Hebu msome huyu Bwana mkubwa hapo chini!.
With the stage now set, here are a few thoughts on what looks to be another classic Final's matchup:
- The Spurs get a bad rap as a boring team, but both the Heat and Spurs ranked number one and two respectively in offensive efficiency rating this season. Each squad runs an analytics-friendly offense: expect to see the rock flying around the perimeter and a lot of open threes off of drive-and-kicks.
- When I watch the Spurs, I find myself wondering if some of their players are actually good. Obviously, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are all-time talents, but I can't help but think sometimes that if Danny Green were still on the Cavs, he'd be the last man on the bench. Another example: Patty Mills -- he was in and out of the league before landing in San Antonio in 2012 and now he looks like the second coming of Mark Price. It seems Popovich's famed offensive system gives players like Mills and Green an opportunity to showcase their skills or maybe these guys are just putting in work with shooting coach, Chip Engelland -- the man credited with teaching Kawhi and Tony Parker to shoot. I don't know what the secret formula is, but regardless I'll take two of whatever Marco Belinelli is having. No one cared to sign the Italiani after the 2013 campaign -- and for good reason -- he was an average-to-below-average NBA shooting guard. Put him on the Spurs? BAM!...best season as a pro. More than any other team in the NBA, San Antonio knows how to squeeze all the talent out of their assets.
- Lebron has to put his imprint on this series from the jump. Best way to do it? Take Kawhi down to the low block and dominate from the post by either scoring if the help doesn't come or, if the second defender does commit to him, by whipping the ball across court to open shooters. In the first five games of the Finals last year, the Spurs went under screens and begged James to take wide-open threes and long-range twos. The strategy seemed to mess up James' rhythm and when he didn't make his shots early, he appeared to lose confidence in his outside stroke. I wouldn't be surprised if Pop pulled out a totally new tactic on defense this year aimed to screw with LBJ's head in a different way, but no matter what the Mad, Angry Scientist comes up with, Lebron has to beat it if the Heat are going to have a chance in this series.
- That being said, Lebron can't win the Finals by himself. The Heat need Wade and Bosh to be in contention for second, third or (at worst) fourth best player in the series in order to win. Either Wade or Bosh (preferably both) need to consistently play better than at least three of the Spurs top guys (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili or Leonard) in order to win. If Lebron plays great, but Wade and Bosh are meh, while let's say Duncan, Ginobili and Leonard are the second through fourth best players in the game respectively, than the Heat will lose. Does that make sense?
- What is Kawhi Leonard going to do in this series? He is the biggest wildcard on either team -- all the other players that get big time minutes are (more or less) proven commodities or at least known commodities, but Kawhi has the chance to transcend his role as the defense-and-corner-threes stalwart and emerge as a star. The Heat only have two reliable shot-creators in Wade and Lebron -- the minimum required to win in the playoffs. If Kawhi steps up and becomes the Spurs's third reliable playmaker behind Parker and Ginobili the Heat are in trouble.
