Go At LeBron James
It’s no secret, LeBron James has been carrying the Miami Heat throughout the season, leading the team in scoring, assists, steals, and rebounds. The NBA All-Star is a machine. Is there anything he can’t do? But at this point of the season, he might be running out of gas. Production from the rest of his team will make or break the Heat, especially playing against such a fundamentally sound squad as the Spurs.
If the Spurs go straight at LeBron (maybe get him into foul trouble) with Kawhi Leonard playing tight defense and force the rest of the team to beat them on the perimeter, they have a better chance of winning. Of course, we know what Dwyane Wade can do on the floor when he’s on his game. Bosh isn’t part of the “Big 3” for no reason either when he’s on, but the verdict is up for the rest of the Heat players.
Can Norris Cole have another breakout game? Will Chris “Birdman” Anderson make a significance difference down low? If LBJ has to carry the load for 7 games, the chances of the Heat pulling off the 3-peat are looking dim.
