Young ones with confidence already. .

I hope that those young player's confidence will still be the same once they now played in a pressured environment.

They didn't feel yet the pressure of playing against the big crowd as they are like playing in a practice.

These kids have a future. I just hope they will be utilized more.

3-1 is still technically not something you should be relax about, if I was lakers I would still make sure I bring my A game to the 5th game because we have seen Nuggets come back from 3-1 just this year and Lebron should know better about 3-1 comebacks as he has done for it to 73 win warriors with not so great teammates, so no team is safe from 3-1 lead. However lets be also realistic, Lakers are basically destroying Miami right now and Dragic is still out, Bam may have returned but Lakers have AD there, what can Bam do?

There is a good quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson " When you strike a king, you better not miss" and this is perfect for this series, Lebron is King and dude knows how to win games no matter what, doesn't care what the situation is, and when he is the favorites? It is just piece of cake for him.

Why people gets too fired up with that Heat win? even Jimmy Butler said ‘you’re in trouble’ thing. Are they really that confident on make a comeback?

Well, we cant judge too early but this game 4 will be might a deciding game if they do really have the chance or  that game 3 was just really some sort of luck?

Lakers are for sure making adjustments on what they had badly performed in game 3.They wont be the same on this upcoming game 4 and Heat should really be prepared for that one.
It's because they're the underdog and people want to see a close series. It would be interesting to see the heat win again to tie the series but it'll take another monstrous performance from Butler and on the other side a mediocre performance from AD which is very unlikely to happen again. If the Heat didn't have their key players injured maybe they have a chance to push the series even further but I agree that game 3 was more on luck unless they some sort of answer to AD again and hold him down to 10-15 points.

I agree, Jimmy can score 50 points, but if AD and Lebron combine for the same then it even it out. Let's see if Bam can play to help Jimmy, otherwise it will be a difficult game for Miami as AD will try to readjust and get back in the game with his points and overall contributions.

Also, I think the rest of the role players of Lakers will try to show their skills here not just in offense, but on defense as well to hold the Miami players, unlike in the last game where in they got points very easy. So let's see who will win, the pressure is still on Miami to win and tie the series.

And now LA had able to get that Game 4 and as expected there were indeed adjustment made out by Lakers.I have seen that Bam Adebayo had played and did really play well but it isnt really enough yet

LA had good rotations on that recent game plus KCP was on fire giving out those crucial clutches specially on 4th quarter which those shots are indeed important to make out some lead on last minutes of the game.

For sure Lakers fans do held up their breaths about those turnover of Heat into those times but we have seen that they had executed it well to maintain the lead.Lakers will close this series on game 5 and another
4-1 would happen.  Cheesy

It is very odd that people do not find any interest in this final series.
The broadcasting ratings are very low... What can be the reason for that?

People in general have stopped watching sports.  The thing for me is that having it in an arena with fans is half the draw.  Without the fans it seems more like a scrimmage or practice than it does anything else.  And with all the craziness going on people have taking less of an interest in sports in general.

I smell a 4-1 series, don't get me wrong, it's just that Heat failed to even the series so Lakers will close this at 5 games.
They've done that in the past series so they'll do it again, Heat has no answer on the defense of the Lakers and Butler can't make 40 points every night.

That's my opinion two, they could have win the game earlier but Jimmy Butler rush to shoot the three to get the lead but he miserably missed it. If he could just get the ball in, they could have tie the series but that just the way it is, He missed and gives the Lakers to even score a three and gives them a 4 point game which is hard to reach. Now the Lakers are only 1 game away to win the Championships, I wonder how happy would Lebron be since He will win Championships from 3 different teams in his entire career.

That will be an amazing feat honestly.  To win 1 championship is a feat but 3 different teams, and being the key guy in all 3 of those is crazy.  I know bringing a championship to clevland was personally big for him but he will get heralded more for being another Laker champion.

I'm also calling it quits. The pressure is too much for Jimmy Butler right now and though he can get a brust of energy to score 40 points in one game, it drains his stamina and he can't keep this up for several games, his average is 25 points, so no way he can keep up with Lebron James and AD's combined 50ish points alone.

Dragic can't play any games as long as he still has his foot injury. He didn't play in Game 4.

Bam is back but he scored less points than AD, so I think Heat will lose these Finals.

Once Lebron guard the best player in a team, it will be able to limit its production, unless such player is a good 3 pointer like Curry and Thompson. I think if the current Lakers are playing the GSW with a healthy Curry and Thompson, they certainly have a great chance as they can both generate points, unlike with Herro and Robinson where they lose their confidence shooting the 3's, if I'm not mistaken, their production have dropped in this series.

If we assume the Heat will lose these Finals then for me it's still an achievement with the young team.
What they can do next season is scary though.

Yeah, this is the beginning, I just do hope that they will improved a lot next season. And won't be the next Milwaukee Bucks wherein there are a lot of expectations and they really did do go in the regular season. But they fell victim to the Heat.

Polishing those guys like Herro, Robinson, Nunn, and Bam.
That will make an All-Star team already.
Young ones with confidence already.
But for now, the mentality should not be giving up. They will have 2 days rest to make good plays and make the zone defense stronger.
Switching should also be fast whenever Robinson is being targeted.
Maybe watching Steph Curry clips will be helpful.

Herro and Robinson should learn from Steph Curry and Klay Robinson, specially on their title run. Right now they are doing good, but they can improved a lot as this two is really a good shooter. Nunn is also showing good form and not afraid to take shots and Bam, we all know how he is doing in the series, it seems he is comparable to Pascal Siakam of Toronto.

But nothing to be disappointed though, Miami pull one the best upsets already with Miami and beat the rival Boston. So it ever they lose in the next coming games, they should be proud of it and also coach Spo did a good job and we do hope he can replicate the success formula next year as they are going to be one of the favourites in the East.

Yes, when Davis hit that 3, you can see Bron's expression, he knows that they have won the game, and then he block Butler for insurance and not him score. It's not an easy and comfortable win, as Miami really fought very hard and even had the lead at some point. It's gonna be 4-1 again for the Lakers next game.

Great game but I hope they could stretch the series one more game.

LA Lakers is great and I don't think it would end that easy at game 5 since it is either they would let Miami Heat win or Miami force to win another one. Miami did great within the bubble and for sure they will be better in the next season. I don't have proof of what I am saying but I guess Bronny will be asking Miami for the series to get longer  Grin

it was a third win, and will probably finish in five matches

three pointer was good one, but block in the next Heat attack was great one as well, Davis was really good last night and i do not see Heat on the level to win another match, here is a recap of Davis role last night

When Davis hit the dagger 3 pointer in the last minute of the 4th Quarter, I turned off the television and went to my bed Cheesy.

I'm thinking now that this may happen again Cheesy CTTO

Not me the yankees game is on and much more interested in the baseball playoffs than the bubble finals.  Lakers to me play a boring brand of basketball.  Still hoping the heat win because that will make the lakers change the way they play possibly opening up the game a little more.
Lakers won.

I agree with that it's kind of boring if the Lakers keeps on winning but it seems that they'll getting the ring with the next game.

It's more about enjoyment this time and many wants to see Heat win the next games.
