If great coaches aren't required to win titles, why did the Lakers sack Mike Brown?
because Mike Brown coaches too much. D'Antoni will allow the players to make more decisions of their own

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.
Re: not sure my Miami Heat can beat these Lakers anymore...
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.

Lakers biggest threat to make it to the Finals are OKC, Spurs, Memphis, Clippers.
You've beat us once since we got the big 3. Never has your front line bothered us...

Miami is the only team that can turn it up a notch or wut? Coming out of the East is not so impressive.

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.
