Channing Frye of the Suns 0-10 in the first half and he has 10 rebs. Did he rebound all of his missed shots?

Great play and execution. Haslem just didn't hit the shot.

No doubt that play was drawn up that way. Just watch it. Lebron takes the ball left and Harlem pops up. Pops to the line. No reason to go there if its not drawn up that way. You'd go to the bucket to get the board.

He even fucked up a possession in the post when he had 6'2'' Randy Foye guarding him.. He backed him down and tried to get too pretty... As Frye went to spin around for the shot, Foye knocked the ball away

I don't usually stick up for lebron. But in this case I think, he should have taken the shot, they drew up a stupid play. Out coached yourself. Hell yea they are gonna leave anyone not named lebron or wade open.

But I would agree if you said lebron should say fuck you to the coach and just take the shot regardless of what's drawn up. And should have

It doesn't matter what Spolestra "drew" up. LeBron(or at the very least, Wade) HAS to take that shot.

It's not about saying f you to the coach, it's about being the BEST.

And that is why I won't put him there.

So if he takes that shot and misses, you say he's the BEST?

No.

But if he consistently at least makes an effort to take the shot, take the game in his hands, then he can become the best.

Everyone knows the quote from MJ.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
He will never get to that level because he REFUSES to take the shot.

I'm saying he should have taken it regardless. But that play was ran the way it was drawn up.

And if he takes it and misses... Everyone is killing him for missing. It's stupid

But since wade has a ring he can't be blamed or criticized????
Seems unfair since you laker fans were tearing into odom about needeing to get his legs back. Don't talk bad about him, he has rings.

He has taken the last shot a lot though. Just never makes them, outside of the shot vs the magic and I think one against Sacramento???

I almost forgot how wet Jimmer was.

And then he hits a 3 from the C in the Staples Center logo. A good 5 feet behind the arc.

MWP has 15.

I don't think he scored 15 in the 5 previous games.

He's passed them up more than he's taken them. I think that's the beef.

He's fine chucking up shots throughout the game, but when the game is on the line, he'd rather pass to Udonis Haslem.

He hit one against GSW when the Cavs had their 66 win season, I believe.

Why is Channing Frye 2/18 from the field?

Why has he taken 18 shots?

And how are the suns winning despite that?

This.

Honestly, look at the best players on every team. They don't pass in the clutch.

I can't wait for Sunday.

I just hope that Saturday night(Heels) goes well and then Sunday is the icing on the cake. Or as my high school coach would say, "gravy train".
