I have loved watching the Heat play basketball thus far. The deserve to be where they are at. Tyler Herro is a revelation for a 20 year old. Bam, Butler are two super players. Lots of other guys who play great team ball. The passing, flow and clutch shooting is a pleasure to watch, especially against Boston
That being said, I see the Lakers in 6. The one factor that goes unmentioned too much is the Lakers length when they start Howard. You have Howard, Davis, Bron, KCP, Morris, Kuzma, Green, MaGee all 6'5" and bigger. Only Rondo is a smurf at 6'1".
Do teams with the NBA title playing zone? Not being a smart ass, just can't remember one. I've played zone against taller guys. It sucks. (but then again, I suck at hoops).
The Lakers defend the 3 as well as any team in the league. Can Miami win with 2's?
LaBron and Davis are two of the top 5ish players in the league. Cannot see them losing in crunch time. Winning the chip has required a super star to take care of the last 2 minutes of the key games. Advantage Lakers. And the Lakers D.
Lakers in 6 because of their experience, length and defense.
