Finish The Mission!!! Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread. Heat Vs Thunder

It looked to me like Bron was just forcing shots in the 4th just so he could say he was trying to will his team to victory.

Then Wade started jacking up long js and 3s. I'm watching like,

Why is Wade taking 3s?

Lol @ lebron not having killer instinct. Y'all gotta put that bs rhetoric to rest. What he's been doing this playoffs is nothing short of amazing. 30 , 7, and 4. Meanwhile Teflon wade has been getting more passes than a cop in traffic court.

He doesn't have killer instinct breh. You can hear it in his postgame interviews and how he responds to losses. When they were down 3-2 to Boston, Bron was talkin bout how at least Miami put themselves in a position to win and that's all they could ask for

That's not how winners with killer instinct who wanna be the best respond to big playoff losses. He just doesn't have it in him mang. I wish he did but he just don't.

I kinda wish things worked out for him in Chicago. He was traded before the Thibs era too. He would be insane in the Bulls defensive schemes

But we got Taj with the pick, so I can't complain too much

After big losses he responded with two historic performances on the road.

So is Lebron going to guard Durant next game or what?

They indicated that they will "make adjustments" and he said it was Spo's suggestion so he could switch off pick and rolls early with Perkins in the game.

With that said, if LeBron really is the defender people make him out to be, then he will take the assignment of Durant and limit him to less points than he scored in Game 1. I can't respect LeBron if he is hidden defensively the whole series on Perkins, unless Spoelstra comes out and expressly states at the end of the series that it was his idea and LeBron was instead lobbying to guard Durant.

It's retarded. I mean, why is he guarding everybody but Durant?

They're both SFs, no need to play around with cross matchups

Put Bron on KD, and put Wade on Westbrook.

It's not that hard.

His sheer talent got him through that series, plus the fact that Ray, P Double, and KG were worn out from a second consecutive 7 game series. His talent alone won't be able to get him past OKC tho. He's gonna need to change his attitude and mindset to that of an MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird to win that ring.

Its obvious that Spo is trying to save the legs of Lebron, coming off of a 7 game series. He played like 46+/per game against Boston. I'm sure Lebron will step up to defend Durant at key points in the game. It should be Battier on Durant early.

This. They can't risk not doing this just to save Brons legs. He's the only one who has the potential to slow KD down a bit.
