Dwyane Wade - “My teammates rely on me. I’ve been here before.”

If he cared he wouldn't have passed the ball so much.

 

I think he was, but the point I think he was making is that Marion made body contact with him during the shot, he got up in the air and lost control of his body, he hit Lebron and that is called a foul. It's just the rules of the game. Unfortunately, the NBA officiating is about blowing the whistle when you feel like it, not necessarily for every infraction. So, yeah, it was a foul, but the ref chose not to whistle it. It only was a "bad shot" because Lebron was expecting to get that call like he did all season. I'm not sure why this game was different.

 

Consummate pro.

Wade is a class act all the way.

 

They rely on each other.

 

Except when he flops. That flop he did (at the end of 2nd quarter I believe) was downright pathetic.

 

What you guys don't understand is how good a defender Marion is. He's giving Lebron fits. Marion did the same thing when he guarded Tmac in his prime. Marion is a very underrated defender and the only person who ever defended on those fun Suns teams.

Lebron went nuts agaist Chicago, and Wade got shut down by the Bulls. Now Bron is getting harassed by Marion and Mavs have no answer for Wade. FACT.

 

The obvious mismatch is Kidd on Wade. You feed and exploit the mismatch.

 

Do y'all realize Kobe has never played as well in the Finals as Wade is now? In other words, if a guy has it going like this then keep giving him the ball? Should LeBron ignore the hot guy similar to Kobe ignoring a 60% shooting Shaq in 2004?

 

Heck, Kobe has never played as well in the Finals as LeBron is now.. and LeBron has been practically invisible.

 

Before game 3:

""I will be in attack mode tonight," James said. "Six free throws in two games for me is unacceptable ... We have to attack. That's when we're at our best."

 

Kobe averaged 34/9/6 in 8 games sweep of Queens and Spurs in 2001 playoff. Compared to him, LeBron wasn't even doing a good job as a sidekick.

 

LOL, sure, Kobe only scored 32 ppg in 2009 finals, LBJ is doing his 22 ppg routine like we saw in 07 finals.

 

lebron and dwade cant be compared to jordan vs. pippen. i think its the first time in history theres a team like the heat.

its like robinson and duncan, or for a very small amount of time, dream and sampson. except the heat has 2 very very good wings.

 

So Robinson = Wade
Duncan = LeBron?

Except Robinson is the one dominating?

 

they rely on wade n lbj. they're both MJ. that's why having that team is unfair.

 

That wasn't the Finals, right? My comment was about the Finals, and the same for the poster that responded to me.

Care to post the shooting % for that series, and compare it to what LeBron is doing this series?

 

I am responding to the argument that LeBron was the man in ESCF and ECF. LeBron was getting 28/.472 in ESCF, and Wade outscored him. The only series LeBron was clearly doing better than Wade was ECF, when he got 25.8/.447 and Wade struggled. But Bosh got 23.2/.600 in that series

Let's face it. Stats-wise, LeBron doesn't even have a series that separate him from his two all stars, while Wade's having one so far.

BTW, we all know Queens/Spurs were the better teams than 76ers. But only the FMVP counted.

 

Wow, what a surprise that you'd bring up Kobe in this. Despite the fact he has played brilliant in the finals before.

 

To your credit you didn't bring up Kobe, Icehouse did.

 

Absolutely agree with you.
