LeBron, DWade and the rest of the Miami Heat loses 4th game in a row

I'm starting to wonder: is this the championship material everyone's talking about last July? The Miami has been 1-18 when it comes to games decided by 4 points or below. What the heck is happening? Don't they know their roles? Or are the stars too much in their planet?

I think when the game is on the line, James should defer to Wade instead of him holding the ball. Anyway, Miami should really be Wade's team because he came first. Since Wade is used to being the closer of the team, Wade should remain the closer and Lebron should sacrifice. Wade is the proven closer in that team, not Lebron. That way, their chemistry is not disrupted. As it appears now, I think Wade is regretting why he let Lebron in the team. It looks like Lebron is making Miami his team.

They're not built for immediate wins. They took the top player of three teams, players who all demand touches and demand the offense run through them, and tried to develop a team dynamic around that. Maybe it will eventually work. But they have no legitimate point-guard, even with Bibby in there, and they have no legitimate post presence. They have two Micheal Jordans and one Scottie Pippen. They don't have a Rodman or Longley or any of the essential pieces to be the superteam they really, really want to be. So, there's a fix to that. D-Wade and James both strive to be that MJ role. The solution to victory, I believe, is for them to both step back and play Pippen and allow Bosh to be the star. Play inside-out basketball more like Orlando does. Instead of settling for the three, however, you have two extremely dynamic players with range, mobility and overall basketball ability that can break down defenses and create even more paint opportunities when man or zone skips to double, and you also create more appearances at the foul line and get to keep a measured pace. Bring James down in the high post and let Wade be the legitimiate 2-guard. They're a mess right now. If they weren't as talented as they were, they would be well out of playoff contention. But talent doesn't mean championship. And until they figure out how to operate as a team, they'll be swept out of the playoffs by teams like Boston and Chicago.

Ya ,NBA is a place where amazing happens.it is quite absurd that the team having great players like Wade,Lebron,etc are loosing their games in a row.Perhaps these are the players who is best that any team can get.Even then....it is really ridiculous.Now Ia m clear that it is not the name that matters, but the game.
