I have actually never hated the Heat, even after what happened.
In fact, I have been a big Heat supporter this entire season, and if the Mavericks do not win the championship, I want it to be the Heat.
Or maybe it's that past performance is no guarantee of future returns?
I guess it's a good thing that the Spurs aren't fielding the same team that they did during those losses to the Lakers then.![]()
Not scared but expect a loss due to the game meaning more to the HEAT ...meant more last time and it means more now.
Sure Lakers can cathc Dallas with a win tonight and Saturday ...but Lakers know there is plenty of time to catch Mavs and even if they lose tonight and Mavs win a victory Saturday puts us in perfect position to catch them before season's end ...
Besides Cavs and heat routinely gave us trouble so why shouldnt the Superfriends?
Only way we win if Kobe and Bynum dominate and Kobe works the ball to to the big men AND ALSO gets some against Wade ...
Last time bynum it was bynum's 2nd game and he only played 15 min. Let's see what happens when we have a 100% bynum. Yes 100% for first time since 07-08 season

By Tim Reynolds
Phil Jackson has another thought on the Miami Heat: He doesn’t like how they play.
Speaking Thursday before his Los Angeles Lakers visited Miami, Jackson likened the way the Heat play to an Xbox video game and said they rely too much on 1-on-1 basketball.
“I’m not a big fan of the style that Miami plays,” Jackson said. “I like to see everybody involved in the game.”
It was just the latest public statement from Jackson on the Heat, a list that includes how their roster was assembled last summer and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra saying Miami had some players “crying” in the locker room after a loss to Chicago earlier this week.
Jackson also questioned Spoelstra’s job security earlier this year, then quickly apologized for that remark.
“He’s doing a good job,” said Jackson, a winner of 11 NBA les as a coach, including the last two with the Lakers. “He’s going to be fine.”
Asked Thursday if he took interest in how Miami was coming together as a team, especially with all the interest in how LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh came together last summer, Jackson paused for a brief moment.
He said he enjoys watching teams like San Antonio and Boston and the styles those teams play.
The Heat? Not so much, especially since there are long stretches where most of Miami’s offense revolves around two or three players at the most, instead of the get-everyone-involved-when-possible approach Jackson prefers.
“I think that’s really important to basketball,” Jackson said. “That’s what I’m trying to preach as a basketball coach, even though we have a guy that dominates the ball in Kobe (Bryant). Their basketball is very much standing with Xbox games or whatever those games are. Basketball’s not a 1-on-1 game. It’s a team game.”
He’s hardly the first to suggest that the Heat rely too heavily on James and Wade, who came into Thursday ranked second and fourth respectively in the league scoring stats.
After that, the Heat offensive consistency has been inconsistency, something Bosh and other Miami players have acknowledged as a problem.
“I don’t really care what people say about us, personally,” Wade said earlier Thursday, a few hours before Jackson spoke.
Miami came into Thursday on a five-game slide. The Lakers started the day as the NBA’s hottest team, winners of eight straight.
Pretty empty arena, bet it fills up by the end of the first quarter.
Juwan Howard first big of the bench, god damn the Heats big man depth is shocking.
Lol lebron shooting a three over fisher ...weak
I can only assume he's in some Antoine Walker type debt. There's no other reason for him to still be in the NBA.
Both teams are pretty money right now, to's are the difference.
LOL Pacific time zone
I don't even care who wins. I just want to see LeBron get on and Kobe have one of his usual shooting nights.
