Can Wade remain consistently healthy ever again?

[fast-break]

WTF...so sensitive. I don't think Wade will be deferring to Bosh anytime soon, he's simply not willing...so calm down fan boy. Lets not wet our pants over excitement...lol.

Meanwhile, back in reality, Wade has averaged 1 more shot than Bosh in the playoffs so far (down from 3 more than Bosh in the regular season), and has actually had less shots than Chris in the Bulls series.

Well...I guess it's a good thing that I was speaking in terms of the future, I.e. next regular season. anyone watching the playoffs can see that Wade is not taking his usual amount of FGA...BUT I guess when you let your emotions get the best of you, things like context are ignored...lol. Calm down tiger, Bosh won't be the "#2 guy" anytime soon I don't think. Not sure why you are so offended by the suggestion though.

I feel like Wade is going to be 34 still unwilling to defer to Bosh...lol.

Yeah because he's been chucking and dominating the ball in the games he's struggled. Sample sizes, during the regular season, Wade was clearly the better player, so there was no need for him to defer.

Well, there is a need if he's going to break down every year. As they say, sometimes less is more.

What are you even talking about? You were claiming Wade has shown an unwillingness to sacrifice for the betterment of the team, which is nonsense because that's all he's done since the Big Three came together (and even prior to that when Shaq came to town). Now you're exaggerating, claiming he's breaking down every year when he looked pretty good during the regular season and just happened to suffer several bone bruises towards the end of the year, which is an injury that can happy to anybody and is not a result of your body breaking down. Of course, constantly banging your knee the way Wade has isn't gonna help, but it's just an unfortunate situation.

You're claiming Tim_Hardawayy is overreacting when in reality, you're the one overreacting. Wade is still a better player than Bosh, he's just having a tough time with an injury that couldn't have come at a worse point of the season. It's f***ed up, but at the same time, one shouldn't jump to conclusions going forward when Wade looked pretty good up until this incident against Orlando.

Also, what other reactions are you gonna expect from Heat fans with posts like yours? I'm pretty sure up until LeBron winning his title, it was bothering you when people were calling him a failure, a choker and what not because you knew those statements took sample sizes and blew them out of proportion, showing ignorance at its finest.

Well...again, I was talking about the future, next season perhaps...I highly doubt Wade is willing to take on a reduced role for Bosh. It reeks of sensitive fanboy to become offended by the suggestion though. Come on, it's not like Bosh is some Grade A scrub.

Nobody is offended at the notion that Bosh could be a better option than Wade, I think most Heat fans agree that will happen over time, it could very well be next season and its kind of happening atm in the playoffs.

The thing people are disputing is your silly idea that Wade is so much of an ego maniac, he wouldn't be able to allow that to happen.

[Ratchet_Rio]

I've got no horse in the race but I think a few of you overreacted to that guys comment. I just glossed over it but I can tell it was a just a good natured/joking comment that wade wouldn't be able to defer to bosh

[ReturnofMVP3]

Give him Tim Duncan type minutes during the regular season 25-30 and then 35+ in post seasons. Though lets not rush to doing anything harsh. If he comes back healthy next year a good 33-35 would be cool too.

[Mundo]

Please, These last 2 seasons have been hell for everyone in the league. The fact that Wade has been able to stay on the floor has been great. With the added rest after this season, he can definitely regain his health.

Do you guys think Lebron will stay if Wade continues to get hurt?

Nailed it.

EDIT: And fast-break, stop the fanboy bulls***. I was pointing out that Wade was the better player over the course of the season and thus, there was no need for him to defer. You're taking a small sample size where he's playing injured as evidence that Wade needs to defer to Bosh when one has to wait and see what the offseason brings first.

Guys we're fellow Heat fans here and cant we just get along? lol. A certain someone here has a tendency to attack posters on a personal level, saying they're not a heat fan or a lebron fan only, but that needs to stop. We're heat fans and we need to stick by each other and enjoy this moment.

[Smash3]

As frustrating as it is to see him hurt again, dude is going to War and he is willing to defer to whoever as long as we win. As far as if he can stay healthy next season? Depends on what kind of work gets done on his knees, at best he´ll find ways of being effective.

[GreenHat]

Over a season, maybe.

Over his career he will get hurt here and there, hopefully nothing major. Some guys are just more injury prone than others.

[FTCDave]

Being a huge D Wade fan it's hard to watch him struggle with injuries so much. Now that he's 31 I doubt we will see a completely healthy Wade again but I believe he can still be a 22/5/5 type of player for a while as long as he stays reasonably healthy.

Lebron signing that extension depends on Wades health!!!!

This is an aspect about Wade's health that nobody seems to want to address. I only brought it up because in my opinion Wade's health moving forward is going to be a huge factor in terms of LeBron staying or not.

[Tjjrex]

I agree 100%, I don't see lbj locking into another 5 year contract if wade doesnt take more of a paycut due to his health.
