Especially the Spo-logists that want to throw the blame on the role players.

Jax wasn't good enough at the start of the season for Skiles and the Bucks (and he wasn't lacking motivation and being lazy and fat, like Diaw with the Bobcats). Now he's good enough to keep draining 3's in the WCF and play D on Durant for Pops and the Spurs.

The role players not contributing much is just another sign Spoelstra is a crap coach.

Popovich has been riding the likes of Gary Neal (undrafted), Danny Green (late 2nd round pick), Kawhi Leonard (rookie, late 1st round pick), Diaw (old, fat and lazy), Jax (old), Blair (no ACL's) and Matt Bonner (Scalabrine's separated twin) on the way to the WCF.

Are you telling me these guys are better than Haslem, Battier, Chalmers, Joel, Miller, Jones and Turiaf ?
Cause Lebron, Wade and Bosh are way much better than Parker, Ginobili and a creaky Duncan that couldn't even play the 2nd game of back to backs.

i'm not sure what your underlying point is
but even with Jax doing all that they still lost
the other team made shots and SA missed theirs down the stretch

aannnnnddd they lost 4 in a row.

Yeah but over their last 24 games, they are something like 20-4, so they've still got that.

Annnd the Thunder's three superstars beat them down in four straight games.

If Bosh, Wade, and Lebron play at the same level as Harden, Durant, and Westbrook--we would win every game.

But Wade doesn't show up every game. Lebron doesn't show up at the end of games. And Bosh doesn't have a big enough role to have an impact consistent with his talents.
