I only wish someone would call out the stupidity of mda ending the third without Howard in to rebound the free throw. What a dumbass.

Tons of TO and no rebounding.
NOLA right on the ass.
On a Nash+Howard team. Who'd have thought this.
It's just been such a pleasure to watch the Heat, LeBron, and Wade these last few games. One of the biggest reasons I was so glad James finally rose up and took that championship last year was that I knew he'd play even better once all that pressure and weight on his shoulders was lifted. Now that he's playing more care free, more relaxed, it's just so fucking amazing to watch. The efficiency from him in the last 5-6 games is just ridiculous. I'm really savouring every moment of it while it lasts because I'll most likely never get a chance to see a player as incredible or fun to watch, on my home team, every game, for the rest of my life.
Cannot be said enough.

Glad to see Valanciunas back in the starting lineup. He's looking good.

For 3 quarters. Miami adjusted in the 4th and the lakers did not. It stopped working the last 6 mins and it wasn't because Kobe missed good looks or other dudes did.
The turnovers happened because they kept running that same Kobe iso. It's fine to keep doing it when miami plays it the way they did it the first 3 quarters.
I'm not blaming Kobe at all. I'm blaming mda for not adjusting. They had zero counter actions.
His fault for putting Meeks on wade over Clark when bron was out. Can't guard wade with a smaller player.
Even Aaron Gray is cramming it on fools.
I'm glad I got to see Magic, Bird, Jordan, Shaq and now Lebron in their primes. I got to see Kareem at the tail-end of his career too, and a hollow shell of Moses Malone. PEACE.

Resigning Dwight would be a cataclysmic move on the part of the Lakers front office. He's just simply not that good of a player and has mostly been a detriment this year.
Let Houston have him, they'll pine for the privilege of having Asik suiting up for them.

Who saw this coming? I don't think even the most optimistic proponents of the trade thought it would turn out this well. Certainly not anybody in the media anywhere.

Nash and Dwight pnr.
You can also try a Nash Kobe pnr to see if they switch chalmers onto Kobe.
Nash has run the games best offenses all time. Fucking let him do it at times. The offense ran well before Kobe was passing too. You have to show multiple looks.

I dont like these Barg for Boozer rumours. Booz is the better player, but why the hell do we want an (overpaid) big who thrives in the half court when we're a team that wants to run all day?
I agree. And Amir being able to stay on the floor while maintaining his advance stats has helped with losing Davis.
I hope Bargnani continues to play within himself of the bench as a sixth man. Get a backup pg and glue Anderson to the bench and this team looks legit for the first time since forever.
Nash can actually do that
Maybe when Dwight starts setting real screens. Even JVG called him out today
Not against Miami he can't
Unless we fired dantoni now, there's no hope. What's that? It aint happening? Then we ain't sniffing the playoffs.
I did. Gay is a first or 2nd option at worst. Memphis was using him wrong cos they have 2 nice pigs and a good PG.
Boozer's contract scares me too much. But it would make us better but I don't think we should make the trade, especially if Bargnani can accept (and be succesfull in) his new role

I agree on that criticism. Still gotta get Nash going.
It's amazing how few adjustment in game the team makes. Mda runs the same thing even if it doesn't work anymore. I wish Nash would just coach.
The rebounds can't be fixed mostly. They're just a small team now. But Sacre needs to play a bit. These super tiny lineups are stupid.

Tortondo fans shouldn't get too cushy with Gay, you'll get fed up with his ball-stopping inefficientness soon enough

LOL Raps had 10 dunks in the 1st quarter. This is some 2K shit.
If I was playing the Hornets I would just leave Austin Rivers wide open every play, dare them not to pass to him.

Damn, what happened?
It's a little different in Toronto. Here in Memphis he was keeping 2 all stars from getting touches. In Toronto he is keeping players like Aaron Gray from getting the ball.
Edit: Tony Wroten is free!
... lucas and anderson and the floor at the same time is scary. the second lowry steps of the floor they get back in the game lol
john lucas and alan anderson happened lol. lucas is -12 with 2 minutes. dafuq

damn ed davis is getting no burn in memphis? that's a shame
Ridiculous shame. Was finally starting to play well too.
Memphis is just confusing.
And let's talk about something fun and awesome!
How about that new KD5 commercial??
Another random dunking last night.
"Wirey"?
"Kevin, where is your shoe"?
Lionel is slowly starting to play him more. Looks like he he is not quite sure about the defense yet which might be why he is slow to get minutes.damn ed davis is getting no burn in memphis? that's a shame
