Sportsguy9695 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Doc Rivers isn’t concerned about the Lakers and their recent acquisitions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard.“Honestly, I don't care about the Lakers,” Rivers said. “My honest thought as a coach right now…I have my eye squarely on Miami. I come up to my players during the year -- they're in the facility now -- I bring up Miami every single day to them. I want them to hate them. I want them to beat them. That's got to be our focus.“I think the Lakers are better,” Rivers continued. “I’m actually not one that thinks they’re way better. The guy they traded, (Andrew) Bynum, we struggled to guard him. Dwight is a great player, but we’ve guarded him pretty well.“Offensively, the Nash part is different. I look at them and wonder how that’s going to work. I hear they’re going to run the Princeton offense, which I want to see the ball move, I want to see Kobe (Bryant) keep moving the ball.

Abro Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 He should only be focused on the Heat, they are in the East Lakers in the West... They have to go through Miami to get to the finals. And yeah Doc has a point, it'll be interesting to see how this works for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsguy9695 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I agree the need to get through Miami before they face the Lakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Bynum for Howard is, yeah, better and not way better. But add that with Nash replacing Sessions, adding Meeks and Jamison? That's adding solid foundation to a big gaping hole in the roster. That's way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
