2020 NBA Bubble Ball Finals: Lakers vs Heat - Who You Got?

jimmy v lebron 1 on 1 for the chip

man this is a war, i'm loving it

he also got put in the best possible situation. on another NBA team he’s prob a doug mcdermott type but the heat took what they started doing with i.e. wayne ellington like building very difficult hand off shots into the offense but really expanding it

bam has been bizarrely out of position on defense for all of these lebron drives

love this pic

if lebron wins this i am at peace

lol

why is morris out there?

lol disastrous final poss

how many times has mark jackson mentioned that if he were coaching iggy would be in the game right now. it's more than two!

the miami heat!!

Great win

game 6 baby!

siick

excellent shot by danny green and pass by markief morris on the final play... not

this is the best part because we've reached the no adjustments zone. the lakers get smoked literally any time AD is off the floor. duncan robinson gets a rest and all of a sudden the heat can't score.

i... did not think the heat could take a 40-13-7 level punch from lebron and win

there’s a reason we’re prob not going to see him step on the floor for the rest of the game

haha sorry jordan

love seeing morris’s punk ass throw the ball out of bounds at the end there

morris could have just gone for little face up iso when he caught that rebound, its his game

there’s a reason we’re prob not going to see him step on the floor for the rest of the game

yeah he’s one assist short of three straight finals triple doubles, completely nuts

also bron was wide open on the opposite wing lmao

lol how was every laker open

well, three out of five were.

a small pond between lebron and any other player but that morris court vision gene is alive and well

even davis had his man sealed

lakers were down the whole game lol

insane lebron has lost two finals games directly bcuz of completely boneheaded plays by jr smith and markieff morris

its a good plot detail i support it

bron's weird teammate curse outside of the heatles years is a very amusing component to his career and myth

next question is how hurt brow is... if he’s only at 50% or something the rosters start to look far more even, maybe even tilted in miami’s favor

Markieff Morris: 0 points in 23 minutes, three turnovers, four fouls, also made the biggest mistake of the game

he *was* playing unreasonably well, but...

the thing about the lakers is you can play morris who was -2 or you can play kuzma who was -17.....kuz had to have been playing some of those minutes with no lebron or AD in the 1st half when AD hurt his foot but yeah, one of those guys needs to play and the results have not been strong.

honestly morris has been about as bad guarding jimmy as kuzma has, i would roll w/ kuzma's offense, which has seemed pretty good to me this series

hard to imagine a better advertisement for the concept of culture and fit in team sports than jimmy and the heat. he hasn't changed a bit, he just found ppl who can tolerate him

Duncan Robinson said Jimmy Butler has a meeting with him in his room after game 2. “He’s hard on me but that’s because he expects a lot” pic.twitter.com/eHnlfWNYHD

Watching both Morris bros on LA title contenders want nothing to do with the ball in crucial moments has been fun to see. Whole career built on being tough hard nose players but are everything but.

The two heat wins thus far have made up for a lot and I’m happy with the finals now. Jimmy is a hero.

next question is how hurt brow is... if he’s only at 50% or something the rosters start to look far more even, maybe even tilted in miami’s favor

looked like he could barely run in the last stretch of the game

yeah. i wonder how much they'll hedge their bets if the heat get out 10 or 12 points early in the 4th if AD is a little gimpy.

it’s not a curse! he’s handpicked all his teams since like 2012 at least

helps to be winning. we’ll see how well he’s tolerated next year when (presumably) the heat aren’t in the finals

yeah they will probably turn on him

the ultimate curse is the one we cast on ourselves, something to think about.....

kendrick nunn’s not shy, is he?

this game was bananas.

I LOVE BASKETBALL

is there a chance dragic comes back or nah
yea this past game was a good watch

dragic's chances for playing are slim or none
