Wade's hustle and energy

[Mars]

When it matters most, Wade delivers. That's all that matters.

Wade's doing the dougie on these "Wade's declining" topics in RealGM

[diablerouge]

wade was hitting his pull up jumper today - that's the difference. his effort level didn't really change and there were a few sequences where he argued with a ref instead of going back in transition, he also didn't play his best game on kobe who had his way backing him down (he usually doesn't give anything to kobe).

i never bought that wade was declining but i'm not buying that he was hustling more today either, he hit jumpers. it's crucial for miami that he goes back to his reliable pull up to open up the game for him and teammates.

Wade has just be in another zone lately I love it. I saw online that Spo was saying the team wanted end the half of the year on a good run and LeBron and Wade seem to have answered that.

I saw him complain once and he still got back in time to pick up his man. I don't see you complain about LeBron doing it.

Regarding his defense on Kobe, it's hard to be physical when the refs call every bit of contact and when you're in foultrouble because of it as it is. Did you want him to sit next to LeBron on the bench towards the end of the 1st half? Wade was a terror defensively in the 2nd half, especially with his crucial steals and deflections in the 4th and it was him who forced Kobe in a couple of misses at that time as well. If you don't consider Wade being all over the place and getting us stops an increased effort compared to the start of the season and compared to last year, you must either not watch the games properly or not like Wade, because complaining about him now is just dumb.

Also, his pull-up jumper has been there all season as evidenced by his good shooting numbers.

1- dwyane did it at least twice yesterday. the reason why i don't "complain" about lebron arguing over calls instead of getting back in transition is because he doesn't do it nearly as often. tom crean acknowledged on the lebatard show that wade has been doing this since his marquette days, i don't know how that can be argued.

2- i thought the game was actually officiated fairly on both sides. you're talking about early foul trouble but kobe backed down wade easily in the 4th too and missed some bunnies. as i said, d-wade usually gives nothing to kobe but yesterday he wasn't denying him post position as hard - it happens.

3- no agenda vs wade. lebron wasn't more lively than usual either yesterday. we had a good shooting day with chalmers and battier firing and our system becomes impossible to defend when we knock down open jumpers. we actually had an average game defensively i found, kobe was in the lane all game spinning for good looks vs wade but also allen and battier.

such a double standard. Just because Lebron does it less often you let it slide?

youre just another typical post 2010 heat fan.

youre really going to try and find something wrong with the game yesterday?
bron and wade had identical numbers. just enjoy the history both men are making.
if wade wasnt on this team and you saw (insert nba player name here) scoring 30 points at 60% fg with 3 steals you would be begging for that guy to be the 2nd option on your team. probably the first option on many teams.

No.1: Kevin said it all. Besides, I didn't see him do it often recently, so again, why complain about it now?

No.2: Kobe Bryant had 8 points in the 4th yesterday and that includes his shot with 13 seconds left. He drew a foul on Allen and a foul on Wade for 4 FTs and made a heavily contested fadeaway from 12 feet against Wade (where Wade did a great job of giving him a little room and then held his ground outside the paint, which forced him into the shot. He hit a similar one over LeBron in the 1st quarter, do you wanna say he didn't defend him well either?). He was 2/3 from the field so I don't know where he "missed some bunnies". He also had three turnovers, which is usually a result of good defense.

No.3: We shot 6/16 from downtown (Chalmers had 6 FGs, 3 of them were in the paint). Against the Clippers we had a good shooting day (we had 46 of our 107 points in the paint yesterday, whereas against the Clips we only had 24 of our 111 points in the paint), last night we lived off of the efficiency of Wade and James, who took over when it mattered the most.
Our average day defensively was because Chalmers couldn't keep Nash in front of him and because Ray couldn't guard his grandmother and yet we put him on Kobe. We also struggled defensively because they were better prepared against our hedging and our trapping and exploited it to create open shots. We also struggled defensively because we went small against Dwight Howard, who the Lakers should've gone to far more often. We also struggled a little yesterday because the officiating was uneven (26-14 FTs for LAL, 17-27 fouls).

Also, how can you say LeBron wasn't more lively? The guy was so active defensively, yet you claim he wasn't more active than usual? Those are the games LBJ always gets up for and I didn't see him relax the way he does against the Bobcats last night.

Again, you're trying to discredit players who carried us to victory with their performances on both ends of the floor last night and that is just odd.

Wade's revival gives me hopes that we can stay at the top for the next 3-4 years

again took over the game in the 4th quarter. rebounds and assists are also worth to mention.
