Game 1 beat down. It's like the Miami boys playing against LA men. Looking forward to game 2 and the adjustments the Heat coach will make. I'm pretty sure his boys will try to take revenge. Their embarrassing loss should wake them up from their dream hehe.

And it really looks like a mis-match in game 1. The energy of Miami Heat is not there anymore. We don't know if they are caught off guard with Lakers defense and their outside shooting. I'm expecting that Miami will come in the 3rd quarter a different team.

The adjustment is on coach Spo now, but with three of his main players injured or doubts in game 2, might be difficult to overcome this Lakers team in game 2, unless they will have like an off-night.

The matchups showed very mismatch anyone who guarded AD can't handled him while LeBron is also in it's attack mode.

Coach Spo needs to find ways to bring his rookies in shape and not be bothered, they need to play harder  than what they've showed earlier the series still on and they've got a lots of time to adjust and bring the competition to the next level. They already here in the finals so better to show up what they've capable of.

Good news and bad news for BAM!.

https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/30440/bam-adebayo

Quote
Bam Adebayo strained his left shoulder and did not return after 21 minutes of Miami's Game 1 defeat.

The good news is that X-rays were negative. The bad news is that shoulder injuries rarely require X-rays, and an MRI might be needed to fully assess the damage here. It's the NBA Finals, so Bam will presumably play through anything, but time will tell. If he misses games, Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard both stand to gain.

That's the latest update, hope everything will be negative so he will be positive to play in game 2, the team needs his presence though the Lakers are so big but they are faster if they will work out a good plan.
I wish him to be in good faith and nothing really happened that bad and there's nothing to worry about. Yes, it's the finals and it would be very bad for him to feel that if findings are positive. We all acknowledge the strength of Lakers but for a team who's competing at the finals, each of them are very much important in these times from support, subs, plays, presence and almost everything that they can contribute to the team whether they win or lose.

Odds for game 2 are out on Bitsler. Still some good odds available for the Lakers even though they're the favorites me thinks.

Miami doesn't have much to offer now. Bam isn't going to be 100% fit for the entire series even if he comes back for game 2. Still, I want to see surprises from the Heat bench.

It sucks to see injuries happen but let's not take away anything from this man. He did really well in his first ever NBA Finals appearance. He could also win the finals MVP.

Just hope they would be okay, injuries are really a bummer when it comes to these games knowing that they really worked hard for this finals. Watching the game, it is either Miami is caught off guard with how the Lakers play or either it is a mismatch proving how Lakers are dominant in this season. Did not bet with this game but I guess I would put my money on Lakers now knowing the scenario of their opponents.
LOL, you can't get a good bet now to lakers vs. miami unless you will going to risk like allowing for +2 games for miami to win in bet.

Here in our place we bet locally and before the Final Series had started people are talking about betting. Since lakers are favorite miami fans had given +1 game for miami to win in betting. However, the other side still not accepting it and had ask for + 2 games for miami. If miami will get a 2 wins then it would be a win for +2 games miami. So now,  good luck on looking for bet. It would be difficult I guess to look for a match that will accept your bet except if you will risk more in betting.

Do you agree guys?
At the end of it, it's still a prediction. Can or cannot happen. But to see such predictions, it's interesting to know the thoughts of other fans and what they like to see from these players.

About the finals MVP, it's likely that Lebron will take it. But there could be a surprise with the other two boys, Butler or AD.

Lebron will most likely get the MVP but i wont be surprised if there are other would be on the selection. Butler and AD are indeed ideal too.
They are eligible candidates for the MVP title.

Good game for game 1.

Lakers took the game, broken expectation mostly for Heat and the fans.

A huge blowout in the first game indeed.

A sweep can be happen with what happened to the Heat. Bam isn't 100% healthy right now because of the injury. Dragic will not play this whole Finals because of his leg injury and Butler suffered an ankle injury in the first half. 3 of their best players suffered an injury and this is just Game 1. The Heat has no legitimate back up Center so the injury of Bam is a big hit for them.

I expect that the Lakers will win in 6 games but with what happened, there is a high chance that the Heat can be swept.

it is a great game mate,nothing to be embarrasses on that part,and being in Finals.all are contributing in games giving their best each shooting.

L.A is really the favorite in this face off but Miami won't give that easy,there will be a good game in the 2nd final.


I'm hoping.... yeah, hoping that Miami would bounce back after they got blowout today.
We know that they are the underdog but we never expected they will be blowout in the first game of the NBA Finals, plus those injuries, that's a big minus.

This made it even worse, Lakers are so aggressive, Heat didn't see it coming.


yeah, while everyone expected that Heat is going to be on their max in first match, it was quite opposite, and Lakers done the job in first half
it could be said that they needed one half to claim a title, but hopefully Heat will re-organize for next match, since if they lose match no.2, IMO this series could be over in four matches
Heat started hot in the first quarter, but that's it, after that Lakers woke up from their slumber. Play good defense and they hitting outside shots and Heat doesn't have any answers at all. But, Bam Adebayo intends to play in Game 2 vs. Lakers on Friday [UPDATE]. I do hope that he is fine though, we don't want him aggravate that injury even more at it might affect him in the future.

Huge blowout win by the LA Lakers, but it's just one win, what I'm worried with the Heat now is Bam's health, hopefully he will be back, he is one of the most important piece of the Heat. While this is a bad news for the heat.
They are lack of tall guys and this incident happened, how bad isn't it? Things are not going fine on the side of Heat right now Undecided. As you may noticed, the full force of Heat is obviously struggling against them. As far as I remember they weren't able to take the lead even for a single quarter.
No, you missed the first quarter, Heat was on the lead at the start of the game, they up like 13 points I believe but Lakers had a good run to even lead in the first quarter. If it's literally by the end of the quarter, Heat lead in the 4th quarter with a score of 31-23.

So what more worse could possibly happen knowing that Adebayo got an injury tsk.

Though high chance for us to see him in Game 2 as per source[/b], I doubt that he can give his best on it. Thus, lose again.

Let's just hope he can play in game 2, otherwise, it will be a boring series.

Iggy is still a good defender, he was very useful in the Heat vs Celtics series and IIRC, he was playing more minutes in game 6 where they close out the Celtics, so I guess he can still guard Lebron as he knows him very well.
Andre is 36 years old, Lebron is 35, it's a good match up in age as i don't see Andre slowed down.

If heat will pull a surprise, and Andre did a better job on BRON, he could win as Finals MVP with 199.95 betting odds (current odds), he should bet on himself.

Right, that's why the stats are very interesting, what I'm just trying to say is that Iggy needs to be active as we haven't seen him that much, maybe game 6 but he shows that he is a veteran by contributing with his 3's.

I'm sure Iggy will be the first option to guard Lebron and will be part of probably 3 man rotation team that will guard Lebron. And probably giving tips to others as well, about Lebron's strength's and weaknesses. I know that Miami shouldn't focus more on Lebron, but limiting him will be a big factor in this finals.

With what has happened in game 1, it looks like the Miami heat has no chance anymore, well, that's the risk now. Lakers has a big chance to win this, it might not be a close series though.

48 points from Russell Westbrook and 43 points from Kevin Durant. Total 91 points, that's very impressive!
This is only duo to score 40+ each since Jordan & Pippen in 1996!
Russel could make high score because the ball always pass to his hands and then he does not also hesitate to shoot in the ring. Likewise with Kevin Durant as he was the scoring champion before way back when he was playing in OKC with James Harden. Now that the key players had been separated with James Harden already in the Houston Rockets and experience appearance on series same as with Russel Westbrook but only Kevin Durant had been into championship with Golden States and become an MVP.
