The Front Row

Evans and Phillips on MDR dscussed that very point this morning on the radio. Yes, he did.

Yall people need to stop it. That game was not lebrons fault.

Instead of trying to place the blame, it's becoming clear that Lebron is lacking the ability to go out and get wins when it matters. No, not his fault they lost, but he's definitely not taking it upon himself to get the win. I think that's what most people are focused on. We know he's the best player in the league, so act and play like it when it matters.

There are two KNOWN facts with Lebron. Fact he is a great player and there is no denying the fact that he disappears at the end of games. Kobe would have DEMANDED the ball in that situation.

Yeah I'd say so. Not taking the last shot didn't really bother me but him missing TWO free throws that would of either tied it or given the Heat the lead (I can't remember) is inexcusable imo.

No one's saying they would have won if he had made them. But, my guess is they would have had a much better chance of winning had he made them. What actually happened was the Heat lost the game. When a team loses, the leader of the team is going to get the blame, as he should.

The day Lebron steps up and says "That loss is on me" will be the first time those words have ever come out of his mouth. The greats have said it multiple times in their career, Lebron refuses to take responsibility because he's entitled and afraid. If that's the type of player he wants to be, then fine, but don't go with the dog and pony show of calling yourself the "Choosen One" and "King James" if you don't want to be judged as such. He's brought all of the criticism upon himself because he's said time and time again he wants to be the best to ever play the game. Well, if that's your goal, that's how you are going to evaluated.
