The Miami Heat began falling apart in the third quarter of Game 3 against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Thursday, and Lance Stephenson was sure to let them know. The Pacers benchwarmer gave a choking gesture after LeBron James missed a technical foul free throw late in the third quarter.
James missed nearly every field goal he attempted in the second half after starting off the first half well. Dwyane Wade missed most of his shots at the time of the gesture, and Shane Battier had missed all his field goal attempts.
I’m not sure if you call this a choke, but it was another poor effort from the Heat.

On the day LeBron James was named NBA Most Valuable Player, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra joked how he privately calls his star "One Through Five," since he is capable of playing all five positions. With Chris Bosh now sidelined in this Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers, it's almost as if it has become all LeBron all the time. And...

We start with this one here. This has been the common opinion about Lebron James these days (well years). Although not much statistical evidence backs this up, a lot of moments like this help the anti-Lebron team's case. Anyways, you never want a rookie showing you up on national tv. Think Lebron will see this video soon?
Ah, Dwyane Wade...

Both teams had chances to take the lead with free throws. Both teams combined for 2-8 in the final minute...

Another Miami Heat loss and another last second shot not taken by their star player, Lebron James. With the ball and down by 3 points, the Heat decided to pass the ball into Mario Chalmers hands to have a chance at tying the game with a three. Chalmers does have the better 3-point stroke, shooting 38.8% from behind the arc but James’ numbers are right behind him at 36.2%. If the...

Let’s be clear: There will be no saving LeBron James from a playoff collapse this time.
There’s no excuse to be made. You could talk about Chris Bosh’s injury being a factor, but that doesn’t change the fact that LeBron played one of his worst games of the year against Indiana last night.
22 points, 22 shots, 7 rebounds and general disinterest. None of that stat line...
