Dragic was the Heat's big mismatch advantage and he's everything to the offense, just a brutal injury for Miami.

Sounds like Bam and Butler are on for Game 2? And Dragic was walking without a boot?

Joe Johnson had this same injury against the Bulls when he was on the Nets. He played the whole series but he sucked hard.

Yeah, it seems like one of those "he could play in the series!", but he only plays like 10 minutes and then shuts it down.

Yeah I think we could definitely see Dragic again but I can't imagine him being able to do much. Bam and Jimmy both said they'll play but those both look like injuries that will significantly impact them. Sucks. I know it was always going to be a long shot and that game was over long before the injury parade began, but I was still excited to see how Spo would adjust and if Miami could at least push them and make the Lakers sweat for it.

I wouldn't completely count them out yet. Spo will make adjustments.

After last night it's tough to imagine them winning this series especially with the three best guys all injured. I don't think the rest of the series will look like that, though. The Lakers were shooting out of their mind for the first two and a half quarters and that likely won't happen again, but you never know. The Lakers size is still terrifying, their second chance scoring and easy lobs are all major issues to be dealt with all series. I don't know what choice Miami has except to get bigger. They might need to start Myers Leonard again. The zone is probably dead, that just isn't going to work against LeBron and AD.

Bam and Dragic both doubtful.

Not looking great. Sucks to have two straight Finals ruined by injuries to multiple starters.

Oh yeah that's true.

2015 also. 3 out of 6 years, that's kinda crazy.

The one the warriors lost was fine

You leave Duncan out of this!!! Miami runs on Duncan!!!

Also hard to understand how the league did such an awful job with the floor all season and now in the finals.

The game was basically over in the 2nd quarter.

No Bam tonight. Time to reanimate Haslems corpse?

I really think the ratings are down because of football. Even if the games aren't on the same night how many nights a week can a guy ignore his wife and watch a game before he get blasted.

Tyler Herro has a stupid walk.

Save us, Meyers Leonard!

Olynyk is not good

You're watching the game?
