ESPN: Who Choked More LeBron Or D-Wade?

[Renew Deal]

I'm not sure it's fair to say either choked, but whatever. ESPN put a couple analysts on to talk about the Heat. I think Stephen A. Smith makes some important points. Most notably that with the Lakers, Magic was the man until it was time to close the game. Then it was Kareem. That didn't make Magic any less great. He says it should be the same sort of thing with the Heat. Lebron is the man for the first 46 minutes. Then give it to Wade to finish the game.

1. A: All of the above. n/t

2. Considering that after 3 Qs, the Pacers led 61-52

. . . and the Heat came close pulling it out, I really don't think that a discussion about somebody choking is appropriate.

3. Lebron certainly added to his reputation last night...

It wasn't so much the missed free throws but he was not even anywhere close to being in involved in playing for the last 4 minutes or so.

Wade didn't choke...he just missed a shot...he certainly was a thug again, though, surprised they kept him in the game with that Artest-like elbow...the sooner he retires the better.

4. Give it to Wade

so he can dribble it off his foot? Give it to Wade so he can run around the court and settle for a bad shot?

Anyone that says someone is a consistent (rarely misses a shot) in a clutch situation is blowing smoke up your ass.
