June 7, 201115 yr FC if you're really comparing the Mavericks defense to the Bulls then this is the only response I'm going to make to you in this thread. 85 against Chicago is way different than 85 against the Mavs. I know the Bulls defense is great. However most teams can at least score 80 against the Bulls no matter how good their defense is. The Pacers and Hawks did about the same if not better scoring against them. So Lebron leading didn't get them any more than what other teams can do against the Bulls. So makes no sense when you say the Heat's offense looks bad now, but say it looks good with Lebron leading it. When we just saw Lebron leading it against the Bulls, and they looked pretty bad offensively, and definitely not good. They were able to do about the same as other teams against them. While with Wade leading the way, they have looked much more in sync on offense. The only time they have looked bad really on offense against the Mavs is that final 6 minute stretch in game 2 agaisnt the Mavs. And guess who was the one who decided to try to lead the offense during that, it was Lebron. The only reason you think the Heat's offense is out of sync is cause Lebron is not the one leading them. If Wade and Lebron switched stats, and the Heat scored the exact same, I doubt we hear you say anything about the offense not looking good. The Heat's offense has been fine, except for that 6 minute stretch in game 2.
June 7, 201115 yr I'll say this about LeBron, not many guys of his stature in the history of the NBA would let DWade do his thing like he has the last two games. You think Jordan let's Wade go nuts and take the glory? No way. Maybe winning is number 1 for him right now, no matter how they get it done. I just wish he was a little more aggressive in this series, but there may be a time for that. As for the MVP, Jordan is the only guy with more than 2 Championships that has been the MVP every single time I believe. The same can be said about both him and Wade this year. They both have done a good job this year at letting the other one do his thing if they are hot. Which I give Lebron credit because he has let Wade do it right now, except for that 6 minute stretch in game 2 when Lebron decided to try to do somethings himself. Which I think he learned from that and let Wade this time do his thing still at the end since he once again had the hot hand.
June 7, 201115 yr People so quickly forget what James did against the Celts and Bulls. He is leading the Heat in almost every important category in the playoffs. He is the best defensive player not named Dwight Howard. Anyone who he guards gets completely shut down. Wade has Jason Kidd guarding him. Of course he should be the vocal point of the offense. If Wade isn;t scoring for the Heat then he is just an above average player. If LeBron isn't scoring, then he is the best player on the floor at every other aspect of the game. Even when Lebron wins, he still can't win. http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?w=1apb7&storyId=6630793&i=FB&topslot=1

June 7, 201115 yr I guess Wade and Dirk should go into acting after the NBA...:lol: They all do it. There is more flopping going on in the NBA than in highschool.
June 7, 201115 yr I will state the obvious, Dallas has to win tonight. I don't think Dallas can afford to go back to Miami with anything less than a 3-2 advantage. Otherwise they'd have to win 3 out of the 4 games in Miami, which isn't happening.
June 7, 201115 yr I cannot stand Rick Reilly but he nailed it here. Make sure you read this Cats. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=6634464
June 7, 201115 yr I cannot stand Rick Reilly but he nailed it here. Make sure you read this Cats. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=6634464 The more I hear this kind of stuff the more I see it. His legacy may be that he can win titles doing everything. This time it is being more of a facilitator, next year it may be him scoring 30 per game, then the next time it may be locking down a forward like Durant or eventually maybe someone like Blake Griffin. Most versatile player since Magic Johnson. Only a PG would play the role LeBron has played in this series. No other star would sacrifice as much as he has scoring-wise in this series. Maybe some of that is shrinking, but at least some of it is trying to do what is best for the team.
June 8, 201115 yr Someon forgot to tell Bosh he's not that good. No. He knows how we feel about him. All he has to do is search tweets with 'Bosh' and he'll find out.
