This one's tough to pick. Gasol will be back, but it doesn't seem sure if he'll start this game or come off of the bench to ease back into things. Will Dwight Howard have another monster game? (Ehhh... not sure about that against Bosh, James & Wade.)

I can't trust the Lakers at all right now, and Miami is coming off that big win last night. For LA to win Kobe will have to have a big game, which is very possible.

I know its at home but how the fuck is LA favored?

I thought that was a bit much myself, but I checked twice. Miami hasn't been playing that well of late.

LA home game and Miami played last night and traveled. I say Dwight gets up for this game and LA beats them.

 

[wildturkey]

Yeah, I considered the back to back but I think that's negated considering Miami put GSW away by halftime

expect an all out defensive battle for sure......

Heat up by 4 after the 1st. Will they have the legs to go four quarters though?

Miami was able to rest the Big 3 for entire 4th quarter last night so that should help them keep legs for game tonight.

If LA keeps turning it over like they did in 1st half, this game won't be close

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kobe getting hot...uhh ohh

 

[Smoke]

[Shanemansj13]

That was the difference. The Lakers don't need to even try to make the playoffs this year.
