    No that is your perception, Lebron is one of the premier closers/clutch players in this league. He has hit numerous of game winning shots in his career, while also being a big time 4th quarter performer. Did you watch Game 6 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals? How many players in history have had 4th quarter, like that in the playoffs?

    Butt buddies, lol. Someone must be butt hurt right now, lol.

    and you idiots already are starting to praise Lebron for beating an old Celtics team in the 2nd round of the playoffs. get real.

    The Bulls will be much tougher. and they are younger. That series should be great.

    Many more epic Lebron chokes are possible... i still think i get the last laugh this season

    they dude is like 5-20 under minute down by 3 or less. That's not that clutch

    Sam Jone was clutch tonight. He is the reason the series is over.

    oh and Green, he can't catch.

    Bulls? ROFL

    That team got exposed in Round 1.

    The lack of SG will continue to haunt them.

    And Rose needs to learn to play point guard, not chucker.

    Heat will come out of the East.

    so the bulls being 3-0 against them means nothing at all? Sure boston was 3-1 against Miami.. But this Bulls team is much younger and more athletic.

    James Jones blah.

    and yes, I've been very right with Lebron's career. I get one series wrong and know i'm the ahole! lol.

    He still does not have a ring. he won the 2nd round. Let's see if he can finish?

    after what i have seen so far. It would be hard to bet against him at this point. But i've thought that before.

    did you even watch those 3 games? the heat choked them during their "choking" phase. they had double digit leads in those games till late in the 3rd.

    are you expecting the heat to choke?

    I'm expecting the Heat not to be as "clutch" as they were against boston.. fair enough?

    gun to the head?

    Bulls in 7

    or Miami in 6

    nothing else but that.

    So James Jones, the guy who went 1-4 with 3 points is the reason Miami won? You do realize that a game is an accumulation of plays from all four quarters, right?

    Also, LeBron's clutch numbers have been solid by just about every metric (4th quarter, last few minutes of close games, etc). He & Wade had an anomally this year where they missed a bunch of potential game winners, but the numbers are too small to make anything of it (or else there'd be no way to explain why Kobe was so awesome in the "clutch" last year and so horrid this year). Clutch is a stupid made up concept anyway-- it's what you do throughout the entire game that matters, and LeBron has been the best at this in the entire NBA for most of his career.

    Anyway, this is all lost on casual fans like yourself. I told you guys that the moment LeBron had some real help he would start winning titles, and it looks like that will start right away. Better be ready for a Heat dynasty.

    Still ringless at the moment... so i can still hate. :)

    As far as his legacy. running to Miami will hurt it. I don't think he can ever be called an MJ, regardless of what happens. But maybe a Magic Johnson - the running?

    Before this series started the celtics were the experienced team with championship pedigree, who the heat couldn't handle in the regular season. Now the heat crush them when it counts and all of a sudden the celtics are an old, over the hill team that Miami was expected to beat. Lol

    Haters gonna hate. Heat must be doing something right.

    I can tell you right now that when LeBron retires with multiple rings and all sorts of NBA records, no one will give a crap that he left Cleveland in 2010. But if it helps you sleep at night, believe what you want.

    that's fine. but chicago is struggling offensively vs mediocre defensive teams. i would be fine if chicago struggles to score vs the celtics or mavs or teams of that nature. but they're struggling to score vs the pacers/hawks.

    the heat's defense is elite, and the buls will struggle to score even more. drose will even be more inefficient.

    for the bulls to win a game, drose has to play out of his head and wade/james have to be shut down. now you expect that to happen FOUR times out of 7. that's too much to ask from the bulls. they're simply not that good.

    the heat will beat the bulls in 5.
