All eyes will be on South Beach, as our Los Angeles Lakers visit the Miami Heat in the clubs' first meeting of the season. The Heat come into this game on a roll, after drubbing the Spurs in the 2nd Half on Tuesday night. The Lakers are also coming off a win, courtesy of a clutch three by Derek Fisher. Perhaps D-Fish should present his resume to LBJ. Might be kinda tough for D-Fish to squeeze that into the schedule though, what with checking up on retirement homes and all.
Dwyane Wade looks to be out for tonight's game, which is good news for us. Take some time to rest D-Wade, don't rush things. Then again, perhaps it's best for all of us if you do play. We'll have much more about Lakers-Heat in our Game Preview rolling out later today.
On a different note, some rumors about D-Will, Kareem lands something better than a statue, and Eddy Curry might debut tonight. Wait, what?!

"South Beach"
I am a second generation Lakers fan, born and raised in Miami, over 40 years ago, with relatives in California…let me explain something to you:
The Miami Heat plays in Downtown Miami NOT South Beach !!!
Uh no.
LeBron took his talents to South Beach.
Uhhh...did you watch the decision
If so…I guess Lebron really thinks South Beach encompasses Miami (makes sense because he’s a party boy).
Lakers and Patriots forever.
Lebron def took his talents to South Beach
(And seriously tho, its like 20 min away, not a big deal)

Thank you, Kevin Ding. I've been saying this for-fucking-ever.
People think the key to playing with Bryant is deferring to him or helping set him up. It’s about staying smartly aggressive on your own and being ready to attack when the defense keys on him or he sends the ball your way.

Matt Barnes does. That's why his playing time is increasing.
And Fisher does too but he’s old.
Lakers and Patriots forever.
right on with Barney
Fisher should retire. the last game was a fluke..
THE POWER OF SHAW COMPELS YOU.. THE POWER OF SHAW COMPELS YOU.....
I was just thinking this about Barnes. The crazy thing is that Artest was THAT guy
in 2010. He didn’t wait for Kobe to do something. See game 7 of the Finals. I guess you have to be crazy to play with Kobe. Which reminds me of something else and I wanted to know if anyone has noticed. Kobe yells at every Laker player except two or 3 players. Fisher, Artest and Barnes.
I think that he respects those three but at the same time, Barnes, I think is more out of fear. I think if he tries to scold Barnes Kobe will get chin-checked for sure. I have never seen him say a peep to Barnes when he makes a mistake.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
Cuz Barnes does more good than bad on the court

Yes but KObe never hesitates to make angry gestures at anyone
he does it to everyone. When Barnes makes a mistake, Kobe just turns around and doesn’t do or say shit. But I agree, Barnes hustles too much and he does more good than bad.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
Kobe is angered by laziness most of all as well as a ack of hustle/passion
Barnes is a key hustle player, so even if he is making a mistake, he tried his hardest for that play.
Kobe scared of Barnes? lol

Thats basketball..Kobe isn't afraid of competing with anyone. Thats not what I'm talking about.
but I’m talking in terms of yelling and screaming at him as a team mate. he won’t do it. I’m telling, Ive seen him do it to damn near every player. But watch the next time Barnes makes a mistake and you tell me if Kobe reacts in any way to him.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
i think the right word might be respect and not fear.

I was thinking that to. You might be right. I guess that might be closer
because he is the same with Fisher. But still though, Barnes is fuckin crazy.

If Kobe is willing to fight Shaq to death, I’m pretty sure Kobe wouldn’t be scared Barnes.

Think about those 3 guys, and think about what they do next to Kobe that the guys he yells at don’t. They’re aggressive off the ball and work with him instead of leaving him on am island. There isn’t a single other Lake who is consistently active when Kobe has the ball. If you’re Kobe, of course you yell at people like Pau. As much as we all love Pau there’s tons of times where he just runs to the weak side and stands there. And while he’s the best example, everybody else does it too

Blake knows this and I think McRoberts is getting there. He's been a recipient of some nice passes, even though he hasn't always finished.
The thing is they don’t play with Kobe on the floor that often.

Agreed, completely,
it’s like that denver Playoff series in 09, when Kobe became a facilitator if im not mistaken game 3 or 4, Kobe was the primary ball handler, he’d get the double even tripple team, with slashers, and guys aware he’d pass the ball off and get guys some great opportunities, and it showed as the Lakers completely dismantled the Nuggets
And sadly Karl hasn't learned
He sent the same double in the first game of the b2b we played them

Stern robbed us and the world
With Paul around to do all the ball-handling, Bryant would’ve given up the perimeter even earlier – whether his wrist was right or wrong – and focused on his attack spots closer to the rim. We would’ve seen one of the rare one-two punches in NBA history comprised of a point guard and shooting guard, plus Andrew Bynum blossoming in the middle.

He would solve the great question of

nice to read that about d-will. i’ve always preferred him over chris paul. i’d offer gasol and any young pg on our roster nets want, and a pick for d-will. then trade bynum and whatever else necessary to orlando for dwight.
"They’re a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
i’d also do gasol for rondo—though i think d-will is better overall.

shooting is really important to me
especially when you age and the athleticism that fuels your hustle and court vision starts to fail, you must have the shooting to still keep defenses on their heels. but thats a long term thing, we can return him to the Boston retirement home when he gets old.

