Yes. If he would have said, Haslem, if they double, roll to the basket because I might hit you for a layup or j if its open, the game very well may have been a W.
He even said they don't talk about those possibilities in the huddle because they just react as the game happens and go with the best option. That's terrible planning and leadership and I've never heard a player say that before. Not leading your team by making sure everyone is on the same page isn't clutch. |

| You should go back and watch the play. Having just now watched it again, Haslem was clearly anticipating the pass and ready to shoot. I don't think you know what you're talking about. You claimed Devin Harris was guarding Lebron, and that Haslem wasn't ready for the pass. Go watch it again. |

I saw the replay. Made a mistake on Harris. Who cares who shaded over.
Point is Lebron lolligagged into a passive double team and dished to their 5th option for a tweener jumpshot that many guards can't hit. | |

It's the right play if Wade or Miller or another SG is the receiver. That is my main point.
Opposing D's will give Haslem that shot from that spot every night. I don't think Jordan would have kicked there to Horace Grant for a game winning shot. | |

Watching Lebron back down from a challenge in the allstar game showed something though. I wish he would have backed everyone away and dunked it in Kobes grill, but he passed it twice, just as he did the other night.
Can't believe you guys think that shot was the better chance for them to win the game. You guys got too much love for Lebron to admit he would rather have that play over. | |

What I don't get is virtually every Lakers fan will tell you they are struggling because their bigs have disappeared in games. They will never put the blame on Kobe.
Kobe has had 7 games where he shot below .500 TS% (league average is .530). He's had 6 games with 6+ turnovers. He's messing up big time basically once every 3-4 games. What's crazy is that his team has been able to win when he plays horribly. Out of his 10 poor performances, they won 7.
Those bigs are legit. In the games where Kobe struggled, Bynum put up 18 and 12 shooting .63 TS%, and Gasol did 17 and 10 shooting .56 TS%.
That's how they won 7 out of 10 with their "best" player sucking it up. | I agree with you about Kobe, to a point. However, do you ever consider Kobe has to handle the ball more than anyone because he doesn't have a point guard? | |

| Lebron stepped on that ladies bare foot and you would have thought he tore his Achilles. Amazing that he is back out there. | |
