I understand why you would be, but try to remember that first year....we weren't as cohesive then when Wade went practically the whole year healthy. We has our stretches though....
What LBJ needs to do is find a way to continue to be aggressive without being passive to the point of not making an impact on the game in 4th quarters particularly. Plus, he acknowledged Wade health as good for the team...so no harm done imo.
his words hint, that's why I am unpleased. I'm just reading between the lines. It's a hint he is considering leaving, or it's LeBron stating his thoughts poorly. Rest him, let his mind wrap around what's at stake, and he'll be ok. better than ok.
I don't know about all of that kyphi. I don't think LeBron is hinting about leaving at all. We all forget that back in 2011 (The Big 3's first season together) that our offense had no real flow to it at all. We were winning majority of our games based off the talent of LeBron, Wade & Bosh. UD was out for a large part of the season & Miller was injured. Those were our top key role players. Our projected starting line up heading into he season that year & the line up to finish games was D. Wade, Mike Miller, LeBron, Bosh & UD but the only time we saw that line up was against Chicago in the ECF & Dallas in the NBA Finals. Both LeBron & Wade were playing at MVP levels & at times it was hard to tell who the alpha dog was. With Wade giving up the alpha dog role (and of course numerous injuries causing him to give it up) he had to adjust to playing off the ball which Wade has been very stellar at in these last two seasons. LeBron on the other hand hasn't been doing that very well because it's rare that he has to play off another player in these past two seasons. Our offense runs through LeBron & he has the ball in his hands 24/7.
IMO this is more of LeBron being frustrated & fatigued both mentally & physically. LeBron made it obvious that he wanted to win the MVP this year & he prides himself on being the best player on the floor each night. Recently he has been out of rhythm. I do feel like he needs to rest but what's the point of bringing up rest & LeBron in the same sentence? Our coaching staff would love for LeBron to take some nights off BUT LeBron himself doesn't want to rest. I have no doubt at all that LeBron will get back into rhytm the next couple of weeks & the remainder of the regular season heading into the postseason but right now it's an adjustment period
