We going to act like Wade didn't almost cost the Heat the game?

Spo rode the Miller wave til it ran out. Before he took Miller out, they had not scored on consecutive possessions and the Spurs had stopped the bleeding. Wade didnt stop the run. It had already stopped. Was as good as time as any to bring him back in.

Don't you mean that LEBRON almost cost them the game with his two crucial TO's and two bricks in the final 40 seconds? :oldlol:

Blame your guy Lebron for disappearing in the last 3 minutes of the game.

3 killer turnovers, 2 missed threes and a bailout by ray allen.

By the time wade entered, the game already had slowed down, so it wasn't a run anymore.

But still, all the plays late were run to Lebron, so don't act like Wade tried to steal the show.

The offense didn't run through him all game, that's why he didn't scored much points.

This. So many idiots on this forum.

Wade is too busy worried about how tight his pants is gunna fit his crotch area for the post game to be 100% involved in the game.

Miami needs to start shopping him around.

Wade is having one of the worst post-seasons in history and he's still going to end up with another ring. He's pretty much been a negative all post-season. lol crazy.

Wade has certainly been mostly miss all playoffs...although I do think his defense and passing is undervalued here.

But where are the threads about Parker's inept play in the finals? He's been pretty bad and was awful last night. Kobe-esque 6-23 in the biggest game of the year? If he's the 3rd best player in the league and the clear cut best pg in the game like a lot here are saying...better hold him to the same standards.

And that is how you know a player isn't as good as people claim...nobody cares that Parker basically cost the Spurs the game last night. All he needed to do was play halfway decent and they win...probably easily.

Both Wade and Bron had terrible possessions late. Deal with it.

> He had two majestic clutch shots that could've been the story of the game.
If Ray had missed that 3 that's almost certainly what would've been remembered - Parker coming up big down the stretch in the two close games of the series. Duncan would probably have won FMVP based on his stats though.

Yea...and? He's had some non impact games and last night he just wasn't good. He makes little to no impact defensively and he went 6-23. I just don't see a guy like Wade or really any other player that is a supposed top 5 player in the league getting a pass for that.

Which makes me believe people don't think he's actually top 5 like they say.

And Duncan is definitely the fmvp for the Spurs so far in this series.

Well, all I'm saying is that Parker was one shot from another player away from being considered the hero of the series.
I agree that he's been pretty mediocre for his standards if you look at the games as a whole, but that's how people would've looked at it. For instance, people tend to forget that Jordan shot horribly in some of his most famous games.
I think that illustrates the role of luck in championship series like this one.

Of course. But that is more the narrative than reality. Just like Kobe in game 7 of 10 or even Dirk to an extent in game 6 in 11. They just weren't good...and would have been rightfully ripped if they had lost.

But they didn't lose. Parker did. So he doesn't have the "luck" benefit or whatever you spoke of.

He was bad last night and has just been average at best this series overall.

Obviously this.

Wade is in a perfect position basically immune from mass criticism.

Plays crap - injured, LeBron too ball dominant, not getting into rhythm

Plays well - heart of a champion, tough mentally with the injury, alpha dog

If he gets credit for playing well, he must get blamed for playing badly. And he was terrible offensively last night. Even if he isn't dominating the ball, 14 points on 40% shooting. Are you kidding me Wade?

I found it amusing when people were crying he should be the 'man' after his game 4 explosion. He just cannot sustain that level anymore and is too inconsistent.

Of course, there's always the chance he explodes in game 7. But you ride with the ball in LeBron's hand until the end. Limit Wade's minutes if it is hurting LeBron, in all honesty.

he kept doing these dumb stepback jumpers
