Series Preview
The storylines abound in this one.
It starts with the obvious. Both the Heat and Lakers should have intimate knowledge of one another. The last time the Heat were in the Finals was 2014 when James was playing on an Erik Spoelstra-coached team in South Beach.
Now, it’s going to be up to Spoelstra to scheme up a way to stop a man who was once his best player. And it will be up to that player to break down whatever Spoelstra draws up.
There isn’t much to draw from the two regular-season games they played. Both games were long before the bubble as they played in November and December 2019, close to a year ago.
However, it’s worth noting that James had his way with the Heat and Anthony Davis was an even bigger problem. In the two games, King James averaged 26.5 points, 9.0 assists and 6.5 rebounds while Davis had 29.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks.
James and Davis are undoubtedly the best players in the series. But looking back at those games doesn’t take into account the Heat’s development over the course of the season. Something that has included the development of several Heat players.
One of which is Tyler Herro. The rookie has become an offensive force off the bench for Miami. He’s a great example of how the Heat can rely on a number of players to carry the offensive burden on a given night. He was key in the Heat taking a commanding lead of the Eastern Conference Finals with 37 points in Game 4.
The Finals also represents the first time that Jimmy Butler will have a shot at an NBA championship. The fierce competitor has never been beyond the conference semifinals and will now have the biggest stage of them all.
Bam Adebayo’s first trip to the Finals is also worth keeping an eye on. The third-year player was a finalist for the NBA’s Most Improved Player of the Year Trophy this season and that development has continued in the playoffs.
