:lol: so much for trap game, smh... Mr. WOW came up big in the fourth...

That two handed jam over everyone was the perfect exclamation point on a brilliant 4th quarter.

Hes lookin like FLASH again...

[ThePersianFreak]

D-Wade baby
He's declining ... HAHA !!
it was like 20th good game for wade in last 25 games. he's getting better and better , he still can average 26/6/6 if he has to, to me when he's ON , he's the second best player in the game.
he CAN dominate the game at both ends unlike Durant and Kobe that are one way players these days.
LeBron is LeBron and When wade's cooking like this , it's over.

[This IsMy House]

I'd like to take this moment to send a special thank you to Charles Barkley for coming out so early and doubting Wade, just more motivation to go on this streak.

He's been great in the 4th since he's gotten his rhythm back. I mean 14 4th quarter points vs LA / 16 pts in the 4th against Portland, and today 11pts in the last 5:00 min. He's been amazing at closing games.

I never doubted him. He was hurt last year when we won the title. Everyone thought he was declining but it was clear he didnt have any lift because of his knees. Then in the offseason he got his surgery, took the olympics off to recover, and now BAM, hes donned his superhero tights again....

[BlackBerry]

We won this game, even though I knew it would be a tight game. On to the next 11 - 0 streak.

Kyrie Irving is the best player in the 4th quarter they said. Most clutch in the league they said.

I've seen people say that and a few Heat fans said it in this thread. It seems everyone is drinking the Kool Aid. And you can't be a clutch player when your team only has 18 wins and 33 losses. A clutch player would at least keep that team near .500. I won't even talk about how he disappeared in today's game with a chance to be clutch when they actually went up by like 8pts and the Heat came storming back.

[Tim_Hardawayy]

You have to consider, Kyrie gets extra love for a couple reasons.

1, he's flashy, people love flashy players. Not the BEST athlete, but a real wizard with the basketball.

2, he plays for Cleveland, and people have a soft spot for the Cavs still because of LeBron leaving.

3, he's in those awesome Uncle Drew commercials.

That said, yeah he's a really good young player. But I do think his hype has started to outgrow his actual level of play.

[420]

Good points, Tim_Hardaway. It's just funny that people will put their rep on the line to join the herd in a feel-good story. TBH, I didn't even notice Irving in this game. Overrated.

[narmerguy]

I thought Irving played well in this game. Obviously not a masterful performance, but give our defense some credit. I thought Cole did a good job on him and Bron obviously did some work too in the end. Chalmers got beat a bunch but whatever. Irving is a very good young player and it's not just blinding athleticism like other promising PGs (Rose, wall, etc). It's obvious he's not on superstar level yet but I don't think anyone really thinks that. Most people just think that he's very good for his age and that if he keeps his development up, he'll be superstar level in a few years. Not that hard to believe.

[krikor]

It was same as portland game, toying and finishing things

go up 20, cavs bring it to 7. go up 22, cavsn go up by 9 ( 27 pt turnaround lmao)..
then finish things.

I never had result in doubt.even when cavs went 9 up.

[DWadeno3]

Lebron had 28/3/8, who are you referring to?

Your sarcasm detector must be broken...

I understand your sarcasm, but the fact that people joke about those topics with OUR players is disturbing.

from Haberstroh grading of LeBron

"Seconds after somehow completing a 360-degree, through-the-legs, off-the-backboard dunk in pregame warmups,"

- is he really doing this sh*t in the shootarounds? I have heard about his personal dunk contests, although this may be exaggerated.

lol .. Media Hype 101!

The 360 is on the ground .. the between the legs starts before he throws the ball up .. "off-the-backboard" is pretty much the only thing good about it

From the GB, the dunk in question is at the very end - around 0:35 mark

Lol It's a Miami Heat thing. Dwyane Wade always talks about the basketball gods.

While Wade speaks of the merciful Basketball Gods, Shane speaks of the vengeful Basketball Gods. Oh, to be a fly on the wall of the Heat locker room during that squads' fiery theological debates.

You need to post more man.
