The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This time LeBron had to make that pass. The shot would have had no chance and Haslem was an easy wide open pass. Damnit, all because a one inch difference from making that last LeBron basket a three. I really wanted James to finally have that moment where he makes the clutch shot to win the game, but it just continues to elude him.
True. Dev Harris with the clutch floater AND the clutch free throw.

How open was Lebron?
How open was Haslem?
How open was Haslem?
Haslem? Open. But LeBron was hitting shots in the 4th, he could have taken it.
Or players, considering the idiots on Neogaf think plays coming out of time outs at the end of games are "on the fly".
Pretty open but Lebron had 4.6 on the clock and the Jazz were only up by 1
A little bit of Lin rubbed off on him when Lin took his ankles last month.

Devin Harris wasn't afraid to take the last shot for his team.
Think about that.

Only at the end?? He shot from doubles all night and off center and made some crazy shots but the last shot no..
Make the right choice... Please
Lebron had two guys on him. Haslem was really open with a guy coming to close out. So obviously Bron should have pulled a Kobe and got blocked.

The vaunted Suns defense.

haha, Bron was going to get blocked? He had time to blow by his man to get to the hoop, too.
Haslem is shooting 32% outside 10 feet. Is that really the best option? I'd rather have Lebron take a contested shot when he's hot than long 2 from haslem who can't hit the ocean this season. If that was Bosh, I'd be fine with it.
Not afraid in that instance I think. Too smart of his own good. That was the right basketball play. When a guy gets played millions to play ball you would hope he can hit the open jumper with consistency.
He got blocked on almost the same play literally 2 minutes before that.
He should have willed the ball through Josh Howard's hand.

G***n S**n*bi
It doesn't matter on GAF. They will do anything to trash the best basketball player since Jordan.

That would have been dumb though, there might still be clock left if he makes it

LeBron had 4 seconds to get to the rim and make a better shot attempt.
Chris Bosh would have taken that shot.
Chris Bosh would have taken that shot.
I know about this, I watched that game, but he needs another one because the talk about it wont stop.
Just like I called it, everyone is going to get on him for deferring again and he'll be ripped apart tomorrow even though he was insane in the 4th and made some unbelievable shots, he can never win.
The offensive rebounds and 2nd chance points is what really killed us.
This too, but of no will remember or talk about it.

Tough call.
Technically, the correct thing to do was pass that ball. But I'd rather the best undisputed player in the game take the shot and maybe draw a foul or something even if he misses instead of having some lesser player do it.
so LOLBJ, basically.

Tyrone Corbin needs to start trusting G-TYME more.
I came away feeling cheated out of my due.
Bron has better skills (as long as you include athleticism as a skill, i do) by far. Kobe has the mind though.
Kobe can't play defense, pass, rebound or block shots like Lebron.
Kobe can only score on a team stacked with all-stars and solid players. Congrats to the shit mamba.

No one is blaming Lebron for the loss. Wade deserves blame for that moreso, no doubt. Lebron carried them in the 4th and made it a game.
That said, Lebron had 3 more seconds to go to the hoop with no one defending the lane and deferred to a guy who can't shoot to take a long shot. It just shows how afraid of missing he's become.
He should have put his head down and gone to the hole.

Shot clock and game clock are off. I smell a conspiracy!!
There were three seconds left, he could have easily gotten around Jefferson and to the basket.

Jazz's great first half and LeBron's amazing second half are going to be completely overshadowed by narrative bullshit pushed by the media, ugh.
Literally posting Kobe instead of Duncan smh.
