Now I think of it you may have a point. After that 1st quarter the ball movement stopped and you can see Lebrons body language change. It was almost as if he was saying "here you get the ball and do whatever the hell you want with it. Im not going to bail you out".
The point is that even when LBJ is being in passive mode, he still gets to be the mind of the team. We didn't see that today, he just had no participation in the offense whatsoever. Even if we agree that he is hurt, he still would be part of the offense by distributing. Heck even if we agree that his athletiscism is gone (i highly doubt that for a 29 year old), he will still be tremendously effective through other ways. He was off for good tonight and imho that was for a reason. For the younger guys to understund their roles, who will have to be the mind of this team to drive it forward and the inefficiency of iso ball. It's that OR we're kinda screwed a big time...
