LeBron honestly doesn't scare me. like, as a fan, when guys like Kobe, Wade, Dirk, Pierce, Durant, Howard have the ball, no matter how poorly they've played throughout the game, I always feel like they're going to make the next shot. Like they're just one jumper or drive to the rack away from getting ready to take shit over.

I just don't feel that from LeBron anymore. all he's going to do is pass it off because he doesn't have the stones to do anything. Amazing talent, terrible mentality

i dont like skip bayless, but he always makes this point that i agree with.
he says lebron shoots jumpers late because he doesnt want the pressure of mandatory free throws

i dont think that applies for this game specifically, but in close games it does
you're right. he usually passes. or if he does shoot, it's an awful 3 pointer no matter the score

oh God, thanks for reminding me.

I have to watch First Take tomorrow. and the Herd. Gotta see what Cowherd says about LeBron since he's been licking the Heat's nuts all year

Skip Bayless does actually make sense with his stuff. He sounds really over the top and bizarre some times but usually he has a point and it goes hand and hand with the games. Cowherd just tries to be different and get a reaction by loving the Heat/LeBron.

there was an interview a while back where Skip basically admitted that he's a journalistic troll and says things that he doesn't really think just to get a reaction.

ever since he said that, he's become my hero haha.

He's really close with him though.. Chris' main source around the NBA is Mav Carter.

I like the fact that before Game 4 LeBron was ''trying'' to motivate the team to focus on Game 4 and play Miami Heat basketball when LeBron James only scored 8 points and blaming it on his teammates.

This is really a huge joke. LeBron talks about how he really deserves a ring and that his team could win it all the way because the Miami Heat have 3 superstars.

Also, on that last play of the game LeBron sitting in the corner just chilling and doing nothing to have a possible chance of winning the game. He should of been really disappointed in himself for not playing the game he does best at and knowing that Dirk had a fever. Deja vu when Dirk hits a wide open layup in the 4th quarter with about a minute or two in the game.

My question is: Does Dallas ACTUALLY have a chance to win this series? Miami's been the better team in all four games, but it's tied 2-2. So is that a good sign for Miami or a good sign for Dallas? Not interested in biased opinions.
