I really thought the Lakers would close it out last night but as we have seen in the series the Heat don't give up, more so Butler who has kept the Heat alive in the series. This guy really does deserve a ring but I can't see it happening this season even though I have a feeling that this NBA finals could be going to a game 7.

Unexpected 3-2.
Very much, but it happened, and now we are not expecting a game 7, but who knows.
I haven't let go of that possibility yet to be honest 😂 but I think that will be since LeBron has not enough sleep to study the Miami Heat plays and players. Really, who knows but if they put up again some good fight I'd expect a Game 7.
I'm a fan of both teams so I'm okay with that.

Lebron says he will not rest, not sleep in one of his interviews because he could rest after the NBA Finals, but it seems not effective. lol. Seriously they need to stop Jimmy, if Jimmy still make the performance in game 5, then it would likely go game 7, but that game 5 was a close game, any team could win in that game anyway.

I know I (and most) were wrong about Game 5. But I’m going to take LA with five-points - I expect a big reaction from Lebron, AD and co!!

I watched the highlights of the game, they played too late for me  Embarrassed.
Was able to catch the last 5-6 minutes of the game, it was intensed.

I saw the Lakers in the final quarter and IMHO they threw away the game, that could be a win. The missed for example the final possesion  Roll Eyes.

Unexpected 3-2.
Agree, they squander a lot of chance opportunities, costly turnovers, Morris throwing the ball and then Green unable to hit that important 3's in his career. If ever Miami wins this, it will really devastated LA franchise as they suit up the Mamba jersey but failed to deliver. But still they're the favorite but Miami is making it harder for them to win this season.

Heat had executed better than Lakers that's why they win that game, if Lakers have won that game, I would say Heat could have win if they secure the rebound which Morris had an offensive but just threw away to Davis which was unaware.

I think Lakers will end the series in 5, but I am not betting on the Lakers -7 or -7.5 only as I have other plans, I am trying to get an odds for Lakers to win 26+ as I believe it's either Heat will cover again or Lakers will dominate and route the Heat in this game.

I am getting x14 winning of my bet if I'll win.

https://www.bitsler.com/en/sports/basketball/usa/nba/23844573-los-angeles-lakers-vs-miami-heat

Well, we were both wrong about that... LOL well played the Heat!

Yeah, we were wrong, Heat came out the better team in this game and that 26+ points win by Lakers did not happen, we will try again next game, if Lakers failed to make it in 5, they'll definitely make it in 6, still rooting for the same team and same bet.

I bet on Heat this game and I think that worked out though I am also rooting for LA Lakers to win. Maybe because it is the team that's popular but because I have no choice since Miami Heat defeated Milwaukee Bucks and I just wanted for Lakers to beat Miami.

Nice! I don’t think anyone thought that Miami would win after Game 4. What odds did you get on your bet?

You gotta love the Heat game from last night as they simply destroyed Lakers in both half of the game. If this wasn't enough , I saw Lebron so mad at referees for not giving him faults and free trows lmao so even if I'm a Lakers fan, I want Heat to win just because of the gestures of Lebron from last night game.

That is quite true but you just gotta imagine the frustration building up even from their first loss. We know that LeBron as a team captain wants the best for the team but somehow some players just kinda messes up plays made by Vogel. I wanna see more games but those bad plays need to stop specially this Game 5. The pressure really got into some players like Green and Morris. Robinson on the other hand was handing out them clutch shots. Kudos to Butler!!!

Butler is really good! Playing 47 minutes is really exhausting but I hope he recovers well next game so they can push for a game 7. I may see this finals a sure win for the lakers at first but now I think I'm starting to see it that everything can happen. I now see this finals exciting and entertaining as heat proves that they have the chance of taking this championship from the lakers. Maybe this is what finals looks like, athletes having the heart of winning cause they already have the chance.

I don't see that someone's at fault for the lakers, heat is just the better team last game. And if you're a lakers fan, athletes have their bad nights too, you don't have to show it to their face cause they know it better than you. They are preparing to come back stronger.
This is what im saying earlier that everything could really happen even on a 3-1 deficit and as long as the series isnt over then it cant really be consider to be done.

