Playing Mind Games with our Newest Rival -the Miami HEAT

PrintIt is very clear that the 3 DIVAS LeBron, Wade, and Bosh have created an unholy alliance with sole purpose of de-thorning our beloved Lakers. One thing is for certain- the three of them (especially LeBron) are a bunch of hypersensitive emotionally fragile DIVAS. I think we can- and should take advantage of categorically exploit this weakness.
Hear are some ideas of how to drive the HEAT to the brink of suicide:
The original idea for this post came from my comment on DJ Mbenga's Report Card. After Saurav's encouragement, I decide to flesh this out into a full blown post/conspiracy.
The Lakers could use DJ as part of psychological warfare campaign against the hypersensitive Divas known as the Miami HEAT. When the HEAT come to LA (presumably on 12/25). The Lakers should run out a starting line up of DJ Mbenga, Josh Powell, Luke Walton, Adam Morrison, and Sasha The Machine. (I don’t care if some of those guys aren’t even on the team. They would have to be signed to ten-day contract just for this game!)
Then after the Miami players are introduced the announcer introduces our special starting line up and before each of the players name’s he adds the phrase "Two-time NBA Champion". So it would sound like "At Center Two-Time NBA Champion -DJ Mbengaaaaaa!"… The expression on the face of the 3 DIVAS would be priceless.
So after the special "Two-time NBA Champion" starting line-up we can introduce the special coach 3-time NBA Champion Player and 2-time NBA champion coach -Brian Shaw. Phil, Kobe, and Paul can all take the game off because the HEAT are not a worthy opponent for us.
Then we show special video tribute to TEAM USA with highlights from the 2006 World Championships showing LeBron, Wade, and Bosh getting schooled by Greece then proudly standing on the bronze medal stand. This segues to Kobe highlights from the 2008 Olympics and then all of them excepting their Gold Medals- showing them they couldn't be champions without Kobe.
And for good measure we play some hack-a-Bron and every time he goes to the line the fans chant "Who's Your Daddy?" while holding up posters of Delonte West.
Seriously, I think Bron would have an emotional breakdown right there on the court.
We've got to get Dr. Buss to sign off on this (and the anticipated league fines).
What do you guys think?

I'm all for it, my friend
it’s just like a classic Hiruma mind-game strategy. I hope the Lakers do it.
But the backlash we’ll receive by doing the prank would be brutal, which might also affect the Lakers own psyche. Heck, Stern, after ruining his Christmas, might even react irrationally because of anger, that he’ll give out long suspensions to Phil, Kobe, Pau, and the others that would not play, along with fining the organization with a large ammount.
But still, I’m all in, I’ll risk it. The prank would be epic.

Lol the 3 DIVAS
You’re such a diva when you’re hungry…

We don't need mind games to beat the heat
I consider the nuggets more of a threat than the heat…

Lebron doesn’t really care about basketball, so i think this is out of the question

But he does care about his image- and getting shown up
Wojo did a piece on how he felt insulted that Derrick Rose didn’t recruit him so he didn’t choose the Bulls. He’s a big baby he needs to feel loved.
Reminds me of the Seinfled Episode where Kramer got Jerry to wear a fur coat and then started heckling him “O look at me and how beautiful I am. Love me…”

You think the Nuggets > Heat?
Lol. I wouldn’t see the Nuggets as a threat; we’ve beat them before.
I'm going to take my talents to... your mom... Literally every single team that's ever won a championship has done it without LeBron James.
Exactly
I don’t see either team as a huge threat. I rather worry about the nuggets than the heat is what i mean to say

This shit would be funny but
hell no. I would love it better if we simply give them a nice ass whooping blowout or stab them with a Kobe dagger. Plus, the Heat trio aren’t even our rivals yet so let’s stop talking about them as if they did something already.
Kobe, God and I don't tweet. Everyone else does.
Rivals
I don’t mean rivals in the sense that they are our equals I mean rivals in the sense that they are clearly gunning for us and us alone
We can save the ass whooping and Kobe daggers for the finals- if they make it that far

That's pretty hilarious
I LOLed at work.
Well let me welcome everybody to the wild wild west. A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness.
But I see something

You’ll see a silhouette of DJ Mbenga’s left ear- or is it a taco?

Don't each of the teams have to beat each other in order for there to be a rivalry?
I know, I know, I’m just raining on everyone’s parade.

Does the regular season count?
The regular season is where Lebron really shines

Does the regular season ever count?
Chick said the real season begins when the playoffs start.

then Bron wouldn’t be making $15mil

the nba regular season
is just the lakers practice games
Just got one more than Shaq. You can take that to the bank. You know how I am. I don’t forget anything. - KOBE "JELLYBEAN" BRYANT
I think they'll get over it
After they curb stomp our reserves into oblivion. Will be kind of hard for Staples to keep it up during that.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
hahaha
this is SOO funny. but we’d get straight molly whopped if we did this
Kobe: "Listen, if you told me at the beginning of the year that we’ve got two games at home to win a championship, yeah, I’ll take that shit"
I wonder how long they would have the Nazgul play for.
Say the Heat have a 20 point lead by halftime, would they just sit out?
I'm going to take my talents to... your mom... Literally every single team that's ever won a championship has done it without LeBron James.
Yes, but
their non existent bench will blow the lead and make the Nazgul come in again
Lol
Sounds very similar to the Lakers’ situation not too long ago.
I'm going to take my talents to... your mom... Literally every single team that's ever won a championship has done it without LeBron James.
You mean like this past season?
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
Yeah
But I’m hoping that their problems are behind them, that’s why I didn’t say their current situation lol.

