Someone please get Dirk a tissue.

 

:lol: I was thinking the exact same thing.

Wade committed turnover after turnover in that series and shot horribly from the field early in those games. Completely different. LeBron hasn't really struggled in this series, he just hasn't been aggressive. Sure he's had some misses on some jumpers but everyone does.

 

Lebron has struggled, and that is the reason he has not looked as aggresive. It's the same reason why Wade struggled against the Bulls because he was not aggresive, and was settling for things. You may not want to admit it, but its been very similar. And in both cases the other one has known and let the other lead the team. Lebron is not making this unbelieveable sacrifice that we never seen before like you said, because we just seen in the series before with Wade.

 

Which by the way we seen in the Boston series, that both Wade and Lebron can be aggresive in the same game. The only reason we are not in this series is because Lebron has either struggled, or is choking a little at the biggest stage and not playing like he can. Its one or the other, which I don't think its him choking. He just knows right now he doesn't have it.

Wade misses a huge free throw and blows the last possession. If he wasn't literally carrying the team this series I would be letting him have it.

 

That is true, that was a huge miss at the line, and then messing up that last pass. He has played great, but needs to do better there.

 

Also where did the Heats hands in general go in the 4th, they all struggled catching the ball.

I'll stick by what I said earlier. Miami is much better when LeBron is aggressive. Doesn't have to be the shot-maker, but he has to do more. He has to be the guy leading the offense IMO.

 

You are correct that Lebron has to be aggressive, and that Miami is better when he is aggressive. However they are just as good with Wade leading it too, just imagine how much better they be with Wade leading it if Lebron could learn to be aggresive still even when Wade is going. They lost the game tonight with turnovers, and it was lazy turnovers. It was just guys not being able to hold on to passes that killed them. Miami is at their best when both Wade and Lebron are aggressive like they were against Boston. They are just as good offensively with either one of them leading it, but even better when the other guy can be aggresive too.

So what's the LeBron excuse tonight?

 

He's not even close to the best player on his own team at this point!

We get it. Dirk was sick. It isn't that big of deal. He played his worst game of the playoffs and his team showed up to give him help. Sure he made the game winning basket. Again. He still shot 6-19 and missed a free throw. LBJ was sick game 3 and it didn't get this much hype. Or overhype. For this to be mentioned in the same breath as The Flu Game is absurd.

Anybody see the LBJ press conference? I fell asleep. Can't wait to see what he had to say about last night. Unacceptable.

Same here I couldn't wait that long.

I caught it. Nothing spectacular. Lamented his terrible shooting night. He was dressed in a green suit coat and black tie that made him look like a TV variety host from 1968... so that was interesting.

 

But it's funny: with only 8 points, there's no way we can characterize it as anything other than a lackluster playoff performance. But with 9 rebounds and 7 assists, it's stunning how close this "bad game" was to a triple-double.

FC let's just stop okay. All I'm going to say is that if LeBron has 30 the Heat do not lose. You know it and I know it.

Yeah, the irony is striking. He has a Jason Kidd stat line and it is a bad game. And it was.

After thinking about it this morning, that was most pathetic effort I've ever seen. Miami would gladly have taken the LeBron from the end of 2010's Celtics series last night. They would have gladly took Rookie LeBron, or even SVSM LeBron. Heck they would have gladly taken that stupid puppet LeBron.

 

Has this dude driven to the basket all series? Maybe he is worn out, I don't know. But, last night was the most pathetic effort I've ever seen from any player in any sport. Deferring to DWade and Bosh because they were on is one thing, but not being aggressive when the best teammate on the floor is Mike Miller is inexcusable.

My team would beat your team.

Tell us how you really feel Cats. :lol:

I will always call it like I see it. I"m not the fan that is a see-no-evil kind of guy. There is no defense for last night.
