people actually think Miami have a chance

 

[Chris]

Yeah it's over lmao

 

[Dmac]

I think they had to keep it tied to have any chance so like 1-0... 1-1... 2-1... 2-2.

Now it's 2-0 it's over.

The will of Butler to not let The Heat die without a fight is beautiful to watch. Game 6 on Sunday!

They did it for Kobe and I couldn't be more proud of them. AD deserves MVP this year. Way to go boys.

Congrats to the Lakers and their bandwagon fans who left this team for dead before Lebron got there. I'm a ride or die fan with my teams and I don't see that passion from that fanbase when times get rough. I mean were people rah rah during the last Seasons with Kobe nope. Lebron gets there were rocking the gear again and acting like we were down with them. This is coming from a Lebron and Kobe fan, but it is frustrating to see when my team is struggling to win a Championship since 1983 and this team was gifted one because of the Heat's injuries that made it a JV vs Varsity Game at times in this Series. If it wasn't for Butler on that Heat team no way they make the Finals and that is the story to me rather than Lebron getting another Ring. He somehow needs and wants that respect, but he already has it in my eyes so he needs to stop worrying about the the haters. Either way congrats to them and they are the measuring stick for everyone else to chase now going in the Offseason.

Just milk the man's death more, why don't they.

So the Lakers are looking to start their defense by making a fairly big trade by the looks of it.

Rumours are that they are going to ship Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green and JaVale McGee to the Spurs for LaMarcus Aldridge.

Who wins that trade, if it happens?

Doesn't matter bc Luka Magic is running wild this year

Mavs and Luka up against the Raptors when we sign Giannis.

Jesus Christ I hope that Trade doesn't go down as if they need more top flight weapons. Doc Rivers being the Head Coach of my Sixers I really hope he's the guy to put Embiid and Simmons in gear. The Sixers need to make a decision on Horford and Harris. Both guys got huge deals and they really haven't improved the team. We need to break this up and make some deals and see where it takes us. Doc being with us should be a major plus in FA.

Is it perhaps time to choose one of them out of Simmons and Embiid and build a team around that one?

We all know the knicks gonna be the very best team..... At getting the first pick next year

I think they are going to give it another Year and see what happens because I rather have both, but I can deal with Simmons go elsewhere for someone who fits more what Embiid and Doc's Offense wants to do.

The Knicks are always great... At disappointing their fans.

I'd say that's fair. With a new coach coming in he may be able to make them click but I'd say this should be their last chance at it before something has to give.

I don't even know if it would definitely be Simmons being the one to go.
