Wade and LeBron took turns attacking not really opitimizing their athletic abilities on breaks and cuts to the basket (easy points basically) while on the court together.
They made the Finals.
Same for Howard, Nash and Kobe. They were all the offensive focal point of their team before the trades.
It's just going to take some time.
But have fun with another season of mediocrity and playoff absence OP.
pretty much.

It's simple. Kobe is not for good teamwork.

Re: Lakers fans: LOL
One big difference between the Heat and Lakers is team composition.
The Heat had to learn to play with a point-foward, a ball dominant SG, a jump shooting PF and no real center.
The Lakers have a true PG, a dominant center, a PF who perfectly compliments Dwight and a great SG.
The Lakers should be able to click sooner than the Heat.

And who says the Lakers won't? The Heat were 9-8 in their first 17 regular season games. I love overreactions like this.

Welcome to LA S. Nash!

They have shot the ball well, I believe 50% in the first two games. They have other issues right now. They just need to understand their role better and build chemistry amongst each other. You have 2 players who were leaders of their respective teams joining two other stars, it will take time both offensively and defensively. As sloppy as the offense has looked and as stagnant as our ball movement has been for stretches, we are still efficient at scoring. We're just not doing clicking at other facets of the game; even boxing out, or communicating with each other.
I am pleased with our progress tonight, we looked a lot better then we did last night offensively. Our bench just needs to produce man; they really hurt us tonight by allowing Portland to go on that 13-0 run to finish the 3rd.
Live and learn, hopefully Nash is ready to play against the Clips on Friday.

Lakers core is a hell of a lot older also.
And not that I disagree/agree.. but can you explain how Gasol is the perfect compliment next to Dwight?

You are missing a GOOD coach. Someone who knows how to use their players well. Mike Brown is not a good coach but just a cochroach.

The Lakers deserve to be clowned all the time.
The Heat deserved to be clowned at that time because of the way they came together. You don't clown somebody who participated in The Decision? That's like not hating terrorists.

The Heat started 5-4 and then 8-7 and then 9-8. But afterwards they went on a 12 game winning streak. They lost one game to the Mavs and I believe went on another 8 game winning streak.
After that they lost 4 games in a row and then the world began to criticize again. Lakers fans should get used to this, it's what happens when the whole world is watching a team full of proven all-stars.
The main issue for the Lakers is their defense and their turnovers. They are shooting at a high rate, but they've been bad at stopping transition buckets. They've also had trouble stopping lane penetration and so it doesn't matter that you've got the best defensive anchor in the paint. When it's 2 on 1 after the perimeter defender gets beat even Dwight can't consistently stop 2 guys by himself.
They need to tighten up their help rotations and work on their offensive chemistry to limit careless turnovers. Then we'll be able to better judge how well they'll play over the course of the season.

You are a useless poster. LBJ has already won an NBA Finals MVP at 27. He's gonna have more Finals MVP than Kobe before he turns 30.
Good luck to the Lakers. Hahahaha

Because its a team game. You need time to learn the playbook, know your teammates better, etc...
Its a team where 3 of it starters are new and have just played 2 teams together, is normal they havent look good.,,

His mid range game. He doesn't need to play down low to be highly effective, which opens things up for Dwight. Teams have to choose between doubling Dwight and letting Pau go off or playing man and letting Dwight manhandle whoever down low.
