Eastern finals preview

Spurs win a forward to pair with Zach Collins, Mark Jackson's Nuggets

MIAMI HEAT

C: Bam Adebayo — Boston has length and smarts and hops and Bam has the touch and insight to destroy all of it. This could be Bam’s series, or Adebayo could fade somewhere inside all those arms.
PF: Kevin Love — a matchup worth exploring against Boston’s size, Love doesn’t have to shoot but his spacing could mess with some heads.
F: Max Strus — 15 a game while splooshing only 36 percent from deep against the Knicks. Not entirely sure how Strus keeps his legs up against his Celtic assignments.
G/F: Jimmy Butler — not the same since the ankle injury, which is the only thing preventing Miami’s sweep over Boston.
