    regardless of who's fault it is, he's always going to catch most of the blame.


    he said he goin win 7 titles. he brought onto himself.

    People always hear what they wanna hear but dont take in context.

    He didn't guarantee anything. What he literally said was "I believe we can wing multiple titles if we play like we should."

    Is that boastful? Or is that just basically repeating what EVERY professional sports analyst and most fans were saying when they were put together,

    It's on tape, go listen.

    You interview any member of the Thunder right now about their future and potential of winning multiple championships, don't you think they'll say something similar?

    The "not 1.. not 2... not 3..." ? was just playing to the crowd. It's not like he was bragging and puffing his chest out to the world, the entire crowd was Miami season ticket holders. ESPN just chose to televise it. 20 years ago, you wouldnt even have seen footage of that, ESPN was just doing their part to demonize the Heat.

    Think about it, how many people wouldn't dislike Lebron if there was no "decision" or "not 1.. not 2..." Without that, Lebron would've been like EVERY other player who leaves after a contract.

    While The Decision and the "Not 1, Not 2" made people dislike LeBron a lot more, duke has always been polarizing as hell because people hate the hype he got.

    That is the TRUE definition of hating. Hating on someone just because they are good or get attention. That's a female trait. He didnt control the hype the media gave him.

    Bron did his thing it's Wade out there getting burnt up on defense and not looking explosive at all on Offense

    only thing i do wanna see from Bron is guard KD in key situations ....u 1st Team All-Defense and u nowhere to be found on KD in the heat of the moment .. Really bruh Battier? come on dog u 1st team all-defense u gotta get on KD when it counts

    Problem is they had LBJ on RW.
    And Battier on Durant......and I saw this ? Wade guarding Fisher when he was in during the fourth, ? was ridiculous.

    Spo needs to tell LBJ to get on Durant and Wade to guard RW, ? is pretty simple.

    no its not that simple....wade knee is hurting him right now. plus even though rus was having a poor shooting night, he was consistently getting around wade/chambers when they were on him and breaking down the defense, getting everyone easy buckets. he ended the night with 11 assists ....

    and really the heat don't have the personnel or shot blockers to shut down the lane for rus and to keep kd from going off.... than you gotta worry about harden once he gets going when all 3 are on the floor together....smdh

    yea bron could match up with kd one on one and maybe slow him down. but than that means he is going to have to expend a ton of energy defending the league's best scorer and stay out of foul trouble than he has to stay aggressive and score on the other end of the floor.... that's a heavy burden for any man to bear....

    if the heat do end up losing this series but lebron plays like he did in game 1 with a hobbled wade, he deserves none of the blame. he can't do everything.... dude aint a robot


    yes he can be cocky, mentally fragile and dude has been hyped up, but give bron a break. basketball is still a team sport at the end of the day.... just enjoy him for what he is. a superbly talented basketball player

    I don't get it He always gets calls yoknowhatimsayin like like this ? can drive and get touch and they will call a foul 95% of the time on the D. The only thing about that is he gets tired by the 4th by drivin the lane all the time. See what he need to do is actullay has some Skills Like a real Jumpshot or umm Post moves ? the doesn't exert alot of energy

    Their problem is that Wade doing do anything constructive with the ball on offense, he just kinda wings that ? and hope it ends up in a bucket. Bosh can do work if he's hitting jumpers, but if not he's kinda useless. Lebron is going to have to be more aggressive if they continue losing games because of the ineffective play of everyone else that isn't Lebron. We'll see how they adjust though, it was only 1 game and there's still 6 more to go (this series is going 7 games imo).

    ? still bringing up Lebron last 2 years in Leaveland when they had the best record(does not translate to best team). Have y'all paid any attention to the Cavs the last 2 yrs? And what has Moe Williams done these last 2 seasons?

    ATTENTION: This is not about agression.. THIS IS ABOUT A ? WITH A BROKEN JUMPSHOT... IF he starts off going to the rack the defense will adjust and make it difficult for him.. He tries to mix it up by shooting jumpshots to start to tighten the D so he can get is drive game going..

    IF BRON GETS A JUMPSHOT HE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE...

    ? been If'n for 9 years

    That wasn't my point, folks made it seem like since Mo was an all-star that Lebron had help/a good team. Which is not true.

    "Not being an allstar doesnt make you worthless" that goes both ways.
