MIAMI -- — Bam Adebayo caught a lob for an alley-oop dunk midway through the fourth quarter, then threw a lob to Jimmy Butler for another dunk about a minute later.
Both were very easy.
Joel Embiid could complicate those plays going forward...It's a shame. Miami had the best record in the conference over 82 games; Doc Rivers idiotically keeps Embiid in a blowout with 4' left and the what the "Heat" do in this series gets "Yeah, but." It is TRUE that Embiid could have complicated those buckets but it is still a shame.
Same with the "bubble team." EVERY team that made the playoffs in 2019/20 had one venue to play in, Disney World. The "Heat" bubbled up to the Finals. "Yeah, but." It is true that the bubble was made for the "Heat" and vice versa, that other teams didn't thrive as we did, but talk about a level playing field! Jesus. The "Heat" play the hand their dealt, what are they supposed to do hold Bam or Jimmy out since Embiid is hurt? "No, we'll just 'yeah, but' ya." It's a shame.
