What was the point of Lebron playing with a star to bench him in favor of shooters?

[GoldenGlove]

lol at loyalty..fukk out of here

they got back in the game with mario anderson bron allen miller line up

And let's not forget that the role player/s saved this nikka from getting torched by the media as well.

Lebron was fukking up and turning the ball over with under a minute left. If Ray Allen doesn't hit that 3, he would have gotten shytted on something serious the second the clock struck 0:00

I think it just shows, that Wade really needs to work on his perimeter game this summer. Hes in denial IMO. He isnt the same player that can blow by people and elevate consistently. That dunk he had at the beginning of the game...he just barely made it.

Developing a much more consistent mid-range game is the only way he will be able to continue to play at a high level.

Just because he has bad knees, and can't do certain things anymore doesn't mean hes done. However he needs to adjust accordingly.

im not sure if it really matters what wade it is. bron is so dominant that imo the best play is putting guys around him that make it easiest for him to play the game the way he wants to play...... but dudes knocked that approach before.

im not disagreeing with putting wade on the bench. im asking why dudes used to act like having a star was>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>having guys that compliment your best player only to turn around and shyt on wade.

That's the thing though, Bron is dominant when Wade isn't in the game right now. For some reason, he still defers to him when he shouldn't, when Wade is out there he goes from attacking to just giving Wade the ball and watching. It's the strangest thing to watch.

Back in March when Bron was defering to him it was fine, cause he was an absolute monster during that stretch, then he got hurt and still demands the ball like he did when he was healthy. Having a star > roleplayers next to Bron, just that right now going to Bosh more would be the smart choice.

Lebron twice tried to take it into a crowd. The sad part is, had he given up the ball, and the next guy turned it over or misfired.....he would get roasted by everyone anyways.

Its a lose-lose situation.

Plus cant forget....Bosh was big on the defensive end.

prolly cuz he's nice and doesnt wanna hurt his ego

Wade just needs to do other things except just trying to score. On offense he's a ball stopper because he takes off balanced shots with no Heat player able to rebound.

Just look at that behind the back circus shot this fool tried to hit on Kawhi Leonard. This is the NBA finals and this dude tried that circus shyt like he was at the Rucker.

It honestly seems that way, like he wants to make sure that Wade gets at least 20 before he starts trying to take over.

u talking about the one from earlier in the series on the fastbreak where he flopped?

that was one of the most embarrassing flop attempts of all time. or was that on duncan

yeah i was dead serious. thats gotta be great for wades confidence to see the best player in the world still believing in you when youre fukking up

He tried to score on Leonard with his back to the basket and just flipped the ball backwards without even looking at the rim. Wade didn't have a rhythm so he should've done like Bosh did and rebounded or played defense.

One play he slapped the ball out trying to start a fast break instead of just grabbing the rebound. I know he'll have a better Game 7 but he just seemed out of it this game for some reason.

everybody will have a great game 7 for miami. duncan had a historic first half and it was all in vain. spurs gonna be so demoralized from this

Even three years after they teamed up you can see they still don't fit together and don't mesh well. I though Bron was over that deferring shyt after last year but he still does it though. Him and a prime Ray Allen would have been a lethal combination.

The thing is with this being the last game, how does Pop manage minutes for his veterans? I'm sure Timmy would play all 48 minutes if he could, but that's asking a lot of 37 year old vet, who just laid it all out the last game. Not only applies to Tim but to Manu as well. With Parker, he's still young enough where he's got plenty of ball left....how do you manage trying to win against the risk of Parker tearing it completely?

Also, how fast do you give someone not playing well the hook?

I don't think it's a lack of them fitting, but more so how each of them has changed, their perspectives in regards to their roles on the team. In terms of team chemistry, you can see the team as a whole has "it"

I don't think anyone could have foreseen Wades declining health, Bosh settling for being a stretch 4,etc.

While Spol has adjusted well against other clubs, I'm not sure he's adjusted his x and o's to his own team IMO

Bosh moving out of the paint has to be by design. You really dont want Bosh carrying a big into the paint when your best two players are going to be driving the ball.

I wish they would call some plays for him to go into the post when there is a clear mismatch though.
