This is supposed to be the year that LaBron, Dwayne, and Tim put their Championship plan in motion in Miami, and so far, it’s an effective one, or is it that the Heat are playing a depleted New York team with no Amare Stoudamire.

The Lakers hold a 2-1 advantage with Game 4 coming up Sunday at Denver.
