Pretty much. My initial reaction was pretty much OMG FAIL SO HARD but it really wasn't that terrible. Dude still should have driven to the hole, no doubt

Not shooting after a hot 4th is bad enough. Passing to Haslem tops it off. Thats like Kobe passing it to Artest for a 20 footer. Id rip him if he did that like im ripping lebron for this.
Good thing i dont have to worry about that with Mamba. I rather die with him shooting a contested jumper than giving it to anyone else for an open jumper minus Fisher

You know what would be awesome? If when LBJ is inevitably asked to explain the decision to pass (since the narrative will be about him losing the game), he takes care to reference Wade's poor decisions prior.
Man, if he threw Wade under the bus I think I'd pitch a tent.

Seriously.
If you are gonna declare yourself the King, you can't defer to a Knight with shit on the line.

I dunno about these. Maybe Dirk.
a knight? haslem's a pawn.

Or other players that are clearly inferior to Kobe.
How can LeBron be a King when he always takes at least three steps?

I really don't get it.
Lebron already took a monster CLUTCH shot with 27 seconds left that was absolutely absurd.

Somehow people forgot about that...
Give me a break guys. There is no way in hell Lebron had anything to do with losing this game.

The guy in your avatar had a fantastic 4th quarter up until...
It may seem unreasonable, but this is the standard you must live up to when you or the media starts comparing you to Jordan.

Every time Lebron passes up the final shot, he should shave a square inch from his head.
ryutaro's mama
Member
Oh, so since you made amazing shots, you get to take the final possession off?
What kind of logic is this?
Uh...Rudy Gay took the last shot tonight.
Did you see Durant last night? Played a monster 4th (had 18) and didn't have to defer.

What kind of logic is this? Sane logic. You sound like a fucking idiot right now.
Haslem was literally wide open on a shot he's made millions of dollars on. Lebron was doubled with 3 seconds on the clock.
Give it up.
No Bosh, they were killed on the boards.
Aren't you getting used to it by now?

holy shit @ this terrible call by the refs.
The standard of being so self-obsessed that you put looking good to nbagaffers over winning a game?
He's compared to Jordan, not Kobe.

I don't get it either. Why didn't he take another shot?????

Fisher...stop flopping.

You drive to the hoop, you don't pass it to the corpse of haslem
I'm sure you were thinking the same thing when we beat you guys in the 15-67 season
Hey, I said it was unreasonable, lol.

They can if the allow it. Odom's agent release a statement saying Odom asked to go to the D-League for a game and Mavs allowed it.
he still made the wrong play. he had enough time to get a better shot off at the rim. Look at the image posted.
not to mention, the game means nothing. What matters is the team's mentality come playoff time, and this type of ending hurts. Better for Lebron to drive and miss.
ayo the problem with shtting on lebron in the regular season right
you want to have it both ways
when he does gud, regular season dont matter, when something not so gud happens OMG HE SUCKS IN THE CLUTCH
fact not even legit unclutch mental cases give a shit about messing up in the regular season
literally i could go out there and take that open shot and no one would be mad that we lost to the utah jazz because it is literally meaningless
of course id totally hit that shot but uno

Brandi is probably still crying in his dungeon, so you might be right.
Just amazing how different tomorrow's story lines about this game could have been if the Heat had won. Everyone would be praising LeBron for not deferring, not backing down, and draining that off balance shot with 20 seconds left. Then he had to go and make the one completely opposite play that erases that shot and his insane 4th qtr performance from history and continues all the "he's afraid to make the crucial shot" talk.
Sucks how one bad play can outweigh all the amazing others. I really feel bad for him.

Or beat CJ Miles off the dribble like he had been doing all night.
I called LeBron deferring before the ball was even inbounded--check my posts.
Dude's kryptonite is pressure moments.
Always has been.

It was changed, veterans have to agree to it.
Another change will be starting next season there won't be any limit to sending players back and forth between the leagues. Currently a player can only go and come back to the NBA three times.
I've always downplayed the notion of playing differently when the game is on the line. A team should be seeking the highest percentage shot available at any given time.
In this case, I have no problem with Lebron making the intelligent basketball play. Had the shot fallen, it'd be considered a great play and a fantastic pass. But, as it often seems to for Lebron, luck didn't go his way, and he's ridiculed, despite a remarkable fourth quarter and clutch final minute.
Hatas gonna hate. Wade really fucked up with his shitty defense and missed free throw; he deserves the blame for this one.

What is the better play? Lebron going to the hole where no one is in the paint on defense or pass to a guy shooting 32% this season outside 10 feet?
Come on.

It's a great basketball play if you completely ignore the fact that Haslem can't shoot the basketball this year.
