I put this game at the feet of Phil Jackson. He coached a very bad game.he sat like a bump on a log all day and didn't make any adjustments or complain to refs or anything. He just sat there.

As for the players this was a very lazy effort.

Kobe got outplayed badly by Wade. Wasn't any excuses not fatigue, not the flu just got slow roasted.He just played stupidly and and sluggish.

The rest of the team played a stupid *** game. Cook took dumb shots, Sasha was horrible, farmar tenative, Smush couldn't contain GP, Kwame got bogus fouls and he played tenative, Ronny played energetic then he got caught up taking bad shots, This was terrible.

The thing that angers me most is I thought we were a much smarter team than this.

The Heat looked like a better team. which isn't the case.

The Heat wanted this one more than we did.

Kobe is gonna be steamed and ought to go off on his teammates, no more Mr. Nice Guy this sorta effort shouldn't be tolerated.

Kobe anf Lakers Suck..It looked as if they were told to play like dumbazzes. Anyways, ABC Telecast sucks..this is the worst coverage..looks like cameraman is on pot

Definitely an all around lethargic effort, especially defensively at times. Not that anyone can stop Wade, but the rotations were slow and Kobe didn't fight through the screens at all. Pretty sad. And Kobe picked a great game to have his worst outing of the season.

I want the old Kobe back. Not the Kobe who gets torched most often. I want the Kobe who always outscores his opponents.

Flu or without flu, Kobe always had a tough time covering Wade. What made this game out of reach even more was Kobe's cold streak. Anyway, games like these confirms my belief that the Lakers are not legitimate yet. Top Tiered teams just dont lose habitually to sub 500 teams. As I stated before, LA will go deeper in the playoffs but I just cant see them in the Finals like some fans are proclaiming. One way or another I support them to the end and is anxious to see the the team, whether the individuals making huge progress or just the whole team collectively playing at its potential.


Kobe and Lamar will need a lot of help from these young fellas to advance into the title game and sadly majority are still very young and still has a LOT of things to learn to elevate the teams success into another level.

I know it is bad to wish something bad about someone, but I seriously wish that Sasha gets injured which will put him out for the season.

That might've been the worst game I've seen the Lakers play all year. They did not show up whatsoever, and this now makes it the 3rd Christmas in a row that we lose to the Heat.

Oh well, there's no sense in sitting here and complaining about it. We just need to start getting ready for Orlando on Wednesday and take it from there. We'll worry about the Heat again in January, and I guarantee you won't see the same thing.

Wade is such a baller though, hard to hate on 40 pts 12(?) assts, 4 blk and 4 stls. And Lol @ Miami crowd chanting "Kobe Sucks" on Christmas day. Not to mention the Shaq-Kobe feud was like over a year ago. I hate them so much.

Maybe Lakers should play only the good teams in Western Conference. That way they will win more.

Bartholomew Hunt

Summed up perfectly. Kobe and the Lakers were squashed. I think we're all squashed to. Let's not get caught up in this one game though. We're still 18-10 with a hell of a long season to go. Remember, things didn't come together until the last fifteen games or so the year before. This is a common trait with Phil-led teams. Whipe the vomit off of your Christmas sweaters and get ready to watch the next one.

Whats up with the Trash talker Payton and his Mommy..That really sucks. ABC got nothing better than this to show?

ShowTimeLakers2005

The Game is sold out to Miami. Its a plot to make DWade superstar. people will buy this if they win against Kobe and Lakers. david Stern's Pawns (Refs) are there to pull this off.

Its time for change in NBA management. David Stern should go. Its like handing a gun to mad man.
