    everyone on that team knows who the best player is

    bosh and Wade know Lebron is better

    it's on Lebron to say I want the final shot and live with the consequences... you make it your great you miss it there's always next time....the best player will always get blamed when his team loses and he needs to realize that and step up

    Even if that was all true, those occasions have absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the next close game. Unless James and company are so fragile mentally that they have an attitude similar to yours in which case it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But that is then a mental problem, which they can overcome, and not bad luck, fate or curse or whatever preventing the Heat from making those shots.

    If Lebron wanted the ball in his hands, it would have been in his hands. But of course people will blame the coach.

    On a board, yes. In real life it's quite intolerable.

    Chandler has the most pathetic hands I have ever seen on a big man. Can he catch the ball without dropping it every time?


    Carmelo trust your teammates and stop jacking **** up.
    Amare play some ****ing defense.
    Miami isn't going anywhere this year with Battier on the roster.

    Ha nope. Yeah, seems you do it a lot(predict the worst possible outcome) but it doesn't really bother me as much as it may others.

    i actually think that's part of it. the opponent plays like they know the heat have all the pressure and it frees them up to just make plays. the heat play the last 30 seconds like a team with everything to lose, and it has shown for 2 years.

    can they? so far they haven't. this isn't a mental problem like not remembering to look for the open guy in the corner when you drive. this is just innate stuff i think. until they win a championship, i won't be convinced it's gone. and i don't think they will either.

    Or just have more confidence in his play calling or develop a better 10 second offense.

    The best title teams had more than one closer on many occasions, the best teams always exploited matchups and defensive breakdowns. Your best scorer maybe triple teamed, you always need multiple options.

    I thought Miami figured this out last season.....the "closer" should be your hot hand. In this case, it was LeBron. Sometimes it will be Wade, but tonight it should have been LeBron.

    Also.......I saw little movement on that play after the initial pick. Everybody was watching Wade expecting him to make something magical happen. How about getting open to make a play (Bosh did roll)
