Open Thread: Lakers-Heat Finals Game 2

The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat will face off tonight in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Los Angeles took Game 1 handily. The Heat are missing center Bam Adebayo and will start former Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard tonight. Greet Meyers’ first NBA Finals start and root for the He...uhhhh for whomever you’re rooting for right here!

(Seriously, do you still have an attachment to Meyers or is it more out of sight, out of mind for you? Chat about that pre-game if you wish!)

Tip-off: 6 p.m. PT

Watch: ABC

The new usual rules apply:

1. No swearing.
2. No pictures/videos
3. No discussions of streaming besides all the legit ones.
4. Be cool to not only each other, but also somewhat respectful toward the people on TV. It’s totally appropriate to vent frustration, of course.
5. Occasional complaints about bad calls are totally fine. Constant, repeated complaints about the refs (including in ALL CAPS) are not.
