Game 1 is the most meaningless game in a 7-game series. And Chuck, don't tell me he's the best player in the world when he's getting carried by a teammate late in these games.

How big was that half court heave 3 pointer Chalmers made at half time? It was back court violation that wasn't called.

C'mon this is weak. It's Dwayne freakin Wade, not John Starks. Probably the 2nd or 3rd best scorer in the world. You are holding him to a standard that cant possibly be met because you don't like him. I was never a fan of Larry Bird but I respected his game.

Why is LeBron being compared to guys with multiple championships?

He's not one of the greats. Deal with it.

he's still in the midst of his prime and had to carry a pretty bad team for years. Look at cleveland post Lebron... 23 straight losses or something like that?

I can understand not liking the guy or his "decision", but the talent is there and he's one of the best players in the league, if not the best. He also happens to play with one of the best players in the league, if not the best, so what's the big deal if D-Wade scores points at the end of games and Lebron makes assists?

Uncly...please don't get me started.

He probably has the most talent....but what you went on to say about when he was here and when he left,is not accurate nor pretty.

How many times do you think Cleveland makes the playoffs with out LeBron since the year they drafted him?

He should be compared to Charles Barkley, not Larry Bird.

pretty good summary

Quote:

Even with Wade's surge in the Finals, James remains the Heat's playoff leader in points, assists and steals, and is virtually tied with Bosh for top rebounder. None of that seems to matter at the moment. It's as if LeBron's big shots in closing out the Celtics and Bulls didn't get forwarded to his new address at the Finals.

I used Bird because I hated the Celtics and didn't like Bird. But you know that once they win a few rings you guys will come up with something else to harp on.

Nine points in three fourth quarters. If you think that's worthy of the best player in the world, we have different ideas of what that means. He's a great talent, but it's painfully obvious that he's not even the best player on his team. Wade is the reason they'll win this series if they win it.

Antitrust32 · #14 06-06-2011, 02:11 PM

you should let the series play itself out.

Lebron is a huge reason they are in the Finals to begin with. He's been the MVP of the playoffs so far along with Dirk.

This is below the belt. No one deserves to be compared to Watch.

That is probably true. Plus his hair is not in the same league

The reason people are talking about Lebrick not scoring is because people are calling him the best in the world. With lofty praise like that, he is going to be under the microscope.

The passing is great and he's been lights out in the playoffs so far. However, Wade is the closer on this team and it's apparent in the Finals. The best player in the world should be the closer on his own team. How can you be the best player in the world when you aren't even the best player on your own team?
