Tough miss on that 3. Lucky for me, though.
I hope this series ends in 4. I really don't want this snoozefest to drag out longer than it has to.

They went for the win and that's what Marshall get's paid for. Lebron didn't have a great game and he did his job on the play and drew the defenders.
Nah **** that. Lebron is the superstar. The Franchise. Anything short of a quadruple team should mean he takes the last shot. No matter what. If kobe drove the lane and dished a pass out to Smush Parker for the game winning shot, he would get RIPPED. Who Cares if 3's are the only thing Smush is halfway decent at. Kobe takes the game winner everytime. Vince Carter atleast tries to take the game winner, when he isnt bouncing the ball off of his foot. Your Superstar has to take the gamewinner

I wasn't calling you out. As I said, the Warriors are fun to watch, I was just making a point as to why I like one style of play over the other.methodman said:
It's not like I turned off the TV when the Warriors played. I watched practically all of their games during these playoffs.
Anyway, Marshall had a perfect look. Tough luck for the Cavs.
The more I watch LeBron the more I dislike him. Not only has he been annointed by the media before he even took a shot in the NBA, he willingly accepts that annointment and fancies himself the next Jordan yet he has absolutely no interest in earning that status. After 4 years in the league he still doesn't have a consistent jumpshot, his FT shooting is average, he hardly even tries and, worse of all, he seems to shrink under pressure (the one trait all of america despises in it's sports heroes).
Or perhaps the worst part is that he doesn't care at all.

Adelman to the Rox. Nice to see a great coach back in the league

They went for the win on the road in a series there supposed to lose and that takes balls. Lebron trusts his supporting cast to help him win games, especial games like tonight were he didn't play very well. Kobe tries to win every game by himself and look were he's at bounced out of the playoffs. Lebron has taken his share of game winners, he won two games last year against Washington on last second shots last year. He also won a game on the same play as tonight last year against Washington. He can't take every shot or else teams are ust going to be sitting on him
You're right. And always going for the game winner and ignoring your teammates has really done wonders for both Kobe and Vince these past few years, hasn't it? I can't wait to catch that Lakers game this week... oh, wait. Nevermind. At least Carter's still playing.... uhhh... hm.ColdBlooded33 said:
The fact of the matter is that if Marshall made that play then everyone would be singing Lebrons praises for having the foresight and trust to dish the ball. I make it a general rule to never rip athletes for decisions made in situations where they're heroes if it works out. I rarely rip on football coaches for going for 2 to win a game and I won't rip on Lebron for dishing for the game winner.
You know if Marshall made that shot some of us would be making fun of Bron for passing it, but a lot of people would be talking about his "great defense recognition and the willingness to share the glory."
It was a good play and marshall blew it.
damn I got beaten by the guy above me, it was like the exact same post

The reason the Cavs are still around is because they basically got a firts round bye, and played a nets team that didnt deserve to be in the playoffs in the first place. The Pistons SLEPT this whole game and stil beat the Cavs. LeBron has to take over the game. He cant be passing to Role Players. He had a good look at the rim on that last drive. And no doubt he can finish there. He has to take the shot. He isnt steve nash, he isnt a point guard, he doesnt have the help around him to pull that shit.
Why do people keep making excuses for him. If he was a rookie or a second year player then thats fine. He is a Vet at this point, and its not his first time around in the playoffs like you said.
He doesnt have that killer instinct at all. At least pull a D-Wade and drive and go for the rim enough to get you at the foul line in the second half if your shot isnt going down. Ill bash D-Wade day in and day out but he does have that look in him during the 4th quarter. you can see he will do what it takes to get the win, even if its all by himself

Because they need something to talk about before the next game. That and Barkley rarely if ever say's a good thing about Lebron.

Lebron's a chump. The REAL no. 23 would have never passed it in that situation.

I'd rather have Marshall take his signature shot than LeBron with Pistons defense all around him. LeBron made the right move.
Poor officiating again giving the favored team the game.
