Storyline
Lakers: Heat hasn’t found a single combination of ways to contain him, so James has used pick and roll against Miami.He is hunted Tyler herro And Duncan Robinson Switch proved that he could overwhelm young players with his strength and size even in his 17 seasons. Davis played a bounceback game in Game 4 after Heat was able to choke him with the only win in the series, and LA got enough production from the players in that role to secure the win. .. The Lakers have two of the best players in the series, proving that their talent has overwhelmed Miami throughout most of the finals.
heat: Regaining Adebayo certainly helped Miami, but even he couldn’t shake the series enough in favor of the heat. Jimmy Butler After Game 4, Miami said he had to play “Dampy almost perfect” To defeat the Lakers, it wasn’t true anymore, as his team is facing exclusion.Veteran guard Goran Dragic However, after warming up before Game 4, medical staff decided he wasn’t ready to play yet. Hopefully an extra rest day will help Dragic return to the court, otherwise Miami’s chances of winning this game are incredibly small.
Forecast
pick: Miami has been overwhelmed and LA looked like a good team during the series. We all wanted a more competitive match based on how Heat played this postseason, but the Lakers dominated all but one match. I think the series ended on Friday night, with LA winning the title for the first time in 10 years and Lebron winning the fourth ring. Lakers-7
