Heat are just LeBron and Bosh. The rest are useless.
That's the bottom-line --- this series in a nutshell is James/Bosh vs a deep Spurs club.

By the way -- assuming a Spurs victory, who gets the MVP? Duncan for sentiment plus he's still their foundation or....well I cld name a few other who deserve it., which is basically the point.

deep inside Guido territory
LeBron must think he died and ended back in Cleveland. You think he's excited to re-up with this crew? There's no way Wade is going to decline the option so he's stuck there. Bosh would get a max deal on the market so why would he take less or opt out? The Big Four talk is that: just talk. LBJ should opt out and get out of this long-term mess.

James disappeared in that second quarter when his team needed him. He has a penchant for doing just that. Nice first quarter, though.

Duncan, Manu, Parker, Leonard are all very good to great
Boris, green, mills, splitter are all good
Even bonner is a tall 3 point specialist

Put all that talent into this brilliant system. God damn.

Did they not need him in the first quarter?

Miami may not reach the 60s......not necessarily hyperbole either. The Spurs defense is suffocating.

Just checking.
 
What has he done since? He's been terrible on defense and mediocre (i.e. not assertive - Parker is guarding him for chissakes) at best on offense. Oh. Just got burned again.

Yeah, he just doesn't care enough. You win.

I would be ok with the Heat reaching the Finals every season only to have this happen.

Not yet but getting close.  The Heat are simply being outplayed, out-coached and out-hustled.  I wonder if this putrid display by his teammates and coaches makes LeBron rethink his future.

And I love all the people here hating on LeBron.  He is the best player on the planet and its not his fault that he is up against the best run and coached team in basketball and perhaps even professional sports.
