    Of course he doesn't need those guys. Miami has enough talent the problem is the other guys on Miami have not been playing up to par at all this series. Some of that is because of the spurs but a lot if
    Just on the Heat themselves. Whenever LeBron is out of the game I have no idea how the Heat plan to score or sustain a lead.

    LeBron rarely gets a pass - I would say why does Wade and Bosh get a pass when they are getting out played by the likes of Boris Diaw, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green.

    LeBron can't help his teammates make shots he sets them up as well as he can and they have to do the rest. They haven't taken their game up a notch whereas the role players on the Spurs have

    This has always been Lebron's weakness. He is fully capable of carrying his team (although he shouldn't have to) but sometimes he seems content with just losing and pointing at the stat sheet and saying it isn't his fault. It's as if he only wants to do as much as he thinks he needs to rather than picking up the slack.

    Then again, the Spurs are playing phenomenal and very few teams can beat them at this level.

    Seriously? Why don't you try that again bro. I don't get how Morey-ites are still blaming coaches when their leader openly diminishes their impact.

    Perhaps it says more about the model of "let's get 3 max guys and start planning parades" that everyone is so infatuated with? It requires guys making the max to play like role players, something they may not be that good at. I don't see how it's possible for the 3 guys to play up to their potential in that scenario. You're not getting your money's worth somewhere.

    I think you have to put blame mostly on his teammates.

    I don't recall Kobe haters ever giving Kobe excuses like "but he had no help" when he had guys like Smush Parker and Kwame Brown. It was just "Kobe failed and will never be Jordan". Complete 360 with Lebron?

    This thread is garbage. LBJ played out of his mind this series. Great teams just beat great players.

    One more note, no one is caring about Kobe in LBJ conversation with Jordan. Kobe at best is top 20, LBJ is in the the top 5 conversation.

    Lebron has been by far the best player in the series, but it takes 5.

    Hey LeBron... if you like playing with a flopping SG and a big man everyone loves to hate, gimme a call.

    3 finals series losses for Lebron.

    How can anyone have a go at Lebron after that? He was the only player on that Heat team that turned up. I don't care what player you put in that Heat lineup, there is nothing they could have done to drag that team to victory.

    What was he supposed to do? His team is not that good. They coasted to the Finals because the East is a joke. But he can't do it all on his own. Wade is not the same player anymore. Bosh makes superstar money but doesn't play like one. And the bench is anemic which BTW is what happens when 3 guys are taking up so much caproom(someone inform Daryl Morey of this as he pursues Melo).
