And yeah, you absolutely need more from your alleged #3 scorer (18 PPG average this year) in Russell than zero points and perpetual awful performances in the playoffs if you're ever gonna beat that team.
And who would you suggest Ham play over Russell anyway? Their bench players suck too. They need him to show up in these games given their lack of secondary scoring and he just doesn't do it.

I agree AD has played great early in the games but my expectation is like any other superstar is to show up in the important moments. AD has no showed 2 4th quarters in a row, took 1 shot in Game 2 and 2-3 shots last night. That is unexpectable for a superstar.
All I am saying he needs to share in the blame along with DLO and Ham and probably others. Lebron has done what he can do.
