Cleveland Heat
Lebron killing his team's rhythm ala Kobe mode
Dwyane Wade thinks he knows what is causing his Miami Heat team to become a s of itself against the Indiana Pacers. And it is not his bad knee or Chris Bosh's sore ankle.
"We've got to do a good job of making sure me and Chris have our opportunities to succeed throughout the game," Wade said. "That's something we're going to have to look at as a team."
Here is what Wade is talking about: Bosh averaged 16.3 points on 11 shots in the series' first three games. In the three games since, he's averaging just 6.3 points on seven shots a game.
Meanwhile, LeBron James' shots are up and his efficiency is down. In the first four games of the series, James averaged 19.8 shots and 28 points. In the past two games, James has averaged 24 shots and 29.5 points.
Wade implied James is trying to do too much.
"We've got guys individually who want to play better," Wade said. "But we've got to try to help each other out in this locker room and not leave it up to the individual to self-will it."
Following the game, James tried to explain his shift in strategy.
"I mean, we can state the obvious; they're both struggling," James said of Wade and Bosh. "When you're struggling, the best thing to get is a layup or a dunk. [Wade] missed a couple of them ... Chris is struggling with his shot"
Lebron killing his team's rhythm ala Kobe mode
We posted this at the same time. lol
I want a bigger role.
Ok, You be Lebron and act like a diva and I'll be Wade.
Wade has no room tbh, he's been a no show in the last 2 games. But he does have a point. Miami's biggest win and its no surprise, was Game 3. Lebron didn't brought the ball much and flow of offense was spectacular. Lebron posted and dominated George inside, it was a murder actually, Indiana didn't even double Lebron since doing so opens up Miami's shooters. Wade and Chalmers brought the ball up majority of the game while Lebron was on the elbow for the most part either scoring or passing to Andersen inside. The Heat in return had better rhythm, evidently all 5 starters scored in double figures with the highest point total of a player being 22 which was Lebron followed by Wade at 18. Their usage rate was also even no surprise, Lebron 24.2 and Wade 24.8.
Eversince then, and I have no clue why, Miami started playing the usual Lebron dribbling and passing the ball to an open perimeter shooter much like how he used his teammates in Cleveland.
Lebron's dipping into a territory shared by the ballhogers. He's shooting more, scoring less with lower efficiency in this series.
How about Wade handles his current role properly before asking for more shots? Dude is garbage right now and just lucky he's not spending more time on the bench, tbh....
Wade is breaking down. He has no explosiveness anymore. He gets the ball plenty, he just doesn't do anything with it.
Without LeBron taking over, this series is over in 6 to the Pacers. They would have won game 5 and 6 and would be going to the Finals right now.
Last night Wade took 11 shots and made 3 of them. Bosh was 1-8 and it was a ing 3 pointer that he shot.
Yeah putting him on the bench will give them a better chance at winning. Ok DOK.
Wheres Lebron going next?
Wade making James decision that much easier when he leaves there.
If the Heat lose this year in the Finals it will almost be irreparable damage to Lebron's career.........which is why Im guessing there's no way Sternie lets LJ lose this year. You just cant convince people hes the best ever or even close with 1 out of 4 wins in the NBA finals.
Even if the game is rigged similar to the 2006 Mavs/Heat or 2002 Lakers/Kings series, the Heat would need to bring their A game in 6-7 games to win the 2013 Finals. I just don't see it tbh. I know Spurs fans doesn't want to jinx their team, but the Heat doesn't have a chance against San Antonio after displaying all their weakness against Indiana.
wade is kinda like a male version scarlett johansson to me tbh. both had charming faces when they were young and have achieved tremendous successes in their professions respectively. used to love these guys but they both pretty much done now. wade has lost his quickness and explosiveness which made his name known in the past, the younger scarlett had the face of an angel and the charisma to rejuvenate a do , but right now everything is gone from the straw-haired crone.
lol at thinking giving Chris Bosh more touches is going to win them more games.
