You can complain all you want how James has no help and no bench....
But, how in the world do you expect others to contribute with 26 shots in the game 
Half the time they are taking a shot, its a last second shot clock beater because Wade or James has dribbled around for 22 seconds...
Look at Durant last night...19 shots only...pretty sure he had about 4-5 in the 1st half...allowing his TEAM to get into the flow...
Fact is, when Miami comes down the court, 60% of the time Wade or James shoots the ball....
You expect other players to contribute when they know they are splitting 40% of the shots 3 ways....that means they have about a 10% chance to take a shot every possession...thats a great success %
there's a big difference, wade and james are the only players who can create their own shot.
if you have lebron "allowing his 'team' to get into the flow"... wait a minute, you think the heat can afford to let their role players do as they please with lebron or wade simply standing around creating space?
durant can afford to play like that because his role players are actually capable of creating their own shots and even creating shots for teammates.
when wade or lebron is resting, one of the two is so obviously the key to the offense that it becomes one dimensional.
durant is contantly on the floor with harden or westbrook, and sometimes both.
when the heat are on offense, wade or james have to either create their own shot and sink it or grab two to three defenders' attention and kick it out to a chalmers/mike miller/battier.
its pretty hard to drive to the hoop when you have at the least two defenders closing in on you, with garnett patrolling the paint.
and it's been even harder for wade/james since the only competent post player they have offensively is haslem, who has only eclipsed 30 minutes twice in the entire playoffs.
