This series is over before it even began. The Heat are about to be as cold as ice. The Lakers are going to send them packing before they even realize they are in the finals.
The Heat have had one of the easiest roads to the finals. They faced the Pacers in the first round. Need I say more? They STINK. Okay onto round 2 where they play the Bucks. Yeah the Bucks are good during the regular season but as soon as they have to play 7 games vs one team it is easy to exploit them and shut down Giannis. It also didn't help that Giannis got injured and didn't play for part of the series. Next the Celtics who collapsed and forgot how to play basketball. The Heat still barely beat them and that was some of the worst basketball I have seen. They skinned by. They are a Tatum dunk away from that being a series and them being possibly eliminated. The Celtics had no down low presence and couldn't guard the most run play in basketball, the pick and roll. Theis is at best a bench player. He was the Celtics starting center. Not ideal.
Onto the Lakers. Ever heard of Anthony Davis? Dwight Howard? Javalle McGee? Anthony Davis is 6 foot 10 inches. Dwight Howard is 6 foot 11 inches. Javalle McGee is 7 feet. What does this mean? It means they are going to eat Bam Adebayo Alive down low. Bam comes in at a whopping 6 foot 9 inches. 1 inch may not seem like much but he is their best big man. Kelly Olynyk is their other big man at 6 foot 11 inches. He is not nearly on the skill level of any of the guys on the Lakers. Oh and did I mention the Lakers also have people outside that can shoot. Something the Bucks couldn't do. The Lakers are deep and have plenty of talent around those 3 big men. Now I am not saying those are the 3 best big men of all time. AD is next level but for Dwight and McGee they are simply just role players off the bench. Nothing special. But they will give the Heat a problem down low. The Heat haven't had to play a team built like the Lakers. Yeah I know what you're going to say well what abut Giannis? Giannis plays like a point guard driving down the lane. He doesn't post up and he doesn't shoot the deep ball all that often. AD shoots the 3 and posts up. Dwight posts up. These guys are all excellent rebounders as well.
Did I mention the Lakers also have a guy by Lebron James. Don't know if you've heard of him but he's pretty good. He is going to have a field day. No one on the Heat can matchup and at least slow him down. There really is no guarding him. You just don't want him to drop 50. He just might against the Heat. Lebron is always next level come playoffs and this year has been no different. The way he leads his team is off the charts. He may not always have the numbers but it shows when he is on the court. The way he creates opportunities for everyone is insane.
Lebron finally has an easy path to the ship. If he some how chokes this one away, no one will ever put him in the same sentence with Jordan ever again. This is his easiest opponent in the finals ever. Don't mess it up.
