All I've seen are posts bringing up how this affects Lebron's legacy. Wade was just as important to the team - and despite the fact he had a great series, he choked when it mattered.
I think the entire Heat organization needs to be crucified. They never could really incorporate all three of their all-stars games together. It was Lebron earlier in the playoffs - Wade in the finals - Bosh was sporadic. That's indicative of poor coaching. Spo is gone.
Well more specifically that Wade should be above Kobe on the All-time list....Obviously Kobe is aging now and Wade is better than him RIGHT NOW... But all I kept hearing was how Kobe needed Shaq, how Kobe needed Pau... Wade had Lebron and still came up short. Just goes to show you even if you have a talented team it takes a lot to win, which is why the Wade ppl should give Kobe his due.
Until LeBron's douchery is contained and destroyed this team will not be successful. Some players just need to learn how to win. Let's be fair, Bosh should not be in the same conversation as Wade and Bronny. Bosh is good at best. Wade or Bronny need to just take over this team. Spo needs to go. Bring in a strong authoritative coach, Jackson, JVG, someone like that, and you got more rings than fingers...
Wade played hurt, I believe in this game he wasn't 100%, but he's a warrior. LeBron has higher expectations cause he's a better player than Wade, plus a 2 time MVP. Credit the Mavs for playing good D on him.
i agree but it also shows you what a great coach can do as well. i guess the whole "phil jackosn only won because he had the most talented team" argument can be put to rest.
Yeah I hate that argument as well. I'm not trying to take away from Wade, but I just get tired of hearing... "Kobe needed Shaq, Kobe needed Pau." and "Phil had Jordan, Phil had , Shaq, Phil hadKobe(and mostly from the same people dissing Kobe)..." This series just goes to show you how difficult it is to win a championship even if you think you are the more talented team. So those that DO win them have deserved the respect.
I don't know if it's bad coaching. their defense was excellent throughout the playoffs. If Pat Riley really needed to hire a respected hall of fame coach, he'll just replace Spo with himself.
It's not bad coaching, it's having two players who feel they're good enough to change what the coach wants at any given time, especially in crunch time. It's not all great when you have two guys like that.
Because Wade came to play, & Lebron coulda willed himself better? I'd rather Wade struggling with a balls-out effort than Lebron's "safe" empty triple double.
Wade didnt play better than LeBron in Game 6 and Wade choked away multiple FTs in crunch time. I have no idea how you guys can defend Wade when hes just as important to the Miami Heat as LeBron is
