Weirdest sh1t I seen in a while. Do something. Even if they call the play for wade get involved slide to a passing angle or set a screen for him. Be involved. He should have bad the ball in his hand, he was hot. Bad decision by the coach but also shows a lack of maturity in his off the ball game. Just cause you don't have the ball doesn't mean you can't get in and do something to help. Ther bet player was a spectator on the biggest play of the game. Just terrible

Lebron was very clutch in the end but Wade couldn't give up the ball. Credit to Stoudemire for playing tight defense on him.

Pretty inexcusable play drawn up by Spoelstra. Going by body language, LeBron seemed sulky and pissed the entire time Wade was dribbling the ball. Even more after the buzzer.
Although I'm glad Wade, for once, got to take a last shot with his team down. It's always with the score tied otherwise, an opportunity LeBron NEVER, EVER gets.

Have some of you ever played basketball before? Lebron isn't going to sabotage the last play by getting involved. The play was an iso for Wade being guarded by Amare. An iso means you stay far away and give room for Wade to maneuver. Seriously, the hate is retarded on this site.

I blame spo 1st since he was the stupid one who drew up the iso for Wade. Bron had some space to catch a pass from wade but wade had already turned his back to the basket and settled for a bailout fadeaway.
This is the only rare time I will say bron didn't do anything wrong.

So... I'm guessing you don't know what a designed play is? It broke down because Wade lost the handle, not because LeBron's off the ball play is "so immature" that he couldn't involved in a play where his only purpose was to clear out a defender.

Coaches don't get to tell lebron james to stand in the corner in a playoff game.
But they do tell him its "Wades play"....
Wade took the ball and immediately drived in and went to the completely opposite side of Lebron at the 3PT line.... Once again, what were you expecting Lebron to do? Jump over everybody from the 3PT line and go for a rebound or a alley-oop or something? :biggums:
Battier lost this game with his horrible defense on Melo and then a bad coach decision lost the game officially by giving it to Wade when Lebron didnt even freakin miss a shot in the clutch just before that...

05-06-2012, 07:03 PM
If his job was to clear out a defender they should have set up lebron and wade on the same side and have lebron screen for him which would have either set up a clear path for wade to drive or him to pass to lebron for a better look off the roll. Either way he is involved in the play and your two best players have the chance to create the best look possible. When they passed it in to wade I thought that's what they would do but instead wade ran tr other way and lebron just stood there. Terrible play

Hit or miss doesn't matter. The desire is what matters. Willing to fail if it means the chance to succeed. I wanted him to take that shot because I love to see players go for it. If you miss you miss. I thought he was going to win, he was in a groove. I would have been surprised if he missed honestly.

lebron not getting the last shot is inexcusable.. I am tired of Wade be looked at as the closer. Lebron is the best player who time and again puts heat in situation to win by hitting big shots only to have final shot drawn up for Wade who doesn't deliver. This shit has to change. Worst part is media will have field day on lebron once again which won't help his confidence in those scenerios..

And if all this is true, Lebron deserves just as much blame. He has to man the fukk up and start demanding shit, NOW. Fukk what Spo says, if you are feeling it, and have been hot all night, you HAVE to go for it.

Not blaming lebron for anything. Just mystified by his lack of participation. Wade was a mess on that last play, had total tunnel vision. But even if wade had decided to pass to another player for the final shot lebron would not have been available because he didn't move to make himself available. And he didn't move to get in position for a rebound or putback either in case wade missed. Two things he could have done. Either way I wish he would have just told the coach, let me win this game.

Well thats the problem. The only way to succeed is to actually completely succeed. Not go 10% of the way there. Not go 70% of the way there. 90% isnt good enough either. 100%. Multiple times, like every other great player has. Then we can never take it away from him. He shouldn't receive credit for almost doing it.

That's pretty much it really.
Ultimately, LeBron is not true leader. A true leader would of demanded the ball and made the decision whether to shoot it himself or dump it off.
LeBron meekly went along with the plan to coddle dwhistle's ego.

