LeBron ≠ Clutch
Last night the Miami Heat lost their 2nd straight game, this time to the Los Angeles Clippers. Some may say the Clippers won this game, but sorry, the Heat LOST it. Absolutely atrocious play from Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, & LeBron James led to an implosion during the 4th quarter & overtime. The free throw shooting is what did Miami in as LeBron proved once again, late in a close game, he cannot be relied upon. James only made 9 of 17 free throws, including missing on several key ones late in the 4th, which basically cost them the game. It wasn't just LeBron, to be fair, as the big 3 as a whole played terribly. Chris Bosh (6-16), Dwyane Wade (6-17), & LeBron James (7-19) all had bad shooting nights while Chris Paul played lights out for the Clippers. This was a big road test for the Heat, playing against a good team and they didn't live up to expectations, often times screaming at the referees for more calls to go their way. Caron Butler helped carry the Clippers in the 2nd half, lighting it up for a total of 20 points while Blake Griffin fooled around and got himself a 20 & 12 double-double. Key defensive plays from DeAndre Jordan helped propelled the Clippers to their biggest win this year and Miami is left wondering, yet again, if LeBron's inability to close out games will be their eventual downfall.
