This really is a switch. It's usually Bron in Jimmy's shoes, giving his all on an overmatched squad while the other team's stars get to pick their spots without completely gassing themselves. Gotta respect the Heat for not just lying down. They could very easily mail it in and no one would blame them but they were out there competing. Gotta salute all those cats.
This Bron/AD shyt looking better and better by the day. Scary thing is, I think we are gonna see another level of AD after this experience. That "can he do it in the playoffs (despite of course avg like 30 and 13 and only losing to the Warriors)" monkey will be off his back. League needs to be on notice.
The thing that stands out to me most about these playoffs and really this entire season is...how did damn near everyone miss so badly with this Lakers squad? Not even on some revisionist, hindsight shyt. I mean you had Bron and AD. That right there is a problem for any team, anywhere in any era. Then you put all these quality role players around them, perfect mix of young and old, overwhelming size all over and a defensive head coach and people really slept on this squad every step of the way. I don't get it. People been screaming "superteam" with every squad Bron's been on the last decade. Yet you had nothing but questions and doubts with this thorough ass squad all year. If we looking at play at both ends especially by superstars, versatility, role players, holes or lack thereof this squad is the best squad he's been and people basically gifted them the "no one believes in us" card. Was it purely Bron spite and/or wishful thinking or am I the only one who saw this shyt clear as day all year?
this series shows exactly why bron/AD kawhi/PG team up and the league is superstar driven...you go to a finals like james in 07 vs the spurs on some one man wrecking crew shyt u gonna get smoked....
