I will say, we should of done a much better job of building the lead we had and maintaining it. We lost the lead, gave the Heat way too many chances to get back into it and they did. I'm just glad we got the greatest basketball player on the planet to finish the game for us.

Wade had way too many easy buckets off of those damn screens by Chalmers. Fisher (yes, not the team, but Fisher) needs to fix that, pronto. Wade is too fast for Kobe to push out of that screen and catch him in time, so it's Fisher's job to tail Chalmers until the screen, then jump to Wade before he gets in the paint and at least contest a jumper.

 

Good game by the Heat and Wade, great game and shot by Kobe (and Fisher's three), good game by a handful of Lakers. We have things to fix before we win another championship, just as the other contenders.

That Kobe list you posted doesn't include free throws, but Jordan's list does.

 

If frees are included, Kobe surpassed Michael already.

 

If not, you gotta recount MJ's list, and he ends up with only 20, Kobe with 23 or 24.

I actually don't rub in victories. I'm more concerned about the Heat screening Kobe off Wade every play down the stretch, and Fisher not doing anything about it.

 

I'm starting to think that, even though Derek hit that big shot, he's about ready for the bench. He wouldn't have had to hit a big three if he had at least tried to follow Wade out of that screen.

I was kidding, just to be clear.

 

BTW, I liked what Spoe did with the rotations today. He recognized that Arroyo and Cook haven't been playing well and he benched them both. Despite missing a couple easy dunks, Dorell played well out there today. He's been getting better and better the past few games like he did a couple years ago when he started averaging 16 point and 8 rebounds for 5 games straight before injury.

 

I am a bit disappointed with the loss, but I'm happy with the way the Heat rebounded from their loss last night, how they managed to compete with a great team like this, and how they are beginning to move forward as a team. Everyone is starting to figure themselves out on the court. It won't be too long before the Heat make a break through :)

Well lets hope that it is sometime this season because if it is not I think it is going to be hard keeping him around during the off season.

I don't. We're almost guaranteed at signing one big name if not 2 very good guys.

 

I really think this team could do a lot with Wade as our PG. He passes the ball so well and makes so much happen at the top of the key off those screens. It'd be a tall lineup but Chalmers is too much of a liability right now.

I think the break through is happening right about now, actually. The Heat could be on their way to a long winning streak starting with their game at Sacramento, actually. No guarantees, I'm not completely certain or confident about it.
