so original
:rolleyes:
The Heat just seems to be on cruise mode atm. They aren't playing their elite defense like last year. Wade is still unhealthy and looking pretty bad out there. But their bench is better and they still have LeBron.
They should be fine when its all said and done by mid season and playoffs.
[QUOTE=cotdt]Even last year when the Lakers sucked, the Heat had trouble with Lakers front line. They also have trouble with the Clippers and Memphis for the same reasons.
Lakers biggest threat to make it to the Finals are OKC, Spurs, Memphis, Clippers.[/QUOTE]
You've beat us once since we got the big 3. Never has your front line bothered us...
[QUOTE=ac_gold_26]They haven't played good defense but they fix that going into the playoffs. They are the champs been to the finals twice they don't have to prove nothing.[/QUOTE]
Miami is the only team that can turn it up a notch or wut? Coming out of the East is not so impressive.

Who beat the thunder last year? Boston is tougher for us to beat.

You beat the Thunder because the Heat match up against them perfect. Heat took advantage of the Thunder lack of interior offense and their bigs are pretty useless offensivly so their was no way to make da Heat pay. And the reason that Celtics made things a bit interesting is because they attacked ur weak interior defense.
[QUOTE=plowking]You've beat us once since we got the big 3. Never has your front line bothered us...[/QUOTE]
That's because in those games, the Lakers didn't feed the bigs like they were supposed to.
Gasol and Howard is going to make the Heat's small lineup pay.
So much Laker hate in this thread. Priceless.

To be fair, the front line never had Dwight Howard.

Idk. Lakers offense is still pick and roll. Plus they can sag in because the team lacks consistent shooters.

But it had the 2nd best center in Bynum which still kills whatever Miami have on their front court except for Bosh

Howard is waaaaaaaaaaay better than Bynum. Don't listen to the snake oil salesman-Laker fans that tried to tell us otherwise for all those years.

Not gonna lie, I was one of those snake salesmen. Although I never said Bynum was better than Howard. But Howard is a LOT better than Bynum.

[QUOTE=DuMa]$5000 seems like a lost cause at this point.[/QUOTE]
Do you think the Lakers are at their [U]best[/U]? Starting Jamison, Duhon over Gasol and Nash is their [U]best[/U]? :facepalm
Still too early in season
Still too early to say this ain't happening lol?

Honestly, Miami did not impress or scare me tonight. Lakers were careless with the ball, Kobe had an overall horrible night and Howard was highly ineffective. Nash/Pau weren't great either and our bench didn't help out.
I didn't feel like we lost to the champions tonight. They hit some big shots late in the game, yes, but their half-court offense is so ineffective.
Blah, hopefully we play better next time we meet.

Do you know why that is? It was because of the Heat's defense. Wade, Allen, and LeBron played great defense on Kobe. The Heat played the picks to perfection, and played great deny defense against Howard and Gasol. When they did get it, they either strip them or played very physical.
But both teams screwed up. The Heat couldn't score in the half court set early, and couldn't shoot the 3 ball even though they are one of the best. They only shot 15%. Bosh is having a bad stretch too. Wade and LeBron are the ones that killed the Lakers both defensively and offensively.
The Lakers screwed up with their turnovers and had trouble with the Heat's defense. If they kept their turnovers in check, they might've won. But half of the turnovers were due to the Heat's D and the other half was sloopy passes. Lakers played some decent D and Howard really bothered some shots.
If the Lakers find someway to give their big men the ball, then they would win. It's easier said than done with the Heat's defense.
Nice post Micku, I agree to an extent.
Howard had great games against Miami in a Magic uniform and Kobe just played bad. I don't care how good Miami's D is, Kobe was just bad.
It has a lot more to do with our incompetent head coach and injuries then anything. Just look at the 1st half, Lakers played with ZERO chemistry offensively. They looked sloppy with the ball. Kobe tried to feed Howard too much and they turned the ball over because they have little chemistry. Too many injuries, different coaching schemes and poor coaching have every-thing to do with LA significantly under-performing this season.
I just think we need to trade Pau for a couple of shooters to come off the bench. I like Clark, he knows his role and doesn't force the issue. He can spread the floor and is a versatile defender. He brings quickness and athleticism to our starting five. D'Antoni is just a horrible coach who knows one philosophy.

Umm this? The last time Ray Allen played defense was like 2-3 years ago, dude has been a huge defensive liability for the Heat whenever hes on the court.

[QUOTE=Nash]I think D'Antoni joining the Lakers is exactly why Miami will beat Lakers. Had the Lakers not decided for D'Antoni's system and gone big instead they would have caused Miami a lot more problems. But if you're planning on running with Miami you're just playing their game.[/QUOTE]
