How does this guy still have a job in the league. :oldlol:
Miami up 2-1 with HCA against the Mavs
"Hey LeBron... since we're up in this series, play as a GOAT 3rd option and run the offense while rebounding and defending, leave Wade to carry the scoring"
:roll:
How did that work out? Wade lost the ball in a clutch Game 4 loss, and was nowhere to be found in Game 6 scoring 16 points while being scoreless in the 4th quarter.
What was Spo thinking? Did he gameplan this out or did Riley and Wade have a handshake agreement for him to try and force his way to a FMVP :confusedshrug:
Dude is clueless about basketball :facepalm

spo was feeding into lebrons midget mindset at the time...was still premature

Cause he couldnt shoot nor defend at the time, and was already a known choke artist (Getting swept in 07, and two bronze medals in the olympics)
He was a horrible player that finished with 0 FMVP votes in his first two finals
Wasn't Spo's fault LeBron was shook, and was too scared to post up JJ Barea

Exactly, Spo messed up his gameplan, and somehow LeBron takes the blame :oldlol:

This isn't the 60s as the biggest Lebron fan In the world I saw him choke like i have never seen anyone choke before..it was disappointing and he was exposed for being a player who can not make big shots. If bron was a real man he would make that shot in game 7 instead of Kyrie but he has no clutch gene..

This post is as stupid as the OP. Pretty amazing though a player with no clutch gene has managed to win 3 titles/FMVP's

It is isn't it? Crazier things have happened. Lebron most clutch shot was when his team was up by 2 with a few seconds to go and even then that shot looked so damn awkward. I guess Lebron does have that awesome clutch shot where he shot the ball, missed, bosh rebounds and Lebron drains a 3 in game 6!! Oh whoops nope that was Ray Allen but he helped by missing in the clutch!!'

First off, OP is an idiot.
But it would've been interesting to see what a competent coach, like Phil, would've handled Lebron turning into a little bitch.
I bet he could've even turned things around and helped then win the series.

I find myself asking this question on the daily. Bron should have 4 rings if not for being forced to defer to inferior players!
Spo :facepalm

Lebron in 11 was like the dude in a movie who's the teams best player but he sucks ass all game cuz his girlfriend left him or his cat died. Usually, they get a stern talking to from a teammate or coach to break the slump and win
Except Bron didn't break that slump
Dwyane Wade grabbed LeBron James late in the fourth quarter of Game 3 of the NBA finals, one Miami Heat star telling the other that he could play better.

and one of the 10 most stacked teams in Finals history lost to one of the worst

Wade averaged 30/7/5 against the Celtics and it didn't stop Lebron from playing great. Wade had numerous games that season where he led the team in scoring and Lebron still played at an MVP level.
The other funny thing about OP's nonsense is that Wade averaged nearly identical numbers in the finals as he did throughout the season. So did Bosh. The only thing different was Lebron.
Of all the excuses Lebron stans make for 2011, suggesting that there was some kind of role change in the finals might be the most ridiculous. Everything was the same as it haf been all season. Except Lebron. It's really that simple.

:biggums: Bosh shot 40% all season?
Your trolling is starting to become tiresome. :rolleyes:

It really is mind-blowing that a supposed top 3 ATG was defeated so soundly with HCA while having a teammate put up 27/7/5 on 55%. :eek:
Imagine if Gasol put up 27/7/5 on 55% instead of the putrid 13/9/4 on 42% (:oldlol: ) that he did.
Lakers easily win that series even with Kobe's knees falling off.

It does sound goofy to relegate Lebron to being a 3rd option in retrospect but it's all about doing what it takes to win. His deficiencies became a serious liability. I would have probably benched him and let him be a super-sub.

How is that in any way relevant to my point? Bosh's fg%? THAT'S your response to what I said? Unreal. :oldlol:
Bosh averaged 19/7 in the finals, very close to his regular season averages. His efficiency dipped, but his production was comparable accross the board.

How many times do I have to say it? STOP FEEDING THE ****ING TROLLS. Why are you trying to have a reasonable debate with this maggot? This isn't your first experience of his posts...ffs you guys that feed the trolls are just as bad as the trolls themselves. IGNORE IT.

Because a big man shooting 40% is PATHETIC! How can you not see that? :facepalm
Production without efficiency is meaningless

Yeah, your right. My curiousity about how far they'll go gets the best of me sometimes. Short of claiming that Lebron is the best white player of all time, they can't go much further at this point.
