Boxscore: http://www.nba.com/games/20080210/LALMIA/boxscore.html

Statline: 33 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 10-15 FG, 2-5 3 pt, 11-11 FT, locks down D-WOAT, held to 19 points, 7-17 FG, 9 turnovers

The Miami Heat had traded former star center Shaquille O'neal to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks just days ago. Today was Shawn Marion's debut with the Miami Heat, a game against the much improved Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant. But the center of attention in the game was the matchup between the 2 allstars Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, 2006 Finals MVP.

Early in the game, both players were quiet. Bryant had 5 points on 2-3 shooting and Wade had 2 points on 1-6 shooting. It wasn't the same way in the 2nd half. Turning his game on in the 2nd half, Bryant shot 6-10 with an aggressive mindset while shutting down Wade at the other end. Wade continued to struggle putting up 9 turnovers. He also had an airball, was dropped by Sasha Vujacic, and was outmatched by Bryant's lockdown defense which was at it's finest at the end of the 3rd quarter. Bryant frustrated Wade to the point he commited a hard foul on Bryant on a fastbreak dunk attempt. He committed a hard foul that could have and should have been a flagrant foul had it been another player and not Wade. It was a foul that also could have been a suspension.

Even the preferential treatment of Dwyane Wade was no match for Kobe Bryant's dominance. Examples of preferential treatment is the first foul on Bryant, a fly by on a three point attempt by Wade, and a foul on Lamar Odom on an attempted layup by Wade. Despite several other attempts by the refs to bring Miami back into the game, the Lakers prevailed and enjoyed a 104-94 victory over the Miami Heat who fell to 9-40. The Los Angeles Lakers improved to 33-17 and 3-1 with Pau Gasol.

  • Kobe is good, but ...

    Kobe is good, but he can be extremely self-centered during the game. Yeah Kobe is plays pretty well individually, however, Dwayne Wade has a team working ability better than Kobe ever could.

  • If you don't ...

    If you don't understand how Wade S**ks ... then.. I don't kow what youre watching.

    he has no handle, he gets babied by the ref last year, but guess what happens when they actually call him. HE TRAVELS ALL THE TIME. AND HE CANT HANDLE THE BALL FOR HIS LIFE, SO MANY fancy crossover attempts that he just LOSES the ball, so many times he would go down the lane.. get stuck, and throw the ball away... come on.

  • I would agree ...

    I would agree except for the fact that the heat have the worse record in the league being in the east at that. Kobe led the lakers the past two years to the playoffs with kwame brown as the starting center, smush parker starting pg and luke walton starting sf. Wade has no excuse

    Hey guys not to be a bch but the same team D Wade has this year is the same team KOBE had in 2005-2006 kobe had Odom and Wade has Marion right..and they both have one of the best Coaches of all times.
