How is it the Lakers are only 9 point underdogs in this game? Miami should be favored by 15.

We'll play hard. The offense should have some rhythm due to Jordan playing. I would say the key to beating the Heat would've been to use a post game but Pau is just awful right now. As long as we compete we should be good, but the Heat are the 2 time defending champs....even if it's close they'll find a way to get it done just like they did with the Hawks.

Well home game, so x is slated for 20 points and 60% ft shooting

Here's to hoping that the Heat don't take us seriously and play a lazy game. This is the only way we win. In a weird way the Miami Heat have become the Los Angeles Lakers. Attractive franchise, owner dedicated to winning, amazing GM in Pat Riley, and awesome young coach that relates to his players (Riley at one time).

I hope we kick their ass.

Can't stand that team.

We could lose by 30, Heat kill teams with high pressing game and for a team without a healthy PG that's murder!

So KG is "more" done than Pau? huh.

I don't really want farmer to play vs Miami his first game. No need to have him fighting their traps and pressure by Cole and Chalmers.

Yeah, but at least he's the player with the most minutes played among active players, older than Pau and his defense is not as bad as Pau's...

Lol.....you don't think Jordan has enough handles to evade them ? Years ago I would've been worried about that but this team finally has some speed and athleticsim to counter that. As long as we keep the TO's to the point of where they're not stupid we'll be okay.
