Each Heat member (Cole, Wade, LeBron, Chalmers) could guard Lin 1-on-1.
Unlike the Lakers (Fisher, Blake, Bryant). They're old, and their defense sucks.

i know i'm a little late but just my two cents...

kobe's one of the best lockdown defender. if he was assigned the role...i think he would definitely shut lin down.

playoffs coming

spurs best in west

lakers play as they should can make noise

Lakers just got stomped.

Liking the playoffs so far.

Clippers out. Lakers out. Miami looking beatable. Spurs looking like the favorites.

OKC Thunder in the Finals!! Which team is next...Celtics or Heat?

Either way it makes for a great Finals storyline:

Thunder vs. Celtics
The old guard (Celtics) against the young guns (Thunder)

Thunder vs. Heat
The proper way to build a team (Thunder) against the wrong way (Heat)

Either way I'm taking OKC in 6.

OKC matches up well with either team.

Lakers reloaded with DH12, Steve Nash, Jamison and Meeks

Heat picked up two shooters(Allen/Lewis)

Clippers got Grant Hill/Lamar Odom/Matt Barnes

Season starts Oct. 30

I know it's just preseason, but the Jazz picked up some nice wins over OKC and LA. 13

thunder trade james harden for kelvin martin

incredible

lakers can play better

0-2 lakers geez

Jazz killed it last night.

Lakers suck right now.

But they'll get better. Still probably WCF faves.

lakers won last nite

good showing

and they will get better

lakers fire mike and phil might b returning

and lakers won big

Hope we get Phil in time for Wednesday.

Kobe's been our best player thus far(not surprised in the slightest). Dwight has been decent, Nash is a big loss, and Gasol has been horrible.

Seriously, I don't understand what my fellow Laker fans or NBA fans in that case see in Pau. He's garbage.

i have always hoped for pau to redeem himself ever since phil popped em during the dallas fiasco

he's talented, but shouldn't b shooting jumpers every time

5-18 last game aggressive but has to make his shots

trading em for josh smith won't happen phil and kobe want pau as a laker

Pau hasn't been good for a whole season since 07-08. He's taken advantage of certain matchups in certain playoff series' across the years but for the most part; garbage.

toughness has always been questioned

since andrew got hurt was when pau played his best

offense changed last two years and hurt his game

phil can get em back to the basket and that will b a blessing

no phil 🤨

hire d'antoni instead

hope it works

They ****ed this up royally. I'm pissed that Mitch let me down. He's put in so much positive work lately besides the Mike Brown hire.

Not that I'm buying any of these decisions were his. This sounds like some more Jim Buss ****ery.

I don't understand it. Better fit? There's no way you can rationalize this shit. Jackson apparently didn't even ask for traveling or management perks.

Kobe has to be thinking they ****ed this up too regardless if he'll publicly admit or not.
