[Highlight] The Lakers with a brilliant play to start the 2nd half last night, catching the Heat unprepared. LeBron with the layup
Why are they guarding Ayton at the 3-point line?
He wasn’t at the three-point line. He was way down the court with Bam. You will notice they have two players on Luka and no one in the middle court to the three-point line to stop LeBron.
He wasn’t at the three-point line.
What are you talking about. He’s literally standing behind the three point line and bam was guarding him lol https://i.imgur.com/dhIFzyQ.jpeg
Oh, I got confused. I thought you meant the top of the 3-point line, like the logo area.
He has to stay near him even if he isn’t a three-point threat to prevent quick cuts like LeBron did and give him a free alley-oop.
That explanation makes no sense lol
You expect reaves to throw an alley oop from the inbound… On the opposite end of the court?
Didn’t you see Luka making a full-court pass to LeBron from the inbound? It’s about preventing that from happening, and what Bam needed to do was not allow Ayton to get into a deep position. He needed to stay near him so he could prevent Ayton from getting a deep position near the rim.
dn’t you see Luka making a full-court pass to LeBron from the inbound?
It was Austin Reaves not Luka. The pass made it to half court. There’s no way a a full court alleyoop to deandre ayton from the inbound is an actual threat the heat need to worry about.
He needed to stay near him so he could prevent Ayton from getting a deep position near the rim.
He doesn’t have to be all the way at the 3pt line to do that.
Not at all the same, but reminds me of the D’Antoni play where he tricked the New Orleans defense into guarding the wrong hoop and got an open layup. Also has a bit of the Laker’s Sekrit Play to it.
I thought of this one too
Spo must’ve been sleep, bc how was he not yelling “WTF are you doing?!?! Their hoop is over there!” 🤣
Pressing the inbound to reduce the shot clock is so hot right now
I hope you’re being sarcastic. Either way the hoop is all the way over there lmao
They were pressing us full court all game because they knew our players were tired from last night game , 22 hour turnaround with a flight
Out here looking dumb on this possession. Smh.
Senior citizen LeBron runs past their entire defense 😂
2nd in MVP voting
“Brilliant play” and its just LeBron beating his defender down the court
This is the most ‘I don’t know anything about basketball, but watch it sometimes’ comment I’ve ever seen
“bro lebron has the most points ever whats so impressive about a play where he scores”
Nah I see brilliant plays all the time Will Hardys offense is fun as hell to watch
just r/nba things
