Thank you. This one was on D Wade. He'll bounce back from it, he's a great player. Sunday would be a great time and place. At age 30 I like how Wade is embracing the "enforcer" role this season.

What the Fuck is a Per?LeBron currently holds the highest single season PER in NBA History. If the season ended today, then yes, he would have played this year at a level that has not been reached by any player in NBA History. Hence the part, "if he continues to play at his current level"
Stans are mad because of the inferiority complex that they feel because their favorite player was never as good as LeBron but don't let envy that you have deter you from witnessing LeBron's historic season.
55% FG
42% from 3
28 PPG 8 RPG 7 APG
Looks like MVP #3 for LeBron
SMH @ per being you argument... Does that calculate the Arm bar, Hand checking and Hands on players chests to not allow a player to Move..?
Or does it only calculate in a league where u cant touch players AT ALL While driving to the basket...?
When Lebron has a season like this:
33ppg, 8assts, 8rebs, 3stls, 1.2blks while shooting 54% fg's and 85% ft's Like MJ did.
OR comes Close to a 70 and 20 game like Mike did (69pts and 18rebs)
In a League WHERE you can HAND CHECK AND FUCK NIGGAS UP ON THE COURT THEN LET ME KNOW.
Nigga turn 12 Already.

No one is blaming the loss on LeBron.. Folks are blaming him for having NO HEART.
wasnt this said after Shaq left?

I thought you Kobe fanatics said rings are all that matter? Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7...
Who's gonna stop Bron this decade? Old ass Kobe?
Homie yall praying and wishing yall see another Finals. Begging ninjas like Paul and Dwight to come to LA. Yall wanna be Miami so bad. Seriously. Yall want that spotlight back. Lakers are an afterthought. Clippers got a bigger buzz than yall. The only thing you can hope for is a win at home tomorrow in the REGULAR SEASON against a Bosh-less Heat to ease the sting. Even so, it wouldnt even be the headline. It'll be LeBron lost or some shit.
2 people can stop Lebron: Mr. Fourth Quarter and Mr. Last Shot To Win the Game. They are pretty good too.
why? they havent won anything.
Because they get all the attention and glamour and glitz of being the league's flagship team. Even in defeat, they are the lead story. A spot the Lakers and their fans are accustomed to. Its not a coincidence Laker fans are the primary haters of LeBron James.
By the way, I think this decade we will see New York "Laker fans" go back home and be Knicks fans again when they fall off. I just dont remember so many NYers riding with LA in the 90s.

If you think Miami is the flagship team of the league, you must really be 12 years old.
If you think the Lakers aren't gonna quit on Mike Brown eventually, you must be really naive. No excuses in 2012.
Im not a Kobe fanatic. But yeah, rings are All that Matters so..I thought you Kobe fanatics said rings are all that matter? Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7...
MJ >>>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe >>>>>>>>>> Lebron
Who's gonna stop Bron this decade? Old ass Kobe?
Who stopped him last year? Himself.
SMH
you sound emotion...Homie yall praying and wishing yall see another Finals. Begging ninjas like Paul and Dwight to come to LA. Yall wanna be Miami so bad. Seriously. Yall want that spotlight back. Lakers are an afterthought. Clippers got a bigger buzz than yall.

I started to reply, but then I saw the participants, and I knew all I would see was slurping
Why the fuck would the Lakers give a fuck about Lebron and Miami, OKC I can understand. Boston I can understand.
How old is DWade?
How old is Lebron?
Are they going to win 15 titles?

