Gasol isnt starting. Play hard for 48.

I'll add Earl Clark.

Don't get killed on the boards and we might have a competetive game on our hands.

If we can keep it close for rebounds then we got this. We have played Dwight for years so we know how to treat him. Luckily this time he doesn't have the 3 point shooters.

Gasol will play, but is going to come of the bench. Need to win the battle on the boards, need to get out and run which will wear them out, hopefully Wade comes to play. Hoping Wade can get Kobe in foul trouble or put Allen and Wade at the guards to get on Nash and Kobe. RUN SOME PLAYS FOR RAY!!!

[JNoel]

Wade and Lebron are all-star starters, Bosh is not. No surprise there.

I've been saying this for a while. I hate to see him not utilized properly as we could really use his production, especially in those tough stetches.

Lakers need this game...

Still, I see the Lakers falling flat and losing by 8+. They are not fast enough to run with the Heat. Look at Dwight and see that he still not 100%. Pau Gasol cannot hit a bucket anymore. Steve Nash will have to force a lot of passes tonight because the Heat will be bring their A+ D tonight. Kobe will get his 26 but that's because he will go like 10-32 and knock down a few FTs. I see this being a game early, but the Heat finishing it quick. Plus, the Lakers have no bench. Our bench is immensly better.

He has certainly been playing like a 40 year old, seems he can't take anyone off the dribble

when they show up.

I think this will be a lot closer.

Not with Pringles as the coach. Not with injured Lakers coming back. This team is too old.

If heat don't get out on fast breaks then anyone can run with us.
