it will be a miracle if miami can pull this off

I see 6 all-star caliber players on the Heat and 2 on the Lakers

I see Butler > Kawhit, Bam being the best big man since Shaq (and perfect for this era), I see the best youngster in the game in Herro (future 1st ballot HOFer), I see elite 3 and D players in Crowder and Iggy. Dragic is an underrated stud who gives you elite IQ on both ends and 20ppg .... wow



God damn. Heat are one of the best teams of all time.

Lol @ this troll thread.

The Heat is definitely a heavy underdog in this Finals series, though the good news for them is that Lebron has a strong tendency to lose in NBA Finals, going 3/9 so far. I think he just lacks the DNA to win in NBA finals, he tends to lose in NBA Finals regardless of his own performance, quite opposite to some players like Duncan who managed to help his team to win in Finals no matter how good his own stats were. The Heat was 3/5 in the NBA Finals as a team, contrary to Lebron's Finals Record.

The Lakers have played three soft teams that played shit defense. Miami is a team of grinders. I still think the Lakers win the series because they have the two best players on the court, but Miami isn't going to roll over like Portland, Houston and Denver did.

True. Eastern conference is filled with dogs. This is why LeBron is lucky to finally be in the easy West

who would the heat plan to put on AD other than bam anyway? lebron himself will be a hard matchup but at least you have butler, crowder, past-it iguodala.

[Trollsmasher]

if the heat put Bam on AD (who will cook him anyway) Dwight will average 16 and 16 for a surprise FMVP

It could be like 04 pistons

agree. just a bad matchup for the heat. i doubt they win 2 games, much less 1.

I'm not sure if Dwight or McGee will be able to stay on the floor with AD. Miami shares the ball and their shooters move constantly. I don't think Howard or McGee can chase Robinson around, so the Lakers will need to adjust and play small-ball.

Then it'll come down to Bam vs AD. AD is the superior player and will probably get Bam in foul trouble, which will be the Heat's downfall as they don't have another big that can even come close to checking AD. I can see AD winning the FMVP.

This Laker team is too good. Their size alone will disrupt Miamis offense and their skill is too good to keep up with.

Lakers may sweep.

Tyler Herro - 13th pick
Adebayo - 14th pick
Butler - 30th pick
Crowder - 34th pick
Dragic - 45th pick
Robinson - Udrafted

meanwhile...

LeBron James - 1st pick
Anthony Davis - 1st pick
Dwight Howard - 1st pick

Always stacking the deck just like in Miami and Cleveland.

Irving 1st pick
Wade 2nd pick
Bosh 4th pick
Love 5th pick

Give me three top 5 pick players and I can easily win a title. It's not impressive to anyone.