And yet you still did reply. A hit wolf always hollars. You guys can downplay Miami all you want, but this game means the world to you. The biggest home regular season game for the Lakers this year. I imagine its a hot ticket in Staples. Lakers arent good enough to meet a Miami in the Finals. They wont make it out of the west AGAIN. So this is probably the last time in 2012 we will see these two on the floor.
Stop being a fucking emotional child. We arent talking about Wade. The name of this thread is Lebron James. Why the fuck are you even talking about Wade. Stop deflecting. Ive already murdered Wade in RELEVANT threads. Lebron has had the ball in his hands consecutives times at the end of the games and has failed to pull the trigger and the shit has NOTHING to do with Wade...whether wade fouled or missed free throws didnt change the fact that Lebron ran from the last shot. i dont give a shit about the finals and didnt even mention it in this thread. I want Lebron to get beyond this shit but it is obvious by anyone who is objective that closing is NOW in his head. he cares too much about what other people think.
How bout them Bobcats? They gonna get double digits in the win column this year?
This is true
Lebron is held to a higher standard but its all good.
As he should be cousin... muthafucka is too good to be bailing opponents out.
Exactly. He was the reason they got back in the game...dude was 8-9 in the 4th... dude should have not deferred again...he also should have gotten the rock in a better position but he still should have created and attacked the basket.
We will never see another player get 5 championships
What people fail to be able to understand is that there are two approaches to shooting game winning shots.
Approach one is one that has been shoved in our faces for the last 20 years, and thats the hero approach. This involves giving the ball to your hero and have him save the day.... But what some of you guys don't realize is teams that take this approach usually have certain things in commons.... 1- Great rebounders, Kobe had Shaq, now Pau and Bynum, Jordan had Rodman and even his centers could rebound.... 2- Great outside shooters to keep the defense honest, these are the people they could defer, if the defense gets too aggresive..
Jordan had Kerr, Hodges, Paxton and others, while Kobe had Horrey, Fisher, Ariza, Odom and others...
Now lets see how the Heat line up fits this mode... Well for one they don't have a illegitimate rebounder, last night in particular they were very undersized with Bosh out and their tallest regular player at only 6.9 vs a team who out rebounded them 50 to 32 and the Heat had only 8 offensive rebounds...
The Heat was also missing one of their go to jump shooter in Bosh the closest thing they have right now to that consistant outside shooting third threat.
The next approach to winning games in the crunch is the team approach, this involves taking the last shot as if you would take any other shot... Meaning you look for the open man with the best opportunity to shoot... This approach was the law of the land until Jordan came along, because if you look at Magic, Bird, Kareem approach to the game it was always team first..
With this approach you are looking for high percentage as opposed to shoot pray and if all goes wrong crash the boards..
This approach is great for teams who are weaker at rebounding and a team with average but not great outside shooters...
Now if you look at the personnel of the Heat roster they floored last night and open your mind to realize that there is more than one effective method of dealing with last sec shots. Then you will understand why the Heat did what they did...
Hey they been doing it all year and they are 4-1 and if Haslem were to make that very make able shot they would be perfect, in my opinion I'd rather take those odds over a hero who shoots 24% during last sec shots in the playoffs.

I notice you didnt answer the question. Kobe doesnt have the heart to lead the Lakers to titles anymore. And most NBA fans dont have the heart to hold him accountable for it. Dude gets swept out of the playoffs then the following year BGOL dudes talking bout how "clutch" and how much a "killer" he is.
RR... people arent failing to understand that. This is the second game in a weeklike this where Lebron was crazy hot... you gotta get that shot off. Yes.. haslem was open....but dude hadnt taken a shot in a while....he was cold... yeah he was open but a player who hasnt shot in a while has a tendency to miss that shot... Lebron was 8-9 in the 4th.... I fault coaching for not drawing up a better play....and i also fault Lebron for not aggressively attacking the basket....dude is a superstar.... he will get off a good mid range shor OR get the benefit of the whistle but he never even forces the officials to blow the whistle... well I wont say never...it has only been recently...
Note: look at how most successful college teams approach last sec shot, its always get the ball to the open man.. This is a proven system that has worked for years.
And for those who think James dont have any heart fail to remember that under the Cavs system they took the hero approach and James had no problem taking the last sec shot.

If anything it is obvious that LeBron is NOT letting this get to him.
Despite all of the criticism that is coming from people, LeBron continues to play his game and he's playing it better than he's ever played it throughout his career.
Fans these days are so caught up in the low IQ basketball play that they don't understand when a guy makes the right play (like LeBron did at the final possession last night)
Hopefully LeBron continues to play his game and make the plays that are in the best interest of team success opposed to plays like stans and a lot of fans in this thread want to see (15 second isolation plays with fadeaway 25 foot 3s over multiple defenders)
Like Road Rage said, "hero ball" (which loses more than it wins) is what people want to see these days. Hopefully LeBron doesn't fall into the trap.

