Ratt Mhule Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Could be very possibly 2-0 Indiana right now if it weren't for LBJ Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 LBJ - 3 turnovers in 3 straight possessions! As good as he was to finish off game 1, he was equally as bad finishing game 2! Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Based on Lebron's performance in clutch situations since he has been at Miami, I would actually want the ball in his hands if I'm an opposing team. You just can't let him get to the basket, because that takes all of the clutchness out of the shot. Make LBJ take a mid-range jumper, and he will miss it probably 80+% of the time in the clutch. If you're going to throw out numbers, at least show your work And according to this article, he's been just as good or better in the postseason than all the other "clutch" guys I actually looked up all of his buzzer beaters about a week ago. He did well in clutch situations while he was in Cleveland, but since he moved to Miami, IIRC he has only hit 2 game-winning or game-tying shots. Does that low number have anything to do with them being ahead of teams and not needing a last second shot? Probably. But more so the fact that Lebron is a pass-first guy, and he'd rather let somebody else take the shot at the last second than take it himself. I kind of get a sense that he's changing that mindset a little bit, which he should. There's no reason that the best player in the world isn't taking the last shot of the game every single time they're in that situation. He sure proved your point tonight in the final two minutes!

HuskerShark Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Gotta say, Lebron was fun to watch tonight. Monster game until the final 3 minutes of the game. What else is new I guess?... Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 LOL Shark. The LeBron = not clutch myth is still strong. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 LOL Shark. The LeBron = not clutch myth is still strong. It's not a myth. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 lol You can lol all you want, but Lebron is historically an atrocious performer in the last 3 minutes of the game. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Dude. You come in with that sort of hilariousness, you gotta cite your facts. You have nothing. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I tend to agree with HS on this. Against Dallas, he choked multiple times. Last year in the playoffs, he was better. But like HS said, he passes way too much with the game on the line. My source is my hatred for LBJ Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Judging "clutch" crap like this often comes down to confirmation bias at the end of a sample size of like 10 games over 8 years. It's totally ridiculous and has no bearing on the actual measure of his basketball ability whatsoever. Statistical noise. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Nice work, Memphis. Go 10-18 from the line in a game you had to have. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Both teams need to D it up Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well, you just don't see teams shoot lights out like this very often. Also doesn't help that Miami is getting a lot of calls to go their way that are questionable at best. Quote Link to comment
