Make free throws, win the game, simple.

All I have to say is meh, whatever. It was in Golden State, they were super hyped up, they're a terrible team that always plays well against good teams and that's been their MO for the last decade or so.

Chuck, chuck, chuck, eventually you'll get lucky and they'll go in. Move onto the next one.

That's pretty much it. We checked out too early against a scrub team that caught fire and never really managed to find a way back into the game. I knew we'd lose when LeBron went into LeIso towards the end of the 3rd and they started to come back and before all the LeBron kiddies in this thread continue to cry, no I'm not solely blaming this game on him. I'm just saying the entire team became complacent, this is just the point where you could clearly see it start.
Nonetheless, I'm not worried. Of course it shouldn't happen, but during a long season, especially with a condensed schedule, it'll happen every now and then. We've proven to be able to execute better down the stretch and play better overall though.
The only thing I don't like about LeBron coming here are his fans: It's fine if you really like one particular player, but don't always feel the need to defend LeBron at all costs and bash the entire team to protect him and point out how great he is. I like LeBron, but just like every other f*** on this team, if he sucks, I'll say it and I don't care all that much about impressive statlines, I go by what I see. I remember Wade having a 40 point game last season and I thought he was freaking terrible.

Do it like LeBron and just say "He/I was bad, on to the next game".

What? Did you even read any of the posts in this thread or did you just skip on the whole reading part, and decide to make assumptions? I'm going to go with the latter. Most of the posts regarding Lebron in here is about his poor defense, or lack of offense after the 2nd half ---Not "defending" him or "shifting blame". Then you have a few guys saying, "well wait, this isn't solely Lebron's fault, Haslem was just awful, so was Bosh, and Wade went cold, not doing much either, which is all true as well. Next time read before you type out silly irrelevant paragraphs.

Really? You even quoted one of the LeBron fanboy tools and basically told him he was a tool. But yeah, I read a lot of pages saying how it's Wade's ego that's keeping LeBron from taking shots in the 4th or how the offense is much better when LeBron's the primary option and other silly stuff in that regard. Then you also have your usual peope who look for a scapegoat and just happened to find one in LeBron when this game was about so much more than LeBron.

The difference - (free throws)

Miami 26/40 = 65%
GS 26/30 = 86.7%

Miami makes their free throws in the 3rd **** quarter and we win easily. Keep a 20 point lead and they have no chance. Stop blaming Haslem, he was pretty bad on offense but Lebron was force feeding him under the ring when he had multiple defenders on him.
