seems like everytime i see j-will shooting a 3, he always bricks it. Does this guy ever practice shooting the 3? ****

Common dude are you kidding me?

If Wade took a jumper there with 2 guys right in his face than he'd be criticized, it makes perfect sense to dish it to an open player.

yeah damn him for making a correct play. If he takes the shot & misses you'd be the first one on here saying he should have passed to the open man in the corner.

Its been all season. He has missed the shots or made bad plays at the end of games. How many has he won this year? All throughout his career Wade made a ton of game winners, but this year he has struggled at the end with a chance to win, thats all i'm saying.

And yes, I know its not right, but when a star player passes it off at the end and the guy misses, they blame the star. Isn't that why Lebron kept getting criticized earlier in his career? I remember all of you on here talking about him passing instead of driving it a ton of times.

Its just how it goes, when you don't make the game winners you get criticized. Wade will get back to hitting the winners, might do it tonight, but he just has failed at it all season up to now.

The Heat are not allowed to win games, sorry.

is wade allergic to overtime or something ? he refuses to take a fg attempt this happened vs orlando too

I don't remember "all of us" ever criticizing Lebron for passing to an open teammate when he was doubled at the end of a game.

And we've been in a ton of close games this year, thats exactly my point. Wade's made like 1/10 game winners or something.

Look in the clutch stats from 82game - http://82games.com/CSORT11.HTM

Wade is ranked 16th and his FG percentages is horrible in crunch time this year.

He just missed a layup and a 3........... game over.

Same old finish. Should be used to it by now and not expect anything different...

We would've won that game if banks was in for j-will.

**** Riley, damn tanker.

I care, I like to win, I know it doesn't mean much the rest of this season, but you play to win.

Also, bad habits are no good. Why would you want Wade to struggle in crunch time when he has been known for being king of clutch since he entered the NBA?

He is hurt so that is part of it, he is still playing at a very high level most games, just he has lost some of his assassins mentality at the end of games.

I hate losing thats all there is to it.

I think some here care more about how LeBron is victimized by another teams fans. Or his perceived notion that LeBron is victimized, cut that crap while the Heat play go to the general or Cavs.

Anyways the Heat just find ways to lose, is just like a curse.

Post #80 » by **BFRESH44** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 3:22 am

Just a heartbreaker..And I know after 43 losses that's beyond cliche, but still just wow...

JWill needs to be waived at this point. It's pratically like playing 4 on 5 with him out there...

Wade jump pass across the court was a bonehead play. I hate it when he does that.

This team needs to learn how to value possessions. Going a 100 miles on hour and coming up blank down the stretch does not get it done...
