Awesome shot of Riley as Thunder go up 10. Looked like he was about to cry. Like how are my superstars get outsuperstared by their superstars. I thought Lebron was the best player in the league etc

This run is without Harden, Ibaka, or Perkins on the court. Also they finally went to the defensive match up I thought they play with Sef/Bron, Wes/Wade, and Durant/Battier. I like that Durant can give Bron room and challenge his shot but he will get backed down in the post.

Yup. Still plenty of time for LeBron to turn things around, but with the exception of a couple of flashy moves it was another underwhelming 4th quarter in the finals.

Lebron didnt get any help. He cant do it all. Wade and Bosh were bricking shots. Bosh now thinks he is a 3pt shooter

He is a three time MVP, allegedly the best baller in the world. No excuses. He scored 18 total points in last year's finals in the 4th, Durant almost beat that in the first game of his first trip. Its always someone else's fault. The great ones take the initiative.

you're right Lebron was pretty awful in the 2nd half but no one else stepped up either. I'm pulling for a OKC sweep now!

Lebron, Wade & Bosh were ballstopping. Should've rode the hot hand, Sugga Shane Battier

What is OKC going to do next year with salaries? They can't possibly afford Westbrook, Harden, Perkins, Serge and Durant!
Do they trade Westbrook and up Harden and Serge?

Westbrook is going anywhere, especially with his 5 Year $78 million extension. Perkins contract sucks and will be hard to move. Harden and Serge are lcoked in for at least another year but can't see the Thunder being able to keep them both. Between Harden and Serge I think OKC has the best shot at retaining Serge. Harden is going to get big money somewhere. OKC could of course resign them both to big contracts but in such a small market I can't see them taking a huge hit with the luxury tax.

Right, no excuses...Lebron should have scored 106 pts and carried his team to victory all by himself regardless if Wade was bricking shot after shot and the 7ft Bosh was taking 25 footers. Your right, Lebron should have put that team on his shoulders and should have stopped Westbrook from penetrating to the basket at will, at the same time he should have scrambled out to stop Durant from getting open looks and then when Durant missed, he should have ran to the box and prevented Collison from getting offensive rebounds and tip outs. Then, he should have told Spo to stop switching every pick ala our beloved NYKincks and designed a better game plan....

Westbrook destroyed wade. Not many players can stay in front of westbrook but wade on the decline and banged up stands no chance. That is where the series will be lost. But Lebron will still get all of the blame for not scoring 106 like u said. Is it at all possible that Lebron was gassed in the 4th. Its cleveland all over again. Lebron has to carry the team throughout the playoffs until he loses his legs and starts bricking shots. I mean the heat are relying on him to do everything. Penetrate, orchestrate, block shots, stop durant. Not an easy task for 48mins this deep in the playoffs. Where is the rest of the "big 3" So awesome seeing this back fire in their faces including Riley's!

Is he or is he not capable of putting the team on his back when the game is on the line? LeBron is averaging 3.6 pts a game in the 4th quarter in the finals career wise. But I guess these days you only have to play well for three quarters and then you can pile on one sorry excuse after another for not producing when it matters. This isn't just one game, its his entire NBA finals career up to this date. Stop coddling the man, he has plenty of people who are paid to do that.

Lebron & bosh couldve come to new york alongside something like felton, tyson maybe gallo and be the man and not be clashing with wade. Both guys are used to having the ball in their hands all the time which is why it hasnt always worked as well as miami originally thought. Not 1 not 2 not 7 and so on and so forth

I think there is something to lebron having to carry both cleveland and miami the entire playoffs. I will give you last year he just flat out choked and it was a joy to watch. I cant kill him for this year just yet. Still a lot of basketball to play. We will see what happens

I just don't see the all time greats coming up this short when it matters and getting a pass. LeBron admitted that last year he didn't make enough game changing plays in the finals when it matters and he let the team down but still I keep hearing people make excuses for him. Enough already. LeBron admits he could play better but its unfair to take him at his word?

LeBron might be one day guns, not saying he never will, but until he does he deserves the criticism.