Stanning.
Repetition doesnt mean shit. If a drunk continues to drink, despite not wanting to and crying every night because he knows he shouldnt doesnt indicates that he doesnt care. It indicated that he hasnt solved his problem. Lebron is even moping about his issues on fucking Twitter. It is obvious that he fucking cares. He even admitted he didnt leave his house for weeks after the finals because of how he played and the way the media reacted to..HIS WORDS so there is no speculation as to whether or not he cares about public opinion... take that bullshit to children..it is obvious he cares from his actions and he own words..he has already admitted the media reaction to his play rattled him.
Stats dont mean shit if you dont win titles. Lebron would have a title right now if he didnt bitch up in the finals.
I have already admitted that he is having an all-world year STATISTICALLY, but the heat wont win title(s) until he solves his big stage issues.
Keep stanning if you want. I am a fan of the game not of players..and a real fan should be disgusted with a rare talent like Lebron continuously deferring in the big moments.
And fuck outta here about IQ...him passing at the end of the game on the all star was the lowest decision on the IQ pole... and lebron generally has extremely high IQ... his problems now are particular to last possession with the game on the line..which is ironic because it is not a problem he started with..he has developed it..
He isnt being asked to play hero ball... he is asked to ride his hot hand, exceptional talent, and create a play for himself FIRST and an teammate second considering his scoring ability, high shooting percentage and superstar status where he will get the whistle...dont you fucking thick-headed muthafuckas understand THAT is the high IQ way.... he isnt being asked to force shots... but at least look to take it... he should be passing because he is forced to in those situations..

LeBron James @KingJames
Man I have a sick feeling in my stomach right now! Really wanted tonight's game. I just had to make one more dang play out there.
Okay, since you want to challenge folks Basketball IQ. You're a NBA coach. Who do you want taking the last shot... A guy that's 8-for-9 in the quarter, or a guy that's made ONE jumper all night?
eewwll who is gonna beat LeBron and the Heat this season? Who is gonna stop them from winning the title in a 7 game series?
Possibly themselves like they did last year.
This team SHOULD have won last year. If they closed games, they would have already won a title. This is not a question of talent. It is a question of lebron playing his best when it matters. Dude is the best individual talent in the game, he plays that way when it truly matters and this team wins multiple titles... that is all I am saying.
All fine and dandy that he got them back in the game... but finishing means going hard until the final buzzer... it is the same in everything (sports, business, etc)...you have to go hard until the game is over... not until the last 24 seconds..

same person that beat him in the finals last year, same person who beat the east in the all star game, same person who just beat him in Utah.
What a cop out. Why not keep it 100 and just be honest and say "I dont know"? All this barking about what LeBron should be doing but you cant even tell me who is gonna beat them or is performing better?
same person that beat him in the finals last year, same person who beat the east in the all star game, same person who just beat him in Utah.
You'd think a Laker fan would say "Kobe will!" But nah, not no more. Your faith in your boy aint that strong no more. Yall know he aint got it in him to win a title at this point. He's not championship caliber without Phil. Its all stat padding and lifetime achievement awards from hence forth. Maybe yall can offer Phil 50 mill a year in the offseason and come back to "save" Kobe's career again.
How the fuck is that a copout? Last season they lost because they, particular Lebron, bitched out in the finals. He was also one of the main reasons they got there but he choked up in the finals.
You are asking me who can beat them.. themselves.. they have already proven that can play beneath themselves when it matters. Although that Dallas team did gel.. i dont for a minute think that Dallas was the better team... Miami didnt finish games... shit is not a copout.. you are talking like this team cant be beaten.. they can lose to any elite team (elite being top 5) just like they did last year.. fuck outta here... you are talking like this team has won titles
keep it 100? fuck outta here.. they choke up they might not even get back to the finals this season... like I said.. if Lebron doesnt come with his A game in the clutch, this team wont win period.. they can beat themselves but not showing up like they did in the finals...this team is NOT that good where they can coast and still win.

Like I said, YOU DONT KNOW. Thats all you had to say. Now run along and make another thread about Kobe and the 4th seeded Lakers. You live in the past, young NBA fans look to the future.
People want him to take those shots. Its simple as that.
They would be rather see him go 1 for 76 in a quarter than not take that last shout irrespective of the outcome.
And I would have preferred that he take that shot as well. Never mind that the pass he made was spot on. Never mind that Haslem had a great look. The fans want him to take that shot. Dont worry about detractors. They will be negative no matter the outcome.
