Not really a surprise to me. Miami is a team which flew under the radar screen most of the season. Their lineup is a mixture of experience and youth which has been managed beautifully by coach Erik Spoelstra.
I can’t go as far to say they could beat the Lakers, but of the three teams left minus the Lakers I would say they would have the best chance to derail LeBron in the Finals.
But given the Cinderella nature of what Denver has done to date in this post season…I should probably hold off just automatically advancing the Lakers into the Finals.
A Lakers-Heat finals given that Lebron won two rings playing for Pat Riley and Spoelstra would seem fitting as we head towards our Bubble NBA Finals.
As an NBA fan in general… I can’t wait to see if the lights in this LA series will burn too bright for the young Nuggets to make it a compelling Western Conference Finals.
I’m very excited to watch Jerami Grant’s role in the series. This why Denver made this trade. I’m not sure why Oklahoma City made the trade.
Football can wait–we now have a Dallas Stars vs. Tampa Lightning Stanley Cup Finals and a possible LeBron vs. Miami Heat reunion.
Pretty good…all things considered.
