Channing Frye Predicts LeBron James Will Come Out Strong And Score 60 Points In Game 4

Countless of NBA fans were calling for a sweep following the Los Angeles Lakers’ domination in the first two games of their Finals series against the injury-plagued Miami Heat. The Lakers however were caught off-guard after Jimmy Butler poured a 40-point triple-double game to steal Game 3.

Another win for the Heat would even things up and may potentially put the Lakers in a tough situation, possibly losing the upper-hand in the series. But that being said, Channing Frye, who has seen LeBron James dominate in the Finals first-hand, is placing his bet on his former teammate LeBron James and predicted that he will drop 60 points in Game 4.

“Listen, I expect him to come out and try to score 60. If that was me, if I was on the team, I’d be like ‘Bron, you have to give us 20 in this first half, you have to be aggressive. you have to take advantage of the offensive opportunities. You have to seek out their worst defenders and put pressure on them.’ When you allow the Miami Heat to play all the players that they want with their substitution patterns, Coach Spo is going to eat you up.

But if you constantly go at Duncan Robinson and Nunn and Herro, some of the Rookies, you have to get them to double team the ball so that your shooters can take open, calm shots. You can’t take contested three, they’re just not built like that.”
