The only encouraging loss of the season. Kobe missed a bunch of easy shots; Cantoni playing him too many minutes, in my opinion. Too many turnovers, like usual, but with Nash making some really dumb passes.

This team isn't making the playoffs, but I'm excited for next season, when practically every contract on the team expires.

I think they'll make the playoffs - but after watching that heat D in the last couple minutes I think they need to move Pau

If I hear the term "encouraging loss" one more time I'm going postal.

Just kidding. As someone said above, Miami's D in the last three minutes was incredibly impressive. Shut-down, period.

Miami's D in the last 3 minutes is why we need to move Pau - we needed better spacing and more movement - they just punched us in the nose

I don't understand why we're trying to force it to Dwight so much. I know he needs touches but let it come in the flow of the game and stop turning it over.

Changes need to happen. Get pau out of here and start winning games please.

There are no such things as encouraging losses when you are 5 games under .500 at this point in the season. I also dont really understand how this could be one anyway. Our offense had no solution for Miami's defense and our defense could not keep them out of the paint. This was not a good game for Miami, and we still didnt even at our home.

Kobe played like crap and the team had 20 turnovers at halftime, and yet they were leading by one point. Most of the game, Lakers were within four points. That is incredibly encouraging.

Lakers played a bad game and still hung around.
