I didn't say anywhere that James didn't perform adequately. I'm saying he's treated like Kobe now. He gets almost all the credit when they win and very little of the blame when they lose. Maybe it's fair. Maybe it isn't.

I see.

I mean it's definitely his fault for fouling out at the end, that clearly cost them any chance at that point It's clear Wade's only "clutch" shooting now is chucking 3's and with no one to create for their great spot up 3 point shooter (bosh) the game was clearly lost at that point . But I do think it's fair for the most part

You should watch if you can. LeBron is putting on quite the show.

That's the problem. I was such a huge fan that I actually wanted him to be better than Jordan. I hate watching him because I can't enjoy it.

That's why, besides the Bulls, I just ignore the NBA now. Maybe when Lebron leaves Miami I can finally start watching again.

If you really ignore the NBA then why don't you ignore the NBA area here?

Youre way too rigid with your vision for LeBron.

You'll be a terrible father...


But once you realize that Bosh is not better than Rodman and Wade is equal to Pippen at best, you'll be able to enjoy it.


Dont miss it. You're gonna look up one day at Lebron's 7 titles and try to make excuses

I thought so since he was in high school, and wanted to see it.

That's why it's not really a hatred of Lebron. I just can't help but watch and think it's a massive disappointment that I can't enjoy what he is doing. As I said, maybe once he's gone from Miami I can convince myself otherwise.

Me too. But you need to get over the "he's taking the easy way" fallacy. Its just not true. Its actually ridiculous at this point. Remember when everyone said it was Wade's team? Yeah that was wrong too.

There is nothing easy about what he's doing and Wade and Bosh are not better than Pippen/Rodman or Pippen/Grant

It's more than that, but we've gone over this plenty of times.

Yes, it's no longer Wade's team, but that's because Wade is declining now.

It obvious that the BIG 3 aren't really all that BIG. LeBron is A+ amazing, Bosch is a solid B and Wade is a C+. The bench is solid with Haslem back and the inclusion of Allen is good for a credible off the bench 3 pt threat.

But this team isn't some genetically engineered team that could be the galaxies best. They are just a really good team.

I think you should flip flop Bosh & Wade. Wade still shows flashes of the player he once was, but Bosh is completely useless if his jump shot isn't falling.

That loss last night was all on Bosh. The guy can't even box out or do anything down low. That Hibbert 3 point play (which was pretty much the dagger) is all on him. Lebron is down low banging with David West, and Bosh just lets Hibbert collect his own miss, and go back up. Lebron was fuming, and I would be too.

i know this is an insider article (i'm not a subscriber ) but you don't really even need to read it, just the fact someone would even think to write an article like this

Yeah Bosh was real bad last night. I don't understand how a guy that big and that athletic can just be so bad at times. He is the epitome of soft.

Fair enough. Bosh is really Carlos Boozer and LeBron should be slapping him around in the locker room for being an overpaid bitch.

Bagels, whoever had that thought and wrote that article should be thrown out of a 9th story window.

It was a remarkable game because the Miami scrubs did not score much. Anderson had 0 points, Cole had 4 points, Battier had 4 points, Haslem had 6 points and Bosh had 7 points. Miami shot 39 percent for the game. I don't think the Bulls were even able to hold them to a percentage that low.

Indiana had 19 more rebounds than Miami. They shot 50 percent from the field. They had more attempts and makes from the free throw line. Lance Stephenson gave them 20 points. Paul George only had 12 points, but everyone else in the starting lineup had 14 or more points. Indiana could only play better with fewer turnovers and better 4th quarter defense. Before James fouled out it looked like they might lose the game.

You are a man of principle.

Insane, but still

It stopped being Wade's team the second LeBron showed up

I'm not sure about this. There was some uncertainty in 2010-11 regarding James and Wade, and who was the "man" between the two. James really took control starting last year.

Bosh is soft, but I don't think the comparison to Rodman is helpful. You have to respect Bosh's offense, while the same could never be said of Rodman. Also, Wade is a career 24ppg scorer, and you still are forced to double team him from time to time. Pippen was a respectable scorer, but I don't think he ever forced defenses to double team him the way you have to double Wade.

Honestly, I think after that whole mess was the first time I called the sports psychologist.
