Apparently going through the Bucks,Bulls and Pacers is the reason Heat lost game 1

[Darkwaters]

LeQueen is such a . I mean seriously, in every interview since game 1 ended, she is always mentioning fatigue and the Pacers series.

Making excuses is NOT going to get it done against these Spurs.

I know the Pacers were just a good matchup for the Heat (ie, the Grizzlies to us a couple years back). But does the media realize that if they played in the West, with their record, they'd only be the 6 seed? And thats assuming that after coming to the West all year, and playing a Western Conference heavy schedule, that their record wouldn't take a hit. To top that off, the Bucks were a horrible team...that had a losing record. Talk about a cake walk.

...if only we paid him a lot of money for all the work he puts in.

Oh wait, we do. Miami pays him an assload.

Look, I have no special dislike or hate for Lebron (not in the way I do for say Kobe). I actually like the guy within reason. But when players whine about being tired it kind of ticks me off a bit. Play through it. Thats what you do. And you makes absurd amounts of money to do it.

I see where you're coming from in that if all you get paid to do is play basketball, you better not . But still, has any star been asked to do more than this guy? He won't admit it, but wade and bosh have failed him miserably. He has to do the job of all 5 positions for 45 minutes a game almost every night. For gods sake, the dude had a triple double and everyone's kind of disappointed in him i feel like. Idk I love Lebron so that could be clouding my judgement, but the guy is getting as much help as he did in Cleveland

I dont remember anyone on the spurs blaming fatigue and a grueling 7 game series when we lost game 1 in LA in 2008

Heat were gassed in that 4 th the 7 game series took usomething out of then for sure but stop crying lebron

Lebron gets a lot of hate for his comments which I guess is understandable, but think of it like this. For the past 3 seasons, he has played almost every game of the regular season playing about 38 minutes, then about
43+ minutes in the playoffs where he gets to the finals each year. Add the Olympics from last summer and its easy to see why this guys tired. However, it's not just the minutes. Not even Jordan had to do as much for his team as this guy does, Lebron is literally his teams best scorer, passer, rebounder, and defensive player. That's unheard of and he's had to shoulder the load an unfair amount this year, especially in the playoffs

well said.
the guy works his ass off.

Tbh, he might not be the most mentally tough guy in the league and sometimes says the wrong thing, but give the guy a break. I'd be mad too if i joined a team just to be able to play with two all stars only for them to shrink to role player status 2 years later

[Sean Cagney]

I don't remember MJ saying stuff like that ^^

He didn't, thats why we all hate James! He is a jerkoff.

what a big black pussy

That's not a bad thing, tbh!

That's a really pathetic excuse to keep hanging his hat on. The Heat had the weakest two first round opponents of ANY TEAM in the NBA. The Pacers were no tougher than the Grizzlies either (record wise, statistically, whathaveyou), so them going 7 is no one's fault but their own for failing to put them away earlier.

Luckily for them, they got 2 days rest before the Finals and now another 3 which imo they're very fortunate to be getting. Later (between two games in SA), it's only a single day of rest. So the Heat are getting full rest before every home game this series. They cannot logically use fatigue as an excuse for their home games

What next, we're tired because we've played more games than anyone else this year? No , because you got to the Finals. -_-

I don't remember MJ saying stuff like that ^^

That's 'cause MJ is 6-0 in the Finals while LBJ is 1-2 and maybe be enroute to 1-3.

No, I get what you're saying. Really, I do. And I'm not a flag waving, jersey owning Lebron fan by any means, but I do like the guy. Hes got serious talent and I don't think hes a horrible person or anything.
