Miami Heat are winning the NBA Championship

[francesco totti]

Keep sleeping over the 10 - 1 record in playoffs. They are something else.

[francesco totti]

This is Spurs-esque 2013-14

[lilteapot]

Yea I'm kinda worried

[francesco totti]

They are what the Clippers were supposed to be. That disruptive defense you saw from Butler - Crowder is what George - Kawhi should have been.

[TheGoatest]

So which team should the Lakers be scared of, exactly?

The one that has the near-perfect 10-1 record in these playoffs?
Or the one that has the worst possible, 14-6 record for a team at this point of the playoffs?

I've seen both of these polar-opposites be thrown around by the haters, because they can't make up their minds. The reality is that all of the remaining teams are going down to a healthy Lakers team.

Never doubt the league agenda.

The Heat have won the past two games by one shot or less.

Refs could easily dictate above that to promote the league's agenda.

The majority of the Laker 'fanbase' on here are not Laker fans....so get off the high horse tbh

What is the league agenda?

And Spo's doing this without a superstar.


All those years Lebron stans called him a terrible coach on this forum (poor Lebron never had a Phil Jackson/Popovich!!!), now he's arguably the best coach in these Playoffs. What a time.

To be fair, it has been more than 6 years since LeBron played his last game under Spo. It's quite possible he may have improved as a coach in that time.

Don't forget this is his 12th season as head coach Miami. How many other deep playoff runs has he made in "Least" over that time?

This. I’m on the anyone but lakers trip but it seems it’s not happening now and full credit to Lebron as much as it sucks. Still love u lambruh

I dunno if this is a fair comment . He has a decent team now and they are winning

[Derka]

If they take my Celtics out, I'm on board for the Miami championship cruise. This Miami team is a joy to watch.

Nah man. Stars typically win chips and heat have none and lakers have 2. One being one of the greatest ever. History is on the lakers side.

LeBron has lost to multiple teams with ensemble casts around past-their-prime stars. Jimmy Butler has been a star in the playoffs. So has Bam. Dragic is playing the best ball of his career. He's at All-star/NBA 3rd team level right now. Bam and Butler are also playing at All-Star level. Herro has some of the biggest nuts for a rookie I have ever seen.


Also, LOL at this "Jokic will be facing super athletic and tough defenders". Are they going to bother him more than Gobert? Jokic is a passer. The thing that makes him great is that he's an offensive hub. You want to throw athletic rim protectors at him? He's going to take them out of the paint, and make plays for his team on the perimeter. You want to unleash the dogs and double team him? HE WANTS THAT. Double all day, it just makes his job easier.

I'd LOVE to see a Heat-Nuggets finals. Two teams playing ball.

I was thinking this this morning. The NBA front office would meltdown if these were the two teams in the Finals. Celtics/Lakers or even Lakers/Heat would be great matchups, but Denver/Miami would just be so blah.

Giannis isn't a superstar? Tatum isn't an emerging superstar as well?

Spo's coaching always went underrated during those Heat championship years, the defense he had Bosh & Wade playing in that '13 Finals...:bowdown:

The guy was hurt.

[jayfan]

They definitely have an '04 Pistons vibe to them.

Lead with defense, well coached, hard working, playing beautiful team ball, everyone has & knows his role.

They don't have enough talent or experience.
