Lebron's biggest weakness in this series is he's not a pure scorer

He lacks the killer instinct to go for 50 +. at this point.. feels like there's no other way the heat could get a game.

What seperates Lebron from other franchise players is his defense and his unselfishness (in certain situations) .But that shyt doesnt matter when the rest of the team is shell shocked :wow:

The other 4 starters scored 28 on 32% shooting and going into the 4th, the rest of the team shot 25%. This was an issue of nobody except him showing up to play.
Right... but Jordan or Kobe could go for 60+ points if they needed to.

Im not saying Jordan could win the series, Im saying he could win the game.

They weren't going for 60 in the finals while having to do literally everything for their team year in year out. Miami might very well ask more of James than Cleveland did. Nobody is getting 60 in the finals. Team asks him to do too many other things that'd slow his scoring down anyway.

I agree the talent disparity is too much between these two teams. But a pure scorer would have made it interesting. Someone who could just zone out the rest of the team

Im just asking for an entertaining game bruh!!

Lebron has shown the "fukk it" mode twice in his career. Game 5 against the Pistons and Game 6 vs the Celtics. I expect him to go out blazing in Game 5.

Has this guy even taken 20+ shots in the series?
Hell yeah. Realistically the heat are not winning this year but they can do better then 5 games

Indiscriminately chucking up shots doesn't work against San Antonio. They're built to stop one man shows.
San Antonio cannot stop a one man show if he's in the zone. Ask them about 01, 03, 04, 08. kobe, that's the whole point of this thread. Bron can get to that zone he just needs to let the fukk loose, fukk your FG %.
