Good LORD Lebron, 5 turnovers with 6 to go in the third?

This is one of the most boring series I've ever watched.

Pretty much all of 'em are a result of his stupidity in continuing to attack off the dribble against this collapsing Bucks D. He's playing like it's 2007 - looking to avoid the jumper at all costs and doing the same thing over and over again.

LeBron should've stuffed that full-court pass by Chalmers down so hard that the ball would ricochet into the fifth row, instead he opts for a half-ass layup that he misses and then puts in back in pedestrian-like.

Can't believe I'm watching the playoffs, feels like preseason.

The Bucks' court doesn't help the case either. It's so dark and bleak. Dull, dull, dull all the way.

There we go. Actual incentive to do something in a playoff game. What a concept!

I think we'll see something special from Lebron for 2 minutes and Miami will put the game away and Lebron will go to facilitating the rest of the game.

Agreed. The only reason to watch this series was for Lebron, and if he's going to play like this...

Questionable shot at the end of the quarter there. He's not playing with anywhere near the intelligence he was earlier in the season, his decision making hasn't been good in this series. Just really weird, I'm hoping he fixes this stuff in the 2nd round.

Shooting efficiency, you mean. Taking care of the ball is absolutely part of efficiency.

Okay, this game is close in the 4th, let's see if Lebron turns it on for a bit.

Let's just hope it is Chicago Miami round 2.

It's very obvious that Lebron can turn it on whenever he wants. It's shame that we as fans don't get much of a show from him, but this is nothing to be worried about.

Like I said... sense of urgency. Dude needs a 6 minute stretch to put the game out of reach.

Well, at least he's been great defensively. The stretch from the all-star break till now is amongst the best I've seen from him on that end.

God it's amazing how easy he makes it all look. Now he's just saying "all right, let's just end this" and just murdering them in any way needed.

Why is everyone complaining? This is one of Lebron's best series in his career, and this will probably be his best series this year.

Lebron in playoffs per 36 (non lockout years)

23.1/6.9/5.8 on 56.1 TS% 3TOs

Lebron 2012-2013 playoffs through 3 games (Bucks are maybe the only non injury decimated team the Heat will play this year, so the rest of the way might be * time):

23.1/7.8/6.8 69.2 TS% 4.8 TOs

Miami on the series

Lebron with 25/8/7 on 68% TS and 5 TOs a game

Think he would better in a series vs the Bulls or do you see more of the same?

I know he would be better vs Brooklyn though.

I can't say for sure obviously, but I would think he'd look better vs the Bulls, he didn't seem to take the Bucks very seriously.
