    I think PJ has made up his mind because the twin tower lineup gives the Lakers such a huge physical advantage. In anticipation of Bynum's return, Odom has even mentioned that he's willing to come off the bench. Props to him for stepping up big so far this season in Bynum's absence.

    Big Z is highly underrated.

    Dude gives them length, and mid range shooting AS a center.

    His defense is really solid too.

    That was a really good pick up.

    it's good for the lakers to get humbled at this point before the playoffs.

    the heat got humbled at the beginning of the year and they learned from it.

    Haha, well I'm not a prophet and there's a reason I don't gamble.

    The Heat do give up plenty of open 3's with their rotations, but they seem to freak people out with how fast they close out. I was really impressed with Bosh, Ilgauskas, and Dampier on the inside. If they can really hold up in the playoffs, they're a lot more solid in the frontcourt than I thought.

    Eh good win by the Heat, and made me hate them a little less for smashing the Lakers. Still don't know whether they can take on the Celtics though

    I doubt it.

    Celtics are the deepest team by far, their top 12 is way stronger than any other teams top 12.

    Too bad the Miami Heat are not the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Now that this Heat team has chemstry and jelled, I'm curious to see how the play the next time they play Boston, and how well they do against the Spurs.

    Looking at the Rockets and Heat schedule, we play the Heat the 2nd game of their back to back, while we get a day to rest before.
