In order for the Rockets to win the supposed Leader of the team must show the way. Think about it for a second, if you're Pat, D12, and/or Ariza etc... and you're putting in max effort on the defensive end and with 4 seconds left you see someone driving in for an easy layup, no need to guess who man that is, we already know. It is demoralizing to see teams that need a bucket put James in the PnR and watch all kinds of positive things happen. The rotations are horrible because once the ball skips back to where James is supposed to be he's out of position. I grow tired of watching him give up the baseline from the wing and then trying to reach around and steal or poke the ball out. How about staying in front of your man and forcing them to shoot a contested shot. You can't hide him against the Dubs and his mindset is, I must stay fresh for the offensive end. You're only 26, how about playing both ends, like a true superstar. Your efforts on D can go a long way to making this series competitive and enhancing the level of efforts by others on D. Lead or get out of the way!!
I mentioned D12 because at the beginning of the season he was playing D at a higher level. We all know he was trying to get a max contract. But let's be real, how many times has James yelled for help once his man starts driving to the bucket causing D12 to be out of position for a rebound while attempting to stop James's man.
i thought he always busts his behind while on the court. but maybe he'd conserve some energy first, because he's carrying a huge LOAD offensively, according to his fans.
