Seriously. I was rooting for the Celtics hard, for no other reason than to have a Celtics Lakers finals.
It was a great game until about half way through the 4th, and the Celtics just wilted. Miami's just a little bit better and mentally tougher. It will be interesting to see how the Celtics respond to this next season. It seems like they're just perpetually on the cusp of being great, but they can't quite get over the hump. It feels like we've been saying that for like 4 years now. They need some more depth, but most importantly, they need Tatum to live up to his superstar potential.
Heat Lakers will be a really interesting matchup. I do pick the Lakers, but I think Miami is going to be incredibly tough for them. Miami is just so deep, and they have so many shooters. Lakers have the best 1 and 2 by far, but the Heat have a far better 3-9.
