Don't know if this make sense, but...There are people want to lead and be the leaders, then some others think they can lead just because they are good. So far, Lbj hasn't showed that he can be the leader yet.
It actually is weird to see, because he was put in the leadership position almost right from the get go and he has been in the league for a while now still not there. His teammate is way ahead of him in that area...

What you said actually 'makes sense' to an extend. I think unlike old-school styled guys like Kobe, MJ, Duncan or Shaq etc, LBJ comes from this new generation that just want to 'have fun' when they play ball.

Actually, I believe LBJ even mentioned or hinted about it over the years. While I can understand where he is coming from, but joining forces with his rivals the way he did just isn't cool; and it also shows he is not interested in being a leader either. All in all, I don't think his image would change or improve no matter how many championship(s) he might win. I bet most people will only give most of the credit to D-Wade instead of him, that's all I have to say.

Tonight is going to be tough for the Lakers. Fourth game in 5 nights... we will see what happen.

Watching it right now...

Another 40+ pts from Kobe, but the Lakes came up short this time. They were badly abused at the boards and the point guard position.

The Lakers simply looked tired the whole first half! Combining with this terrible early schedule, this already slow team was no match to the much younger and quicker Clippers right now. It is just one game though. The Clippers might have won the game, but the lost CP3 for who knows how long now. He is listed as day-to-day now.

hi im new to here and i hope to join in

i just wanna say that i saw a few threads saying lebron james not agressive enough in the 4th quarter. I think every players have an off night but the fact that lebron's mistakes are magnified is unfair to him and to the heat.

(I am long time Heat fans since 2004 when i first watched Wade playing, i know i found a team to support in my lifetime)

Definately LBJ is getting the bad end of the publicity after changing team. Nothing against the Heats, great team I had them winning the champ last year and still think they have better chance to win this year even though i am  Thunders fan. But, between Wade and LBj at the end of the game I would go with Wade because I know he has done it before and well usually. That's just my opinion...  
Good to have you here and more basketball fans to chat about what we like...

First of all, welcome, 142929.

I'd just like to say LBJ didn't just have an off night here and there, he simply disappeared in the 4th qtr in between Game 4 and 6 of the Finals! I mean, the NBA Finals and in at least 3 games in a row! The guy has talents and there's no doubt about it, but when it comes to being clutch, or in terms of the heart of winning huge games? I have my doubt in him, sorry.

Fair enough, since he is such a superstar, people have expectation on him and he still has yet to deliver. Doubting him is a natural response, but thinking about his play against the celtics last year- he single handedly win the heat the series, clutch isnt that big deal. what i think he's lacking is the ability to perform under huge pressure (nba finals)

hi i quite like the thunders too but i think they don't have enough offensive power in people other than harden, westbrook and durant. they will struggle big time if the three arent performing well, actually that's what i think but what a thunder fans would think i would really like to know

It just so happen the Lakers were @ Miami and lost today, oh well, big deal. I mean, don't get me wrong and I am NOT bitter about the loss; after all it is just another regular season game, ok. And like I might have said it before, we are just not built to play in this kind of compressed schedule.

yeah whatever but let's face it our perimeter d choked kobe last night i mean 8 for 21 seriously? credits to battier and lebron

to be fair the lakers team is aging and cant deal with such compressed schedule but neither is the heat built for such compressed schedule. we are shallow in our bench and wade is injured. out star man is injured !!! can it get any worse??
