Miami Heat is now virtually tied with Boston Celtics for a second place in the Eastern Conference. If not for the loss of Lebron James former team Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat would have been the second best team in the Eastern Conference at least for the win and loss record.
The game was marred by a second quarter scuffle between Washington’s top price and franchise player John Wall and Miami’s Zydrunas Ilgauskas. The incident happened when Ilgauskus unintentionally swing his elbow in the face of John Wall. John Wall retaliated with an Manny Pacquiao upper cut like punch in the mid section of Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Playoff mode is now on every team and each contending Playoffs team are now on their way of getting good position going in the Playoffs. This could be one of the most intriguing and exciting season that the NBA have ever had.From Miami Heat’s Big 3 and to LA Lakers questionable status as the defending NBA Champion.
Miami Heat slowly becoming more mature and show some consistency in the recent 5 game winning streak. They beat recently the Houston Rockets 125-119 in a very intense ballgame.
The Big 3 – Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh finally, scored more than 30 points each and grabbed at least 10 rebs. This is something to be aware of with other teams as the Miami Heat is now becoming more dangerous and dangerous.
Lebron James scored 33 points and 10 rebounds, together with Dwayne Wade with 30 points and 11 rebounds and Chris Bosh who has 31 points and 11 rebounds. This could be the realization and what would be anticipated by all teams. The ‘Big 3’ plays as the real ‘Big 3’.
Lebron James and the Miami Heat has been the subject throughout the season and they were always in the media table as the main subject.
Now as the Playoffs is fast approaching, there’s no team in the East that ready and willing to face the Miami Heat in the first round. So it would be more crucial for each contenders specially the bottom 4 to win as many games until the regular seasons ends to avoid facing early the Miami Heat and Lebron James.
Lebron James and the Miami Heat is ready and will face the big challenge and that is to be able to answer all questions and prove all doubters wrong. This could one of the most exciting playoff in the history of NBA.
Miami Heat’s Lebron James named Player of the Week in the Eastern Conference for games played Monday, March 14, through Sunday, March 20.
Lebron James averaged a league-high 29.0 points on .547 shooting to go along with 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists as the Heat went 3-1. On March 18, Lebron James scored a game-high 43 pointsagainst Atlanta Hawks at Atlanta, including 23 in the 3rd quarter, shooting 16-21 from the field overall. This is the fifth time that Lebron received Player of the Week honors this season.
It has been observed on his previous games that he was not on his own, where his aggressiveness and his prowess was not totally not there. When Lebron not on his own self, Miami Heat always on trouble. It was very evident when Lebron playing below par, Miami Heat will have some difficulties on winning. This was very clear when they had 5 game losing streaks.
Miami Heat has been criticizing all out of the season, once Miami loses; they always try to downgrade the presence of the ‘Big 3’. But because of lack of center and point guard position the depth of their bench, they were upset by other teams.
But would they be ready to face Miami Heat and Lebron James in the playoff? This team would simply showcase the intensity and its talent that they can be a championship contender this season even with so much adjustment and imperfection in the team.
If Lebron James will lead and continue his dominance every game, Miami Heat will be fine and they will be a big threat in the playoff.
Lebron James would be in the MVP race and everybody knows that he would be in the battle to win his 3rd MVP award in 3 consecutive years. Understanding his role and taking over the game would lead Miami Heat into a better position to play in the NBA Finals.
Lebron James and the Miami Heat are showing some slow in this crucial stretch of NBA 2010-2011 season. The most controversial and criticized ‘Big 3’ are fallen? They have been experiencing very frustrated losses including the previous 5 game losing streak against playoff contenders.
What I have noticed is Lebron’s changing approach of the game. He is not the typical Lebron who always in the attack mode. Does this mean he wants to be excuse on their losses? Or he might be the reason why the Miami Heat is losing nowadays. Lebron James is the two time NBA Most Valuable Player and based on what I’ve seen right now, he is far behind from what he is truly is.
