No one is telling you to choose reason over idiocy. I'm simply stating an important point - one that you refuse to address.
Okay, can we FINALLY admit.....

But the thing is, the Heat are STILL not the favorite to win it all. The Lakers and Celtics are. The Heat are prime contenders, but they aren' thte favorite. So if they don't win it all. why should LeBronze be blamed and held responsible?
You people forget that these teams have to play other teams. So if those teams just have more better nights (series) why should the losing team's best player be blamed?

Yes, LeBron has that NOW. This Heat era has just started. If he doesn't get one NOW, but he is still playing out of this world (like he is doing), why are we questioning HIM?
We have to wait and see what this Heat TEAM does with their pieces. But I don't think they are a better TEAM than LA or Boston. So if they don't win it all this year, I won't be shocked. Nor will I be quick to judge Bronze, Wade, or Bosh on it. Just because a team beats you doesn't mean it is YOUR fault. The other team just might be better. As long as they gave it their all is all you can question.

There is an important distinction between saying a player is the most important part of his team and simply attributing a team's win-loss record or championships to ONE player as the ignorant fan does. The first statement still recoginizes that the player, while a great one, is still playing within the greater whole of the team entity that he needs to win.The second statement doesn't.

Man LeBron's influence on the court is the MAIN reason why the Cavs miss him. Creating for others, giving other players open shots. His work on the defensive end. Him being there means his team KNOWS that they had a CHANCE of winning it all. Not playing with LeBron changes that ALL. Don't ignore the mental approach to all of this. If I play with the best player, my confidence level will naturally be higher than if I played with Emmanuel Harris and Maurice Williams.
LeBron not being there is FATAL to that squad. Yes, one man alone has that much power in relation to his team.

"Yes, one man alone has that much power in relation to his team."
Doesn't replace the team though. LBJ wasn't winning those games with everyone else in the bench playing one on five.
What does the first sentence in your sig say?

I never implied that though. Every player has a different role on the court based on what he has shown he can handle; via practice, via other games, via personality, via attitude. LeBron was the focus of the team. Him playing well was a given. His teammates had smaller roles individually, but collectively, they had a big role. Them coming to play during the playoffs was not a given. It was not as sure fire as LeBron holding up his end of the "agreement."
So I ask, why is LeBron being blamed when he usually held up his end of the stick and his teammates generally didn't come playoff time. It wasn't LeBron that was the one choking during those meaningful moments. It was his teammates. So again I ask, why is LeBron being asked to somehow infuse those teammates with this super human ability at all times. He might have done it during the regular season, but there are many other factors that players face come playoff time. Why is LeBron being held responsible for those guys not bringing it on a consistent basis during the playoffs? He shouldn't be held responsible.

We're in agreement here. Just wanted to see where you wet coming from. You're right though, it's pretty silly how people blame another player when someone ELSE doesn't do his job. If LeBron has a bad game, I put it on LeBron, not Wade or Bosh. Same goes for them and every other player.
