It's not at all his fault the Heat are going to lose the series. Wade had a terrible game 4, but I wouldn't pin it on him either. If any player deserves blame it's Chalmers and Cole for not having even one decent game. They have been fucking brutal all series. Overall, it's their shitty defense that has been the problem.
Not to be like Skip Bayless, but LeBron had the dumbest quote ever today.
"If you told me I was averaging 28, shooting 60 percent from the floor and 61 from the 3-point line and we'd be down 3-1, I would never give you another interview," James said. "I've been telling myself I need to do more. Is it too much to ask myself? I don't know. I don't know. I need to do more because what I'm doing isn't enough. You know, it's just what I put on myself.
"I need to get to 32, and 65 and 65 from the field and 3. It's just the pressure I put on myself, man. It's what I've come to."
It's not your offensive numbers dumbass. If you were averaging 32, it would still be 3-1. How about you get your hand up when you challenge a Leonard or Danny Green 3? I've seen your lazy closeouts and rotations. Close outs are fundamental basketball and if you keep your hand down, it's a wide open look. The Spurs have good shooters who will knock those down the majority of the time.
Dig the fuck in and demand your teammates do the same. This is why he pisses people off. You gotta be yourself, but he's so fucking aloof compared to other greats. Jordan would not put up with the Spurs getting wide open looks all game long. Kobe might shoot 6-24 and try to play hero ball, but he also wouldn't put up with his team giving a shitty effort in the Finals. It seems like they are just saying, "Fuck it, we won two already. We will regroup for next year."

Fuck I'd thought you guys were above this Skip Bayless thinking.
He's averaging 27 a game shooting a ridiculous 61% from three point range. Their defense has been terrible and Lebron isn't the elite defender he was last year.
Chalmers/Cole have given them nothing so it's 4 on 5 then add in Wade/Bosh have been what they usually are in 2013 and 2014 which is consistently inconsisent.
This isn't a great Heat team guys. Spurs are simply better so let's stop with the "Lebron fooled people into thinking he's not soft" nonsense.
You are all above Skip Bayless so dig deeper please.
Also I don't know how the fuck the Mavs ever defeated this team 3 times in a playoff series including kicking their ass in San Antonio. Since then they have plunger raped Portland 4 times, plunger raped OKC 3 times, plunger raped Miami twice on the road.
In typical Spurs fashion this team won't be remember as an all-time great team. The knew jerk reaction will be about Lebron is a choker, Miami needs to blow it up, is Wade done? , Will Lebron leave? before they finally acknowledge that in today's super star world a small market team full of home grown guys just won their 5 championship since 1999 which ties them with the Lakers during that same span.
I think people are so concerned with the now they often forget that Kobe and even Jordan had their poor performances. It's sports, it happens. I remember watching the Sonics boat race the Bulls in 1996 game 4 and the Bulls just quitting(MJ of course didn't). I've seen Kobe quit on his team in a game 7 against Phoenix.

Three NBA finals examples of a Kobe team just rolling over and dying in the Finals.
Yes I just posted three straight times. Fuck you, Fuck me, Fuck everyone.
I don't mean to be like Skip Bayless, but I do think LeBron is kind of soft. I think he's just a product of the era, and a lot of the criticism might be unfair, but some of it is warranted. He is what he is. A great, great player, but he's not a killer in my opinion. At times, he is, but too many passive and soft moments stick out in my mind. Maybe he's tired from the past few years, but it shouldn't be an excuse to give such a shit effort on defense. His bad defense has been really evident. The hand on his hip on a Leonard jumper when he was right there pissed me off. If he did that on San Antonio, Pop would chew him the fuck out.
When Miami played great defense, he was the ringleader and he would scare the shit out of players when he came to trap or when he came out of nowhere to steal softly thrown passes. San Antonio has played great, but where the fuck is the effort and fire?
We all remember his 2011 quote where he basically said fuck you guys enjoy your shitty life while I enjoy my better life.
I don't think he's soft. Soft compared to that 1980's era? You could be right but if he was brought up in that era I don't think he'd be soft either.
We can get on Lebron killer instinct all we want but going 14-2 in playoff series over 4 years is pretty remarkable. His method is working.
Spurs and Duncan don't get nearly enough credit right now or historically. Popovich only one who is ever praised and id take him over any coach in the last 40 years. Yes over Riley and Phil.
Simple fact, case closed, end of discussion.
As always we will have to hear about how he had no team by the people who have his cock poking the back of their throats. #TheScript
But the main reason that the Spurs are boatracing( Hi Boobs) the Heat is their Bench.
Pussy.
