Let’s not be too hasty. People were praising the Spurs after the 1st 2 games of the WCF. Now look at them. They’re on their way to the bahamas for a nice vacation. The series isn’t over yet. Boston has all the confidence in the world right now, but they still have to win 1 more game. If Bosch can play more minutes anything can happen.

Anyone with eyes and an IQ above 10 knows that LeBrick James is not a team player. His charade that brought him to Miami was a glaring and unforgettable exercise in selfishness. He is his own team. A team of one. And he is a gutless player in the clutch situation. I’ve named him the Shrinking Violet because he simply disappears when you need him most. If he can’t showboat a shot, he’s throwing up bricks when he bothers to show up. And how many games has Miami lost because they’ve come up three or four points short. Look at how dreadful LeBrick is at free throws. The points he misses are often times the margin of their losses in clutch games. What you have here is a player who needs to be shipped off to some place like Charlotte that has no one and where LeBrick can shine as the ultimate prima donna. He won’t elevate the play around him, but he’ll sell tickets and he’ll score 50 points losing.

I’m not much of a Wade fan but he appears to at least play the game. But Wade desperately needs a team of unselfish supporting cast members who will feed him the ball and who will rise above their individual competence every now and then. Wade isn’t succeeding because LeBrick never rises above his talent and ever does a Michael Jordan with the flu type of performance. It is likely LeBrick with the flu would be like a NyQuil commercial – LeBrick in bed and his teammates thankful.

With that said, the Heat’s coach is a clueless twirp. He is often out-coached and is simply not ready for prime time. He isn’t motivational and no one fears him. Even worse, he isn’t very good at strategy and is out-coached repeatedly during games – unable to push his team and to counter the adjustments the other team makes. And, it is becoming apparent that he can’t bring a team into a winning situation when it develops a losing inertia. He can’t get his players to play better than they are able to individually – he rarely has any player seize control of the game and even gaudy numbers by LeBrick are meaningless down the stretch – he can’t manage one of the most selfish, repugnant, and overpaid players in NBA history. Clearly the Heat coach is testicularly challenged and is a mere mouse on the side of the court.

Can Miami win game six? Sure. Will they? Miracles happen and maybe LeBrick will finally look in the mirror and see the solution to the problem is the reflection in that mirror. Doubtful. Overpaid players know they aren’t the problem.

On another note, as a Heat fan, I think Wade is done. Any of you remeber when Allen Iverson started losing his skills, just a little bit? He was still a good/great player, but only a shadow of his once greatness. I feel like DWade is about there and I would not be upset for the Heat to trade him this summer and get a true center, maybe a consistent outside shooter. It wont happen, but I wouldnt mind.

All of that being said, if the Heat win in Boston on Thursday (and if the Celtics fans simply dismiss that as a possibility they are dumber than I thought) all of this will be forgotten and game 7 will be epic. Go Heat!

Spo may be fired this summer if they lose, but it will not be on Friday.

What?!?! That’s not talent. That’s heart and mental toughness – something that LeBron doesn’t seem to have.

Zero. Goose eggs.

If you are going to put three “superstars” on the court, and aren’t going to control the paint with a big man, you better install the triangle. Or get used to losing in the playoffs.

Best image was a replay that showed KG make a clean block of a LaBron drive, and you could see half the Heat team throw their arms up in the air and look at the refs, at the same time the Celtics were breaking the other way.

Like golden age ref Jake O’Donnell said to a player when they miked him for a game “Just hustle and play hard and you’ll get your calls”

I’m sure when Wade and James stood in those bright lights, basking in the adoration of fan-boys and marketing whores, they felt as if they were capable of doing it all by themselves. Now that the cold reality of a strong supporting cast is apparent, they instead whine about officiating or other factors, continuing to delude themselves as to their own real worth. You’ll hear it said “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”, but there is nothing wrong with the game, however certain players richly deserve the hatred they receive.

On the whiteboard in the locker room, I wonder if they demand their O’s to be drawn bigger than their teammates (which must be tiny in comparison), or whether they even considered the X’s at all.
