    Real talk here…LeBron (like Malone & Barkley), is one of the best players to ever play in the NBA…But he has shown that he does not have what Larry, Magic, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett & MJ have…The heart of a Champion…Blame Riles, blame Spoel, blame Bosh, but in all reality LeBron is weak in the knees when the game is on the line…

    Needs help. He's got Wade and Bosh. If the Spurs had those three, they would be unstoppable because they would play team basketball. The Heat let their towel boy coach the team. Surely Spo is Pat Riley's bas child.

    Also, the super friends experiments don't always produce champions, but they do produce compe ors and better teams.

    IMO it'd be stupid to break the big 3 up. Spoelstra and shooters missing wide open shots is the obvious problem in Miami. As DD said, Chalmers has developed nicely and looks to score at the right time. Keep him and the big 3. Scrap everything else.

    I think Wade would be the last guy they trade. A.) he's the most popular player in the history of that franchise and B.) because of his age and the perception that he's on the backside of his career, they'd probably get less for him than they would get for either of the other guys.

    imo if any of the three go, it's going to be Bosh.
    Bosh is an All-Star caliber big man, and that team might work a lot better with Bosh moving up to be the #2 guy. Wade still has quite a bit of trade value. You can still get a starter and maybe a couple of bench guys for him. I agree that for PR reasons they might be really gun-shy to trade Wade, but I don't know about trading Bosh either. Bosh knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak, about what went down pre-The Decision. I'm pretty sure these guys made up their minds long before they left Cleveland and Toronto to join forces in Miami and there was quite a bit of tampering and collusion.

    They need Bonner and Blair.

    To me the big mystery of LeBron is that he didn't used to have this... issue with crunch time and the fourth quarter. He was phenomenal for the Cavaliers in all those series against Washington, against Detroit, in 2008 against Boston and in '09 against Orlando.

    Usually a guy either has it or doesn't have the clutch gene right from the start. It's a little baffling when a guy goes from having the clutch gene to not having it.

    Honestly, it's starting to look like a fatigue and over-usage issue IMO..he's gassed by the 4th quarter..

    In Cleveland, he had the same offensive responsibility, but he didn't have to put in the same defensive effort..he was able to conserve energy for the 4th quarter, where he did not have nearly the same "closer" issues as he does in Miami, as JoeTait said..

    Lebron joining the Heat was supposed to decrease his load, but it has actually increased..that's on coaching, tbh..the problem is compounded by Spoelstra's system, which is based on players swarming on D, killing their energy, especially James..

    He improved his jump shot, he improved his post game, the issues are still the same..

    What other player in NBA history has been asked to play the following roles: primary scorer, primary playmaker, top rebounder AND defensive anchor..

    I can't think of any player that had the same level of responsibility..possibly KG in Minnesota?..

    Lebron is working too much
    chosen one cannot do everything
    he is tired
    that's not his fault

    Bosh>Bradleys value to their respective teams fwiw.


    No .

    - They are also missing Jeff Green, Jermaine O'Neal.
    - Ray Allen has bone spurs in his ankle.
    - Pierce isn't 100%.

    And Bradley is a HUGE piece to that team, one of the better perimeter defenders in the league.

    Series aint over though.
