His body language on the bench of one of the games (I don't recall which one it was) was horrible. He was covering his mouth with his shirt but you could tell that he was in one of those "it's not my fault we are going to lose" modes while probably ripping someone else apart. As a leader of the team you just don't want him acting like that. When we beat OKC in 2012 Durant, Westbrook, and all of those guys handled the loss with class which leads me to believe that they'll be hoisting the trophy at some point.
And that final game of last years finals series reminded me of his Celtics series in Cleveland... He seemed to had quit on his team by the 4th quarter and had made up his mind and was ready to move on to Cleveland where things will be "easier" for him.
Maybe he has a winning finals record with a more locked in and focused mentality. We have seen players like Kobe, Dirk, Wade, and even Durant take over in the playoffs when it looked like their team was going to lose. All I know is that I'm just happy for the success that LeBron and Bosh have brought to Miami these past four years, so it's not my position to complain.
Well said. LeBron seems like someone who is thinking about the wrong type of shit during the Finals as opposed to some of the guys you listed who only play with one objective in mind: WIN THE GAME. We can worry about cramps, fatigue, the future, whatever it is later. But right now we will WIN THE GAME.

This is why I hate Scott Brooks.

failure is an option that is the result of the team effort is it not?
I guess you can be afraid of having your teammate to take the last shot
if that appears to be logical to you.
I know, I get it, if you're the best player on the team you take the last shot.
I guess Lebron just need to be sure of that philosophy with his team, while Durant/Westbrook duke out that last shot.

So with that logic are you saying lebron is not the best player on the heat? He conceits the last shot to Christina Bosh all the time. What a mental midget.
