    Bosh hasn't been as impactful as Horry was when he was helping teams win titles. I said it....

    Lebron hasn't even had his best game yet. It's a wrap.

    Game 4 will decide the series. Pacers are hanging on for dear life now.
    There will be one LeBron James take over game and it hasn't even happened yet.
    GG Pacers.

    That quote about being able to shoot 3 but not doing so really sums it up, you always hear about Melo and WB being called "great" or "pure" or "versatile" scorers but at the end of the day what matters is how efficient are you putting the ball in the hole. Web and Melo always end up with high ppg but they always chuck a bajillion shots to get there. There's a reason why dwade has 3 rings and those guys have 0, Wade actually does the things necessary for winning games rather than pumping stats.

    That said, Wade only shoots 29% from 3 for his career.

    The series has already been decided. It's just a matter of if the Pacers can take it to 6.

    Wade and Lebron have shot 50% from the field in each of the first 3 games of the series. The Pacers' defense has simply not been very good and their offense has always been somewhat limited. If those trends continue, Heat can win the series in 5 games.

    Those were some terrible foul calls on Paul George.

    Oh by the way Wade is the Tim Duncan of Shooting Guards.

    Wade is the one who is always acting hurt and exhausted.

    Because Wade is best friends with LeBron and LeBron came to Miami? I don't believe either of the other players that you mentioned played on the type of team Wade was on when he actually was the top option in 06.

    Against three relatively good defensive and slow-paced teams. Pretty impressive

    Doubt he can keep it up against the Spurs and whatever scheme they're designing for him
