So close I can taste it. 90 seconds from bering back to where the Lakers should be.

[Cscottrun]

Holy LeBron.

Today is the best day. LAKERS!

[justinandimcool]

congrats Lakers




officially on the fuck 2020 train tbh

[Balor3012]

Malone didn't know what to do with Howard in the mix

[Lee3691]

4 games to go. Miami or Boston are going to be difficult though. Both teams have much better rosters 3-12.

[justinandimcool]

Boston runs 6 deep so not really tbh. Davis would dunk Theis into the basket all series. they have absolutely nothing, zero to throw at James. Walker would be unplayable like he is right now.

Miami would give a fight

[Balor3012]

Imagining Kemba getting switched onto Davis or LeBron is uh not good

[Speilmen230]

Thought Malone should have given MPJ more of a green light and replaced Millsap for him early in the second half. He was taking it to Kuz and the Lakers early. He didn't play for basically all of the third and the first few of the fourth.

Boston's a better match up but like everyone else I am rooting for the Heat

[Speilmen230]

Finals appearance number ten.

[justinandimcool]

not convinced they are a better matchup...younger, not as smart, small, not deep

when it comes to getting switched i’m taking Jamal Murray with his limp > Walker at his best lmao

Right - Lakers match up better against the Celtics than the Heat.

Like my favorite athlete, I'm a fan of mobility. Otherwise I'd be rooting for the non-existent Cincinnati franchise or the abysmal Dan Gilbert Cavs organization.

Better hope that Giannis doesn't catch the mobility bug and see what's beyond Wisconsin.

[jmkratt]

Admittedly more of a casual NBA fan at this point. Fun watching the Nuggets in the bubble.

Didn’t realize AD flopped so much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In basketball I've always been a fan of a player over a team. Probably because I was a kid during the Jordan era.

I was a fan of MJ not my local Hawks or the Bulls. When he retired I moved to Shaq. After that it has been Lebron. Luka is next on the list.

[Noles20]

Nothing like a guy making it seem like he is really hurt. Not putting any weight on his foot/leg. Then 2 minutes later he is completely fine.

It's a lot of fun, I've been a Celtics fan for about 10 days per year the last couple years, makes it easy when they play pathetically down the stretch and fold like a dollar bill

[dontdrink36]

looks like we get Lebron vs his old team. Should be a good series. Lakers in 6

[scrock25]

So like, objectively speaking did anybody (analysts, jokers in here, etc...) have Miami coming out of the East?

Before the bubble or the playoffs? No, soon after the playoffs started? Probably

[neumdogg]

As per usual, the Celtics are a bunch of losers. I would have loved to see them in the finals, but they fucking choked. Titletown my ass.

[Whiteyxc514]

Joke of an effort from the Celtics. They pretty much folded down the stretch in every game they lost.

Please name another town since 2000 that has won more combined titles across the four major sports, hell I'm glad they are done in some ways because there will be less talk about them and more on the Patriots

I know, I'm joking. Honestly more of a callback to Ricky and Pathetic 10 years ago.

[justinandimcool]

Miami was by far the better team. more balanced, smarter, and honestly more confident. Boston is missing that swagger outside of Smart. really big missed opportunity for them. Boston desperately needs a sniper like Robinson to open up the floor for them even a little bit. the fact that you can even play zone against them is a failure of the front office

but wow MIAMI! what a team. no superstar, amazing. a couple of future ones for sure though.