Take a look on this recent game 5 even though Lakers is a strong team and specially in defense, you can see that Heat do adjust from that and instead they do go outside of paint or even
keeps on running to make up some transition.

Buttler is indeed a monster plus his team mates are making double digit points as well where you can really say that theres a good rotation and player do play their role pretty well.

I can't believe Heat pulled of another upset, Lebron played amazingly but there were few players that caused the game to go to heats side and none of them were from Heat players.

Heat players could play great, Duncan Robinson (I still think he should have played for spurs lol) and Butler played amazingly and that is why I believe they do deserve kudos but Morris, Kuzma and Danny green all played badly, hell at the last possession not only Danny Green missed a wide open three which could happen to anyone but also Morris gave the ball away in the most silliest method there could be, this is a win and title game so I think they can't make these kind of mistakes, on a regular season you could make these kind of mistakes but in championship game you have to play in a way that is perfect and without any mistakes.

I thought Lakers is gonna win but seems the Heat is giving their best to catch up, who do you think it's fault Danny Green or Morris I think I bet on a wrong team today. I hope I'll get it on the next game.

Nice.
I was also shouting and clapping. My kids are just looking at me with questions in their eyes.
"Who is he shouting at?"
"Did Daddy just hit his head?"

Grin this made me crack up.

With AD and Dragic both out, we have a fair, level match for both teams. IIRC, Dragic wasn't exactly a top scorer for Heat, but he sure is an efficient point guard.

It's going to be Lebron James against Jimmy Butler for the last two games, and both of them are hyped up for this.

Can't even tell whom to compare that great back and forth showcase of skills between Butler and James.
They are both exhausted but they are trying to score for the team.
It's like willpower which makes them move at that last minute.
Good thing there was still a lot of timeouts that made them rest a bit.  Grin

I want to see Herro spark in Game 6. Robinson did his part and I bet they are going to defend him even better next time.
Time for the Herro to shine.

OMG! It was an amazing battle! Butler, Robinson had a great performance and, of course, the ridiculous turnover of M.Morris in the last seconds of the game... Undecided 
I think Lebron and AD will need more proper help from the rest of the teammates in the next game.
It was indeed a great game. Heat was able to win another match against Lakers.

That turnover from Morris is a hot topic here in our country as I see many posts about it on Facebook. Well, it's somehow a big deal for the team but he's just a person and he makes mistakes. He did good contributions though in their previous games. But you know, people would rather talk about your mistakes rather than the good things you did. *Sigh*

Anyway, Game 6 is exciting. Hope Miami keep their performance up and lead them to Game 7. Good luck to both teams, fans, and bettors.

We never know, but if AD would indeed not available in game 6 then I believe Miami will have an edge and Butler would not be having a problem attacking inside, and Bam as well.  But according to this article, Davis would play, so Lakers are still intact.

https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-anthony-davis-reveals-update-on-his-game-6-status-for-lakers/

Quote
The Los Angeles Lakers were given a proper scare in Game 5 on Friday against the Miami Heat, with Anthony Davis appearing to have sustained a significant ankle injury that kept him on the floor for a a couple of minutes.

As it turns out, however, it was nothing but a minor tweak, and according to Davis himself, he should be good to go for Game 6:

Will AD be able to play at his fullest though? Now that Bam is also on the court, someone would have to guard him well too.

I believe he can still play, he played with pain in game 5 and manage to score 28 points and 12 rebounds, that doesn't seem look like he has a problem with his heel, and that update was coming from Davis so he is still good to go, nothing to worry.

Good, it's good news for the Lakers if AD can play because they really need him in the floor, it not they Butler will have his way going inside with no one to challenge. I just rewatch the highlights, it seems that the supporting cast of Lakers underperformed when it was needed. Damn, Danny Green's three point was clearly short, it was a well design play, and then Morris? WTF?

And the post interview, Butler was obviously very very tired, we don't know how long can he manage and play and bring Miami to another championship
