What if LeBron tells Wade to shut his whiny selfish mouth and has a monster game?
As if a triple double wasn't good enough.
LeBron's suffocating D on Parker in the 4th. What if they do this more often?
No one else capable of keeping up with LeBron other than Kawhi. What if Kawhi gets into foul trouble and LeBron chooses to exploit his matchup with Green more?
Pretty much it for now.

Amazing, a team loses and the solution is: Ask more from the guy that had a triple double.
Sorry, must have missed it. I didn't see any "suffocating D" from LeBron on Tony in the fourth.
He did defend Parker very well. Let's be honest, he blanketed him on nearly 3 straight clutch time possessions. Tony just hit God-like shots when he took them.
my thoughts exactly.
Lebron certainly doesn't bear sole responsibility for the loss, but he was far too passive on offense regardless of the defensive scheme against him. The Heat need him to look for his shot more.
Uhh surely you can't be serious?
It doesn't matter what LeFraud does. It never has. 1 guy is NOT going to beat the Spurs
Play great defense on all the other guys and you will be just fine.
The pressure is squarely on the CHeat tonight. This is almost a must win for them. The Spurs should just play loose tonight
and hopefully get their outside shooting touch back.
Tony had 10 points in the 4th....that's not suffocating defense. And Spoelstra would be dumb to consistently put Lebron on TP, TP would just keep finding shooters or Duncan would get a 30/20 next game.
If LeFraud guards Tony like he did last night, our whole offense will stink and depend on Tony getting off lucky shots like the last one he made last night.
I'm 100% okay with Miami asking Lebron to chase Tony Parker around on top of the burden Lebron already has of being the entire Miami offense.
If Lebron guards Parker the whole game (highly doubtful), Kawhi and Green better be ready to hit those 3s
IF LBJ tries to guard Tony for an entire game like he did last night in the fourth, LBJ will be dead on his feet by the fourth quarter. Even LBJ said last night that he was gassed by the fourth. Tony moves so much on offense without the ball that anyone who guards has to follow him all over the place. No, Miami's best bet against us is not putting LBJ onTony much earlier on D, it is making LBJ attack the rim all night, forcing refs to give him calls, and making so many free throws that we can't catch up because our bigs have fouled out and Miami can run a layup drill for the rest of the game.
Tony was very patient last night, and ran the game plan that Pop put in place. The result during the game was that some posters were saying he had "disappeared", or hadn't showed up to play. He and Pop saw what the Heat were doing and they reacted accordingly.
We are not going to win every game in this series. You don't imagine that do you? If not, then we all accept that there will be games when the Heat beat us

This x 100. If LeDecision spends the entire game chasing Tony around screens he'll be dead exhausted by the fourth quarter. I hope Spoelstra decides to do just that.
Bron will tire out if he plays TP more and more.
And, no one in this entire world can stop Lebron James.
This. Also LeBron will have to run through screens and use a lot of energy keeping up with Tony. This will tire LeBron leading to more passive activity on offense. I think it would be bad for Spo to put LeBron on Tony for any extended time.
Some of you dudes sound like closet heat fans tbh. Or trolls smh
Lebron's tank >> Parker's
Lebron is such a freak of nature that I believe he can guard Parker for extended periods while remaining his usual self on offense
Well said.
I thought Miami played good enough defense to win the game, Miami missed big shots, while Spurs hit some timely ones. We were forced to double Lebron on the dribble leaving open their shooters, and while at times they hit shots, they didn't get hot. The Spurs on the opposite side of this weren't able to really break Miami's defense and were forced to take tough shots, and hit them when it mattered. Without adjustment for figuring out how Parker can break their defense down (or Miami just getting tired and not being able to keep up), Spurs will be in trouble. Lebron can't really be more aggressive with the way Spurs were playing defense...it's the Spurs' gameplan to limit his ability to drive. We're really just playing the odds that Miami's shooters won't shoot 50% on open looks. We need to make adjustments to get open shots or things will go sour.
The Spurs will win Game 2 by 150, and LeBron isn't good enough to even make our squad? Is that what a Spurs fan is supposed to sound like?
So why did LeBron get so fatigued, last night, when he only guarded him for a half of a quarter?..
Causes for concern
1) Feeling too comfortable with one win
2) Leaving shooters wide open, again
3) Pop's horrible rotations (Bonner/Neal)
