miami has much more intense ball pressure. they will play a 3-2 zone with jimmy, bam, and tucker up front. bam is like a bigger version of draymond and even have guards that will really get up into you. the warriors are a good defense team too but its not nearly as intense as miami. you see the celtics getting the shots they want much easier. the warriors defense is more just being in the right spot at all times and they dont have a rim protector. miami tries to bully you.

people keep saying he needs to "step up" like he's not playing elite defense and becoming the best offensive rebounder in the playoffs and still giving his usual 17-20ppg isnt "stepping up"
He does need to step up.

It's hilarious how you're saying he's given his usual "17-20 ppg" when he's actually only averaging 16 ppg in the Finals (on 15 shots, nonetheless, which is inefficient; the league-average TS is 57% and he's only 51% in the Finals - that should give you a scale on how inefficient he's been). Klay is averaging 17 points on 16 shots, and everyone would say he needs to step up on offense too. Wiggins has been left open and is typically against the softest matchup, and yet he's still not capitalizing on it. They need him to be better in that capacity. And his defense hasn't been elite either.

He's been busting his ass trying to do the little things, and that is commendable (especially given one of the main criticisms about his game was he wasn't trying hard enough), but he needs to provide Steph with some offensive help, as does everyone else on the squad.
