Lakers at Heat 2/10/13

I'm surprised oddsmakers have the Heat favored by only 7.5 points. 

I want to go 99-97 Lakers but don't think LA will score 99 points.

LAKERS----------95


Heat-----------94

Lakers   93


Heat  92


Right, just not picking against the LakersThis is a loss.     

the line's only 7.5 because Lebron, Wade and Bosh are all injured. Just kidding.

Nice first quarter.   Do three more.   Kobe 5 assists.

Why don't the Lakers just go ahead and hire JVG already? D'Antoni is a walking dead man, the players dont respect him at all, and Phil's headed to Seattle, folks. Enter JVG, at some point at least.

I would like them to have JVG also.  And they would have better defensive direction.

Lebron is going to try to get off in the third quarter.  They need to get another foul on him early.  lakers need to get more rebounds.

Mamba doing it on offense and defense. He does a spin move in mid air to the basket with foul shot on the Turd Man. And he pick James' pocket for the fast break dish into the basket. Yeah!!!

I like how the Lakers are keeping it close, Miami looks frustrated at times.

If they don't atleast try Clark on Lebron......I've been yelling this on twitter since the ball tipped off.  Lebron is gonna get his no matter but Clark is just a better fit to atleast not give up an express way to the lane on a consistent basis

It depends how they need to play Lebron and if Howard is in the game.  If Howard is inthe game, then Metta is probably better because is less likely to make the run for the basket and Metta can muscle him and play him close.  When Howard is out, Clark is probably better since he's quicker and can more likely play off Howard and keep up if he makes a move for the basket.  Problem is, when Howard is out, Clark is usally the tallest guy on the court for the Lakers if D'Antoni is not in and the Lakers would size match-ups even with Miami, in that case.

Team's strategy against Dwight: hack him when he gets two feet within the basket, and whenever he brings the ball down to his waist, just strip him. He has to pick it up on offense. He's at least getting better on the defensive end though.

RE: LeBron, I forgot to mention yesterday that he travels nearly every time he touches the ball. Magic didn't.

*Teams' strategy

Even then Davwy, he's likely to just drive by and kick it to the open guy. Clark shadowed himfairly well just a few minutes ago

Clark just blew that last one, caught in no man's land.