In one of the articles from TrueHoop on
the type of defensive play over the last ten years…
“If you go back to — not to disparage them — but Pat Riley’s Knicks. Their defense was predicated on giving that quick shot with the hand,” says Jackson. “You remember a player like Derek Harper. He’d steel arm you, you know? As you started your move toward the basket, he’d give you that little jolt, to allow him to recover and get between the offensive player and the basket.”
The game, Jackson says, had “grinded to a halt” and referees were instructed to free it up by calling things by the book that had been permitted. That, in turn, forced new defensive strategies which involve all kinds of switching and movement. The idea was to have 10 players moving, and it worked.
“There is no question,” says player trainer and ESPN analyst David Thorpe, who watched the changes unfold. “Being an NBA player is far more work now. Tom Thibodeau is the guy who figured out how to take advantage of the new rules. And watch his teams. The minutes now are so much more intense. There is movement all the time, unless you’re guarding isolation, which is rare. And it’s movement towards action. There’s more contact. There’s more mental fatigue. There’s more to do. Ask coaches who were in the league before and after, like Rick Adelman or Pat Riley. They’ll tell you. There’s just so much more to defense these days.”

but really, the point of sharing was to see what people thought if they have watched older defenses and what they think of this deduction

the quote is true.
The game evolves a ton. The pace difference and efficiency difference between the 80s and 90s is staggering. The defenses figured out what the offenses were doing and adjusted, by constantly hand checking. When they took that away defenses adjusted again, with zone defenses and tons of switching and a lot more help defense. Focusing on one and forgetting the other is biased, which is what all the “mj would average 50” people are.

So... Paul Pierce to Lakers?
Sam Amico:
Also, the Lakers reportedly are trying to find a way to land Paul Pierce. Not sure yet, what they are willing to give up. But again, it won’t be an easy deal to make. The Celtics love him, obviously.

On a positive note, He has proven to be clutch, can create his own shot. Only one problem though. The Lakers have a one flopper minimum and that will make Fisher pissed.

True
I love that SOB but only difference is that I don’t give a fuck about talking shit about him when he deserves it. ON 60 mins MJ was asked if he thought he was perfect and he said he wasn’t a perfect human being but that he was a perfect basketball player because even when he made mistakes he corrected them. I loved that response.
Kobe isn’t a perfect human being. But he is a perfect basketball player in every which way. Especially because he wants to perfect his game and he has constantly searched for that perfection.

Paul Pierce would be like that son-in-law that a father wouldn't want marrying his daughter
but ends up marrying him anyway. We would just have to embrace him eventually. Especially if he wins the Lakers a title.

I'm telling you, winning cures everything.
Just like the fanpost from PHil Fan. I personally root for the name on the front of the jersey. Especially if he helps bring a title to LA. fuck all that. I might not buy his jersey but I won’t be hating on him if he wore that purple and gold. Besides, after Shaq signing with the Celtics, that would be awesome payback.

YES!
Weren’t we just calling for a shot-taker other than Kobe? But why Pierce? he’s old and not a ball-handler. I think we should go for Ray Allen if we’re going for a Celtic.
Lakers and Patriots forever.
Ray Allen is also older. Pierce would move Barnes to the bench.......
he would become Kobe’s backup.
This might have something to do with the Pierce thing that ESPN is reporting
Danny Ainge does not want to see another decline in the franchise like the one that happened after the Boston Celtics’ original Big Three dried up, and he’s reportedly willing to break up his current star trio to ensure that.

OH SHIT! Ainge isn't fuckin around. Straight from the horse's mouth
First of all, it’s a different era," Ainge told The Globe. "I sat with Red (Auerbach) during a Christmas party (in the 1990s). Red was talking to Larry, Kevin, and myself and there was a lot of trade discussion at the time, and Red actually shared some of the trade discussions. And I told Red, what are you doing? Why are you waiting?
“He had a chance to trade Larry (to Indiana) for Chuck Person and Herb Williams and (Steve) Stipanovich and he had a chance to trade Kevin (to Dallas) for Detlef Schrempf and Sam Perkins. I was like, ‘Are you kidding?’ I mean, I feel that way now. If I were presented with those kind of deals for our aging veterans, it’s a done deal to continue the success.

Bynum has 777,365 votes compared to DeAndre Jordan’s 214,883. What’s surprising is Rubio has the 3rd most votes for guards!
Bynum deserves an all-star bid.

@rehforlife: how active do u see lakers being around trade deadline?
I think they’re very active. DH-12 situation is still unresolved,..they have the LO trade exception, and they have needs to address.
RT @whatucantsay: What do you think the percentage chances are that the Lakers land DH-12?
The problem is, the way I analyze the situation is apparently different than the way the Magic do. From what I hear of the Magic’s thinking, chances are low.
RT @eLonePB: can you explain what you mean by "Magic’s thinking"?
Not so high on Bynum and not so high on sending another franchise C to LA.
