LeBron James wants to see Chris Andersen get some time after not having played the past two games. "I hope,'' James said about wanting Andersen to play. "His energy and his effort have been big for us all year, so we hope he gets an opportunity tonight.'' Sulia The latest Nike LeBron X Low to surface is an interesting one, not only for its looks but the details. On the surface, the Nike LeBron X Low features a predominantly floral based pattern on the upper and even some detailing on the Black patent leather. It could be a nod to palm trees and South Beach, thus putting this colorway on par with those like the ‘Miami Nights’ Nike LeBron 8 Low and ‘LeBronold Palmer’ Nike LeBron 9 Low. But a further look at the sneaker may best describe what Nike had in plan for this colorway. A look at the insole of both sneakers reveals a “11-12, 12-13″ graphic in one foot and “2 Time Champion” in the other foot. Perhaps is this a bit of foreshadowing on Nike’s behalf? With the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs going head to head in Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight, the result may let us know the fate of this colorway of the Nike LeBron X Low. Kix and the City ![]() "If the Heat don’t win it, I think you could say they’re the best team not to," said Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse, who played with Miami the first part of the 2010-11 season when the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had just joined forces. "Just with how dominant they were in the regular season and coming off a championship." FOXSports Florida |

![]() Spoelstra said James' recall helps because ultimately it's attention to detail that helps a team win. "That's how coaches are," Spoelstra said. "We remember details and we want to emphasize those details. And when your best player recalls the minor things and also understands the importance of those things, it has a big impact on our team." James looks at his ability in two ways. "Sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn't," he said. "Sometimes it can cloud my mind too much and I get to thinking about the game too much instead of just playing. Sometimes I'm able to put myself in situations that are better for me and better for our team by knowing what happened before. "I guess it's a gift and a curse." USA Today Sports Kurt Helin: LeBron on why the Heat haven't won two games in a row: "If I knew we would have won two games in a row." Twitter @basketballtalk |

![]() Ryan Wolstat: "I think it's time ... Time to win consecutive games. Enough is enough." - LeBron James Twitter @WolstatSun Ethan J. Skolnick: LeBron says he wasn't the one to haze rookies like Danny Green in Cleveland: "Most of the time it was Shaq." Twitter @EthanJSkolnick Dan asked if he would ever suit up in practice. “I'm not going to suit up in practice,” Kidd said. “Even if we're shorthanded. And I'm not going to have the uniform under my suit.” Dan also asked Kidd who he thought the best point guard of all time is. He immediately said John Stockton and followed him up with Magic Johnson. Here is Kidd’s all-time NBA team: PG: John Stockton SG: Michael Jordan SF: Scottie Pippen PF: Tim Duncan C: Shaquille O’Neal Dan said “no LeBron?” Kidd said that he could play LeBron at five.

![]() James had 33 points and 11 rebounds, Wade had 32 points, six steals, six rebounds and four assists and Bosh had 20 points and 13 rebounds in Miami's 109-93 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, tying the best-of-seven series at 2. "Tonight was a Big 3 night. It just was," Heat reserve forward Shane Battier told USA TODAY Sports. "We all knew it on the bench. It was their night. When we have success, they receive a lion's share of the credit, and deservedly so. But when we have failure, they take a lot of the criticism as well. "They knew they were going to play better, and they just made it happen." USA Today Sports Ben Golliver: "He went back in his bag tonight, he was 'Flash' tonight." -- LeBron James on Dwyane Wade Twitter @blazersedge Brett Pollakoff: LeBron on if Wade is hurting: “Yeah, he’s hurting. Of course he’s hurting. He’s been playing with a bum knee all year.” Twitter @BrettEP With the focus on LeBron James, and with Dwyane Wade a franchise mainstay, Bosh tends to be the name most often mentioned when it comes to the Heat's position against the salary cap, the luxury tax, and now against the Spurs in this third consecutive trip to the NBA Finals. "It's something that you can't ever overcome," he said of being the third wheel in the team's hierarchy but the team's leading man on the rumor mill. "So why should you even try to prove people wrong? I just play the game." South Florida Sun-Sentinel |

![]() “I slept great last night,’’ James said before Game 4. “I slept great this afternoon. I’m looking forward to the opportunity we have tonight.’’ Sulia Rod Boone: LeBron:"JKidd is unbelievable, one of the best teammates I’ve ever played with ... one of the best friends I’ve ever had on & off the floor" Twitter @rodboone Rod Boone: More LeBron on Kidd: "He’s not inheriting a bad team. He's inheriting a good team, so that makes the job easier too." #Nets Twitter @rodboone ![]() "Everybody knows I'm a LeBron fan, I always tweet good things about LeBron," World Peace said. "This is straight as a fan. I'm a fan now. I'm not in the playoffs, so I'm a fan of the game enjoying the playoffs. When I'm in the playoffs, I'm not enjoying anybody. So, as a fan, sometimes to see LeBron not take over, I'm kind of like, 'Come on, let's do it.' His pops went to jail with my older brother. My brother spent 10 years in jail, they were locked up together. I'm a fan of LeBron, so I always want to see him do well and sometimes I'm like, 'Step it up! Start playing.' " ESPN.com ![]() Pardon Tracy McGrady if he sometimes forgets to use “we’’ when talking about the San Antonio Spurs. “Give San Antonio some credit of defending (LeBron James),’’ McGrady said Wednesday as if he were talking about some team in the league other than his own. FOXSports Florida “We’re doing a hell of job,’’ McGrady said after remembering he indeed now is a member of the Spurs. “We’ve got a guy (Kawhi Leonard) on him and when he drives, we got our big guys coming and just compacting the lane, keeping him off the free-throw line. When you’re not getting to the free-throw line and hitting free throws and you’re not getting layups, then the only thing left is for you to take jumpers. Then you’re not in a rhythm.’’ FOXSports Florida |
