Turnovers especially early keep getting us in a hole too. I don't like our half court offense at all. There's times where we end up late in the shot clock and it seems like no one had a clue what they were supposed to do other than camp at the 3 and wait for LeBron. Kuzma has been a good cutter and everyone else needs to start moving. Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk
