Heat vs. Kings

[sunsdragic]

Dragic passes to Wade. Wade does his superstar move. Repeat repeat.. Later Dragic with forced shot with no clue or plays.. You can't play both of them together, I see no match. Wade PG?

defacto...need a guy beside wade that can shoot 3s and defend.

I read that after TJ's bad game vs Minny, he practiced til midnight and this is the result

his stroke was on point this game for the most part... man he can be a serious threat from 3 too, he has the shooting ability.

Yeah, I don't subscribe to the "let's get rid of Dragic because he is struggling" narrative, especially without having an equally talented replacement in place (and please don't say TJ) or getting one back in a trade. If Riley would react with the patience of some fans in here, Bosh and Wade would have been traded in 2010 when we were struggling before our first title.

We have to give this time and if it doesn't work, then we move on. Right now I think our best bet is for Wade to play the role of the "Big 3 Wade" (off the ball) like he did with LeBron and allow Dragic to create and attack with his younger and fresher legs. I also think that Dragic would benefit form getting his 3pt shot percentages up. It would make him a more dangerous and compatible player with Wade on the back court.

You nailed it with this comment. Wade needs to get out the way and make Dragic more comfortable much like when he finally gave up the reigns to Lebron and told him it was his team. Dragic just seems too timid when Wade is on the floor. Not sure why they dont run the Lebron top of the key sets for Dragic. Never mind i know the answer. We have no damn shooting

It's not Wade's fault that Dragic can't hit open 3s and open lay-ups. Some things you can blame on Wade but this isn't one of them. Wade shouldn't have to make Dragic "comfortable", Dragic is a big boy who is far from a role player, yet playing like one right now. Hell, TJ is outplaying him and so are other players on this team; Wade didn't "get out the way" for them.

Why should Wade be off the ball? He's our best ball handler and playmaker by far. If Dragic doesn't get it together by January he needs to be trade for a piece or 2 that can defend and shoot the 3. Moving Dragic and putting Wade at PG could be a great thing for us. That doesn't mean he has to guard PGs either.

We simply can't rely on Wade as our only creator going forward, that's why Dragic is such a necessity for us.

Wade doesn't have the health, age, longevity, to be the only facilitator full time. That's just reality.

Dragic will take a lot of the pressure off of Wade, being another player that is very good at getting to the paint, breaking down defenses and creating for himself and others.

The urge to send Dragic out is unbelievably short-sighted, hysterical, and pointless.

Dragic is a good player, we saw it last year and we're seeing flashes of him bouncing back lately, if you watch the actual games.

Chill.

It's like people forget how utterly disastrous it was last season to have Wade as the only capable ballhandling playmaker.

As I've repeated ad nauseum, the key is to stagger Wade and Dragic's minutes so that one is on the floor at all times
