re: How can a team with King James keep getting bounced early in the playoffs?

See Dwayne Wade before LeBron. See Dwayne Wade with LeBron. He was a ghost.... Instead of the generational player.

That was solely because Dwayne Wade could not change his game to play any off ball.

Lebron dramatically got better as a shooter to play some off ball and spread the floor. Wade never did that and his whole game relied upon remaining ball dominant. That isn’t good for Wade when the far superior ball handler/scorer Lebron is on your team.

Again it was a bad team up because Wade could not play off ball. Wade is the entire reason they couldn’t win more because he never really expanded his game as the weaker player. Both Bosh and Lebron expanded their games to make that team up work. The only reason they weren’t better and more dominant is because of Wade.
