    Saw it on a replay. Can't believe he attempted that difficult pass.




    Davis got that putback to put them up, and he did land on his ankle, but it really did look like he was trying to hide out there.

    Anthony Davis had the emptiest 28/12 I’ve ever seen in a finals game

    maybe. I wouldn't put it passed Silver. i like conspiracies, it's the spice of life.

    I dont want to take away anything from Jimmy and the Heat. He wanted that sh-t and took the game even when Lebron went up 4 or 5 late in the game.

    Yep. It's now lost in time, where the block gets more credit, but in a similar scenario in his biggest championship win, it was LeBron standing in the corner while Kyrie ISO'ed and hit the 3. Bro didn't want it.
    You can say he made the right play, sure, but he's got to demand a play drawn/called for him to get a 1 on 1 or any change for him to win it himself for his own legacy.

    Jimmy didn't guard him just one play or just this game

    Fouls, team defense, his teammates. Yeah, the monster triple double and repeated late game clutch shots had very little do do with it. :D

    CF was giving Morey the side eye when he offered up the 4 picks too. Morey was thirsty and Jimmy was the Capri Sun.

    Yall are making it seem like Miami won via refs? What conspiracy? From what i saw, it was fairly clean and LA was ready to pull away, but Miami took it. LA still wins, sure, but this was Miami earning another chance.

    Robinson going 7-`13 from three is the key

    I thought Lebron wanted to guard the best player in crunch time. He wasn't on Butler for last 5 minutes, but Butler was on him.

    In looking at the Morris gaffe again, it was the right play, but the wrong pass. Morris should have bounced it to AD instead of lobbing it. AD had position on Bam.

    IIRC i wanted him but i was bitter that Jimmy was saying he doesn't rep Houston, he reps Tomball. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way at the time as if he really just didn't like the Rockets, and he was on a path of a trouble maker jumping from team to team. Miami and Rileys way was a perfect fit for him. He would have just been trouble here with the Rockets and with Harden and Morey. Were too soft. Another Pippen situation except Jimmy in his prime.

    Honestly. . . .it seems like everyone is secretly going AGAINST LeBron
    I think folx would love nothing better than him to blow a 3-1 lead
    Esp every MJ Stan . . .which seems to include a large number of former players

    Nah. He didn't want to chase Duncan Robinson around...the actual best player. ;)

    Refs called it fair by being awful on both sides.

    That Lebron charge call was bad.

    that KCP flop was awful.

    Jimmy should have gotten a continuation and 1, but at that same time no way in hell would someone like Harden have got that call on that drive on AD.

    Don't blame Bron Bron...it's a lost part of the game. Jimmy went old school and said i got this. Gave me a chub.
