Terry denied LeBron the ball to on a few possessions. But seriously if they wanted to get LeBron the ball, they could have. And if he wanted the ball bad enough, he could of got it.
That and when he had the ball he gave it up. He isn't being aggressive at all this series. I don't know what's going on with him, I'm not sure if he's lost confidence in himself or he's just confused on what his role should be on this team but he needs to turn it around now.

I think more than anything he is just letting Bosh and Wade go. Where he should demand the ball from them, and make plays at times.

Yeah that's part of it but the times when he does try to score he's not even attacking the rim, which everyone knows that's what he's best at.

Layups and free throws are the high percentage shots. Dallas just did an outstanding job keeping LeBron James off the paint, not allowing him to do anything he wants, and forcing him to shoot from the outside.

In Game 5, LeBron has to demand the ball and make the plays like what DJT said. Those are times when the Heat have a great opportunity to win. Forcing turnovers are a great advantage for the Miami Heat; their defense has to be
aggressive and affective.

Dirk Nowitzki playing last night reminded me of Jordan's flu game. Thats what the superstars in the league do. They play when its all on the line, no matter the other circumstances and he showed up and showed up big time.

Dirk played well enough. Got the win, still had 19 points. Only missed 1 FT, and it wasn't in crunch time. Grabbed some good boards. He played fine.

He shot like 30% from the field, that's not playing well

Played WELL ENOUGH. He didn't need to score any more than he did. It would have been nice, and he was cold for most the time, but he dropped 10 points in the 4th and they got the W.

Considering he had the flu, 21 and 11 is pretty solid.,

21 points isn't solid when you get it the way he did

So if he would of went 1-2, you think that would be a better game?
