They’re Dancing in Los Angeles!

The NBA Finals were never in doubt, right? LeBron is not washed, repeat, LeBron is not washed. Anthony Davis can do everything and everything is going smoothly. They have the two big men who only get paid for their rebounding, JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard. Kentavious Caldwell Pope and Danny Green, (who literally hurt me when he missed the wide-open shot to seal the game), are two knockdown shooters who line out the lineup. The reserves aren’t too snazzy, Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma lead the way, but not much shooting there, except for Kuzma, but he’ll do anything and everything, he’ll be the next Kareem Abdul Jabaar times Michael Jordan if it means LeBron doesn’t trade him. I don’t know how Frank Vogel is leading the charge for the Lake Show, I mean, the talent’s there, but without good coaching, you’ll be just as good as the local bingo team (watch out though, Aunt Josie’s a rebounding threat, and Old Sammy’s an all-around legend). Not that Vogel’s bad, it’s just that I would expect someone like Gregg Popovich to lead this team.

Here come the Heat now, with no one as their true point guard, but Jimmy Butler will play point forward, the two best catch and shoot shooters in the league, Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson (even though Herro has cooled down since the Boston series, he needs to heat up tonight if the Heat will have a chance. I would never take the Heat starting lineup if I had a choice, they play small ball without shooting at all five positions and a non-speedy and old point guard. The bench needs a lot of work, it’s the weak spot for the team, Kendrick Nunn and Kelly Olynyk are the best on the bench, and Kelly should not even be in the same sentence as “second-best on the bench” Eric Spoelstra has been amazing, this team would be nowhere near the playoffs without this mastermind.  Who is the Pascal Siakam of coaching, UNDER-rated, UNDER-rated, UNDER-rated. Thinking towards the 2020-2021 season, with a different point guard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, their lineup will be: Austin Rivers, Jordan Clarkson at PG, Duncan Robinson at SG, Jimmy Butler at SF, Giannis Antetokounmpo at PF, and Bam Adebayo at C and Tyler Herro at sixth man, let that sink in for a moment...

I think that the Heat will force 7 games, but LeBron will charge through everyone and win Game 7 for his fourth ring. 

Well, the Lakers have done it 106-93, quite possibly by sedating all the Heat players, or Frank Vogel paid Eric Spoelstra to make plays for the Heat that make them play for the other team. But wow, what a rout, winning by 13 but up by 30, yes, three zero at the start of the fourth quarter. LeBron James gets his fourth ring, Anthony Davis was saved from a ruined career on the Pelicans and now won a ring. Maybe Kyle Kuzma won’t get traded because LeBron would be distracted. But, Bronny Jr. will get a whooping of a lifetime because he posted a picture of him smoking weed on Instagram. But, for Heat fans, don’t be sad, next year you’re going to be plowing through anyone in your way, with Giannis paving the way.
