MIAMI - The Los Angeles Lakers's bus in America Arena on Sunday afternoon arrived and players popped bc out one by one, making their way from the parking dock to the visitor's locker room for the final test of their seven-game road trip against the world champion Miami Heat.
Kobe Bryant was waiting on the bus for close to 15 minutes to all of his teammates got ashore before he finally his entrance into the arena made with a slow, quiet stroll down the hall.
Bryant's Lakers revamped bc this offseason with the acquisition of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard and so often compared to the heat team that came together bc in a similar big bang fashion a few summers ago, was about to find out that they could knew deep inside - they are nowhere near the "super team" that Miami was and is
The last memory was a 107-97 loss to the Heat in a way that is a sad summary of just how ridiculous it is for this Lakers team to associate with championship aspirations.
the heat with three healthy stars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh - smack dab in the middle of their prime. The Lakers's "Big bc 4" of Bryant, Nash, Howard and Pau Gasol is more like three stars hold on for dear life at the tail end of their domination and the other star in his prime, but now looks like a shell of himself after offseason bc back surgery undergone and still fit problems. Even with Bryant's brilliance on offense, his defense is not nearly what it was five years ago. Oh, and Nash missed seven weeks at the beginning of the season with a broken leg and Gasol is out 6-8 weeks with a right foot injury.
After the game, in which LA was outscored 25-16 over the final 8:47 Bryant stood in front of his locker for nearly seven minutes and 10 questions about the state of his team and 11 questions, asking how James is good in some variation. James, the subject of a discussion about the championship this season, the Lakers be.
"I think he figured out his game in terms of what he wants it to be," Bryant said James, who is 32 points scored on 12-of-18 shooting, bc extending its five-game shooting line 55 - 77 (71.4 percent)
The Lakers have not really figured something out. Yes, they have seven of 10 games since the air-it-out meeting in Memphis, but it was the same old list of problems at Miami too many turnovers (eight of their 15 miscues coming in the fourth quarter), not enough depth ( the Heat's reserves led the Lakers 18-12's subs in scoring) and still no rhythm Howard, who finished with 15 points along with nine rebounds and three turnovers on 6-of-9 shooting. bc
Bryant was asked if they need more from Howard, and he replied: "We are of course more could get. He has games where he had 25 points and 17 rebounds, bc and so on. We would like to see more consistent "
. It's hard to call going 4-3 on their Grammy road trip "making progress," the consideration of the team's new way of thinking it needs three out of four games to win in order to make the postseason. Not to mention, bc Gasol out with his torn plantar fascia bc on the trip.
Even if the Lakers do the "this" that D'Antoni referred, what comfort they need in just qualify for the postseason? Would they really have a prayer to make it all the way to the NBA Finals and then potentially dethrone the Heat team that is now 5-1 against the Lakers since coming together in the summer of "The Decision?"
"Going 4-3 on a seven-game road trip for successful losers," said Metta World Peace said. If he is not anywhere near as good a job shooting the ball like he did to be honest - he's just 22-for-82 in his last seven games (26.8 percent) - perhaps they will O 5-2
