Heat: Lebron due for a huge game

whats the chances of wade and bosh intentionally sucked on purpose?

Possible, but not probable at this point. You can't take what isn't there, and the Spurs have closed the paint to Lebron. Unless he catches fire with his jumper, I don't see a big scoring barrage coming from Lebron James, especially when the Spurs are leaving Miami's shooters open. People seem to be under the illusion that Lebron can go 1 on 5 and drive to the paint whenever he wants. That is not how basketball works. The Spurs are playing fantastic individual and team defense, and as long as they stay disciplined, Lebron will be contained.

Perhaps in the regular season, but not in the postseason. People are habitually underestimating this Spurs defense, which has been at another level since the second half of game 2 against Golden State. Boston did not have a Kawhi Leonard to throw at Lebron. Kawhi might be transforming into the best wing defender in the league before our eyes.

Lebron is not some great mystery to figure out. There is no single player out there that can currently match his combination of size and speed. Kawhi may come closest, but Lebron would annihilate him one on one. The Spurs have dedicated their entire team's defensive philosophy to keeping Lebron out of the paint. Any team with decent bigs could theoretically pull this off. Most just don't have the discipline to keep it up. It also gives Miami's other players a chance to beat you. The Spurs are willing to live with that, and thus far it is working.

Where the did this guy come from dropping TRUTH BOMBS downstairs? I thought I paid attention but has some great takes.

remember in the RS when lebron only avg less then 2 FPG or times he didnt even get commit a foul...now those numbers increase in the playoffs and he acts like he never commited a foul in his life

The whole premise of this thread is what a logician might call the "Gambler's Fallacy."

Not necessarily. The odds do favor Lebron having a 25-30 point game, since that is indeed closer to his average than his production in this series, so the safe assumption is that Lebron will have good, even "big," game.

On the other hand, you can argue his "average" didn't come against this Spurs team in this situation (NBA Finals) and that these first 3 games could very well be his statistical "mean" in this instance rather than an anomaly. Only problem is the sample size is too small. So I guess smart money would still be on Lebron having a good/great game.

Bron said the 2011 game 5 was then "the biggest game of his life" and he went on to score 8 points IIRC

[Lincoln]

That may have been game 4 actually

Hope that happens again.

Game was Wade's but Lebron didn't disappoint. Still not a huge game by his standards but a solid one nonetheless.
