Official Lakers vs Heat Live at the Staples Center: Thursday 7:30pm TNT

[noblekane]

Gonna be a tough game for the lakers...

I saw the last heat game and they were looking solid.... Haslem is back... Lakers better watch out...

lakers need this game because portland is up next and chances are they will not win that game in portland

 

[dmbrhs]

Heat must have set a record for most nationally televised games in a season by the worst team in the league.

[frenchblue23]

Pau has to come out playing, the Heat don't really have a big man in the middle.

Kobe will go off like he has been, and I expect the bench to play better defense.

LET'S GO LAKERS!!!

NK, I think Haslem is out for this game
Is Vlad back yet?


The line for this game is Lakers -15

 

[jville819]

I finally get to watch the new look Lakers. All you NBA experts on here are the Lakers really now the team to beat in the west with the addition of Pau?

 

[bullsrepeat3peat]

another good game on TNT

but watch this thread somehow turn into a Wade hate fest again

 

[jc08]

yes, yes they are

 

[lalakerfan213]

Go Lakers, but they do not cover.
Every time I say "easy money" while placing a bet, I lose.

The team to beat is still the spurs because no matter what they are the champs. But we are a very good and deep team. I believe we have a great shot tomake to the WCF and beyond. Just depends on how high we finish. If we get home court I think we will have no problem, but I don't want to see a game 7 inSan antonio, PHX, Dallas or NO for that matter.

 

[three6mafia2007]

We should smoke these cats. Only way I see us losing is if miami has a parade at the free throw line. lakers by 15

 

[LOLOMGWTFBBQ]

Let's go LAY-KURZ!

 

[pinoy baller]

GO LAKERS!

I was thinking the Spurs were still the team to beat. We all know they save their best ball for the playoffs. I just have a feeling Kobe wants it more thanany player in the League especially this year knowing this could be one of his best chances to get that 4th ring.

Heat must have set a record for most nationally televised games in a season by the worst team in the league.

NK, I think Haslem is out for this game
Nah, Haslem is back and starting

On to the game......

I expect it to be close for most of the game again, Lakers probably pull away late

I just hope its a good game

Dead on.
I don't care what anyone tells me, the Spurs are the team to beat in the West.
They are experienced, dangerous, and I don't think they've been 100% healthy the entire year.
They have probably the best chemistry in the League because their core group of guys have been together for a while.
Ginobli has been lighting it up this year and they have a top 3 power forward of all time.

The Lakers have probably the easiest schedule remaining in the West, I think they'll finish with the #1 seed.
The Lakers haven't been 100% healthy with the addition of Pau either.
It is going to be very interesting to see how the Lakers perform when Bynum + Ariza make their way back into the line-up.
Barring any more injuries, this roster will play 100% for approx. 2 weeks before the playoffs start.
I don't know if that is enough time, but we'll see.
It's going to be inte