Well the Lakers bench did have big games
they were just frustratingly inconsistent
with the Heat, their bench will be bad day in day out
what? You think they can stop us?
DJ throwing down alley opp lobs from Luke and then hanging on the rim and grabbing his crotch at over Chris Bosh! AMMO knocking down corner threes and then firing the six-guns at LePunk! Sasha ripping D-wade then running down the court all alone only to eschew the layup by pulling up for three-and-1!

Really taking the joke just a little too far.

Honestly
Fans are gonna make Delonte West jeers at Bron in every road game…especially in Cleveland

We're a classier fan base than that. We don't have to stoop to their level.
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
Lakers, Lakers... *Sigh*
Another example of a Laker fan using championships as an excuse. LeBron is better than Kobe. Wade is arguably better than Kobe. LeBron got eliminated early because he did not try, I am not sure why, but he did not try. That does not make Kobe better than him. Keep in mind that Kobe did not receive one first place MVP vote and finished behind Kevin Durant.
Though the stunt with Mbenga would be entertaining, the fun would die off once the Heat beat the Lakers.

I'm sorry, don't you have prospects to be scouting?
You are an eternal lottery team, after all…

Im sorry, you're wrong
@ Saurav G-State doesn’t scout prospects -they just make asinine draft picks like picking Udoh (about 10 picks too high) when they’ve drafted a lottery PF in two recent drafts and then signing Lee.
@dubrunCA Just because Lebron won the MVP doesn’t make him better. David Robinson won the MVP in ’95 and then got roasted by Hakeem. No one in their right mind would argue The Adrminal to be better than the Dream
In ’96 Mailman was the MVP over MJ was he better than Michael?
Bob Pettit won the MVP multiple times over Russell is he better?
Hence your point has been totally destroyed.
Thanks

@DreamShake, it doesnt really matter about the whole MVP, it’s just to show that the Heat have two players better than your best one. Lebron always had much less around him than Kobe has had. For example, Kobe had numerous bad shooting games late in the playoffs but the lakers had other people to help and they would win. Now that LeBron has a team around him, he’ll be fine.
"Don't mess with Moses!" -BFitz
Ever heard of such terms like 'Depth'?
Or has watching this perverted version of Don Nelson coaching completely removed all basketball knowledge from your acumen?

thats his style...
I dont agree with it because it doesn’t produce too many wins, but thats how he chooses to run the team.
"Don't mess with Moses!" -BFitz
And Maverick Carter is a better businessman than Warren Buffet
Lebron is not better than Kobe and Wade is nowhere close.
I’m tired of all these ppl complaining about how LeBron didn’t have a team around him. They had the best record in the league for two straight years and where in the Finals in 2007! Did LeBron win 61 last year by himself? And 66 the year before? Lebron averaged 30 points last season and the Caved scored 102/game? Who scored the rest? Ghosts? DJ Mbenga? And if you believe that LeBron willed them to that many victories why couldn’t he carry them to four wins against Boston?
The truth is he had a good team around him, not as good as Kobe’s but good nonetheless and he couldn’t get it done. He knows he’s not as good as Kobe so he teamed up with Wade and Bosh to hopefully have a team good enough to compete with LA.
Make sure to come back next year. Hopefully the Lakers and Heat have met in the Finals by then. If that happens, you can pretty much count on LA trouncing the 3 Divas.

Oh I hope they meet in next years finals. heat will win in 2. haha
Of course LeBron had a supporting cast but it was nowhere close to as good as the Lakers one. If you take out LeBron and Kobe and have the two teams play, the Lakers would kill them, but once you put them both back it’s suddenly much closer because LeBron is that much better. I dont like LeBron, but he is the best in the game today.
Wade had no players around him at all. If they won it was because he went off and scored 40 or something. Plus, Wade and LeBron are much bigger threats than Kobe from a defensive standpoint.
"Don't mess with Moses!" -BFitz
I raise your claims of "much better depth" and give you:
Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chucky Evans, Brian Cook, and Chris Mihm. LeBron’s supporting cast from the 04-05 season to the 06-07 season was way better than Kobe’s. So you can’t say that he’s ALWAYS had more depth. Revisionist history, much?
Don't let the name deceive you, I'm not just a Sharks fan but a Lakers, 49ers, Angels, Giants (and to a lesser extent) Capitals, and Titans fan.

If it doesn't matter don't make it part of your argument.
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
im saying his little mvp comparison doesnt matter
because in those cases it may be true, BUT, if 116 of 123 votes go to LeBron and none of the other 7 went to Kobe, there is no way Kobe is better
"Don't mess with Moses!" -BFitz
That is such bullshit. Sportswriters choose the MVP, not the people who play the game.
Most writers just don’t like Kobe, but that doesn’t mean LeBron was better, just better liked.
Besides, you’re the one who brought up the MVP.
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
im sure people like a lot of players a lot more than LeBron, but it does not mean that they are better. You can say a couple of people could be biased toward LeBron, but not 116. Kobe is not as good as LeBron. I dont like LeBron, but he is the best right now.
"Don't mess with Moses!" -BFitz
You are entitled to your opinion.
