Nice call on the Celts resigning Perkins.

No players "need the ball in their hands". They need the ball in position to exploit matchups and to be able to attack the defense effectively. Playing James at the point the majority of the time makes defending Miami much easier.

The idea that they dont know how to "handle" the last 3 minutes of tight game is stupid. The problem is neither James or Wade is a great off the dribble shooter. But the offense that they are currently playing forces that very thing. Ideally you would want James and/or Wade attacking the basket from the wing with Bosh a pop out option and Miller a bailout. What is happening now is James has the ball, Wade is overplayed/or has the 5th wheel's defender helping out on him and Bosh/miller are merely decoys.
