the lakers are making all of their jumpers right now (just like every team during this losing streak for the heat). heat just need to stay close and hopefully not choke.
Am I actually hoping the Lakers win? <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nvz_3ddC-MA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Yep, the Heat are that hate-able.
Do anybody notice dat Kobie jack up alotta shots wen he got open teammates? His last two or three in a row was bricks, i think dats why he make so many points all da time
f4p, you may have a point about Big Z. He has some pep in his step and is helping the Heat. Bosh is also playing with more determination and Miller has shown up huge so far. Those 3 are making up for Wade.
I never understood why Spoelstra pulled Z out of the starting lineup (and out of the rotation for a lot of games), because, despite his age and limited mobility, he's still a tough matchup on both ends and really spaces the floor well for the Heat. I'm not shocked to see he has the biggest +/- of any player on the floor. I also think that the Heat could do better going smaller, with both Miller and JJ (who seems to be out of the rotation as well) on the floor with the big 3, LBJ at PF. It's pretty clear these teams are pretty evenly matched. This is the Finals matchup I'd like to see, but both conferences are so tough it's a longshot.
surprising JJ is out of the lineup b/c the heat haven't been making their 3s. but JJ has also been slumping. Z has to be out of the lineup. dampier is better. their problem is not the center position for their losing streak. the problems are: 3pt shooting, and bench production.
