Whitlock calls for the Big 3 to disband

[ralaw]

He does need to work on his game, mostly on the inside and become more consistent outside, and maybe he'll have the confidence. I think it runs much deeper than you do. I guess we will just disagree.

I actually agree with you.....I think James has some deep rooted mental/insecurity issues that he needs to deal with. IMO its the reason why he underperformed. However, I don't think this performance will define his career.

It will if it continues, but he's young and does have time to change. Sometimes this is just the kind of thing it takes to motivate. We will see how much he does or doesn't care to improve.

The Heat easily could have, and probably should have, won this series in 5 games. They crumbled, but that wasn't because of a lack of talent. Disbanding the team would make no sense at all.

But of course this story would be written by Jason Whitlock. In other news Skip Bayless hates LeBron James. Next!

 

[NAHSTE]

This was probably the most lazily written thing Whit has ever turned in.

If you are using the overused construction, "Not so much," in a legitimate column, don't expect me not think it's shitty.

And that's even before we get into the armchair pyschology and the unfounded generalizations:

Does pressure choke James? Maybe. More likely, James is simply moody. Kids born into family dysfunction often struggle emotionally.

Whit has been a hack for a while, but it seems like he just gets more and more hackey by the column, and this hackiness somehow emboldens him to be even more hackey the next time.

The Heat crumbled. They won’t recover. How can they?

I don't know, the same way the other 29 non-winning teams will attempt to? By playing next season and hoping it works out better?

Short of that, they’d probably like to see him traded for parts that fit. James for Dwight Howard makes a lot of sense.

LOL no the fuck it doesn't.

I'll stop now because there's just too much to take issue with.

I dont think enough people are saying Dallas won the series, as opposed to Miami losing it.

Yes and no. Miami was up 15 on them in Game 2 and had no business losing that game. They squandered 4th quarter leads in Game 4 and 5.

Of course, all credit goes to Dallas for not just packing it in and folding .. but the Heat lost this series as much as the Mavs won it.

Nonetheless, that won't be printed on the trophy - and in the end that's all that matters.

I think people are overreacting to this just a little bit.

They made the fucking Finals. They don't need to be disbanded. They do need to make a couple tweaks.

This is why I think it's really more than just a couple of tweeks.

“All the people that were rooting me on to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want with me and my family and be happy with that.”

I have doubts that James really gets it, or really wants to get it. The quote really sums up what I think is wrong with him. I'm not sure he feels the need to improve. I mean, that is not what I would want my Superstar to be saying after a championship loss.

 

[KnightNoles]

The funny part is that to discredit him they'll say, "He's not Jordan" or, "Jordan would have never ______". They compare him to the GOAT to discredit what he does as if him failing to meet the Jordan standard is a bad thing.

Shit, Jordan didn't win 11 either.. He is no Bill Russell

:smug:

I don't disagree that Jordan is the best ever but why not Kareem or Bill?


Adding to the argument and article, why isn't LeBron posting up more and taking advantage of his body. Baron Davis did/does it with smaller guards and Magic did it also.

Either way his game should be setting up himself, driving and posting up should open up his mid to long range game or vice versa...

This faggot Whitlock is a douche.

I think that was a poorly executed defense mechanism.

He tried to play it off like he doesn't care what people think of him. It's obvious he does.
