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.

Straight up, book mark this page. Since July I've said the Lakers at their best are BY FAR the best and most complete team in this league. If they are healthy come June, I believe they will annihilate everyone Miami included.

Cocky much?
Watch and see boys.

$5000 seems like a lost cause at this point.

Lakers biggest threat to make it to the Finals are OKC, Spurs, Memphis, Clippers.

Except Bynum > Howard

Do you think the Lakers are at their best? Starting Jamison, Duhon over Gasol and Nash is their best?

Still too early in season

Still too early to say this ain't happening lol?

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.
