, you serious?
Ain't nobody stopping the Heat. Lakers scrubs, Artest is a got, and Kobe is a rapist.
We in that thang!
Serious question. Do you put Artest on Wade? Kobe on Lebron? Vice versa?
Haslem can rough Gasol, Odom is not going to stop Bosh.
Your move

No team can stop both LeBron or Wade. No team can really stop either one. What the Lakers will have to do is hope Artest does a pretty good job containing one and Kobe can do his best to come close to matching the other scoring-wise and that the Laker frontcourt dominates the Heat's frontcourt. Lakers will have to pound it inside, dominate the glass, and get a lot of easy scores inside. If they do that, stopping both Wade and LeBron might not be a complete necessity. It will be tough but Lakers are capable of doing it.
Just don't wet your diapers when the Celtics set your ass.
You ain't getting past the Celtics so this is irrelevant.
Let LeBron and Wade get theirs and shut everyone else down.
Outstanding analysis. Move over Doug Collins
I thought Wade was already injured...
this. let them get theirs. Contain soft ass Bosh. And if the Lakers role players top the Heat's role players, then:
they'll start working on number four ......
Lebron and Wade attack the rim relentlessly trying to get the Lakers bigs in foul trouble and hit open shooters. Make Kobe work on D and play physical D with the Lakers bigs.
Gasol will use the crown of Haslem's head as a rifle sight.
you already know they're (LeBron and Wade) will just throw themselves into our bigs and the automatic whistle will come out - even if they're out of control.
Let's see 'em try that stunt Vs. the Celtics, Ashy. No way, Jose'.
This thread can't be serious. Mitch Kupchak has added multiple quality perimeter defenders to this roster. Off the top of my head, here are the people that will check your "perimeterly oriented" big 3:
LeHype - Artest, Barnes, Kobe, LO
Wade - Kobe, Brown, Barnes, Artest
Bosh - Pau, LO, Rat
Before you even attempt to talk , we were the #1 rebounding team in the playoffs last year and the #1 overall defensive team. If your team can't rebound, you can't run out on the break. Your big 3 are perimeter players with no post game. The funny part about it is your best shooter is your "PF" - who we all know is really a SF. Pau will beast him.
Back to your big 3. The Lakers improved their perimeter defense exponentially. Then we still have swatters behind them just in case one of them get by our perimeter players. The Lakers have quality defensive depth. We even upgraded our PG position. No, Blake is no CP3, but can you name one all-star PG that ever won a ring with a PJ-coached team? Me neither. Yet we are perennially amongst the top 5 in assists per game since PJ took over as HC of the Lakers.
Let's look at the other side of that coin. Wade will have to check Kobe - so he will have on both sides of the court. There will be no breaks whatsoever. Bosh will have to check Pau. Given how Pau destroyed the Celtics (a much tougher defensive team than the Heat) you guys are in trouble. I even expect Ron to take LeHype down on the block now that he is a little more comfortable in the triangle.
Depth is another issue. You guys will have to play your big 3 45 minutes apiece because if they sit, y'all in deep . Mike Miller and House are gunners but they are also matadors. Haslem is tough, but is too short to do any real damage to our frontline.
How about the Lakers bench? Blake will allow our bench players to go into their regular roles. Sasha will only have to catch and shoot. Shannon will catch and finish. LO will do his thang as well. Rat will be in there to put some hard fouls on any of your guys that sneak into the lane.
We have no less than 5 quality players that can go on the block, post up, and do damage: Pau, Bynum, Kobe, LO, and Artest. In the playoffs, you win the game with defense, rebounding, and in the halfcourt. The Lakers dominated in all of those areas and can more than battle your full court spurtability.
I don't see any way that the Heat beat the Lakers. They can't outrun us. we play in the West where teams like the Thunder and the Suns dwell. What do these two teams have in common? They both lost to the champs. I see no reason why the Lakers don't defeat the Heat just the same. If not for Stern, I'd call a sweep, but I'm calling it now: Lakers 4, Heat 2. And that's being generous**.

no one has to stop them they will do this on their lonesome. Wade is way to sensitive and this will lead to the Miami breakdown. For a player to have this kind of insight: " There's going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games" - D. Wade
When I read between the lines this ultimately tells me that Wade won't be able get over his emotions when Lebronze takes the fans "hearts" and he becomes the soul of the team. This is will funny but sad. Wade is reposnsible for the only le the team will ever get which is the one they have but will play 2nd fiddle to Lebron the rest of his career. Wade will meltdown because of this he's too sensitive it's simply inevitable.
When Boston's big 3 got together in 2008 all three of them had their ego's crushed by a decade of losing...they had all accepted lesser roles of deferment. Lebronze has already said he's not deferring.
It's proven that Bosh can't defend quality big men. He simply can't do it. He looks all world with no real big down low. The self implosion will be easier than you think.and man do I have plans to clown the Heat fans...

Brown for dpoyFunny thing is you actually put thought into that post
Nobody can stop Wade when he decides to drive and do that spin stuff allakazam whistles.. if you look at his career, only injuries have ever stopped Wade.
LeBron will be stopped by the only person that has ever stopped LeBron, that is LeBron himself.
And Bosh should probably only worry about stopping other guys, since he has never done that ever.
Let's just hope that the Celtics can act like somebody and put the stopper in the bottle on the Heat.

First of all, I'm serious. Its a legitimate question, how are you guys going to stop Lebron and Wade? Durant and Westbrook gave the Lakers problems last year, how will the Lakers prepare for Wade and Lebron? Barnes is too skinny, Artest is too slow, and Odom is unreliable, they can never check Lebron on their best defensive day. Kobe is a step slower so he's not going to stop Wade either, especially not Shannon Brown or Vujacic.
The Heat does lack size, this much is true, but Bosh, Lebron, Haslem aint chopped liver, thats a formidable frontcourt. Juwan Howard and Ilgauskas are also serviceable. I mean the Lakers have Theo Ratliff to backup Andrew Bynum (assuming he's healthy) for crying out loud, and they are hoping Caracter can give them meanigful minutes when Pau Gasol is gassed out and Lamar Odom is in foul trouble.
Perimeter players always burns the Lakers and the Heat has two of the best at the same time. So, I ask again, whats your move?
The Celtics are yesterday's news, just like the Lakers will be "Oh so 2010"
Wade's numbers in 5 Games agasint Boston last year
33.2 PPG
56.4% FG
40% 3FG
5.6 APG
6.8 RPG
Imagine those numbers again, swallow it, digest and process it in your brain. Now add Lebron James and Chris Bosh in the mix. How does it taste? Yes, thats the flavor of sourgrapes and NBA Finals 2008 bitterness bursting in your mouth at the same time.
Celtics does have tremendous size. Too bad, its dead weight considering its coming from Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal.
It ain't luncheon at the Chuckbox, I assure you.
Simply rely on Bynum's size to create a mismatch. I guess this concludes the mindset of Laker fans.
