Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

He did put up some great numbers:
35pts 10 boards, 9 assists and 3 steals. He is a major stud.


Looking just a little deeper: Miami pulled within 10 pts with 5:18 to go in the fourth. Then he took over. He:

missed both free throws (sounds familiar)
3 rebounds
Shot 1-5 from the field (including two missed layups)
1 foul.

He's rounding into playoff form.

About a minute and a half to go, free throws:

Celtcrips- 23
LeTurnover- 22

Fuck the nba.

the heat average around 10 more ft's per game than their opponents, which is also skewed due to them fouling a lot at the end of a few games. it's absolutely pathetic. of course, david stern has implemented the new rule that if you even look at an official the wrong way after a call, no matter how shitty, it's a technical.

i wonder how much of a coincidence that is.

Don't forget 0-5 from 3-point land, including one in crunch time that hit the side of the backboard. :rofl:

Scathing article by Adrian Wojnarowski - here are the highlights:http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/expertsarchive?author=Adrian+Wojnarowski

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-celticsheat111210

Yes, they?re getting to know each other. With two horrific losses within three days at American Airlines Arena, the Heat are mortified to find themselves fighting to stay above .500, and Spoelstra is getting to know his superstar, LeBron James(notes). Chris Bosh(notes) came and went, Dwyane Wade(notes) stood in the corners and watched. Most of all, James found himself in postseason shape, closing a loss to the Boston Celtics with a missed layup, two missed free throws and a corner 3-pointer off the side of the backboard.
The world?s bearing down, times are tumultuous, and James is the one Heat star in playoff form.
?For myself, 44 minutes is too much,? James declared. ?I think Coach Spo knows that. Forty minutes for D-Wade is too much. We have to have as much energy as we can to finish games out.?
There you go, Coach Spo.
Get to know him well.
Two days earlier, James had done nothing in overtime and ultimately decided the difference was a Hall of Fame coach, Jerry Sloan, who knew exactly what the Heat were going to do. James never takes responsibility, never says, ?I?m the MVP and I need to do more.? He didn?t do it in Cleveland, and he?s never going to do it in Miami. Now, 44 minutes in a grudge game with the Celtics is too much. Always an out, always an excuse.

:slappy: How much rest did he think he was going to get with three max contracts and a bunch of scrubs on the roster?

Boston believes it can bully these Heat, believes they?re susceptible to games of the mind and body. When it was over, Big Baby Davis marched out of the showers and declared: ?No one can spoil this night. Good for us to come in and spank that ass.?
As the Celtics hung around town for a couple days before the game, they loved hearing the Heat lament about how tough teams had been on them, how they?d been targeted for physical play. So the Celtics started laying out Miami players with forceful screens, flagrant fouls and crushing shots at the rim. They harassed Wade into missing 10 of 12 shots and made James work for his 35 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

:cheers:

Frequent isolations are reducing Wade to an offensive sidebar, and the death of ball movement is turning these Heat into something so eerily familiar with the Cleveland Cavaliers: LeBron, and four guys watching LeBron.

No, the Heat just acted that way. They act surprised that people want to pop them in the mouth, that TVs and websites crackle with disdain for them. All those players like Eddie House(notes) who thought they were going on tour with a rock band? They?re now under the kind of daily national ? even global ? examination that they?ve never experienced. No one ever cared whether House missed a week?s worth of 3-pointers in the past. Now it?s dissected and digested everywhere.
And let?s face it: They?re getting buried because of LeBron. Now, they?re the bad guys, and they?ve never had to deal with the thickness of that haze. They turn on the television, the Internet, and people are wishing ill, reveling in the small failures of a young season. In a lot of ways, James is cut out for it. He?s oblivious. He surrounds himself with so many yes-men, so much skewed perspective, that his lack of self-awareness almost benefits him.

:tibor:. He's not called "LeQuit" for nothing. Then again, Miami should have known this is what they were getting--if he wanted to be The Man night in and night out and have responsibility on his shoulders, he wouldn't have left Cleveland for the easy way out in Miami.
