it's not that big of a difference..

C Web said on twitter that he believes Bosh is not healthy, to focus on how he's running

He asked him straight-up in the post-game interview. Bosh acknowledged it and said the coaches get on him for it all the time. It's just lack of hustle, apparently. PEACE.

Poor Joel looked so sad on the bench.

I really hope we get the sixers in the first round. That is the team out of the whole conference we match up with best.

I want sixers in the first round, Pacers in the second round. And I want the Bulls to have to go through the Knicks, Celtics, or Magic.

It seems Lebron is a lot more concerned about how Wade and Bosh might react if he hogs the ball and doesn't deliver during crunch time as opposed to him shying away from taking over due to fear of failure. Lebron has to somehow stop worrying about his teammates reactions and just go out and be more of a selfish ballhog. The same goes for Bosh. Instead of just putting up with being an after thought he needs to start demanding touches like he did for a stretch last season, and start displaying wide array of moves as opposed to taking only perimeter shots.

It is funny that it was egos might hurt the team when the trio was first assembled, but it has turned out that a lack of ego is holding this team back. But then again, that might just mean more isos and hero ball

Hero ball and ball hogging don't necessarily have to coincide with increased assertiveness, in fact they shouldn't. Prior to the All-Star break I thought we had great balance among the Big Three in terms of aggressiveness and scoring balance. The difference was just that everybody was in attack mode all game long. Nobody was standing around and watching, when one guy had the ball, another one set a screen for the third guy who cut to the basket or popped out, then the ball kept moving until we found a good shot. We also had Dwyane and LeBron in the post a lot more and attacked defenses early with quick but good shots, which both of those two are so good at. My point is, while we had pretty fluent ball and man movement, the Big Three were attempting the majority of our shots and were always looking for them without actually being selfish and attempting tough, contested shots.

For some reason we've gone away from it though, but I guess fatigue was a big factor in it. Nonetheless there's no reason to not look to score the way they did against Boston and OKC in the past week.

This. I think 90 percent of the team lost it's legs after the all-star break, and that seriously has affected our offense because too many guys want to stand around or not move. And then defensively the rotations are slow and sloppy.

There's still so much season to go, you hope we can figure a way for them to get their second wind for the playoffs.

KD and Westbrook seem to do it more consistently though but i guess its bcos they dont have to worry about getting Ibaka going like we do with Bosh

Not much of a difference especially considering we have Bosh as the third guy.

quick question those of you that hated or disliked Lebron when he was a Cav do you like him more now?

I semi-disliked him when he was a Cav, but that wasn't anything to do with his personality. I'd say it was because (A) I was jealous that he was considered better than Wade and (B) I didn't find his game aesthetically pleasing.

Now that he is on our team, I (A) Don't give a f*** about (A), and (B) Don't give a f*** about (B), and I like him MUCH more now. Much more. All it would take is a title to make me like him as much as I do Wade.
