:what:Lebron, wade, and bosh the three main cogs of that heat team have played like shyt for significant stretches in these finals.
No disagreement

And I remember many a games where chalmers and cole bailed the heat ass out of losing the game so don't act like they are some shyt players.
Has nothing to do w/how bad they've been this series though.


If you have to rely on your point guard with a team as stacked as miami then the problem is it's big three(Lebron acting like a robin) not the role players.
Its not about "rely" on Chalmers and Cole. Its those guys can't kill you when they're on the floor. Cole played 7 mins and was a minus 14.:sadbron:

W/O Chalmers Bron would have 0 rings

Cant cosign this blame shifting. Ive watched Mario get bytched out by The 3 Divas on a regular basis, even when he's hitting his shots or carrying them through one of their menstrual cycles. If he's so critical to their success, maybe he needs a bigger paycheck and some more respect. Maybe if Bron had played a year or 2 of college ball he wouldnt be so scary in big game clutch situations.

Didn't "Rio" single-handedly win game 2 for them.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat - Play By Play - June 09, 2013 - ESPN

starting @ 3:16 in the 3rd ... Heat down by 1

Chalmers with the layup + 1
Chalmers assists Ray Allen 3
Chalmers assists Lebron Layup (& Lebron didn't get loose til he was the screener on PnR with Rio and they would double Rio on bad rotations and Lebron got open)
Miller knocks down a 3 (Lebron Assist)
Chalmers with the jumper +1

end of quarter, Heat up 10

w/o that mini Chalmers run and him locking up Parker ... this series is over.

Its incredible breh.

We're talking about Cole and Chalmers, not Wade and LeBron, being the reason the Heat are losing the series. Before that it was Mo, before that Larry Hughes. Who's next to get the blame for the King's failures?

If you've watched Chalmers play since his arrival to the nba you'll know that dude is hot and cold as fukk. He'll do something good and then fukk up soon after. His decision making is horrible at times as well as his shot selection. I think Cole is better overall minus the shooting, but neither one is to blame for the Heat losing to the Spurs. I mean who didn't expect Parker to win that match up is the bigger mystery. Them nikkas ain't on that level, so it should have never been expected of them to magically improve against one of the top PG's in the league.

I know some nikkas will disagree, but I always felt that Spo's bad coaching and Lebron not stepping it up in the crucial moments were always the Heat's biggest problems. Spo doesn't know how to use talented offensive PF's and showed that with Beasley and later on showed that with Bosh who is 2x better. His rotations suck and he relies on Wade and Lebron winging it rather than an actual offensive strategy that incorporates the whole team.

Lebron has moments where he goes into panic mode/jack up bad shots instead of attacking. If nobody steps up during that moment, the rest of the team kind of falls in line with that style of play and eventually lose.

Who will they blame if they lose tonight? Chalmers is their leading scorer at the half with 15. :beli:
