Discuss D-Wade's performance in Game 5 as Heat eliminate Celtics

[Hulk Hogan]

Seriously, how does stern expect you to defend him when you can't even touch him?

[Assassin]

The game was still winnable for the Celtics. They had a good lead in the 4th then the game ended in a 10 something run by the Heat. Turnovers and rebounding were putrid. Heat were the better team. And I'm a Boston fan.

I know that but still! its disgusting watching refs call everything for wade a foul!

[TylerOO]

Wade did go to the line a lot, I agree. But it was all LeBron in the clutch tonight. BOW DOWN to the KING

[SavageMode]

Hulk is mad roflrofrlfl

[Dwade305]

The only bad call was the on Kristic this game. Game 4 was full of intentional fouls on Wade and James, most in the 4th quarter...you even watch the games Hulk?

[Christofire]

James = sidekick

[(e)]

The way the Celtics played at the end of the game just proves that they didn't deserve that win.

Heat were clearly the better team in the series.

[Orlando Magic]

I know that but still! its disgusting watching refs call everything for wade a foul!

I agree... but it's not just Wade. Rose gets the same treatment. Any star perimeter player willing to throw their body into the paint without worried about getting hit will get these calls, period.

Just so happens Rose & Wade attack the basket more than other perimeter stars who settle for more jump shots... and thus they get more free throws.

[Optimus Prime]

I know that but still! its disgusting watching refs call everything for wade a foul!

To be fair, both Wade and LeBron were attacking the paint pretty relentlessly. It's not like the fouls were phantom calls on the perimeter.

It was pretty amusing watching Wade and LeBron making faces and gestures at some no-calls. It's like really? You get the most calls in the NBA BY FAR, and you're complaining?! :hammerhead:

[Big One]

Seriously, how does stern expect you to defend him when you can't even touch him?

U MAD? :roll: :roll:

Where the lakers fishing at?:lol

[kaiiu]

this.

[TylerOO]

Child Please. LeBron won the game in the CLUTCH. Wonder what Skip Bayless will have to say on first and ten tomorrow!

[Assassin]

I know that but still! its disgusting watching refs call everything for wade a foul!
Yeah the calls were ridiculous but the Celtics had a chokejob in the last 5 minutes of the game.

[Glide2keva]

lebron hit two clutch 3's and got a steal for a breakaway dunk to seal the game.

What the problem is?

[DMizzle]

lebron last 10 points for the heat

[derb2k2]

the OP(who is a ******* btw), is mad as f*ck that the Heat are in the ECF's and his punk ass lakers got swept like a little girl seeing Justin Beiber live

[SavageMode]

kaiuu, christofire, ne_1, and hulk are all on suicide watch right now.

[Harison]

Pathetic officiating, but I'm not blaming refs, Heat were the better team. Refs cost Celtics GM4, but the rest of the games teams won/lost by themselves.

[DWade06]

you haters sicken me. They both played GREAT. Are we going to pretend that Lebron didn't score 10 straight points to end the game?:lol

[kaiiu]

kaiuu, christofire, ne_1, and hulk are all on suicide watch right now.

Wade carried the team/s offense for 3 quarters, putting James in position to be lucky, I mean clutch......


Bout time james grew some backbone, He's wade hired help the least he can do is help i guess?

[NugzHeat3]

James = sidekick
It doesn't matter who had the better game, sorry. The HEAT won and that's all I am really concerned about instead of this crap about who's the sidekick, 1a/1b, the man etc.

[Christofire]

you haters sicken me. They both played GREAT. Are we going to pretend that Lebron didn't score 10 straight points to end the game?:lol


couple stat padded points with the game already in hand

Aww this kid is so mad. Just accept it, LeBron is the best and will always be the best. Clutch City!

[canefandynasty]

wade Is The Player Of The Game Followed Closely By Lebron

[jrong]

I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk to people who say Wade is just a gambler on defense. The Celtics missed their final two shots at the rim. Know why? The Heat's 6'4" rim protector changed both shots.

[whoartthou]

are we gonna pretend that WADE/LEBRON arent > than kobe, even in his prime?

Nope

[jrong]

Aww this kid is so mad. Just accept it, LeBron is the best and will always be the best. Clutch City!

Dude, you need to get some perspective. Wade is as good or almost as good as James.

[Jackass18]

Who cares who had the better game? Can't we leave it at that both were critical in the win?

[Jome]

If Wade and James's games were switched around you know damn well he'd get called out for not being clutch/not doing it when it matters/sidekick/Wade's team. Over the course of the season we've seen both James and Wade have these types of games, one plays consistent for 3qrts then the other comes up big in the 4th, they're both capable. It's sad how they're constantly pitted against each other by the haters, they don't care, Heat fans don't care, the win is what matters.

[Oositdwn]

Yet somehow Kobe got defensive 1st team and he didn't even make 2nd. Messed up :facepalm

[DWade06]

Yet somehow Kobe got defensive 1st team and he didn't even make 2nd. Messed up :facepalm
:lol :lol :lol :lol I was just laughing my ass off when he didn't get on the all nab defense team.

[mentallooser]

When two players score in the 30s in the same game, on the same team neither is a sidekick that game. They both played a very important role, it makes no sense to me. If the heat win and Lebron has a better game, he is stat padding or front running. If the heat win and Wade had a better game, then Wade carried the team. If the heat lose whatsoever then Lebron is overrated and not clutch. If Lebron does in fact have a clutch game, then it was only one and doesn't mean anything.

Why is it so difficult to enjoy basketball and great players. When you are on the level of a Wade, Kobe, Lebron, Rose, or Howard the difference in skill is irrelevant, any one of those guys can explode with huge numbers at any time guarded by anyone. We as people love to tear down the ones at the top. We are so happy to be reminded that superstars are indeed people with limitations and jump at it as quickly as possible.

[TennesseeFan]

What? Seriously? People in denial because LeBron won the game for the Heat?

[LBJ4MVP23]

Wade did have the better overall game, no doubt.

They have traded who had better games from the get go. The difference is, that in the past 2 games, LBJ HAS CARRIED THE TEAM ALONE IN THE CLUTCH.

10 straight points to close out the win. Suck it haters, sidekick my balls. We are witness a top 5 all time player.

[NugzHeat3]

I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk to people who say Wade is just a gambler on defense. The Celtics missed their final two shots at the rim. Know why? The Heat's 6'4" rim protector changed both shots.
Wade played a damn near flawless game besides the stinker at the charity stripe...

[canefandynasty]

Against Celtics in playoffs. Best playoff performer in the NBA:

2010 Wade
33.2 PPG | 56.4% FG | 5.6 RPG | 6.8 APG

2011 Wade
30.2 PPG | 52.5% FG | 6.8 RPG | 4.8 APG

they're total idiots.


Anyone who's followed Wade knew full well he'd be a beast in these playoffs.


And the best part is, he's just getting warmed up.


MARK THAT DOWN .

[Kingwillball]

Wade is Awesome and it is annoying that there are alot of people who always make it about Lebron vs Wade.. They are both great and need both to play great to win a championship..

[(e)]

GTFO.

LeBron is the GOAT and the Miami Heat are the greatest team in NBA history because of him.

Wade doesn't even deserve to be in the same sentence as LeBron!!!

[derb2k2]

Wade is ma main man, with LBJ a close second. Without Wade's colossal first half LBJ prolly wouldn't have had a chance to seal the deal since the other players weren't really doing much on O. gg

[Hulk Hogan]

12 freethrows a game? GTFO!
I can't honor that shit!

[LBJ4MVP23]

Wade is BALLING. Mark it down, he will go down as the second best SG ever and a top 10 player. He will have more rings than Kobe, better overall stats, and has proven to be a far more efficient scorer.

Top to bottom his resume will give number 2 all time SG status when its all done.

[Hulk Hogan]

Seriously... are we gonna stand for this shit any longer?

[DWade06]

Wade was ridiculously efficient and he didn't even make his free throws if he shot well from the line he could of had 40 points on 19 shots.

[sportstownusa]

Its funny to see all the 3rd grade level comments on this board. I really feel for our country when the intellect level is dropping down this low that we can't even have logical debates. Even worse is that ppl actually believe the crap that come out of their mouth.

Why can't we just leave it at both Wade AND Lebron brought it today. Both of them played winning bball. Both of them contributed very well to their win. If one of them didn't have as good of a game, then they would have lost. It's simple as that. I am a HUGE Kobe fan. But it doesn't blind me to talent when i see it.

Only idiots will claim that Lebron is a sidekick to Wade. Only idiots will claim that Wade is a sidekick to Lebron. The entire season we saw that they are both first options about equally on average. Some games they go to the person who is feeling it more. They both play extremely well, and have an equally huge impact on the game.

It's also funny that when Lebron shows up in the clutch....it's "luck" and then when he chokes in the clutch, it's because he's "mentally weak" or a "choker". I think it's time that majority of the people on this board stop talking out of their a$$, or just bash a player because he might be a rival of your favorite player, or has crappy fans, or even because of race. When you see greatness, just be happy that you got to witness it. I for one am glad that i've got to witness amazing bball this playoffs already - the best one being Lakers getting swept by my mavs of course :D

So he's going to have at least 6?

[LBJ4MVP23]

HAHAHA Hulk Hogan is a CRY BABY.

