00:00All right, maybe the same thing could be said for the Miami Heat.
00:02We know they're playing undermanned and have had to do a lot just to get to this point, Gilbert.
00:06Naturally, the game was close until Cleveland pulled away in the end with Spider Mitchell going off there.
00:12And 121 to 100 was the final.
00:14I mean, I guess you could consider this being a closer game.
00:16But, you know, this is the kind of game, Gilbert, sort of emblematic of the Heat season.
00:22It seems like they're in every game and even have leads in games late but don't close things out in the fourth.
00:28I know it's a lot to ask for Miami to beat Cleveland in a seven-game series.
00:32But do you think that they could steal a game or two?
00:35I could see them maybe stealing one game.
00:37And again, similarly to what I said with that Magic series, something down in Florida getting a win at home in front of your home fans.
00:43But when you watch a game like this, it's a reminder of the subtle differences that make a big difference over time between the number one seed and the number 10 seed who actually won the eight seed in the play-in tournament.
00:54When guys like Ty Jerome were able to come in his playoff debut to score 28 points in that game, the Cavaliers just have much more to offer in their arsenal.
01:03And they could be more relentless.
01:05The Heat, obviously, with Tyler Hero, Bam Adebayo, Kel-El Ware, has had big moments throughout the postseason.
01:09And guys like that who have played well in the postseason, we've seen Hero and Adebayo in the finals.
01:15But ultimately, they just don't have enough to keep up with the Cavaliers.
01:19And I think that's going to be the story of this series because the Cavs really do go 8, 9, 10 deep.
01:24And they're capable of having a lot of guys.
01:26DeAndre Hunter didn't even score yesterday.
01:27And they're still able to win the way they did.
