Going to be hard to win this one. Lakers never do well vs. a team with a great point guard and throw in LBJ. Not going to be easy. Lakers have won some they should have lost. So this one might be that one we have to let go and go get the next 5 or so in a row.

Nice GT Worthy !..... #2 is chill with me !

We've come a long was since the last time we played the Heat. The keys to this game is real simple, if the Lakers do these things they'll win the game simple as that.

1) Rebound
2) Control Tempo
3) Take Away Their 3 Ball
4) Make them guard our interior

First off we have to rebound, we're the number 1 team in the league in rebounding. Rebounding controls the tempo. The Heat rank 14th in rebounding. No way this team should stay on the boards with us. If Drew and Pau beast out on the boards we control the way this game goes regardless of what Wade and LeBron do.

Also we're 3rd in the league in defensive 3pt field goal percentage. The Heat are dead last, and we tend to shoot the 3 much better at home than on the road. But this is not a shot I want us settling for. I'd rather for us to pound away at their weak middle interior defense. Drew and Pau must finish inside relentlessly all game.

I like where we're at right now, we pissed off a lot of games where we had control. Most of that was due to bench play, erratic rotations and just flat our getting use to our stuff on both sides of the ball. I see a rhythm between our Big 3 that wasn't there last season, and even Metta is changing. He's just playing regardless of how he's shooting. Last night was a perfect example, he missed some then he burst out with a 3 and a lay up. Fact of the matter is he's not hanging his head because he misses a few.

Let's go.......time to ball.

Great GT & Give me 3 & 5 please! Pound the ball down low. Refs let Metta play & we have a real chance of winning.

I predict a Ron Artest Triple Single

If the bigs get into foul trouble this one will turn ugly real quick.

As long as they let him plat defense is all that matters

We need to make it a grind out game 7 vs Boston type game. I like our chances against anyone in those games. The problem is that for a team with an inside advantage over everyone, we always get neutralized by bosh anthony and Haslem, and with Kobe usually neutralizing wade, Lebron just puts them over the top.

That's my point about MWP, we need all 6 fouls not ticky tack ones. The reason Bosh & Anthony usually neutralize us is because we don't make them work enough. We start shooting too many jumpers & get in an up & down game which wears our bigs down

I've never wanted a regular season game so badly before

Don't think we win tomorrow, if I'm being honest. Just never matched up very well with Lebron, unfortunately - He usually torches whoever guards him and scores, as well as feeds to wide open sharp-shooters, who rain three's. Same with Wade.

For some reason, we have always had a size advantage against Lebron-lead teams, but never really seem to have exploited it to its full potential. They will probably double-team Kobe, Gasol and Bynum once they touch the ball, and leave Fisher and Artest completely open. Hopefully, this team proves me wrong tomorrow - We'll just have to see.

And for what it's worth, I hope Bosh plays. I hate putting asterisks on games we won.
