What does it say about a league that a team doesnt give max effort even in the finals

[Frump]

This Heat team obviously just turns it on when they have to win a game and they dominate and coast the rest of the time that isnt a good look for the nba

What other league do you seem teams just takes playoff games and final rounds off?

Theyres a reason people have bad stereotypes about the nba and think of alot of the players lazy selfish egotisticial primadonnas

It says "It's all about the benjamins baby"

 

[Newzz]

Because we never had players in other leagues say "I'll play when I want too" or be known to take plays off if they arent involved in that play

It says that the heat are stacked as fukk. Look at how much help lebron has(from 3 point shooters to spot up shooters to two perennial allstars who would be number 1 options on any other teams) yet heat stans/lebron dikkriders want to complain about lebron needing more help.

I don't think it's so much about them not giving a fukk and being lazy as it is the Heat star players not having a sense of urgency.

They think because they have half an Olympic starting lineup they can just coast out there, so when they get caught slipping by a team, they can't just flip the switch mid-game.

When they come out with a sense of urgency (Game 2 and 4 of this series, Game 7 against Indy, Game 6 last year vs Boston), they're a drastically different team.

I think that speaks volumes about their coaching (or lack thereof), since it's the coach's responsibility that his players be focused, tuned in, and understand the importance of the game. You can tell Spoelstra is just a ragdoll that Bron and Wade probably don't even listen to.

those teams don't usually make it to the finals though

It's called urgency. Adversity doesn't necessarily build character but it certainly reveals it.

 

[Newzz]

It's not like in other leagues, we see guys ROUTINELY fail to run out ground balls or pop ups/not hustling to the ball/being thrown out at while jogging to first base/Managers saying their own player is only settling for 75 percent of his talent/lazy throws

Two notable former 49ers ripped the effort displayed in the Super Bowl by the NFL's self-proclaimed “greatest receiver.”

Bill Romanowski and Dwight Clark blasted Randy Moss for not bothering to leap or reach for a second-quarter pass. Safety Ed Reed intercepted Colin Kaepernick's high throw, though it's unclear whether Moss could have deflected it or even disrupted Reed's vision.

“Randy Moss -- he alligator-armed it,” Romanowski said on the Comcast postgame show. “He didn't go for the ball! He said he was the best receiver in the damn world -- OK, you hear me? Oh God! That's what pisses me off! You're playing in the Super Bowl, guys! The Super Bowl!"

Added Clark: "He didn't alligator-arm it. He didn't even reach up for it! He watched it sail over his head. Yes, it was high. Kaepernick was a little nervous. ... But make some kind of movement for the ball."

in the world series i can see regular seasons of sports but not when teams are playing for a title

 

[Buckeye Fever]

They need to make this shyt a one and done.

Bet nikkaz play right then

It says that the Lakers are stacked as fukk. Look at how much help Kobe has(from two 7 footers to spot up shooters with two perennial allstars who were number 1 options on their previous teams) yet Lakers stans/Kobe dikkriders want to complain about Kobe needing more help.

 

[Majestic Pape]

It doesn't say shyt about the LEAGUE.

Uber talented people of all fields are known to coast. It's actually rare that extreme talent is met with extreme urgency/focus, and that's why it's so special when it happens and those people are regarded as so great. A guy with ultra talent like D. Wade that gives fluctuating effort is a lot more common in ALL sports (and fields) than a guy with maximum talent who always gives maximum effort, like Michael Jordan.

 

[Thegospel]

It says more about lebron than anything. More proof the Jordan talk should die. Just, NO!
