The NBA Finals are here, and what a series it will be.For the first time in NBA history, two teams that didn’t make the playoffs the season prior will battle for the title. On one side, the Los Angeles Lakers, who are back in the Finals for the first time since 2010. On the other, the Miami Heat, who are back in the Finals for the first time since The Heatles days of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.After shooting 40.0 percent from the perimeter against the Indiana Pacers in the first round and Milwaukee Bucks in the second round, Crowder shot 25.5 percent from 3-point range against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Heat can’t afford for him to go ice cold in the Finals.Green’s 3-point shooting has come and gone in these playoffs, but he’s shown up on the big stage before. Even last season, Green helped the Toronto Raptors win Game 3 of the Finals against the Golden State Warriors with an 18-point game that saw him go 6-for-10 from 3. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him have another one of those nights against the Heat. Speaking of things that will be crucial: Caldwell-Pope’s 3-point shooting and perimeter defence.
He has been the Lakers’ best 3-point shooter in these playoffs and figures to draw the Goran Dragic assignment, which … won’t be easy. Caldwell-Pope could help the Lakers crack the Heat’s zone defence and help slow down their high-powered offence.The Lakers, the arguably expected Western Conference champions, are ready to go in a best-of-seven Finals series against Eastern Conference underdogs the Miami Heat.LeBron James will have Miami’s full attention, However, the ultimate weapon the Lakers have on their roster is Anthony Davis. The 6ft 10in highly-skilled big man adds value all over the court.
Davis has a beautifully-controlled soft touch around the basket, allowing him to score from difficult angles.In the mid-post, he has a solid mid-range jump shot with a high released that makes it difficult to contest. When you combine that with his incredible footwork and composure, he is able to identify a defender’s weakness, select and appropriate move from his ‘skill bank’ and go to work.
While the dominant duo set the tone for their teammates, there’s another deadly duo that almost always makes good things happen for the Lakers. Caruso’s story is one of legend, working his way up from the Lakers’ G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers in 2017-18…fast forward to 2020 and he finds himself as a major cog for the Lakers on both ends of the floor in their quest to lift the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Caruso’s unassuming looks and high-flying exploits have made him an internet favourite, but the 26-year-old is more than a meme. He might well be one of the Lakers’ most important players in the Finals.
His combination of making winning plays, knowing when to score, when to find teammates, and playing hard-nosed defence, makes Caruso not only a valuable piece of the rotation, but a valuable sidekick for LeBron, especially when Anthony Davis is off the floor. According to NBA Stats, the two-man lineup of LeBron and Caruso has posted a net rating of +16.1 in the 233 minutes they’ve played together in the postseason. Good things happen when Alex Caruso is on the floor.
“We’re one and the same when it comes to winning basketball,” James said of Caruso, via the Wall Street Journal. “To see our chemistry together… I think it comes with our minds.”It’s no coincidence that in the Lakers’ biggest game of the season, their closeout Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, Caruso played all 12 minutes of the fourth quarter, finishing the game with 11 points, four assists, two rebounds, one steal, one block and was a plus-16.
“I think Alex Caruso is a true definition of when opportunity meets preparation,” LeBron said following the win. “He’s been preparing for this moment for a long time and he just needed opportunity. Luke [Walton] gave him an opportunity last year, and now Coach Vogel and our coaching staff are giving him an opportunity on a bigger stage. He’s just taking full advantage of that.
“He’s just gotten better and better every single minute he’s on the floor,” James added. “[And] he’s still learning. Every game is still a learning experience for him because he’s so new to the NBA. He played a lot of his minutes over the course of his early stages in the G League. But first time I saw him, and seeing him in some of our practices, it wasn’t the sneaky athleticism. It was the way that he defended and how cerebral he played the game.Caruso has taken the long road to the NBA and with the Lakers in position to win the franchise’s 17th championship, don’t be surprised if Caruso has a big hand in the Lakers’ success.
