Game Thread: Heat v Lakers Christmas Day

[trojanfan12]

Lakers fans were really expecting the heat to kill them today? You must not watch a lot of the heat games. The heat doesn't destroy many teams ever. Most Heat games are decided by 15 or less. At the end of the day this isn't the BCS.

I've seen a few Heat games and agree that they don't typically destroy teams. I figured they'd come out pissed about having to play an away game on Christmas (the players didn't sound happy when asked) and look to simultaneously take it out on the Lakers and put on a show.

Whether it was the Heat not taking the game seriously enough, the Lakers bringing their A game or a combination of the 2, I'm just glad it was an entertaining game to watch.

Gotta admit too, I was pretty impressed with that D-Wade off the backboard pass to Lebron who catches it and dunks with his left hand.
