Wade's Belief is getting stronger....

[Heat_Fan_87]

I am really hoping wade does the following in the playoffs.
-Cut down on the low % shots.
-Does not get lazy on D(arguing with refs)
-Focusses on rebounding, D, and cutting to the rim.

If he does those things it will make games a lot easier.

I'm not worried about Wade's D because he plays very consistent in the Playoffs in that aspect. We all know he is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league but he likes to take plays off from time to time. Now, in the Playoffs he has no reason to.

He just has to keep his own pace and not force anything (whether it's passing or scoring). His TOs rose up quite a bit during his last few games; I expect for him to clean that up.

Great article about Mr. Wade aka WoW aka Grandmaster Flash!
Here's some quotables:

"I mean, let's talk about the obvious," Wade said. "Guys get older. That's obvious. Yes, I've gotten older. Yes, my game has changed. But let's talk production. I'm a productive player. My numbers show it. I buy into the efficiency numbers -- more than I should and it drives me crazy that I buy into it. I look around the league and see guys shooting 41 percent and they're getting patted on the back. I'm shooting 52 percent and I'm on the decline?"
....

"I didn't want that life anymore," Wade said. "I want a different life. This is the life that I choose. Sometimes it's frustrating because I know I've got more, but team success is way more fulfilling than the individual. I've totally changed my game. I tried to do it for what I feel is the best for this team. Was it the best for me individually? Maybe not. But I did what I think is best for this team."

I said this back in December.

Wade and Bosh sacrificed so much because they realized the team is the BEST when LeBron is at HIS BEST, and not when Wade or Bosh are at their best.

The ultimate sacrifice.

Cheers to the The Three Kings.

The guy is shooting 52% from the field as a 6'4 guard, he can't attempt that many low percentage shots, especially given the couple of stinkers he had early in the season due to him returning from surgery.

His defense has been on par in the postseason, so I'm not sure where that concern is coming form.

Focuses on rebounding, defense and cutting to the rim? You make him sound like Tony Allen. Wade's biggest strength is still the pick and roll/pop game, where he is not only a good driver but also a good passer. Thanks to him rediscovering his pull-up jumper, he's a great weapon in those scenarios. Wade is also an efficient post player, which opens the game up for everybody else and makes us more dynamic. If anything, that's where I'd like to see him a lot more, especially against the likes of Avery Bradley, Monta Ellis or Marco Belinelli.

If your points are what you have in mind for Wade, then we might as well amnesty him because he would be a waste of money to us and we would waste his talents even further.

have you watched wade at all this year? he is having one of his best seasons in a while. most efficient too.

wade has never dissapointed in the playoffs. i seriously have no idea why you hope he doesnt do them, if he never really has.

just hope he stays healthy.

look at his statline tonight. he's ready

[Altered_Beast]

wade has the post season itch. you could tell by tonight. lebron is probably meditating in tibet right now or something preparing the spirit bomb hes finna drop on these yougstas

[This IsMy House]

You can tell Wade is ready for a big post season looks healthy again and ready to attack. I also hope that all these people leaving him off their all-nba 1st and 2nd team gets him even more fired up.

Watch rookie Wade lay siege to the rim in what seems like a billion and one different dunks.

You can tell even his rookie season that he was a legend in the making. The way that he moved when he had the ball...
