He allowed him to run out to the 3 point line for that 3 to easy. That's my point. He didn't defend well on that last possession.

I'll give you that but - even though there's zero guarantee he makes both the free throws, do you risk Hedo fouling out on a ticky-tack that the refs WOULD call?

I would put him at the line but I agree losing Hedo in overtime is big but your alternative is to lose with the 3 pointer. Breen always go on about this type of strategy but I have to put a guy like Lebron at the line where he isn't clutch to make those free throws. Ray Allen no, maybe not even Kobe but Lebron would have to earn it at the line for me. The only risk you really run is a foul before the inbounds. Is the rule still 2 shots and possession? I would have to muscle up on Lebron if I was coaching and let the refs make the call. Hold that jersey next time Hedo.

Lebron showing us why Kobe is still the best player in the game.

He ain't got no Mariano Rivera in him.

oops.

[borat]The NBA has really dropped off in quality... NOT!![/borat]

lol... they're calling this "The Shot" now on ESPN... a game 2 winning shot is "The Shot"... if Derek Fisher or Hedo makes that shot it might make the top 3 on their webgems.

i think what hypes the shot so much is because it was Lebron making it... they so desperately wanna raise this guy up to legendary status already it's not even funny... why don't they just let this guy prove he can take his teams to win championships before they put him in the same class as someone like MJ? he's a great player w/tremendous alltime talent but he hasn't proven himself in that capacity yet... i can't even count how many huge shots like this MJ hit against teams over his career & i never once heard him gushing about it the way Lebron did at his post game press conference... i think the incessant butt kissing is starting to get to his head a bit.

Wait till he gets to NY

I feel like lebrons physical grinding style of play will not benefit his career in the long term. His body will begin to break down, he needs a little more finesse and less of the linebacker mentality he has shown in this series. I am all for taking it to the rim but his body is taking a pounding. Also, the lowering of the shoulder is clearly a foul and he gets away with murder. The cavs are still all lebron so I don't see them winning I all, maybe that will help get him out of there.

Reezy.

what's amazing is how far ariza has come with that 3 point shot. he could be a new age bruce bowen.

but what's even more amazing is that he probably would've been traded by d'alsh before the season started for a 2nd rounder.

When he was here he couldn't hit the side of a barn.
