I never saw in game 6 LeBron's leadership in getting his players involved more once the Spurs made their runs. It seemed like LeBron just accepted inevitable defeat. I know he played well, but I don't think he played great, like he did at times when he took over while with the Cavs, i.e, the Pistons game four. I didn't see the fire, any killer instinct. Remember how he would get his Cavs' teamates involved, sometimes chastizing them, i.e., telling Drew Gooden to go strong? He also left at the six minute mark and never returned.
Game six, elimination game, and the best player in the game is on the bench with six minutes to go?
Anyone else think this was all odd for him?
I think it was odd that he showed up for game six at all, seeing as the series had ended a game earlier.
