With all of the scrutiny the media piled on LeBron after his game 4 performance, what do you think he will do in game 5?

Do you think he will come out overly aggressive, playing without any kind of rhythm just to appease the media, jacking up shots from everywhere?

Or….will he just play his game, being the fascilitator throughout and take over in the 4th if needed?

This seems like another critical game in the legacy of the most scrutinized athlete on the planet.

No pressure LeBron…ha.

Thoughts?

I think he will be more agressive not exactly force shots up from everywhere, but he will definally have more then 8 points, Bosh called him out so that should add to the fire, I see him having a big 4th quarter that i was expecting from last game. he did well in other areas other then scoring so its not like he was useless

He has too come out much more aggressive as far as looking for his own offense. He is much too good and important to be playing the facillitator role to the extent he has been, and I think it is insane that he has not been getting to the free throw line at least 8 times per game. He has simply not been aggressive enough in driving to the basket to force fouls or keep the Mavericks on their toes, and his doing so would surely help a great deal in creating a better spread on the court and creating open looks. I am expecting him to go for over 25, but really just give more effort in trying to create for himself, which will only help in creating for his team mates.

He should be in attack mode tonight. Get to the lane and to the line. Pretty much play more like wade has been playing lime it’s his last game.
In all his pregame talks he’s been stressing the point that they have to leave it all on the court and be exhausted by the end of the game. After not doing that last game he should be all over the place tonight. Winner of this game wins the series..

I agree I think he comes out much more aggressive early just to put all the critics down but I still expect him to do the majority of the facilitating in the 2nd half. They controlled the majority of the game without him scoring points in game 4, its not like they got blown out due to his performance. If he puts up 20+ the Heat should be able to win this game. Lebron will have to get to the free throw line to do that though he needs to stop settling for jump shots and attack the rim. Wade is going to do his thing, everyone know that. As long as Bosh doesn’t put up a complete stinker and Lebron scores more they should be in position to win once again.

I think the pressure that the media and he himself  has created is getting to him and hes starting to crumble. He must get off to a good start attacking the rim and knocking down the mid range jumpers to build up his confidence. If he struggles early i expect a repeat performance.
