Where's the post game 4 thread ?

Frankly, wade should have sat out 2 months until this healed. Having him healthy for the playoffs is more important than the streak and home court. I couldnt beleive spoelstra played him at the end of the season(and at the time stated that he should not olay another game till the playoffs). Very disappointed with the coaching on this one. It could cost us dearly.

Oh, and to those saying he needs kobe treatment, those are two seperate pathologies. A bone bruise will fully heal with time.

Well...Wade has had around 21 days of rest starting from the end of the season and the time off between the Milwaukee Bucks. Not to mention how well his minutes were managed throughout the entire season and even now. The coaching staff did the best you could ask. At the end of the day, Wades a basketball player. He has to play games and bumps and bruises will always be a threat no matter how much you sit out. I'm not sure there's anything else they could have done. Wade is just an injury prone dude but the good news is, Wade never really looks great against The Bulls these days and the series is almost over. Maybe next round he'll get his confidence going and his game should pick up too. The mind is a powerful thing.

From what I read regarding bone bruises, they take several months to fully heal, so 21 days isn't really enough. Knee injuries in a sport where you put a lot of your weight and bang knees a lot are that much harder to contain anyways. Look at what happened to Rafa Nadal, he's one of the best athletes in the world, but hit his knee on a chair with an unfortunate motion and had issues up until recently and had to take several months off to be able to return to form.
The injury itself was unfortunate, but it was clear from the moment it happened that he would need plenty off time off. None of us knew of the injury and then when something was leaked of the severity. The coaching staff knew and probably should've sat him longer. I didn't know how bad it was until full information was leaked and I was able to do some research.

With that being said, a summer dedicated to strengthening his knees and receiving therapy could help him tons going forward, just look at Kobe Bryant.

This is a Sad day for us Heat fans and especially those of us who came to love the Heat because of Dwyane Wade. He was my favorite players since he was drafted and I've always been on his side. He was the best player in the NBA in 2006 and 2008-09 season, IDC what anyone says. He was such a great player then that it's remarkable he is so underrated. The dude averages 30 ppg on excellent efficiency and almost 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks. One of the greatest season ever if you ask me. And now, he is a shell of himself. I've always been in a denial when he had a bad game recently but the injury after injury and the poor performances I think it's time for us to accept that he is 3rd best player in this team and he is not gonna be scoring 35-40 points regularly anymore. Here's to hoping he develops a reliable jumpshot in the offseason for real this time.

what a pathetic post. sports fans are the most fickle human beings.

did you not watch the streak when wade was the 2nd best player on the team?

he is injured, and he is playing it smart by deffering. would you like him to pull a joe johnson and chuck a bunch of shots and cost his team a series? have some respect.

every %&*%ing time he has a bad series or is injured, all these heat fans start saying their condolences. Wade just cant catch a break. just when he is looking unstoppable again, he gets banged up.


and what did you think was going to happen when lebron and bosh came over here? you thought wade was going to average 40 and lebron as well? it's called sacrifice, google it.

Sir did you read my post? Because I never said anything about wade not being our 2nd best player during our streak. Infact, it could be argued that he was our best player when he had that streak of games with 50% or more shooting. But what I am saying is that As Of Right Now, he's our third best player and he's prolly gonna be an afterthought on offense.

Damn wade needs to get healthly

[Zasterror]

Wade's belief is stronger than your doubt.

'nuff said

lol..is this towards me? I don't really have any doubts just going by what I've seen. What is there to doubt? I really don't think he can look worse than he does now. Downhill from here will be a "Wade - DNP" statline. I think he'll look better once this series is done. The Bulls are just "one of those teams" for him either way.

Naw it wasn't directed at you.

that paragraph you just wrote is completely opposite of the original post you made but im glad you cleared it up. hopefully wade gets healthy but hes doing the right things on the court right now and im glad he is.
