It might be the Finals debut for Davis, Butler and Adebayo but to a certain extent, we know what we’ll see from each of the above stars at this stage.Iguodala and Udonis Haslem are the only two members of the Heat roster that have played on the NBA Finals stage.
While Haslem is an invaluable locker room presence, he’s onIy seen 44 minutes of action during the entirety of the 2019-20 season. Iguodala, on the other hand, has been a key component of the team since they acquired him at the trade deadline.
Iguodala’s postseason averages of 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 19.4 minutes per game might not jump off the page but he’s a calming presence on the floor that is capable of having games like he did to close the Eastern Conference Finals, when he finished with 15 points on perfect 5-for-5 shooting.
It’s Iguodala’s sixth consecutive Finals appearance and the fifth time seeing LeBron on this stage, so he’ll definitely spend some time matched up with James.The best way to define Crowder’s play this postseason is solid and reliable.He’s been solid on both ends of the floor but where he really has made a difference is with his shot making ability. Crowder’s 3-point shooting hasn’t necessarily been the most consistent but we’ve seen how quickly his ability to hit shots can open up a game.
In five of Miami’s 15 postseason games, Crowder has drained four or more triples. He was in a special zone during the Bucks series as he shot 22-for-51 (43.1%) from deep before cooling down a bit in the Eastern Conference Finals.
As 3-point shooting is a potential vulnerability of the Lakers, Crowder can be a game-changer if he finds his rhythm from beyond the arc once again.The Miami Heat are headed back to the NBA Finals. Making their sixth appearance, and the first since 2014, Miami becomes the third-lowest seeded team to reach the NBA Finals since 1984.
They will be contesting the Los Angeles Lakers, making this the first Finals matchup between two teams who missed the playoffs the previous season. And they eliminated the Boston Celtics, who now join the Rockets in recent ignominy as the co-leaders for most playoff wins (29) without a Finals appearance over the last five seasons.Heading into his 10th NBA Finals appearance LeBron became just the fourth player in NBA history to make 10 or more Finals appearances, tied with Laker legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Only Boston Celtics legends Sam Jones (11) and Bill Russell (12) have been to the Finals more.
To put it in context, LeBron has been to the Finals more than 27 current NBA franchises.While the Larry O’Brien trophy is the main goal awaiting him in the bubble, LeBron’s amazing run of playoff success has him poised to set even more records.
If he leads the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th title and is named Finals MVP – which has been the case in each of his three championships – he will become the first player in NBA history to win Finals MVP with three different teams.Currently, only two other players, have won Finals MVP with two different teams – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Bucks & Lakers) and Kawhi Leonard (Spurs & Raptors).
He will also be just the third player in NBA history to win championships with three different franchises, joining John Salley (Pistons, Bulls, Lakers) and Robert Horry (Rockets, Spurs, Lakers).
Standing in his way are the Miami Heat, who have proven throughout this post-season that they fear no team, boasting a 12-3 record through three rounds, identical to the Lakers.When it comes to Finals MVP, LeBron could well face competition from his running mate Anthony Davis, who has been nothing short of spectacular in 15 playoff games, averaging 28.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game on 57.1% from the field – not to mention his game-winner at the buzzer against the Nuggets in Game 2.
In their closeout Game 6 win over the Nuggets in the Conference Finals, LeBron showed that he still has an extra gear, dropping a ridiculous 38 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists as he took over the fourth quarter to send the Nuggets home.