Wade and LBJ are among the league leaders in Ft's per game. This isnt a jump shooter going to the line 20 times, these are two slashers getting to the line vs a physical team. Cry more because the Lakers with "the best player" in the NBA, an elite center, the second best PF, and 6th man of the year got swept, and kobe bry-cant QUIT AGAIN.

[kidachi]

ahhh. Hulk's mad. music to my ears.

goodluck next year man.

[LAClipsFan33]

Most def

[Rysio]

no.

[dsrdsr]

Seriously... are we gonna stand for this shit any longer?

No.. Just ride your broom. :lol

[SebasMiamiFan]

All the Heat fans told you guys that Wade goes on a whole other level in the playoffs.

[kaiiu]

Bruce Wade earned my respect this POs:applause: dude came up big

[derb2k2]

what an amazing first half by Wade who single-handedly kept the game as close as humanly possible for the Heat.

34 pts on 13-19 fga 10 rebounds 5 assists 4 stls
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[LAClipsFan33]

Awesome games from Lebron and Dwyane

[DuMa]

aint no big 3. its a goddamn 2 headed monster.

[gilalizard]

Heat were clearly the better team in the series.


The Heat are far more stacked. It's a lot easier for them.

It's clear, but hardly impressive.

Good question.. It's mostly the Lebron haters. They're mad cuz he was terrific, so they are trying to make it a Lebron vs Wade thing. Real heat fans know that no such thing exists. It was a pleasure watching them play their hearts out tonight..
Go Heat!!!!

[King Lebron LBJ]

Wade just refused to lose, without his first half performance Boston could up been up 12-15 points.

[24r2]

Wade>James

[brownmamba00]

Wade>James
this

Its funny how everyone calls Kobe a sidekick in the Shaq era (which he was).
Shaq carried the team for the first 3 quarters and Kobe made the finishing touches in the fourth.
Now its LeBron making clutch plays while Wade carries him for the whole game but supposidly its a 'two-headed monster' now:oldlol: Superman and Batman:roll: :facepalm

If Wade didnt carry those scrubs the entire game untill the last 3 minutes it wouldve been a C's blowout.

Unbelievable performance by Dwayne Wade. He's indeed the best SG in the game.

[Human Error]

It was pretty amusing watching Wade and LeBron making faces and gestures at some no-calls. It's like really? You get the most calls in the NBA BY FAR, and you're complaining?! :hammerhead:
Kobe and Durant are guys that get the most phantom calls. They average almost 10 ft's a game even without attacking the rim. The Laker fans should not have much to say when LeBron and Wade actually earn them.

Wade doesn't get hated on.

[Dbrog]

lebron hit two clutch 3's and got a steal for a breakaway double dribble to seal the game.

What the problem is?

In fairness...the double dribble had no affect on the outcome of the game. It was so random though :wtf: ...never seen it happen.

[DuMa]

it might have been a travel but no way it was a double dribble. he knocked that ball clean from the pass from delonte. that wasnt a dribble. the ball was loose and he grabbed it and then dribbled it once and dunked it. the amount of steps he took before taking that one dribble is questionable.

[24r2]

yeah who the hell is hatin on the world best basketball player(wade)?

[sic]

Wade once again proving to be the best SG in the game today

[nashwade]

he's 29 this year so hopefully 4-5 more years of peak performance

[Trigg]

Seriously, how does stern expect you to defend him when you can't even touch him?

You'll be banned any time soon, with a bit of luck.

Clueless.

[LA_Showtime]

It's just hilarious how often Wade gets overlooked. Left off first team? Check. Left off all defensive team? Check. Overlooked in MVP voting? Check. Plays ridiculously well, and gets overshadowed because LeBron goes on a rampage and scores the final 10 points? Check. :oldlol:

[KOLBCTEW]

Well, he's incredible, no doubt in my mind. Tied for best SG in the game today on my list. But he shouldn't deserve to be in the MVP race because he's teamed up with Lebron. Neither should Bronzy btw. But that's how I feel about looking at a MVP.

If the fool had made his FTs, he would have had 40, there would have been no LBJ rampage, and the storyline would have been, "Wade carries Heat into Eastern Conference Finals...."

Tied with who? Let it go, people. Kobe is an all-time-great, but his time is in the past now. He's in a different stage of his career, and people need to come to terms with that.

[NY-Knicks]

Tied with who? Let it go, people. Kobe is an all-time-great, but his time is in the past now. He's in a different stage of his career, and people need to come to terms with that.

He didn't perform the way he used to, and maybe I'm slightly biased here but I say he's tied or very close. But the legacy he's created makes me say he's still tied. Just like with other older players, you give them more respect because of what they have accomplished.

[NY-Knicks]

I can't believe the Shaq-Kobe-Duncan era is over.
Look at the Finals since 1999.
