Read my post, then try and come up with an educated basketball argument instead of saying no, you can't be serious or smh or whatever..Tiger2003;1200432 wrote:You really can't be serious.
he looks very valuable out there guarding derek fisher. maybe they should utilize him if he is so valuable. Like i said, how many games has lebron fouled out of?robj55;1200430 wrote:Correct, in terms of overall value in what he does on both ends. OKC has players that can explode on offense(Harden/Westbrook). Lebron has carried his team throughout the playoffs with Bosh being hurt and Wade being so inconsistent.
Miami better not come out slow, an OKC run is coming.Ironman92;1200436 wrote:This should be a tremendous finish.....Durant will get going, Westbrook will keep firing and when the Heat wear down he'll get his....Fish will hit a few.
Predictable prisoner of the moment, look at the totality, Lebron has showed up in every game and carried them. Can't wait to hear the over exaggerations by ESPN and crew if the Heat win, shit gets old the way they try to create drama by overreaction.Pick6;1200437 wrote:he looks very valuable out there guarding derek fisher. maybe they should utilize him if he is so valuable.

also, the past is irrelevant in this game. Wade has shown up and Bosh is healthy.
If he flat out told Spoelstra "I want to guard Durant" he would. Thats what Durant told Brooks about Lebron.robj55;1200221 wrote:Lebron needs to guard Durant tonight, but Spoelstra and the coaching staff make the defensive assignments, not the players. For not being a "great defender" Lebron held Melo to 30% shooting, Danny Granger to mid 30% shooting and Paul Pierce to 33%, not shabby against elite offensive wings.
Just a matter of opinion, he is asked to do more which to me is why he more valuable for what HIS team needs as in comparison to Durant. Not bashing your conclusion just stating mine.Pick6;1200442 wrote:also rob, nobody is saying lebron isn't valuable to the team. The fact that you say he is without a doubt more valuable than durant is ridiculous, however.
Miami playing hard as hell and attacking non stop.Hb31187;1200446 wrote:Just got home, what went on the first half? Thunder just playing bad or is Miami turnin the defense up and hittin shots?
Wade and Lebron finally figure out theyre not jump shooters lol?robj55;1200450 wrote:Miami playing hard as hell and attacking non stop.
Obviously, but my point stands, coaches make the defensive assignments, Lebron has guarded Durant tonight. That is what coaching is, making adjustments, as obviously it didn't work for them in game one down the stretch.Hb31187;1200445 wrote:If he flat out told Spoelstra "I want to guard Durant" he would.

Not settling at all, I mean at times you have to take jump shots to keep the D honest. Miami held OKC to 2 points in the first 8 minutes of the game or so.Hb31187;1200451 wrote:Wade and Lebron finally figure out theyre not jump shooters lol?
That and OKC missed a ton of early shots. Got down by 18 I believe.Hb31187;1200451 wrote:Wade and Lebron finally figure out theyre not jump shooters lol?
Wondering the same, he is better than Perkins for this match up.Terry_Tate;1200459 wrote:Wonder why Nick Collision isn't playing more? Is he hurt? Thought he did a good job in game 1.
