Take what shot? He was doubled. Passing there was completely the right basketball play. That's a wide open shot that Udonis Haslem should be able to make in his sleep.
Wade choked that game away in the final minute after LeBron took over.

Lebron's going to get crap for passing the ball at the end, again, but it was a drawn up play given to a winde open Haslem. Not who I'd want shooting it, but it was a point blank shot in his range. Haters going to hate, though. Gives people something to talk about.
Heat 98
Jazz 99
35 points, 10 boards, 6 assists, 3 blocks for Bron.
Spin it anyway you want. He had a good enough shot. You don't put the game in Haslems hands. If you kick it to an open Wade or Bosh fine.
How can you be this dominant and afraid to take a shot. It's ok to miss, just take the fucking shot!

Funny thing is, if you watched the game, LBJ closed out the Jazz. He hit a 3 and then a long ridiculous 2 to put the Heat up 3. Then Wade blew it with 2 bad fouls: first fouling Harris on a 3pt attempt then fouling Harris again on the Jazz's last shot, giving him an and-1 that was the game winner. Between those 2 plays Wade missed a free throw that would have had the Heat up 3 before Harris' game winner.
But I don't expect irrational haters to recognize those facts.

Exactly.

Did you watch the game? He took the shot with 1 min left. Then again with 26secs left. JFC, give it up man.

Did that matter when he hit a ridiculous 3? He had a good enough shot. You can't defend him putting that in Haslems hand. He has a better shot double teamed.

Bosh wasn't playing. If he was, he would have been the one to take that.

LeBron made two huge shots down the stretch. On the final play, he was doubled and passed the ball off for a very high percentage, open jumper. It was completely the right basketball play to make. The only other choices would have been to take a difficult, contested off-balanced shot or to drive into contact and hope for a foul in a hostile road environment. Neither would have resulted in a better chance of winning the game than Haslem's shot.

Oh. Nice to know the choking was equally shared between Wade AND James.
Just like the All-Star Game! Just like the Finals!

Give up defending him regardless of what happens. You are the best player in the league, you don't defer to Haslem there.
So if Harris misses the last shot and James, effectively, hit the 2 game winners then it's all good. But because Wade committed two bad fouls and missed a FT, James is the goat? That's just stupid.

This isn't about defending LeBron. It's about defending what was the right play at the right time. If I'm Miami, I don't want him taking a ridiculous, low-percentage contested Kobe-type shot there.
