The Miami Heat got blasted in the paint and at the rim in last season’s NBA Finals. Can Meyers Leonard get better?
The Miami Heat were manhandled in the NBA Finals last season. While they gave a very encouraging effort, the Los Angeles Lakers’ size at the rim and in the paint just turned out to be too much.
Now, the Miami Heat didn’t do anything crazy in free agency, such as add a rim or paint protector, but they did get better from within, I would say.
