    The upside is that we finally no longer have to hear Chicago guys like Wilbon crow about how Wade is the best shooting guard in the NBA (because Kobe Bryant was never born in this reality) or the second-best player in the NBA (because Kevin Durant I guess doesn't exist either) or any of these other false honorifics.

    Enjoy your broken down Complayne Wade, Miami.

    He's 55-yr-old Batman in the Dark Knight. Or maybe Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond.

    Wade's game was 90% based on his athleticism. He never learned how to shoot. Its sad. Dude used to be one of my favorite players and now he's starting to fall off.

    Just because Charles couldn't shut his mouth tonight shouldn't sway you about Wade. He still has it, just maybe needs to change his game a bit or get his legs back.

    Wade has been like this ever since playoffs of last year.
    This reminds me way too much of T-Mac when his athleticism started to peel away.

    He's also shooting two less FG's a game this year and he's down four points from last year.. Just like the Celtics everyone's will dip. When Boston had their big 3 and ray was the leading scorer no one doubted pierce was still the best player and probably still the best scorer on his team.

    He's off the cycle. He needs to get back on the roids.

    remember when all these analyst clowns argued as part of their hate for LeBron going to Miami "this is dwayne wade's team!" yea LeBron sat back year 1 and saw them lose in the finals. Didn't take long it to be his team.

    Wade's days as the alpha male are over.

    this. i think he did too? i remember people predicting the Heat to start slow because Wade may take time to get back to 100%.
    We'll have to wait and see. If he doesn't look faster by the March/April, i'd be very worried.

    DWade isn't done, he's just realized that with LeBron on his team he can coast during the regular season and let LBJ do all the work and take it up a few notches in the playoffs or whenever he feels like it. So it's mostly a lack of effort and disinterested play.

    Been on the decline after the 08-09 year, he posted up some MVP type numbers that season. But with Lebron, and Bosh he isn't required to do as much work now anyways, so it all works out for him.

    He'll wake up during the playoffs and make a good contribution like he always does.

    He can't shoot if his life depended on it.
