    He DID get the ball and made the best possible decision at the time......No one with a fukkin clue is going to agree that a player should be chucking up a desperation shot with 2 defenders all over him when he has a WIDE OPEN teammate next to him

    How is he going Iso with 2 defenders guarding him and a big guy down low waiting for him?

    At this point in time I'm actually pulling for Lebron and not hating. He is playing on another level this season no doubt but he needs to take control at the end and be the go to clutch finisher. If not then bow out and let Wade be the closer.

    Maybe he should have taken the shot, but nothing happens if Wade... 1) Hits his FTs, 2) Doesn't foolishly foul Harris twice and then looks so shocked that the ref called a foul on a superstar.

    OK, let me give you guys another perspective to rip on Spoelstra a little bit. Why didn't you draw a play to pass the ball to a cutting Wade instead of a 20 footer from a power forward?

    All the scared talk is funny.

    No use arguing with Lebron Haters. They have a cop out every which way.

    Lebron got a knock-down 12-16 foot shooter a wide open look. I'd rather have Haslem take that uncontested 14 footer over Kobe, Lebron, Durant, or Rose shooting what would have been a fadeaway over 2 guys. Wake up

    Yeah I really disliked LeBron after "the decision" but have grown to like him again. I wanted him to take it to the hole and finish the Jazz. He needs to do that. He gets fouled or makes the bucket (or both) at a very high rate there.

    I still can't stand Dwyane Wade, however.

    There is no fukkin designated closer in basketball......If Lebron is one-on-one at the end then hell yeah he should be taking the last shot......With 2 defenders all over him, the best decision you can make is dumping it off to a wide open PRO, and hope he can hit a shot he should make everytime

    Bron could have scored 100 tonight on Wilt's anniversary and someone would still find something to hate about. Wade missed a critical free throw, but he can do no wrong in many people's eyes, sad.

    UD could of swung it to Rio too, but the pressure of 4.5 secs running down makes you rush a little bit.

    That is UD's range, and can make those.

    Go down with the ship after being swarmed, or pass to Haslem for an open shot... I don't think he was scared, was he scared when he took those 3s in the final minute?

    BUT, he has to drive the ball and draw a foul or take a step back 3 for the game. He was the hot hand. Keep shooting. He did the same thing in the All Star game and is not only cheating himself but also basketball fans. Nobody was watching that game to see Haslem clank a game winning shot.

    I use to go see Jordan in Cleveland and Atlanta on many occasions and he entertained the crowd. He came through so many times in clutch time that it was commonplace. He deferred to Kerr and Hodges on occasion but very far and few between. Lebron does it all the dam time???

    Sure I'll welcome Lebron back in Cleveland with open arms. But I'd strap some big bull balls around his neck and force him to wear it wherever he went like a guy carrying a football that kept dropping the ball.

    If any other "superstar" does what Lebron just did......EVERYONE is saying "Wow, what a great look by Rose/Durant/Whoever, too bad PlayerX sucks and couldn't hit a wide open look!"

    That is a fact!

    They were double teaming him the entire 4th quarter and he still put up 17 points. Did you miss the ridiculous 3 he made then another unreal 2 off of 1 leg? Hell, Lebron killed the Pistons years ago going 1 on 5. He's a freak of nature, who the hell cares about a double team? He's always getting double teamed. Get to the dam hole and shoot the rock. People paid to see you hit the game winner not fukking Haslem...

    and yes Wade sucked monkey nuts down the stretch.

    What other superstar gives up the ball after making 17 points in the 4th quarter? What other superstar would pass the ball 3 times in the All star game in the final seconds when he was the sole reason the team got back in the game and was hot as hell?

    No other superstar gets criticized because no other superstar is going to pass the rock when they have the hot hand. If Haslem had 17 points in the 4th then I'd have no problem...

    Then your ripping him for bricking a forced shot in a double team.
    Who says he gets a foul call, I was seeing a lot of banging going on and no calls being made both ways.

    The All-Star game shouldn't even be mentioned, that is fuking exhibition, and people just brew up more Lebron hate with it.

    Wade really fuked the Heat tonight, and fans are watching to see the team win, no matter who sinks a game winner.

    Lebron is who he is.....He is basically a physical beast with a scoring point guard mentality......He did nothing wrong there and gave his team a great look to win the game

    Just watched the play again. Lebron could have easily drove to the basket. Heyward would have closed in then he'd have passed to a cutting Wade. If anyone has league pass watch the play again.

    Not hating but it's funny as hell when the commentator says: He passed it again! I'm stunned he gave it to Haslem, who has 4 points on the night. Great job Jazz for leaving Haslem open.

    Admit it or not, he didn't want to take the last shot.
    His desicion was correct, coz he found his open teammate at his spot.
    I am not a fan of James, but tonight i wanted him to score the last bucket. He deserved it. But he didn't try at all.
    I is mentaly weak, i guess. Hope to work on it and come out strong.

    Basically what the haters are saying is that Lebron needs to be selfish and take the last shot....Oh shit..i forgot when Lebron did take the last shot the last time they said he was selfish and shouldve passed...
