LeBron James and Kobe Bryant ran their mouths while they jogged downcourt, not quite making eye contact during an unpleasant conversation in the closing minutes. "Just asked him what he got for Christmas," James said. Although the two superstars wouldn't reveal what angry words they exchanged, it wasn't tough to pick out a few statements Saturday. While Kobe and the Los Angeles Lakers got a disturbing first look at the Miami Heat, LeBron got the last word at Staples Center yet again. James had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists while hitting a season-high five 3-pointers, and the Heat thrived on the holiday stage in a 96-80 victory. Although both teams called the game a television curiosity rather than a potential NBA Finals preview, it clearly meant something to James, who had his third triple-double with Miami and the 31st of his career. James also outplayed Bryant, who scored 17 points, in his second straight Christmas win in the Lakers' home arena, following last season's victory for LeBron's Cavaliers. read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=301225013
An excellent team builder, love the defense. We need to sit out a few more fourth quarters and watch our minutes. No need to get carried away right now. I'd like to see Wade a bit more rested and to let Chalmers start one day. Also I'd rather have Joel stay in when Chris rests because he's much much better than Juwan Howard and he only plays a few minutes a game. Have him in a frontcourt with Z, Joel can cover power forwards well.
Pau = camel. But don't wait till June HK, you're gonna be disappointed. (thanks to a certain green team)
This is pretty relevant. They are pretty dependent on 'Bron and Wade, so just keep them healthy and fit.
