Well, I agree Iggy is a good defender, but LeBron is just hard to contain. In 2015 LeBron averaged 35.8ppg, 13.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in the NBA finals series. A number which you can't say Iggy and the Warriors did a good job defending LeBron throughout the series. Nonetheless, Iggy is a good piece from both ends of the floor.  The Miami Heat is obviously the underdog with the match up, but I know they can put a good fight like the Denver Nuggets or better.
I'm so excited to see what defensive techniques they'll use to stop LeBron and AD.

The Lakers and Heat reached the Finals with 12-3 balance sheets in the playoffs. In the regular season, the Lakers and Heat have faced twice and have won the Lakers twice: first in November 95-80 at the Staples Center, then in December 113-110 in Florida. The Lakers seem to be the clear favorite, but before the Bucks-Heat competition also few people bet on Miami. And it is the unpredictability of the Florida team that can make these finals very interesting.

At 199 odds, you can put $10, that's already almost $2,000 in return, for the whole series, I think we can afford to bet $10 and enjoy watching the game. As a gambler also, we also consider betting on choices where we think we are confident, like the series bet and per game bet, that $10 is just an extra.

At the end of it, it's still a prediction. Can or cannot happen. But to see such predictions, it's interesting to know the thoughts of other fans and what they like to see from these players.

About the finals MVP, it's likely that Lebron will take it. But there could be a surprise with the other two boys, Butler or AD.

A good point I read. Miami Heat should not just focus on defending LeBron James. Limiting James' activity (which actually we aren't sure if that will be the case) can't really slow down the Los Angeles Lakers' offensive plays. Looking at the playoffs stats, it's obviously that LeBron James is not only the threat unlike in his Cavaliers era that when you remove James, it's a sure loss to Cavaliers*.

But that review is basic. Coach Eric Spoelstra and the whole Miami Heat surely knows that LeBron isn't only the one they need to be focused. I'm sure they already talked about it on the table especially the concern about dealing with Lakers bigman which is no doubt play a big role why Lakers are here in the finals.

This will be a good match. I'm expecting the series will be over in Game 6. Almost 1 hour before the gme tip-off, can't wait to watch it live.

Right, that's why the stats are very interesting, what I'm just trying to say is that Iggy needs to be active as we haven't seen him that much, maybe game 6 but he shows that he is a veteran by contributing with his 3's.

I'm sure Iggy will be the first option to guard Lebron and will be part of probably 3 man rotation team that will guard Lebron. And probably giving tips to others as well, about Lebron's strength's and weaknesses. I know that Miami shouldn't focus more on Lebron, but limiting him will be a big factor in this finals.

Russel could make high score because the ball always pass to his hands and then he does not also hesitate to shoot in the ring. Likewise with Kevin Durant as he was the scoring champion before way back when he was playing in OKC with James Harden. Now that the key players had been separated with James Harden already in the Houston Rockets and experience appearance on series same as with Russel Westbrook but only Kevin Durant had been into championship with Golden States and become an MVP.

With what has happened in game 1, it looks like the Miami heat has no chance anymore, well, that's the risk now. Lakers has a big chance to win this, it might not be a close series though.


This made it even worse, Lakers are so aggressive, Heat didn't see it coming.

They are lack of tall guys and this incident happened, how bad isn't it? Things are not going fine on the side of Heat right now . As you may noticed, the full force of Heat is obviously struggling against them. As far as I remember they weren't able to take the lead even for a single quarter. So what more worse could possibly happen knowing that Adebayo got an injury tsk.

Though high chance for us to see him in Game 2 as per source[/b], I doubt that he can give his best on it. Thus, lose again.
