Wait, you mean all I have to do is type this at the end of my posts, and I can post whatever I want? That's awesome!


Wonder if he got a warning.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

LeBron = 11 points total in the 4th quarters of this series. After 5 points in game one, Lebron just has 6 points total in the last 4 games in the 4th quarters... a point and a half per game is LeBron "King" James' offensive output in the deciding 4th quarters. Pathetic.

Bosh shot just 1/7 in the 2nd half of game 4 .. and Bosh shot just 1/3 in the 2nd half of game 5. A combined 2/10 shooting for Bosh in the 48 minutes of the 2nd halves of Game's 4 and 5. Pathetic.

Wade had 10 points and 3 assists in the 4th quarter of Game 5 and where was everybody else?? missing shots is where they were. Meanwhile Dirk is getting loads of help from his teammates (Terry, Kidd, Marion , Chandler etc) making shots late. And of course, Wade's defense in the 4th quarters has been superb, while Lebron's defense has been garbage in the 4th quarters allowing Terry or anyone he's covering to drive in freely to the lane or shoot over the top of him repeatedly. Bosh's defense has been garbage late in games too.

yes I think it's safe to say that Wade is getting no help and has been pretty much on his own in 2nd halves. Yet the games are tight within 2 points with 2 minutes remaining, and they were on the road to boot. It's incredible what Wade is doing with such little help.

Without Wade's astonishing play, with his ridiculous 40 PER in these Finals (Dirk is at 26), the Heat would have lost this series already with how everyone else disappears in the 4th quarters and 2nd halves.

"I've seen myself being less aggressive (in the foruth) at times," said James. "Most of the time I feel like D-Wade has it going and it's situations where in the past there were times where I had it going and our team just rode me offensively. Guys just try to pick it up someway somehow. D-Wade has been playing extremely well in the 4th quarter, (Chris Bosh) has played well. I just haven't found my niche in the 4th quarter thus far.
