Fuck that arrogant buddhist cocksucker let him rot away on that ranch in Montana.

First Blanks blames D Wade for LeBron poor performance and now Coach Spolestra?

lol niggas refuse to blame LeBron for his average play

In a finals series you go game by game.

Right now if you have a look I think I've blamed Lebron more than enough.

Anybody with a sense of intelligence needs to realize he fucked up and failed to assert himself even in a crucial game 6 at home, facing elimination.

Before that game I thought he might have, and he didnt, obviously.

So now the fingers can be pointed at him.. its inexcusable.

 

[#1 pick]

Yes, he will get better. He had some moments in these playoffs.

 

[krymson kurensi]

He gonna come back, but this should be on his shoulders. As the leader you need to recognize that your star player is struggling against the defense and make proper adjustments. That's like a corner man not telling his prize fighter about any opening his fighter isn't picking up on.

 

[krymson kurensi]

Lebron played like trash for several games, the coach should have made adjustments to minimize the impact of that trash play. Only thing I saw was putting house in instead of wack as Bibby. Hopefully they trade him but back to lebron, it's his fault and the coach that Dallas has a ring

 

[MillzOG]

Spo was good on defense, but he made absolutely no adjustments on offense for what Dallas did defensively. (I made a thread about that) But they never ran offense in the 4th quarter at least thats how it seemed. Then he continued to allow Lebron to isolate at the top of the key instead of giving him the ball while cuttin to the rim and shit.

They got smacked around on the boards too, they need a big man.. Not that I give a fuck about the Heat.

But as a fan of the game and an observer, they need to find that big body down low because Haslem and Joel Anthony arent doing it.

Bosh got them long arms but he's not a rebounder, too lanky and all he does is try and tap the ball to keep it alive and he got pushed around easily.

They'll be back in the fold, just need that big body.

And Spolestra not using James Jones at all, was strange.. James Jones got playoff experience and he's better than Mike Miller.

Could have, should have, but... you gotta mention it.

Wade don't even want Riley coaching the team. And IMO, it ain't Spolestra's fault they lost. It's 100% Lebron's. But I'm sure heat management would rather throw Spolestra under the bus then accept that truth.

You dont think Spolestra had even 50% input into the "facilitator" role Lebron was playing?

Think about it.

(And thats not even for one second letting Lebron off the hook, he should have a personal drive within to see it aint working and switch up and assert. He didnt)

Miami won the rebounding battle most games, its not about a big man (even though they do need someone to block shots and guard other teams big men) but when it comes to rebound they have 2 of the best players in the game who both rebound well for their position, especially Wade.

But since they're not really gonna find a bigman that can score for them in free agency, Bosh is gonna have to work on a postup game this offseason, cus that lack of a postgame helped Dallas kill them with that zone. James Jones is definitely not "better" than Mike Miller, but he should've gave Jones minutes and Chalmers should've started the whole series at point instead of Bibby who was shooting like 25% from 3 coming into the finals.

Tyson Chandler didnt feast with Bosh and Anthony and Haslem down there?

The reason the rebounding battle was even close was because the last 2 games Dallas shot the lights out.

True Bron and Wade can rebound like no other at their respective positions, I say big man as in they need a big body. Period.

Bosh post game is basically him facing up and shooting, its pathetic.

And picking between Jones and Miller is like picking between shit and piss, but Jones shown something in the earlier rounds Miller just didnt bring nothing to the table.

I see what you're saying, but do to think he could have really forced him into a role he was uncomfortable with?

 

[VulcanRaven]

Man enough with the excuses.Both Wade and Bron have been int he league for damn near 10 years.Regardless of what the coach does,they should know how to attack and break down defenses.Jordan and Kobe knew how to adjust and direct their team mates to do the same.As the star player it falls on your shoulders while on the court to make things happen.Dirk did it the entire playoffs.

I dont think forced, I think it was more of a coaching suggestion/decision from the staff.

One thing about Lebron James, and you saw it especially in this series..

He doesnt really seem the type to take a stand against a decision or speak out.

He just takes it and moves on.. in a way its good, but look at the others before him.. they all had the personal conviction to walk up to the coaches and tell them "nah this gotta be dont like this, not like that".

 

[booty-gif-dot-com]

Spolestra gets all his orders directly from Pat Riley whos too old to be a pit boss. hes calling shots form luxury boxes rubbing shoulders with big time stars, governors, presidents, dictators fortune 500 businessman!

Spolestra aint going nowhere. hes Rileys PUPPET

I thought about this for a long time..

Man, could be, but why humiliate a nigga who just basically starting out and trying to earn respect himself, by giving him orders?

Maybe behind closed doors he gives some kind of "feedback", but trust me if Pat wants to coach he will coach.

Who knows man, like the great nigga Denzel said in Training Day "you wanna get shit done you gotta do it yourself".

yea I'll cosign them needing a big body.

Bosh better put alil bit of weight on and just work on his footwork in he post, not that hard...its actually ridiculous that you see guards with better post moves then him.

and lmao @ "like choosing between shit and piss" I see your point, but Mike Miller isn't HORRIBLE he can actually do a few things on the court besides shoot.

I'll tell you what I mean, Samuel Dalambert..

Tell me that wouldnt be perfect for the Heat?

Provided he actually keeps his form from this year going and doesnt fold like a Jerome James..
