not sure my Miami Heat can beat these Lakers anymore...

[swi7ch]

...especially when D12 and Nash gets healthy and D'Antoni's back.

Sucks, man.

Heat will destroy the Lakers unless D12 gets back to all world form. Even then, having Nash guarding Ray Allen during critical stretches of games is going to the worst.

The Lakers will score alot, but there defense is suspect. If we can score a 108 points, the Heat could score over a 120.

Heat would run the Lakers out of the building.

Heat in 6 at most.

[longhornfan1234]

Howard and Gasol would abuse Miami's front line. Only Memphis and Lakers can beat the Heat in the ship.

[cotdt]

Even last year when the Lakers sucked, the Heat had trouble with Lakers front line. They also have trouble with the Clippers and Memphis for the same reasons.

Lakers biggest threat to make it to the Finals are OKC, Spurs, Memphis, Clippers.

[Nash]

I think D'Antoni joining the Lakers is exactly why Miami will beat Lakers. Had the Lakers not decided for D'Antoni's system and gone big instead they would have caused Miami a lot more problems. But if you're planning on running with Miami you're just playing their game.

Well the Lakers could get lucky and Lebron could disappear in the Finals again...

[JohnnySic]

Except that this finals probably wont happen.

So basically all western playoff teams

BTW i think this lakers are very capable of beating miami right now but miami since big three has absolutely owned lakers.Miami won all 4 games but one in a convincing manner and they didnt have bosh in the last years game that they lost.

Playoffs are several months away. I'll wait to see how the season unfolds before I make serious claims like that. I know last night I jokingly said LAL would run teams out the building, but I'll hold off on claiming that to be my 100% real opinion until the team proves itself against the top dogs.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Nash and D'Antoni are definitely known for leading their teams to the Finals.

For the first time in my life, i think i would support Lakers in such series.
