If the Miami Heat get smoked in the NBA Finals, it could be good for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Things didn’t start well for the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Not only did they get completely destroyed by the Los Angeles Lakers in game one, but Goran Dragic is likely out for the season and Jimmy Butler tweaked his ankle. The Heat’s bad luck could end up being good for the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Heat made the Finals unexpectedly, as they are a young team built around Jimmy Butler and a bunch of rookies and younger players.