His aggressiveness has been gone and he never been a player who used to be. He passes the ball too much and tends not to play his real game which is in scoring mode. He should not let others do the task which he should perform. He should not like a kid who seeks for a help when somebody blame him for a loss.
Lebron James should play and get back himself into his game. The real game where he become a two time MVP. He should not in Dwayne Wade’s back, he should be in attack mode and delivers quality game to secure Miami Heat in the playoff. The way Lebron is playing right, if you will ask me on this? Lebron James is showing his dependency to Dwayne Wade and to Chris Bosh.
Lebron James should comprehend with Wade and Bosh to be successful and to bring home the championship to Miami Heat. If he don’t want to be blame and degraded his status as the premiere superstar, he should play his standard and play as the real Lebron James.
Attach mode and consistency would perfectly and dominate counterpart. If Lebron and the ‘Big 3’ understand their individual role and shallow their pride, then Miami Heat will restore the respect and domination in the league.
Lebron James and the Miami Heat came up big by breaking their 5 game losing streak by defeating the defending champion L.A. Lakers 94-88 Thursday at American Airlines Arena with a huge statement that they are still on the run for a championship.
After an instrumental and deep message from one of the big 3 Chris Bosh, Miami Heat played solid game and the so called ‘Big 3’ is working pretty well with a vengeance mode. Chris Bosh led the way with 24 points and nine rebounds. But what is more important is that, he has been aggressive and active on offense and in defense.
Lebron James consistently playing his all around game, with the defense concentrated on him and Ron Artest was all over on him, Lebron James still displayed all around performance as he almost have a triple double output with 19pts, 9rebs, and 8 assists.
Dwayne Wade made the most damage as he stole from the hands of Kobe Bryant as what to be the biggest position of the Lakers play. Right after the steal he immediately led the pass to Lebron James as Lebron hammer it home for the lead and that certainly change the complexion of the game.
This could be the realism of the team that has been criticized and questioned throughout the season. Miami Heat was the main topic all over the season and until now they were hated and everytime there will be an issue that can cause the team and organization downfall, they will put it into the table.
But as Lebron and the Heat battle the adversity, they are more becoming the dangerous team and no teams wanted to face Miami Heat and the ‘Big 3’ in the early rounds of the playoff.
As what coach Erik Spoelstra said on the win:
‘It’s one game. We certainly wanted to get over this initial hump but we want to keep on going. The important thing about a stretch like that is guys did not collapse.’
As for me, Miami Heat will be fine. Once the 3 superstars continue to learn and understand each others role, they will be the team to beat. The bench should be more involve and this should be understood by the coaching staff. Rotation and involvement will be crucial in this team and I believed, they are coming over in the position.
At this point Dan Gilbert president of Cleveland Cavaliers his thoughts reflects not only on Lebron James but the entire Miami Heat team. This might be the point of Dan when he said that Lebron James is a loser and a quitter. Lebron James is not a big time player and avoiding bigger responsibilities on his shoulder.
Indeed, it might be true as the Miami Heat is experiencing a losing skid against elite teams in the NBA. They might be one of the top teams in the league if not for this 5 game losing streak and counting. Lebron James has not been proven his winning attitude on his seven years in the NBA as he cannot put up a winning shot for the Miami Heat and this was happen several games when he has the ball on his hand. He needs to learn, needs to learn how to be a real big superstar.
Miami Heat was highly considered as to be the most hated team in the NBA and now people enjoying what they have witness right now and that is Lebron James and the Miami Heat is losing every game. Lebron James was totally aware and figures it out why this is happening in Miami Heat. He may think that upon joining Miami Heat everything will be fine and enjoy winning together with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
Lebron James undoubtedly one of the best players in the world of all time. He is definitely doing some adjustment just give his team an attitude of winning and restore respectivity to his people.
Miami Heat will become a thorn on other elite teams throat and Lebron James will leading this team in the promise land at in near future. Lebron James is consistently playing his game, but his last shot capability was questionable as he was not able to put it through to win a game. He should learn and understand his role and everybody should embrace and learn their role individually specially Dwane Wade and Chris Bosh and everyone will follow and inspired.
