Is the "LeBron's Teammates Suck" excuse in the making yet again?

[The Iron Fist]

care to provide any examples?

Shannon Brown, ex Cav, ex nobody.

Joins the Lakers and becomes a two time champ.

I love the argument that other players should shoulder the blame if the Heat lose. Isn't LeBron supposed to be the MVP? GOAT candidate? How in the world can other people be responsible?

Wade isn't carrying his load? Wade's not supposed to carry the ****ing load. He's LeBron's sidekick now, isn't he?

Haslem's not hitting the game winners? He's ****ing Udonis Haslem? Why the hell is he supposed to close games on a team featuring the MVP?

That's like saying it wasn't Karl Malone's fault he didn't deliver in the clutch back against MJ's Bulls, it was Shandon Anderson's fault because he missed some crucial layups.

Yep that's a good example to draw from. In fact I would say it's worse because Wade and James are two of the best players in the league and they also have another top5 player at his position in Bosh.

Wade defnitely sucks in this series. He looks more washed up than Ray Allen it's embarassing and painful to watch.

[blablabla]

care to provide any examples?

is anyone going to give the celtics any credit????

maybe the celtics played simply better????

[Eat Like A Bosh]

The center position is really the only weakness. They are not going to need a real ball dominant PG with Wade and LBJ anyways. Chalmers is definitely not a scrub. In fact I wish he was on my team. Wade, LeBron, Bosh, Chalmers, with Battier, Miller, Haslem off the bench, that doesn't look shabby at all.
