Don't forget to read through the CL Guidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

Beat the Heat and D-Wade! Go Lakers.

Phil said we always lose in Miami...lol

anyway, anything but a win would be unacceptable.

Boo. Testing.

I'm expecting a win. Is Wade going to play in this one?

I'm expecting nothing less than a win. Is Wade going to play or miss this game? I know he's been hit with the injury bug. . .

i'm expecting a loss. the local media is really down on the heat, and they're desperate for a spark. this is their championship. there will actually be fans there, their guys will be energized, and you can bet wade has been dying to stick it to kobe since drilled the game winner in his eye last time. add in that it's a nationally televised game and kobe's been really bad for the past few games, and i think the heat win comfortably.

in order to avoid this, the lakers should feed the post again and again and again. JO's been playing fairly well, but he's not enough to handle both pau and bynum. if the lakers can exploit that, they have a chance.

but again, i have low expectations tonight.

Actually, I believe this should happen EVERY game. You make some good points, abeer3. The game might be tough, but I think the Lakers will pull it off. And if they don't, I'll be

Lakeshow 97

canned heat 94

I have low expectations too....we haven't been playing of late at all.

Kobe's still iffy in terms of rhythm/shooting etc, bigs playing lethargically, defense (outside of Ron spotty), bench won't show up on the road, and Shannon has a banged up thumb.

thats odd, I expect a blowout Kobe wont even play the last 9 Mins.

It'll be months (if not next season) until Kobe shoots that many freethrows again.

sad, but true

Pau has that all night vs the Heat

Why does Bynum think he's a jump shooter??

What is Drew doing out there?

Fish off to a good start

D-Whistle is back.

As soon as Wade got on the fast break, I knew it was going to a foul.

Already wade is shooting his 6th free throw

Kobe was working with Fish on his layups.

M-V-P chants in Miami.

Damn, that's a lot of MVP chants in Miami.

Pip in the house.
