Miami Heat @ LA Lakers- 3/4 @ 3:30 PM EST (ABC)

[WD]

Obviously the Lakers have size and we need to beat a team like that if we want a ring this year. OKC, Chicago were all watching. What happened we played their game and tried to withstand their advantages instead of exploiting ours. If that is not a game where you play some of our bigs then I dont know what is. James Jones DNP? Joel Anthony 34 mins a game? Is that a recipe for success I dont think so I dont care who you are playing.

And on the same note if Curry is not ready enough for 5 minutes a game at this point in the season then he will never be ready. He seriously cant run up and down the floor for 5 minutes with Wade and Lebron? 5 minutes?? then cut him now and dont bring in anymore vet projects. I dont think we commit enough to changes and giving any changes a legitimate chance. Thats why we dont get the free agent signings, they know the deal.

Lebron and Wade should never lose to the Lakers... not when they are on the same team. Kobe was phenomenal ill give him that (and trust he has alot of bad games, that wasnt one of them). We played timid, scared, paniced and with a defeatist attitude. It showed and we lost the game. We'd rather play and gush about all of the things LBJ can do than give Curry 5-10 minutes on the floor to "PLAY HIS GAME" I wouldn't even ask Curry to do NOTHING but protect the paint. All of the those passes we tried to dump down to JOEL yesterday could have been dumped down to CURRY.

FINALLY, my biggest issue is and will always be (using CURRY AS AN EXAMPLE) if he played for anyone else, he'd get minutes against us and cause us problems. Players get minutes here based on how quickly they can adapt to "THE HEAT WAY".

Again, the weakest link when our transition offense is NOT WORKING IS?

We dont need Rasheed Wallace, we dont need any new players we need to change the way we play.

this, all of this - the weakest link when our transition game is not working is?

You didn't say "if we don't get the 1st seed" anyway not excited or upset, just responding to your post - so we don't need to concern ourselves with chicago because of what we did last year? OK, you win - serious about that LP thing though.

Well now i'm saying we don't need the 1st seed. it's pretty obvious that everyone here is looking at the standings. it seems like positioning means more to people in the regular season than the postseason itself. as long as we wind up as a top 3 seed, i'm good with that. we don't need to battle every game like it's the playoffs and risk injury just to get the 1st seed. that's all I meant.

As far as the Bulls go, what exactly have they shown you to make you believe that they are a threat to knock us off? because they acquired Rip Hamilton? sorry buddy, I don't know what to tell you because i'm not sweating that team.

I wasn't responding to the BULLS comment, but the fact that you mentioned the unimportance of the regular season. I got what you meant in general, I just made a basic comment...
