Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'd say this 3 point shooting from us is an anomaly..but they're all coming to us wide open off of great ball movement. Great half from us on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Kobe better heat up next half or we are going to get blown out. We also need to get Bynum more touches, force Miami to double so we can get better looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Do the Lakers always wear these jerseys when they come to Miami? http://oi41.tinypic.com/2wdy4ih.jpg The fact that neither team is wearing white and that the Lakers' jerseys nearly match the color of the paint combine to make the court an odd sight. That being said, I really like these black jerseys. Edited January 20, 2012 by Brooklyn Bound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think that's a new road alternate for us but they just wanted to debut it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nice little run to start the half from the Lakers. Lead should be down to single digits if not for another vintage LeBron transition block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Like the quick timeout by Spo there. Gotta get the tempo up again and gotta keep the intensity on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Lmao, Barnes was so scared of LeBron getting another highlight reel block on him that he completely forgot about Anthony, who got an even better block than the James one earlier. Poor guy.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Gasol looks clueless out there right now. Allowing Bosh to walk right by him (going to his left, no less) on defense, camping out behind the 3 point line on offense and then throwing a pass into an area with two Heat players and no Lakers.  James starting to take over right now. Barnes has no chance of guarding him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 20, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Bynum is trash when you double him, completely takes him out of the game. Two man game between Kobe and Gasol, or else we're done. Mike Brown has to learn how to adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The Lakers look awful on offense... Yup. I know Mike Brown likes to run the '4 out, 1 in' offense but the only way that offense is effective is if you have a stretch 4, which Gasol is not, and a guy who can constantly get into the paint to draw the defense and get open looks for the shooters, which Kobe can't do at this point in his career. There are some very ugly possessions offensively for this team when Kobe isn't feeling it or they can't get Bynum single coverage on the low block, which rarely happens because the book it out on him. Double him and he can't do a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So do we see 3-12 Kobe and sick LeBron in the 4th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well there's our answer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So do we see 3-12 Kobe and sick LeBron in the 4th? You'll see Kobe early in the 4th to try and cut the lead to around 10 or so before the 6 minute mark. If it is still a double digit lead after that point, Brown probably waves the white flag and rests his stars for the Magic tomorrow. LeBron will probably come in when Kobe does to defend him. EDIT: And as I type that both come in, haha.

Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Wow, Curry is a 295 right now. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Curry will get used to our defensive system I'm sure and he'll be better once he really gets into game form. This is definitely an encouraging sign though. He looks alright out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've only seen the 2nd half, but judging by their matchups last season and now this game, the Heat are just an awful matchup for the Lakers. They are quicker, more active, and are good enough on the boards and defensively to not be absued by Kobe/Bynum/Gasol.  If the Lakers want to contend, they NEED a Trevor Ariza type SF or a good, explosive PG. This team just isn't athletic enough to beat some of the elite teams like Miami. Also, Eddy Curry's back! He actually hasn't looked too bad. He looks to be in great shape as well. If he can finish plays off and connect on the occasional post-up, he'll actually be a nice fit for the team at C. Despite Joel Anthony's inability to rebound, the Miami is still an elite rebounding team, so Curry's below average ability on the glass won't be a huge issue. And with a Riley/Spo defense and a lot of defensive talent surrounding him, I don't expect his defense to be exposed too much either. I'm actually starting to think he might have been a decent pickup, and if nothing else will be better than Pittman (or Z/Dampier from last season).

Such a good sign because if we get legit offensive production at the 5...holy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
