Kobe is more clutch than Lebron, didn't say otherwise..
However, even if Miami had won these clutch time games, they shouldn't even be in close games vs. this Celtics team in the first place, tbh..their offensive system is atrocious and their shooters can't shoot..

I do not feel sorry for him. He is paying the price for making the wrong choice in going to Miami. The Heat's big three are not a good match or a le trio. Despite the NBA's reputation of being a superstar's league, you can't just throw any three star players together and expect to win it all.
Lebron and D-Wade are to similar players. Their strengths overlap, and thus talent (and ultimately money) is wasted. Bosh is a jump shooting big that does not dominate the paint. The Heat would have been a lot better off if they had signed Lebron or D-Wade, matched one of them with Bosh, and used the extra money to sign better shooters and a defensive big to pair with Bosh.
Lebron could have went to almost any team in the league. There were several teams he could have gone to and had a much better chance at winning a le. He made a bad basketball decision, and he is now paying for it on the court.
If that's the case why's Lebron deferring to his teammates so much ?
The last 7 minutes, I was thinking, why is he passing so much ? That's his time to take over. He's a beast. And he's good enough to win them the game on his own. That's what I don't get. If he's going to go down, he should go down shooting. Seems like he just wants to blend in and become a good role player almost when it counts the most.
Can't say i do.
Thing is this is Lebron's prime year. If he couldn't show his willingness to take the shot now, he will not develop that next year or in any of the few remaining years of his career. Lebron is just not the guy who will "force" a shot. He will always make the right play.
And Lebron does have an excuse this year. I'm sorry but outside of Wade, Miami's roster is trash tbh. They are heavily relying on Haslem, Joel Anthony and Turiaf for crying out loud!
If Bosh is healthy then there won't be any excuses.
Not a lot of choices tbh. There was no future in Cleveland and New York is a mess. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.
btw, Mike Miller is absolutely terrible...just awful.
Jones and Battier have sucked ass as well.
Chalmers is a keeper...he's improved immensely and will continue to do so. He's also not afraid to take big shots. Keep the big 3 + Chalmers and scrap everyone else.
Pretty sure Chicago was an option...
This offseason discussion for Miami should be postponed until AFTER they win the 2012 championship. Miami is still winning this championship. I just don't see them failing. I just don't. I see a team making things real difficult for themselves, but even that will be something they will overcome.
I was campaigning for det guy to join LA in the summer of 2010.
he can shoot and create space for the bigs down low
Glad it didn't turn out that way.
that prick. couldn't be happier, tbh.
I remember that. Who knows what. Rose is injured leaving Bron with Deng, Noah and Boozer. Good team tbh, not sure if they can win a chip. But having Thibs is a good thing. Lebron needs the ball though, so does Rose. not sure how that would work tbh.
Dayuuuum.
Yous a got azz
I thought so too, and I thought that was the best option. One superstar already in place, a great coach coming in, and much better role players. If Lebron went to Chicago, I am very confident they would have won the le last year.
I heard LA needs knowck down shooters. We'll trade him for MWP.
But he's good enough to create his own shots. And sometimes, making the right play isn't passing to an inferior player. It's knowing you have a better chance of scoring even if someone else is wide open. Anyways, I digress. I think I've made my point. Lebron had a solid game though. But I just sense he could've been even better and carried them to a win despite all the other "excuses"...he's too good.
Boston's missing people from injuries as well. Basketball's a mental game, and Boston's superior in that category whether they win this series or not.
Virtually any team in the NBA would have been happy to have him. , he could have signed for the midlevel somewhere if he'd wanted.
But really, all he would have had to do to lock up some rings was sign with Chicago. They even had the cap. A ton of really solid supporting players, some second-tier stars, played really well as a team, all they were missing was an alpha dog. Literally could not have been a more perfect situation, and you could have just cancelled the Finals for about 5 years straight, because it would have been over for anyone else.
Instead he decided to form a microwave team with stars whose games didn't really complement each other and a decided lack of either quality role players or team cohesion.
His call. His DECISION.
It's all on him, so I give him no sympathy.
If Lebron went to Chicago there would have been only one other threat in the East in Boston. Lock for ECF every year.
LeBron had a solid game but he was scoreless for 8:00 in the fourth. Ouch.
yea, that was my point.
son, according to espn, he had a layup with 10 seconds left
Yeah, sorry for that. I corrected it. What I meant is that he was scoreless for 8 minutes in the fourth. Still, that sucks.son, according to espn, he had a layup with 10 seconds left
His two field goals:
8:10 LeBron James makes 25-foot three point jumper (Dwyane Wade assists)
0:09 LeBron James makes driving layup
