I'm on the bridge with you, HD. I just don't know what to make of what I saw last night. I'm disgusted and could barely watch the 4th quarter last night.
I don't think Lebron played like sh*t because he has one foot out the door, though. I just think he had a bad shooting night. That doesn't mean he can completely check out of the game mentally, though. He needs to cure that loserish attitute real quick and bring this series back home for 7. I still have some hope.
One bad game, fine. I can understand that, but he's been passive, indecisive, and un-agressive for 3 of the 5 games. His play, or lack there of has rubbed off on the rest of the team. He needs to lead by example. If his shot is off, fine. Go to the hole, drive, play defense, chase down and block shots, whatever it takes. He has plenty of other ways to effect the game.
I can live with a loss if the team lays it all out on the court, but I have this sickening feeling that LeBron has so much more to give and for some reason, we're not seeing the all-out performance that we're used to.
In Game 4, we were within 2 points heading into the 4th. Ok, I thought. It's LeBron time. The time where he puts the team on his shoulders and takes over the game. That didn't happen though. He turned the ball over by making sloppy passes (very unlike himself), he was hesitant to take open shots, he didn't drive to the lane and create for himself.
In Game 5, it was more of the same, although even more ugly.
We all know what he's capable of. But what is he waiting for? I don't understand.
