Miami +300 on Bet MGM. Getting a lot of respect.

I wouldn't be surpsied if LeBron averages a trip-dub for the Finals.

 

[Wamu]

Someone shove a basketball in Paul's mouth to shut him the fuck up. Yeah he's a Celtics legend. But he gets on my nerves sometimes.

 

[Black Adam]

wiggy sayz Cleveland has better beaches than L.A. or Miami.

how'd both these team's make it to the finals anyhow? We all know WiggityWack's a basketball sage around here...

he couldn't possibly have been wrong...

 

[PPhan]

Besides the Clippers, Miami is the toughest matchup for the Lakers imo. I don’t think we will win the series tbh, but I’m not going to predict against my team. Miami in 6

I like the Lakers to win in 5 very close games.

Ehm... really?

Look, I have a lot of respect for the Heat. If the Lakers weren’t in the Finals I’d be rooting for them.

But the Lakers are a complete matchup nightmare for Miami. They have absolutely nobody to guard AD and Lebron.

Bam can guard AD more than anyone in the first 3 rounds and it isn't close. He's a much better on the ball defender than Whiteside/Nurk and Jokic. As for PJ, he's a good on the ball defender but he was way too small for AD....Bam isn't.

As for Bron, they have multiple bodies they can throw at him as well. Butler, Crowder, and Iggy are all good defenders.

What we're not going to do is act like Jimmy, Bam, and a few others on the Heat are all of sudden shitty defenders because they're playing the Lakers

Are you kidding me? Bam is completely outmatched against AD.

In the regular season Bam scored a grand total of 23 points against AD. Davis had 59. This isn’t even close.

So what is your prediction for the series then?

Heat in 7

You don't seriously expect Heat fans to predict their team to lose in the finals right?

Absolutely not. I respect your honesty.

Where the heck is @TurnUpTheHeat ?

I'm here. Actually went 'away' for weekend to new local Hard Rock.
We should have known it would be an All Disney Finals.
Not that I ever wish any injuries on anyone, but I think the Heat is 1 A.D. injury away from winning the title.
Either way, great season by both teams.
The NBA did a great job, and found a way to complete this season.

Those players who skipped out on the bubble doubting the nba must feel silly. Not a single positive test in nearly 3 months of being in the bubble

seeing this a lot but didn't most Heat fans have their team going about as far as he did?
