LeBron in Texas in the Finals is a nightmare.

0-9 outside the paint...

When Lebron is cold he's horrible.

Yeah look how short and not even close that last shot was from like 8 feet away...he's got zero legs at this point.

Sideshow, if you're there, what do you make of this?


Brutal. Just completely out of sorts right now. He's chucking at this point.

Finally LeBron starts making jumpers. Too little too late.

Yeah.

But this is the mentality he needs to have, what JVG pointed out...stop getting discouraged when you miss a few of those jumpers. If you're wide open, you're hurting your team by not taking that shot. If you're a good shooter (which I believe LeBron is at this point), and they're leaving you that open, you have to take them.

Really surprised he's not posting up at all right now.

Hell, it's worse than 2007. Maybe he can get something going after making a few shots there, but it definitely feels like too little too late. This is the worst he's played since early in the '08 Boston series, I was literally surprised when he made that three.

I'm shocked at how bad his jumper has been, after how good he was with it in the regular season. Also shocking watching Miami get dismantled like this.

When did Gary Neal become Steph Curry? He can't miss.

Remember after game 6 in Boston Lebron shot 27% outside the paint iirc. He's done this recently. It's just that now he's not posting up. Also not just Lebron but everyone on Miami is disappointing me on the boards. Just losing in effort. Green just got a board on Birdman while another Heat player watched!

Lebron got those consecutive 7 or w/e points when Kawhi was sitting too. Kid has been balling in the finals rebounding, D.

OKC played Lebron's jump shot pretty tightly though in the Finals. Spurs are daring him to shoot and he is either missing completely or not even taking the shot.

He averaged 9.2 FTA in the 2012 Finals. He has currently taken 6 FTA in the first 3 games in the Finals.

I don't think it's the same at all.

Yeah, I'm not sure the Heat will even make it back to Miami at this point. Complete embarrassment for both the team and Lebron. I also wonder why Lebron's jumper always disappears late in the postseason, this is a trend now.

Why just 2011? It's the worst playoff series he's ever had up to this point.

LeBron's legacy is on the line again.

If he keeps this up, I don't think he's ever going to shake the monkey that will be on his back. He has to come through with some pretty monster performances if the Heat want to win.

And the Heat HAVE to win this series for LeBron to preserve his legacy. No matter what he does from game 4 onwards, if the Heat lose, LeBron's performance in games 1-3 are going to be a HUGE black mark for him.

Yeah to be honest I just had that in mind based on the justified criticism of it. 2007 was more of him being outmanned. This time, there's no excuse.

Lebron was absolutely terrible tonight. It's going to be 48 hours worth of talk about his poor play and Parkers hammy heading into game 4.

Pretty much. Lebron has to be great in every remaining game and win the series, or this will easily be the worst black mark of his career, clearly worse than 2007 or 2011.

Has a team even scored 100 on Miami in that playoffs before this game?
