NBA: Heat Lose 24pt Lead, Lack of "Decision" (February 27th-March 5th)


It looks like “The Decision” is no longer being looked at as an exclusive interview where Lebron James lets the world know where he will be “taking his talents”. Now “The Decision” or decision(s) that can’t be made doen the stretch of a game. Lebron isn’t the only one not making great decisions as Wade and Bosh aren’t playing any better down the strectch. This year Lebron is 1 for 7, Wade is 0 for 6 and Bosh is 0 for 1 on end of he game field goal attempts. “The Decision” at the end of each game should be constructed by the coach of the team Eric Spoelstra who seems to have know idea what he is doing up to this point. Its not like the Miami Heat and Spoesltra didn’t know they were going to get or could possibly get Lebron to Miami. So I would think the question of concern would have been, who do we give the ball to for a bucket I the end of game situations. That question is one that doesn’t need to be asked if you are up 24 points in the second half. There is more than just a problem with the Heat knowing who their main man is down the stretch, there are personnel issues. Yes you have three of the best players in the league but this is a 5 man game. Ilgauskus or Dampier isn’t really ideal at the center position and neither is Chalmers or Bibby at the point guard position. Leadership is the most important component missing in the Heat locker room. Everyone knows the “Big 3” are the leaders but they can’t all be the number one leader. Miami as an organization needs to decide who their franchise player and leader is. Either Lebron or Wade is going to have to play sidekick. This is what they asked for, now lets see if the Heat can figure these “Decisions” out.
