This is in the description of the video: "Miami Heat are have made 1 out of 18 shots in the last 10 seconds of a game when down 1-3 points... here's all 17 of their misses." lol, they are shooting .055 percent in clutch time.
I'm by no means a Heat apologist but, my god, do they ever get out of a timeout at crunch time with a drawn up play that doesn't involve heaving 28 footers? It seems like whoever has the ball at the end of the game (most of the time it looks like LeBron) has to pretty much create on the fly while the other 4 players camp and wait to catch-and-shoot. No real movement at all.
Seriously why does LeBron think it's okay to take a 3pt shot five feet outside the arc when the game is tied?
This video must be wrong. The second clip shows Wade missing a clutch free throw against Utah. But all I read on here is that Wade is clutch and the whole problem is that Lebron keeps getting the ball in crunch time.
He definitely should have taken a dribble or two to get into rhythm, but there were only two seconds left when he caught the ball so he did have to go quickly. The same thing happened on the next play (also against Atlanta, but in overtime); he got the ball with two seconds left on the shot clock. Who is drawing up these plays? Personally, I don't really believe in the whole "clutch" thing, but even if I thought Lebron or Wade was a really clutch player, it just doesn't make sense to run such predictable iso plays at the end of the game when you have three great offensive players and two shooters on the floor.
I'd at least give Chris Bosh a chance. I know he's the whipping boy of the three, but he probably couldn't be any worse and Wade or LeBron. If that fails, why not Mario Chalmers? He hit a game-tying 3 and had a go-ahead layup on Sunday, never mind that they didn't happen within the final 10 seconds....
I second that. After all the guy is best remembered by a clutch shot in the NCAA final some years ago.
