LeBron a playoff shark? ****! If he is he is a whale shark, which is not a maneater. He quit last year in the playoffs, got swept in the finals and both carries and hurts his team at the same time. Get real and quit drinking the league Kool-aid and the marketing which one might note has backed off the HEAT lately.
I don't think they are fixable without a deal. Maybe trade Wade, Bosh or James for the best PG/Big combo they can get. Note I would only trade one, and I would look for a young PG and a decent young big that doesn't need the ball. That would do them more good than say adding a shooter. Why would a shooter work? They are not enough shots as it is, folks, so this would not help them. This only compounds their problems and they still lack bigs.
One or one players dominate the ball. These guys over dribble. Play one on five against the other teams. They don't want to play team ball because they all lack maturity and have uber egos that they don't play team ball. Will this change? It would take a special coach to back down LeBron would have to be someone of Coach K 's level or more and its going to be hard to find. I agree with Roy they need toughness. We know LeBron is not tough, Wade was that one year but seems complacent, Bosh is not. It would take a well respected vet to get their respect and its going to be hard to find as well.
I called this wouldn't work for them months ago. LeBron is a career choke artist not a champion. It's a no brainer, I've seen him choke his whole career and his flawed game when I lived in Ohio. People fall in love with his stats and his EFF rating which is astounding. But looking good on paper and playing the games is two different things. They look all world on paper but they still got to play the games.
They only scare the easily scared. Which was most of this board a few months ago I might add.
