Lebron doesnt get agressive until Wade goes out late in the first. That is the issue. Lebron starts most games in complete facilitator mode.

Yes, they are a pain in the ass, but i'd rather win the game than worry about how we start

The problem might be UD. He's killing our spacing at the start of games.

Yes he is. Haslem is a detriment to this team now. His situation will be a problem for us all year long, as it'd be surprising to see Spo sit his worthless butt in favor of someone else when he's a team captain for a lot of other reasons than his play.

Put Rashard in the starting lineup for his shot, and have Beasley back him up. Haslem never plays another minute. Love ya Haslem, but you need to get bench burn.

This team's mentality isn't how you start, but how you finish. They do just that. They also don't take bad losses to heart. They say things like, one game doesn't define out season.

We start to score a lot when the bench comes in. Our best line ups seem to be the bench + Wade. Usually the killer line up is LBJ + bench, both of them provide spacing.

I think they just wait it out until the what... 9 minute mark in the 1st quarter. Also every damn team in the NBA gets hyped up to play us while LBJ and Wade try to "feel out" the game. They always feel it out first before they go for the kill.

I remember in 2012 when we played the Pistons and Will Bynum was hitting everything like he was Jordan 2.0

That was when I first noticed how every scrub we played turned into an all star for 48 minutes. Annoying as hell.

The only reason I wont begin scolding folks for over analysis of the regular season is the fact that we do need SOMETHING to talk about that..this concern dissapears when the lights come on and we are engaged, lineups and rotations are not the issue..
