Lakers vs Heat: Danny Green called 'goofy a**' by angry fans after failed final 3-shot costs LA a potential win

The idea was for James to weave through for a shot, or pass the ball on to Danny Green who could take a 3-pointer that he's taken a million times in practice. Just for him to miss

Los Angeles Lakers had the play planned out perfectly with good 16-odd seconds left in the clock. They had time for one final play and all knew the Miami Heat would be all over LeBron James after he scorched the court with 40 points with 13 rebounds and seven assists. The idea was for James to weave through for a shot, or pass the ball on to Danny Green who could take a 3-pointer that he's taken a million times in practice. And it went as planned only up to the part where Green failed to send the ball swooshing in. 

There was a rebound, Markieff Morris picked it up only for a turnover and that sealed the deal for Miami as they enforced a Game 6 with a 111-108 win. The loss was also the first for the Lakers in their Mamba jerseys and needless to say, Lakers fans, who have had a tough time dealing with Green's rough patch, took to Twitter to express their disappointment. 

"Danny Green goofy a** was still suppose to hit that shot," read one of the tweets. "Danny Green has shot 31.7% from 3 these playoffs that’s just absolutely disgraceful there’s no ands, ifs or buts about it," read another. Frustration was the keyword as fans were devastated after the loss. "Danny Green. I want to kill myself. I want to die. Right now. Please," wrote a dejected fan.



 



 



 

"Danny green had no reason shooting that shot with so much time left. great win by the heat, i hope game 6 is as good as this was," reckoned one of the fans. "This man had them put the Kobe jerseys on just to throw Danny Green the ball with the money on the line. Lmaoo," wrote a fan.



 



 

Green wasn't the only one to take the blame as Morris was equally trashed. "everybody blaming Danny green for missing when he been doing that the whole series. DID YALL NOT WATCH MORRIS PASS THE BALL OUT BOUNDS ?! He was nervous. Hot potato head a**." "I’m all with the bashing Danny green as a Lebron and Lakers fan but we not gonna let Morris slide," opined one of the fans.



 



 

The one consolation, though, would be that the Lakers still maintain a 3-2 lead. Davis chipped in with 28 points and 12 rebounds with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the Lakers’ third-best scorer with 16 points. Miami's hero was Jimmy Butler with 35 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and five steals and finding an able ally in Duncan Robinson with 26 points.

Game 6 will be played on Sunday at 7:30 pm ET.
