What does it say about Wade that he couldn't even beat them?

He's was 34 years old and without 2 max big men? He actually won a playoff game with a 6'7 rookie SG/SF as his starting center. Led the Heat in total points, assists, rebounds, blocks, 3pt%, and was 2nd in steals. I'd say he did his part.

So having a star in Dragic, and having Whiteside for half the series wasn't enough?

CBS Sports called him out: http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/bas...n-game-7-loss/

Very quiet indeed. Seems like Wade doesn't have the killer instinct to finish. That's why he's been so miserable in late-game situations since 2010

That Game 7 performance was pathetic, its a shame ESPN hid that from the headlines.


I always knew the myth that Wade was a 'big game performer' was nothing but a lie to prop up his legacy.


Dude flat out quit on his team.

You guys are idiots.

First of all, Whiteside only played in 2 1/2 games and the Heat were already thin up front. The "star" Dragic had a 15 PER in the playoffs.

Wade carried the Heat for the entire playoffs. He's the only reason there even was a game 7. If a 34 year old SG is leading your team in nearly every statistical category, including blocks and rebounds, your team is seriously flawed (or shorthanded). Wade is just the second 34 year old SG in the last 40 years to lead his team to playoff series win.

As a lifelong Wade fan this post deeply hurts me, because every single word of it is 100% truth.

Why was Wade struggling to beat a Raptors team that LeBron is on the verge of sweeping with his eyes closed?



Their supporting casts in the playoffs are about the same btw...

Dragic dropped 30 in game 6 to force game 7.

Wade slurpers revising history not even a month removed from Wade's choke! That's sad!

Dragic "forced" a game 7?

Wade's 4th quarter is what forced a game 7. Regardless, look at the numbers. Wade did EVERYTHING in that series. At 34 YEARS OLD he was his team's top scorer, playmaker, rebounder, shot blocker, and clutch performer. Through he first 2 rounds he was the leading clutch scorer in the entire playoffs.

Please humor me and name the other 34 year old SG's to do what Wade did in these playoffs. Go ahead, I'll be waiting. You can't, because Wade is the oldest player EVER to lead his team in total points, assists, rebounds, blocks, and 3 pt% in a playoff series.

Even if it was prime Wade it would be impressive, much less a 34 year old Wade.

Lebron isn't even the leading scorer for his team.

He has a pair of teammates averaging 25/5 and 18/11 respectively in the playoffs. Even JR Smith is averaging 12 ppg on 67%TS.

If the Heat had Tristan Thompson they beat Toronto, much less Irving or Love. Replace Lebron with Wade and the Cavs still cruise to the finals. They wouldn't have a chance to win in the finals like they currently do, but they'd still get there.

Lol wade played like an all star in the playoffs for the first time since 2012, and everyone was shocked. Wade stans don't realize that it was an insult with all the praise he was getting, and all the praise they were giving him. It was unexpected. It was surprising since his body usually breaks down when the playoffs roll around.

And all those wade stans that downplayed the importance of whiteside. LOL.

LeBron stans are even worse now and that's pretty damn sad.
