dude had a triple-double and came off looking real bad somehow..

did he play "bad" enough that he has to redeem himself with a spectacular/historic performance just to erase the memory of game 6?

lets say heat win game 7 but lebron is more of a background player and other guys step up to win it..is his legacy ruined?

I dont think he came off looking bad last night. He basically redeemed himself in the 4th and OT.

I do feel like this game could propel him into what we've all been waiting for tho (his fans at least). Im hoping he comes out aggressive looking for his game first instead of being passive to start, but hes let me down thus far in that sense this series.

Either way I do not believe this is going to be his last finals appearance so it cant really break him. Hes got a lot of years left still, tomorrow's a great oppurtunity to build on his resume and gain some respect from those who have yet to fully believe he has IT.

All he has to do is play aggressive from the start. That's been my biggest gripe with him during this series. He seems to sleepwalk through first halves and then kick into gear sometime in the second half (though sometimes not even that).

If he just goes all out the entire game like we all know he's capable of, win or lose, nobody should be mad at him.

it's a combination of a lot of things

1. they/He usually start slow

2. not agressive a lot of times especially when wade is on the floor he rather defer and with wade on the floor the lanes are clogged so he doesn't drive but even then he still should be like fukk it

3.TO's in crucial moments especially when he turns it over himself

Bron will be iight though Game 7 we goin ham i know He's relieved that he has a second chance to win this thing

He starts slow because he's too passive. LeBron was trash through the first three quarters and he looked lost. 4th quarter comes around and he's aggressive all of a sudden. Where was that the first three quarters? :mindblown:

Game 4 was really the only game he came out aggressive from the beginning. Every other game was a slow start and some games he never even showed up (game 1, 2, 3, and 5).

Stop blaming Wade for his lack of aggression. They've been playing together for three years and he's won two MVPs in that time. He knows how to play with Wade. :stopitslime:

im not blaming wade im saying that's part of the problem......he just needs to say fukk it duh he's been doing for 3 years with wade im not stupid nikka...im saying FROM BRONS POINT OF VIEW that's what it is....every time wade's in the game he forgets what he was doing when wade is out the game that's just how he acts sometimes when wade is on the floor especially when they're down....it's no coincidence when wade misses games and it's just Bron/Bosh them nikkas are undefeated

I think people are expecting Super Bron for all four quarters, and we aren't seeing it. He doesn't look hungry.

Miami needs to dominate play from the gitgo and it almost seems like the Heat are now the underdogs.

Lebron had some great assists early on (miller 3, chalmers 3 etc) and got the team going. Heat were up at the end of the first quarter. I got no problem with him getting his teammates going. Dominated the 4th with Wade on the bench. Wade can't shoot and just clogs up the lane.

James was bad at the end of the 2nd quarter. 3rd he and wade tried to be aggressive but got 0 calls. Got no calls because the Spurs just clogged the lane and dared them to shoot. It's not like he wasn't trying. James has to work on his mid-range j this summer.
