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

[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.

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

I was just laughing my ass off when he didn't get on the all nab defense team.

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.

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.

Wade played a damn near flawless game besides the stinker at the charity stripe...

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 .

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