Lebronsexuals trying to pin the blame on Spo.
I would love to see Spo draw a play for Wade with Michael Jordan accepting to stand in the corner :lol
So the play was Wade trying to deceive Knicks players trying to score 2 points to only then go for the three?
Wade looked at Lebron just after he got the ball, but Lebron didn't want anything to do with that play :roll:

How you guys blame Spo is beyond me. That was an EXCELLENT play from Spo. He drew up a play that would set up a mismatch for Wade. Wade just didn't come through.
Thats not the problem.The problem is lebron scored 6 points on and one and very clutch three point shot.Spo doesnt run a play for him.Especially this season i have never seen him involved in last second shots.He is much better shooter and finisher.He could basically get by anyone on knicks and finish over anyone.Thats what he used to do in cleveland.He gained that back in last year playoffs he lost it again in finals.

I'm sorry, but I absolutely REFUSE to believe Spo just made Lebron sit in the corner and do absolutely nothing. NOTHING, not even at least find himself some possible space for a bailout 3 pointer. Not even a screen to help Wade. Not even to act like a decoy and run to the basket....
And if all this is true, Lebron deserves just as much blame. He has to man the fukk up and start demanding shit, NOW. Fukk what Spo says, if you are feeling it, and have been hot all night, you HAVE to go for it.
so what are you saying is he should essentially start sabotaging his coach and start running things on his own? Is that how all the superstars in history operated their teams too?

Well thats the problem. The only way to succeed is to actually completely succeed. Not go 10% of the way there. Not go 70% of the way there. 90% isnt good enough either. 100%. Multiple times, like every other great player has. Then we can never take it away from him. He shouldn't receive credit for almost doing it.
I like that perspective and completely agree. Thanks for actually not being a hater and making a good argument with my original post. :cheers:

Sure, but this relegates Wade to roleplayer status.
That's going to be the issue. Can Wade's ego accept being carried to a second title even if he pretends to be the most important player on the team?
And if he does pretend at certain moments, can LeBron's ego accept going down in history as a GOAT-level talent who accepted being a 2nd option when everything was on the line?

Did you watch the game? LeBron couldn't get ****ing past Tyson Chandler with 5 fouls. LeBron hasn't beaten anyone off the dribble since forever. And I'm not even hating on him because he's by far the best player in the league but the fact that he struggles to get past people with his athleticism is ridiculously disappointing. I don't think he's gotten past Melo off the dribble more than twice this whole series. Whenever there's a mismatch he always struggles to get past his defender and almost 90% of the time settles for a pull-up. Wade had Amare on him who he would beat off the dribble 9 out of 10 times if you gave him another opportunity. Wade just didn't come through, THAT IS ALL.

That is what he was told by Spo to do. Keep distance from Wade to keep his defender away from Wade. If he approaches Wade, his defender follows which ruins the isolation play. The iso should have been ran for Lebron, but the coach makes the decisions, not the players.

I don't know what situation you're talking about, but the Clippers don't have D-Wade.
Overriding your coach when he tells you to go to Blake is different than overriding your coach when he tells you to go to D-Wade.
Which brings us to something very hysterical in this thread. And that is that hateres are acting like Lebron should have done anything possible to keep the ball away from D-Wade, as if Wade were some scrub and getting him a mismatch on Stoudemire was a horrible play.
And I guarantee you if you traced back the posts of some of these posters, they likely posted in other threads about how great D Wade is and how lucky Lebron is to be on the Heat.

Apparently you are saying that there was a situation in LAC where Del Negro drew up a play for somebody else. And then Paul decided not to listen to that play and took the shot himself.
I'm saying if the Clippers also had Wade, i doubt Paul would have decided to take the ball out of Wade's hands and go against Del Negro.
So, like I said, taking the ball out of Blake's hands (or whoever Del Negro drew the play up for) is a little different than taking the ball out of Wade's hands.

