Uh oh. Is there dissension among the ranks in Miami? LeBron James has done everything for the Heat so far this series and hasn’t had the luxury of having the required help from the likes of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. In fact, LeBron has statistically outperformed Wade and Bosh combined in this series, as Mario Chalmers has proven to be the second best offensive weapon.
Following game 6, LeBron was asked about the help he isn’t getting from Wade and Bosh and said,
“I mean, we can state the obvious; they’re both struggling,” James said of Wade and Bosh. “When you’re struggling, the best thing to get is a layup or a dunk. [Wade] missed a couple of them … Chris is struggling with his shot and him hurting his ankle didn’t help.”
I’m sure that didn’t come from a bad place, but perhaps it was taken that way by Wade, who has resembled a role player of late. Wade replied:
“We’ve got to do a good job of making sure me and Chris have our opportunities to succeed throughout the game. That’s something we’re going to have to look at as a team.”
“We’ve got guys individually who want to play better,” Wade said. “But we’ve got to try to help each other out in this locker room and not leave it up to the individual to self-will it.”‘
It will be interesting to see how the offense flows in Game 7.
