    not this one.

    the nba stepped in to cancel the trade that would've brought CP3 from NO to the Lakers to team w Kobe and D Howard.
    Rox was party to the 3-way trade which would've gotten them Gasol​

    Nunn will probably start for the Heat, tonight.

    When's the last time a Finals team started 2 rookies? (Herro, Nunn)

    What are you like kindergarten level in reading comprehension?? I said the worst Finals that I've ever seen, not the worst Finals the entire world has ever seen.

    I'm well aware of that, was on clutchfans during it. But it should be blatantly obvious that AD teaming up with Lebron is a way worse of a travesty. Pales in comparison.

    i've read your myopic take, and was trying to expand your horizons to give you more perspective !



    how so ?

    this pales in comparison to
    • LBJ and Bosh joining DWade
    • KG and Ray Allen joining the truth

    You said what I wrote was far from the truth. It's the ****ing truth. No, you weren't trying to expand my horizons, you were thinking I wrote that it was the shittiest Finals ever and thought I needed correction. I clearly didn't. Again, shitty reading comprehension skills. It's simple, read the text and know what the words mean.

    Not only do you have terrible reading comprehension skills, you can't keep context past 10 hours. I'm comparing the potential CP3 trade to the AD trade. CP3 trade was blocked, AD trade was not, and AD trade immediately is leading to a championship on the same year.

    Not only that, now you're even looking at pure free agent signings which can't be blocked by the league and saying that was a travesty.

    I have no idea why you're over here arguing this or challenging that this is a shitty Finals. If you can't even stick to the context, or read what I'm writing, this is probably the last reply I'm writing.

    Watch the dumpster fire that is game 2, or do something productive with my time?

    Goran is a game-time decision. Even if he plays, he's gonna suck.

    this finals series is a joke...Miami isn’t actually a championship caliber team even if fully healthy...they’re here because Giannis embarrassed himself, and they faced another team in the ECF that’s not actually a contender in Boston

    the only team that could claim anything close to contender status in the East was Milwaukee...the rest were just a combination of pretty good-garbage

    Miami is doing the right thing strategy wise, make the Lakers shooters beat you.

    The Heat just play so damn hard.

    So deflating when you play great defense but one of the Lakers' role players drains a 3 in your face.

    Are the lakers "Spamming Threes"?
    If the Rockets put up those same numbers. . . everyone would be saying we "Spamming threes"

    Well, the Heat are playing a zone that’s pretty much forcing them to take those shots. They’re taking what the defense is giving whereas our philosophy is to just shoot them whether they’re open or not.

    They are barely trying to break down the zone.

    A few times they have, and they've got easy baskets.

    A lot of the Lakers 3s are terrible shot attempts.

    Didn't even look like the first half they were trying to actually win the game. Mailing it in on offense and definitely mailing it in on defense. I haven't seen such bad defense in a long long time.

    Edit: and still look at the score. This Finals is a farce
