Lebron james terrified of driving the ball or taking a shot

The Special One · 06-09-11, 08:40 PM

its obviously designed... Dallas will turn game around, win to make it 3-2... lose game 6 to become 3-3... Heat choke at home game 7 to lose series 4-3..

Miami can destroy Dallas if Lebron wants to win, but it wont happen... they will win next year.

Because every time he thinks about taking it to the hole, he pictures Rashard Lewis taking it to the hole.

Absolutely terrified of taking a shot unless he is right at the rim.

3 seconds left and he passes the ball off to Bosh, 24 second violation.

cuz the NBA is fixed... you know this...

Look at Bosh drive the ball, why is James TERRIFIED of doing it?

James in the 2H will be more interesting to watch than in the 1st

Is Lebron playing tonight? Seems pretty passive to me once again.

Possession after possession, James is DESPERATELY looking for anyone to pass the ball to.

It seems like he was threatened that if the Heat win, something will happen to him or his family.

Everytime he touches the ball, scoring is the last thing he wants to do.

He did the same thing last year. Very unexplainable?

fix.

Notice how after he passes off the ball, he takes himself out of the play by moving back to center court.

He really is a terrible shooter as none of his shots are even close (all of his baskets have been layups).

He probably knows he can't make a shot, hence he's doing the smart thing by dishing off as often as he can.

This guy is NO SUPERSTAR.

come on people, dont you see he is purposely playing badly?? next year, he will be amazing..

lunchbawks · 06-09-11, 09:22 PM

heat can't still win? remember the mavs in the postseason?

After Lebron James passes off the ball, he either hides at half court or in one of the 2 corners.

I honestly think he's afraid to drive the ball. For what reason, I have no idea.

After Lebron passes the ball, look at what he does:

He wants absolutely no part of the offense.

Lebron rests on every play. Hes gotta man up.

Wade 12 free throw attempts to James's 2 even though Wade has missed half the game.

Since James could take 100 shots beyond 10 feet and miss them all, why doesn't he drive to the hoop and create a shot he can make?

Nowitski, Wade and Bosh are driving to the hoop every chance they get and James won't go near the rim.

There is no reason to believe anything will be different in Games 6 and 7 or all of the NBA finals game in the future that James plays in.

When you think about all the last minute shots that James has missed in his career (compared to Kobe Bryant who makes just about all of them), its become crystal clear that James is NOT a clutch player when it counts.

Look at James at the 5:16 mark of the 4th quarter, he just sits near half court for 10 full seconds.

Probably the worst triple double performance in the history of the NBA.
