Marion questions heat desire...

[aznkillabeezZz]

I think Marion did the right thing to call out his teammates. It was getting pathetic. If you're not going to give any effort , you're affecting the value of yourself, the team, and Marion. You've got to give 100% every game at this level, or don't play at all.

Is this the begginning of the end for marion? Is he thinking opting out or is he being the leader miami needs by calling players out?

IMO, he's right. Game against lakers it was horrible to watch. Wade didn't even try, he's our best player and kobe would just blow by him. It was disgusting. I know he's rehabbing injuries but if that's the case sit down. You either play like if it was your last game every single time you step on the floor or don't step at all.

I think is unacceptable from our superstar that just 2 years ago looked to be the best player in the league. Wouldn't let kobe have it his way, and his desire to get back on defense. I still remember that block on kobe when kobe broke wade's ankles but wade didn't give up came from behind and blocked his ass. Hopefully next year he can be back.

I think he didn't get the memo that they Heat are tanking for Michael Beasley

Good grief... there isn't a post where you can't blame Wade somehow. Yet, you compliment the other bums on the roster frequently. We get it, he's not the same player this year. The constant bashing of him while rim jobbing Kobe and LeBron on the side isn't getting annoying or anything... really.

If you meant this towards me(quote next time?).....

Well I hate Kobe he is like the arch rival and I have always hated him. I couldn't stand Shaq (on the court) either until he got to Miami and I was forced to root for him. So no, I have never liked Kobe or anything close to that. Maybe you saw me write that I fell asleep when Kobe had 17 pts and Wade 0 in the last game vs. Lakers? Well I have to be honest Kobe looked like a player in a different league in that matchup as much as I hate to admit it.

Lebron, I have always stuck up for him because he is just like Wade, a model citizen and great for the NBA. I love watching him play when we aren't playing. Most heat fans or Wade fans think you have to hate Lebron for some reason, I don't get that. They are probably the same guys that argue "Xbox 360 sucks" when they own a PS3. Called being a fanboy I think.

Now as for Wade, yes when things go wrong the best player takes blame even if he doesn't deserve most of it. I post objective opinions, I don't just go around saying "Miami is #1, Wade is #1!" every post, that just makes no sense. Wade is awesome, he is the best player on any Miami team, but he deserves criticism for some of the stuff this season as much as Riley or any other heat player/coach does.

Things need to be taken in perspective. For the past few years Wades team has dominated Kobe lakers. Now take an injured Wade + a team devoid of talent and you have a lottery team. Some times you need to lose the battle to win the war. Having this team go on a never die never give up mode at this point would be moronic since were tanking for a high lottery pick.

blah blah blah - wade this wade that

riley takes the blame for collecting a bunch of players that carry this exact attitude about winning

constantly making speeches on this Heat team about caring would be like the little kid trying to put the square block in the circular hole over and over again

wade has handled the year with a lot of class - i am thankful for that
