Imagine if the finals was played in Miami and LA would be the best finals in years

So many storylines for this year's NBA Finals.

-Lebron going against his old team.
-Pat Riley wanting to exact revenge on Lebron
-Iggy making his 6th straight Finals appearance, meeting a familiar foe in Lebron back from the Cleveland-Warriors series
-Butler and James renewed, way back from the Bulls-Heat rivalry during the 2011 and 2012 Playoffs (17-17 against each other)
-Bam, Herro, Davis, and Rondo all went to Kentucky
-Spoelstra and Vogel facing again, throwback from the Heat-Pacers rivalry
-First time 2 teams that didn't make the playoffs last season, makes the Finals this year

The emotions this game will have. Can't wait tomorrow!

Having seen these games, a few things to note-
Heat
- completely different squad- Nunn is out and the hedging is better with him sitting. Dragic starts and gets hot early consistently providing back to back buckets and a quick first step
- Haslem, Jones Jr barely playing any time and James Johnson got traded, the team is much more efficient without them.
- Meyers Leonard could see more minutes with Bam probably being harassed by Howard under the ring. Jae Crowder is another wildcard but I do think his 3pt shooting won't be as efficient anymore against this offense
- Herro has bloomed to be a consistent bucket getter off the bench and Duncan Robinsons constant off ball movement ensures that if LA stays home as they usually do on offenses like that, Robinson gets opportunities to make threes.

As for the Lakers
- AD will have a field day forcing Adebayo to play much further outside of the paint leaving a smaller Heat defense with Dragic and Robinson struggling to contain points in the paint (this is where Leonard and even Derrick Jones Jr could see play time)
- Bradley is out and Rondo is flourishing, he's gonna cause problems for a mostly winded Bam (if AD goes off). Jimmy Butler will be a major area of concern with his shifty sneaky cuts to the basket and KCP will have to come off the weak side to help more often.
All in all, this is a chess game for sure

Congrats to the Heat! They’re going to be a tough match up. You got Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro who can shoot the lights out, Bam who showed us offensively and defensively why he’s a star in this League. Dragic, Crowder, and Igoudala who are top notch Veterans, solid bench players, Leadership and Mentality of Jimmy and an elite NBA coach like Spoelstra. Their zone defense is undeniable, with all that being said and you take into account what they’re capable of doing, this could easily be
Lakers in 5.

2020 has been crazy I know you're lying if you're telling me you guys had the Heat coming out of the east before the Bubble even started aside from the Heat fans

Im a heat fan and the only way that we can win the finals is teamwork because team work beats talent 100%. But I give props to La for teamwork to but I can't wait for this series.
