The Heat called timeout then Bron came down and hit a jumper with 3:17 remaining cutting the lead to four. It was a clutch shot, not as much as a game winner but clutch nevertheless.

Yeah. It was an awesome play when they were in dire need of one.

Isn't the stat something like 2/24 in the final 10 seconds of games 3 points or less? Just an amazing statistic.

SC said it's 1/18 last night.

Just amazing.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

LeBron just needs to realize that this team isn't built to maximize what he's gotten accustomed to doing in those situations. Theres a million things you could do with those three given the match up nightmares they can create though, and if they ever get an offensive X and O guy with enough credibility to get these guys to buy in, it's a wrap. Kuester may be available shortly, lol. Until then, Bosh Spice needs to get some Andy V footage on how to roll with Lebron off His majesty's royal high screen...

This humbling is only gonna make Bron better.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

It wont happen this year..it may not happen next..but as much as I detest him, Lebron and the Heat eventually winning a title wont bother me.

I just want him to have to suffer, sacrafice, and bleed for it. you know..like how everyone else before him had to.

I'm convinced that Lebron, Wade, and Bosh thought that this was going to be easy, everyone was going to love them, and they'd be the NBA's traveling rock band, like the 96 Bulls.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I agree with Pared clutch can't be only measured in buzzer beaters. A player misses a few shots and people are already dogging him lol.

I honestly don't think any of this is true. The lack of any kind of rebound/defensive big men and a defensive PG will kill the Heat just about any game. Those good teams that they are 1-forever agains have those elements. Until they get those, they aren't winning anything.

I can't agree here HM.

I genuinely question LBJ's decision making in a lot of these cases. LBJ has always had success going to his right, yet in all these final plays he's going to his left all of a sudden..???

He's not passing off lately to an open shooter who probably has a better look.

He's trying to do the same thing he did to the Pistons only teams are swarming to him now. What's wrong with beating your man and then pulling up for a short jumper? He keeps taking it deep in the paint and taking a more difficult shot. It's just bad decision making. He's not gonna get better if he doesn't stop what he's doing right now. He may hit a few shots in his career like this going forward but the defense is adapting and he has to as well.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Joy of having 29 other teams who will study your every move. Ironically, I want to say that he might be improving his left for in-game situations so he can be more unstoppable. That's good coaching and recognition by those teams that allowed him to feel that going left was the better decision. Questioning his intellect in these type of situations can either improve his skill or make him continually fold to a backyard star past his prime. I'm not a fan of the Heat because of their cockiness which was coated thick throughout the states. I wouldn't be mad if they never win a championship.

I'm curious to know what any of you guys think about them winning a championship before the Cavs? It seems more likely right now that Dan Gilbert might get a chance to have the last laugh. Still years early, but there's always a chance.......

It really is and at this point something has to give. Sooner or later they have to hit a shot.

The decision making is bad, but as is the play calling out of the timeout. The final play of the Chicago game Wade is the inbounder? Why? But fine, the inbounder can be just as dangerous or more than any other player on the floor but the problem is he never gets the ball again. Spo sends him on the wing to just watch. This happens almost every time.

Unless they pull off some Celtic type trades. I don't see them winning a Championship for a long time.

Yup! Teams are certainly doing their homework - but great players get where they want to on the court. Paul Pierce does this ALWAYS. Watch his isolations on the top of the key - he always goes right and does a step back.

Many players have tendencies that when you pay enough attention you can catch just by studying them.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I wanted to defend Spo at the beginning of the season because he needed a chance to prove himself. Clearly, he needs to be canned in order for something to happen. Also saw this on Yahoo! today.

As Heat Lose, James, Wade Fall Apart

Bad title but good article.

Don't want to rustle feathers or anything but Paul went to college right? I think that has a lot to do with his play style, maturity, and all-around basketball intelligence. My $.02.......

I don't think LBJ's maturity has anything to do with college. He was getting hyped by the media and getting all that attention as a kid and obviously that stuff gets into your head.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Its not about maturity.

NBA teams know what other players like to do, what plays other teams run, etc...

The thing is execution, its not about knowing where someone is going. Just because you know Pierce likes that right elbow doesn't mean you're going to stop it.

I saw the Knicks beat MJ to his spot plenty of times but he still found creative ways to score because it was his spot, and other times they just couldn't stop him from getting there at all.

I can know what you want to do but If I dont execute right it doesn't matter what I know.
