<p>Well, so much for all the people who doubted the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers.</a> Frank Vogel’s</strong> team proved that they’re for real with a huge statement win over the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Miami Heat</strong></a>, dominating them for most of Game 1 of the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Finals</strong> even when they were at full strength.</p>
<p>The Heat jumped to a big lead early in the first quarter but once the Lakers tied it up a couple of minutes later, it all went south for <strong>Erik Spoelstra’s</strong> side, which also lost a couple of soldiers due to injury.</p>
<p><strong>Anthony Davis</strong> lived upto the expectations and proved again that trading the young players for him was worth it, scoring a game-high 34 points with 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks on 11/21 shooting and a +/- of 23.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James </strong></a>nearly had a triple-double with 25 points, 13 rebounds, 9 dimes, and 1 steal, while even<strong> Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Danny Green, and Alex Caruso</strong> scored in double-figures. Shockingly, not a single Lakers player had a negative +/-.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The Miami Heat lost <strong>Goran Dragic </strong>– likely for the series – with a torn plantar fascia, while <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong> rolled his ankle badly twice and <strong>Bam Adebayo </strong>hurt the same shoulder that bothered him in the Eastern Conference Finals.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news"> <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/09/29/noticia_0009.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-86">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>That makes this uphill battle almost impossible for the Miami Heat, as they could be without 2 of their top-3 scorers and minute-getters. Needless to say, the internet wasn’t quiet during this purple-and-gold fest <strong>and potential sweep.</strong></p>

Lakers humiliate Heat: Funniest memes and reactions from Game 1 of the NBA Finals

Lakers humiliate Heat: Funniest memes and reactions from Game 1 of the NBA Finals - Bolavip US

<p>The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. The<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Finals </strong>are upon us, with<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James, </a>Anthony Davis, and the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>ready to face off vs.<strong> Jimmy Butler and the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami Heat.</a></strong></p>
<p>Oddsmakers believe the Lakers are huge favorites to<strong> win their<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-rings-teams-with-most-championships-20200929-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 17th title</a> in franchise history </strong>after a somewhat <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/video-the-road-to-the-nba-finals-los-angeles-lakers-20200929-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">easy road to the NBA Finals</a>. However, Miami Heat were also quite dominant <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/the-road-to-the-nba-finals-miami-heat-20200929-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">en route to this stage.</a></p>

However, <strong>Chicago Bulls’ legend Scottie Pippen </strong>doesn’t think they should be favored over Miami, a team that’s about to make its<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/every-nba-finals-in-miami-heat-history-20200929-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 6th appearance in the Finals.</a></p>

<h2>Scottie Pippen Believes The Heat Have The Edge Over The Lakers</h2>
<p><em>“I think it’s going to be a great series. To me, <strong>Miami has a little bit of the edge.</strong> I think people are overlooking how well they’ve played and their style of play,” </em>Scottie Pippen told <strong>Forbes</strong> ahead of the NBA Finals.</p>

<p></p>
<h2>Scottie Pippen Says LeBron James Still Has To Prove He Can Lead On His Own</h2>
<p>Moreover, the 6-time NBA Champion fired quite a hot take, as he claimed that LeBron James – who’s in his 17th year and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/how-many-nba-rings-does-lebron-james-have-20200928-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has won multiple rings</a> already – <strong>still needs to prove that he’s capable of leading on his own:</strong></p>
<p><em>“I give a lot of credit to the way the Lakers have played defensively but I think Miami is ready for the challenge. They have players that are playing with a lot of confidence right now. I don’t take nothing away from the Lakers and LeBron going to his 10th Finals. <strong>He still has to prove he can lead a team himself.</strong> I think Anthony Davis has shown he’s more valuable to them on the offensive end but I think Miami has more offensive weapons they’ll be able to throw at LA,”</em> Pippen concluded.</p>

Heat have an edge over the Lakers in the NBA Finals, reveals Scottie Pippen

Heat have an edge over the Lakers in the NBA Finals, reveals Scottie Pippen - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Miami Heat</strong></a> just did the unthinkable. They beat the odds and became the first 5th seed to ever reach the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> Finals</strong>, once again under <strong>Erik Spoelstra’s</strong> tutelage. Moreover, they did it with huge wins and playing beautiful team basketball, arguably the best in the league.</p>
<p>However, their reward could be considered a punishment, as they’ll have to deal with<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> LeBron James</a>, Anthony Davis,</strong> and the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>on the ultimate best-of-seven series at basketball’s ultimate stage.</p>
<p>Then again, Heat have overcome adversities all year long and have quite a deep, well-focused team that’s clearly not afraid of stepping up vs. anybody on earth, <strong>so we’re definitely going to have a fun series.</strong></p>

<h2>Erik Spoelstra Doesn’t Want To Hear About LeBron James Right Now</h2>
<p>That’s why coach Erik Spoelstra just doesn’t want to hear about LeBron James or the Lakers right now. When asked about the prospect of facing his former player, he shut that narrative down right away <strong>and urged the media to just let him and his players enjoy this huge achievement:</strong></p>

<p><em>“That’s a great storyline. <strong>Can you let us enjoy this for right now.</strong> This is hard to do. It’s hard to get to this point. I want our guys to recognize that and enjoy it,” </em>Spoelstra said after the celebration, according to Heat Nation.</p>
<p>For those who lack context, Erik Spoelstra was LeBron James’ coach <strong>during the best stretch of his career. </strong>Coach Spo moved him to the power forward spot and James – who was on his physical prime – played flawless basketball en route to 4 rings and 2 Finals.</p>

<p>Also, there is reportedly some unfinished business between James, Spoelstra, and <strong>Pat Riley. </strong>James wasn’t fond of Coach Spo and wanted him fired, and Pat told him that it wasn’t his choice to make, which led to The King going back to Cleveland.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Now, Spoelstra – and likely Riley – will have to come up with a plan to stop the man they helped become the best player in the world and if anyone can stop him that’s definitely<strong> two of the greatest basketball masterminds of all time.</strong></p>
