    Has LeBron played his last home game as a member of the Miami Heat?

    Down 3-1, Wade has broken down, Bosh is inconsistent and Pat Riley is having trouble surrounding them with young role players. Are things really going to be better next year? I think if the Spurs cap it in 5 things will get VERY interesting.

    Wrong Bosh is pretty damn consistent. Coach S. doesn't utilize him well. Only 4 shots in game 3.. Also I don't know why they even stopped using Haarlem.. He was clutch in the playoffs last year and the yr before that!

    Wade doesn't want it. He is lolly-gagging around walking around on off ball defense which hurts the team so much. He commands other players to guard the player he's sappose to be guarding. I can't tell if he's gotten lazy or if his health have derailed him from trying hard enough. He's definitely worst than harden right now.

    Lebron's definitely in a pretty bad position if they lose this series. Stay in Miami knowing your team is only getting worse while any finals team from the west will feature superior talent. Or go elsewhere and be labeled ring chaser by all fans.

    I do kind of hope Lebron leaves. If only so Bosh becomes available as a possible FA pickup. I still like him even if the general opinion on him is down.

    Is Riley the 'Master Builder' now???

    Is Spoe a 'GREAT COACH' now?

    Shouldn't that lure LeBron back?

    How do people expect Riley to bring in good role players with all that money tied into the big 3. Hell one of the role players he brought in is a reason the big 3 won 2 titles together anyway.

    Wade is what he is at this point but there is no excuse for Bosh to be so not involved offensively. He should be taking pressure off of Lebron.

    Riley can do so by actually using some more roster spots on younger no name players and invest in their growth instead of signing almost all older guys-- Hell, they used a roster spot on Juwan Howard until this year.

    A lot of the Spurs contributors were found relatively cheaply. Splitter was a late 1st round pick. Green and Mills were found from the scrap heap. They drafted George Hill late 1st round then swapped him for Kawhi. These younger players stayed in the system and grew into contributors.

    The Spurs looked at all available sources of talent, domestic and international, old and young, while Miami went almost exclusively with proven long-time NBA players who were past their primes (thus willing to ring-chase as role players).

    It's not bad to have veterans, but there should be a balance and the Heat are leaning too heavily in the veterans direction. So, when their great athletic stars got older and slower, the whole team is a step slow compared to SAS.

    No one could have beat this Spurs team. Nothing will be solved if Lebron bites the hand that feeds.

    Wow did someone forget about the Mavs a few weeks ago?

    I still believe the Rockets would have had the best chance at knocking out the Spurs this year. If the Mavs took them to 7 games I say the Rockets would have beat them in 6.

    True, I forgot about the Mavs series. In my defense, I didn't catch a single game as I was vacationing. I should go back and see what they did right.

    Going back to Cleveland is the only acceptable option.
