    Lebron is too ripped. He wouldn't get cramps of he rebuilt the body to be dominant fat like Boris Diaw.

    You want to throw them under the bus = pretty much implying they are unworthy players for LeBron. You think LeBron gets gets unfair criticism for joining up with superstars who "don't show up" and use selective games to prove your point. Well, i disagree and say they've given their contributions more often than not and i get tired of people trying to act like LeBron is a victim.

    I criticized Lebron for his performance against Dallas.

    But now I can't criticize Bosh and Wade. You are hilarious

    Which 'Big Three' had a bad game?

    33 min | 9-17 | 2-3 3PT | 5-6 FT | 6 reb | 3 ast | 3 stl | 4 TO | 25 pts
    34 min | 7-11 | 3-4 3PT | 1-1 FT | 9 reb | 1 ast | 0 stl | 2 TO | 18 pts
    33 min | 8-18 | 1-3 3PT | 2-2 FT | 3 reb | 2 ast | 1 stl | 2 TO | 19 pts

    Oh, only because Wade and Bosh and the rest of the guys didn't finish the job.

    It was LeBron's fault in 2011. It is the rest of the team's fault in 2013.
    Or is there a rule saying we can only ever criticize LeBron?

    That being said. I wouldn't even blame Wade and Bosh in this instance.
    THERE IS NO HOF PLAYER OR TEAM THAT COULD HAVE WEATHERED A 14-16 QUARTER FROM THE SPURS.
    It was a freak of nature quarter. Just accept the loss and move on.

    Didn't realize we aren't allowed to discuss the game today oops.

    Bosh and Wade were awesome tonight. Played like Hall of Famers down the stretch

    Funny thing is that guy was one of the main guys criticizing Lebron on this board.

    He's a hypocrite.

    Obviously we all have our biases. Sick of people with said biases acting like they are 100% objective and always right.

    So are the Spurs gonna win the series? Does one victory mean more than just one victory?

    I didn't say anything about not being able to criticize x or y player. I'm just sayin' people are getting a little too defensive when it comes to LeBron. And part of that may stem from the high ratio of LEBron haters to LeBron fans and the history of all that. The defense for LeBron from his fans sometimes become exaggerated, as well as the criticism from his haters as well. People need to realize this. That's all i'm saying.

    You don't think Wade, Bosh and Allen helped much in the overall context of the game? I mean all 3 of them scored 16+ pts each at an avg of 50%+ shooting. Bosh almost getting 10 rebounds.

    I mean other than the last 4 mins when Spurs had momentum and then Danny Green getting hot and then Heat players chucking up 3s because of fatigue or panicking (which led to the blow out at the end).

    the game was still winnable even when lecramp went to the bench.

    looked to me their intensity on defense just wasn't there and they took a bunch of bad shots.

    a loss is a loss.

    the spurs need to just cut down on the turnovers next game.

    Perfect responses from LeBron. Didn't make excuses, complimented the Spurs, and didn't throw his teammates under the bus.

    He really has matured.

    Chris Bosh shouldn't have to worry about the game cause he should be use to that type of heat since he's from Dallas.

    I think it would happen to any player that exited the court so "dramatically," even you have to admit it was a bit much

    Has he ever done any of those things? To my recollection, I don't remember a damning thing he's said in the past about losing a series or about teammates or whatever.
