Hahaha, he is so strong-willed in his posts it's pretty hard to believe that a simple critique by me would spur him to stop posting all together. Maybe I struck a chord with him? If he didn't think it was true it wouldn't bother him...
And careful how you use the word "blame", as if we have lost some huge asset to the forum. I was hot and cold on the guy, he was OK at times and a jerk at others.
I'm getting the impression you are taking his "side" in that "debate", no?
Yeah long story short, he got called on arguing 2 sides of the same argument (LBJ >= MJ) in 2 different threads 2 years apart. I called him arrogant and argumentative and he said he was going to stop posting cause apparently the board doesn't appreciate him enough and we don't recognize we need people like him to improve the board.
It was pretty funny actually.

Pretty funny how he was passionately arguing against LeBron there, now he's on his nuts. And when called on it he tries to ARGUE that he's not ARGUMENTATIVE. Can't make this stuff up.

My finger will be pointing at
1) Wade... has been a shell of his former self, maybe due to injury but nonetheless he has not been good for whatever reason
2) Bosh... even he agreed he was a key to the series with him matching up with the Pacers big men, but he seems weak and totally outmatched against them
3) Ray Allen... he is just not shooting anywhere near as good from three in the playoffs, its killing them
4) Battier... similar to Allen, just isn't hitting shots like he did in the regular season
I don't blame the coach, the team was playing the same style and same effort as all year the first 5 games of this series, the biggest difference is Wade is a shell of his normal self and Allen/Battier aren't hitting the open threes. Lebron and the scheme are getting these guys "their" shots but they are just missing them. I don't understand what you want the coach to do... bench Wade? but who would you play in his place that is better. Bench Bosh? Nobody better to put in there.
