Typically making such comments directly at officials will warrant a fine so it remains to see what , if any action, the League will take.

Lakers loss in game 3: Bump in the road or do we have a real series?

October 5, 2020October 5, 2020 Brandon King

I have no rooting interest in the NBA Finals; all I want to see as many games of quality basketball in this series as possible. After watching the first two games of the 2020 NBA Finals, I thought I would be denied that , as the Lakers easily overwhelmed the Heat in the first two contests. While I fully expected to continue to compete, I did not have the expectation, as I did with Denver, that they were always on the verge of a comeback. It seemed that the Heat…