He got the ball against Utah + Clippers + GSW in big time situations like this. Obviously it wasn't the playoffs but the ball was in his hands late in the game to make decisions. This is the problem with having 2 great players on one team that are more than capable of taking and making these shots as well as running plays at the end of games.

LeBron is a weak minded overrated joke. I dont get all the hype on him. He wont be higher than a top 60 player after he retires.
And yet, that's far beyond anything you could even dream of ever accomplishing in your life.

lol lebron's major asset is his physical gifts
he was born with that, thats nothing earned
being an incredibly gifted athlete in itself is no accomplishment, it's what you do with it against your rivals

Yes, because between games, LeBron just chills at home, watching TV and eating doritos. Being tall is all it takes to be an elite athlete.

LOL. Lebron came in with a pretty weak jump shot and has improved highly in that regard. Same goes for his defense. And he's now getting a little better in the post.
He also makes great decisions and is a great leader which is all mental.
When there is an isolation play called for a player, aren't the other teammates supposed to stand on the perimeter such as to open the floor giving the player with the ball room to operate? Isn't that the whole reason the play is called an "iso"?

hard work is not an accomplishment in itself
nobody athletes can work as hard as GOATs, but not see same results because their body is not as good. That's got nothing to do with heart, leadership, mentality, etc. It's simply how they're built.
LeBron is gifted athletically. That in itself is no accomplishment. It's what he does with being so gifted that counts.
So far, he has chosen to be a 2nd to one of the main rivals of his era, so he can have easy victories. That's not the mentality of a GOAT. That's about choice, not gifts.

He's been referred to as a gym rat by none other than Kobe Bryant.
Where did the whole "LeBron is nothing but athletic" bullshit come from? Does the hate for the dude extend that far that you buy into that garbage?

Too bad Spoelstra can't be fired. :( He'll be the Heat's coach for at least 8 more years.

LeBron being a "2nd" :roll: :roll: .
We all know only a poor leader could win 66 games and be the favorites to win the title in back to back years with the likes of Mo Williams as his 2nd option.

Again, you're equating hardwork with god-given talent.
LeBron is a step above anyone else simply from his natural physique.
Being a gym-rat has zero to do with it.

LeBron has willingly chosen to be a 2nd. He has chosen to have it easy by letting someone else be alpha when it counts.
Can you imagine MJ ever accepting the role LBJ accepted in crunch-time of the last Knicks/Heat game?

There are a lot of players who are absurdly athletic. I'm not quite understanding your point.
Look at him since he's entered the league; you think those changes occurred simply because of his natural physique which you seem to think took no hard work to maintain/develop?

Unfortunately, no one who is expected to be taken seriously sees it that way. Wade has openly admitted who the best player on the team is; the media, who absolutely hates LeBron, has also made it clear.
Having another top 5 player in the league who was also great in the 4th quarter take a shot sometimes in the clutch, doesn't make you a 2nd option.
Can you imagine Magic letting Kareem/Worthy....oh wait.
Was Wade accepting his role as the "2nd option" in every game that LeBron took the final shot or was creating the plays in the 4th quarter with the game close?
LOL at all of you nerdy f*gg*ts who somehow managed to make a 12 page thread about the final play of the game. The heat went to wade for the final play and he managed to fumble and overdribble, and you geniuses have somehow managed to come to the conclusion that lebron was scared of the final shot. You not see how he carried the team in the 4th?
Do any of you even play basketball? It's like you want some childish athlete-hero fantasy to be fulfilled, where the best player has to take and make every big shot. Wade is a proven play-maker, if he didn't fumble the shot he could've easily hit lebron for the game-winning three, he fumbled and thats all there is to it. LoL at all you f*gg*ts playing sherlock holmes and overanalyzing
With the expectations you put on lebron, you are indirectly acknowledging that he is one of the GOAT, if these are the main gripes you find with his game

In fairness as much as it is Lebron's fault it is down to the coach as well. Thing is he sees Wade as the closer as he has done it before for years in Miami. It's an odd situation.
