Media Should Not Blame James Tonight

Lebron is a loser

Not a LeBron hater like most, but he was a -23 tonight. He didn't play that well. Needed a much better game from him if the Heat were going to win.

After that preseason pep rally and their sheer arrogance Miami deserves everything the media shells out. Today is gonna be a great day to watch ESPM.

Dallas had like 8 really good players
Heat had 3 maybe

too much

this coaching disparity stood out to me. not to say lebron wasn't horrible in late stages. but riley, jackson, and many other coaches would have solved that zone other than lebron and wade playing one on two or three. you have the leagues leading 3 point shooter riding the pine in j jones. mike miller is very capable. you aren't stopping dirk anyway so go small. spot up bibby and jones and occasionally mike miller. all u see of spoelstra is "its a battle. its a war out there. keep fighting." a little more to coaching than just that. its called adjustments. the one reason im not too mad they didnt win is now he is easier to fire...

Heat whole team played bad

I don't think over all Dallas was all that impressive in any game outside of the big come back

Well they are obviously going to blame the 3 knuckleheads

Give me a break. James deserves the lion's share of the blame and not just last night but the entire series. He choked in a spectacular fashion.

The rest of the blame falls on Spolestra. This guy is in way over his head.

how many times does lebron need to be a no show for his supporters to admit that just maybe they might have been wrong about him

why cant some people see what we see? yes lebron has some athletic abilities, but lets just leave it at that, he is no king, he is not one of basketballs greatest, and he will never be, he will never lead a team to the promised land, the only way he will be able to get a ring is if someone else wins it for him, wade and bosh almost won it for him but come on, heat were playing with a four man team, if james had helped just a little bit they might have had a chance

He certainly didn't shoot with confidence. Even he was hot at start of game, you can see his shooting motion was not very natural. When he started missing, he just wanted to get rid of ball as quick as possible.
