Open Floor: SI's NBA Show

Ben Golliver and Michael Pina recap the exciting end to the conference finals and preview the upcoming NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. Did LeBron James reclaim his spot as basketball's best player with his Game 5 takeover? Did he really beat the Nuggets with his mind? Will the Lakers have the same advantages against Miami that they had against Denver? Then, Ben and Michael shift gears to analyze how the Heat won the East and what went wrong for the Boston Celtics . Was this the first major loss of Brad Stevens's career? Why did Jayson Tatum struggle so much to impact late-game situations? Where will the Celtics' expectations be set for next year? How did Bam Adebayo so thoroughly eviscerate Boston? Who else can do what Adebayo did in the fourth quarter and is he the ideal match-up for Anthony Davis? Do the underdog Heat have a chance to pull the upset on the Lakers? Will Michael really pick against LeBron James four series in a row?
