Whats up with dwayne wade in game3?

He couldnt get anything going, then was arguing with coach.

Is he injured? Whats with the attitude?

Apparently he's sick but even if he was sick he played unbelievably bad. No excuse for even having Joel out play him LOL.

Mario played phenomenal man. Wade is saying they need Mario and look at him, he doesn't even show up when Mario plays a career game.

Now the next game it's going to be the opposite... sigh.

If we don't win game 4, it's over.

He's chanelling his inner Raptor and is in full 10 year lottery mode and now f*** off.

To me the new attitude, annoying as it's been, is not the real issue with Wade. the real issue is his skiil-set.

In his best years he had a decent mid range jumper that really helped him get some easy buckets and vary his attack. one would think as a player get older his skillset will grow and improve, but for some reason the exact opposite happend with Wade.

SHOOTING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE FOR A SG, and his jumper just died. it's very disapointing and hurts the team in huge ways. our offense could be in an all other level if Wade a good outside shot.

Wade's shooting is the biggest elephant in the room nobody is talking about.

When u look at all time greats, (MJ being the prime example) u see them devolping their game over the years, turning weaknesses into strengths. MJ had a worst jumper than Wade in his early years, but he kept working on it and it paid off in huge ways and made him the legand he became. Wade went the other direction, his shot somehow GOT WORSE, and as he's geting older this fact will despertly hurt his overall game. defenders can just lay off him and pack the paint and his moves are too predictable (get to the rim EVERY TIME). it makes life so much harder for him and for the team build around him.

I dont think it's too late. actually i expected him to come back this year with his good mid-range shot, but sadly that didnt happen at all. i still cant understand how is that possible. HE"S GOT TO WORK ON SHHOTING IN THE MOST DEVOTED AND SERIOUS WAY POSSIBLE, it's that important for him and for the Heat going forward.

What happened between wade and coach spo?

Is it wades shooting thats the issue,
Or do you guys think coach spo needs to counter indianas defense with some new offensive sets?

chewing out the coach like that in public is inexcusable from a supposed captain. Regardless of the outcome of an individual game, He's still the coach and players need to be doing their best to work with him not publicly humiliate him and undercut confidence in the team overcoming adversity

He's turned into a diva is what's happening. I miss the humble Dwyane Wade of 2004-2007.

Wade has lost his desire to over come. I remember when he used to fall down 7 times to stand up 8. He now falls once and complains to the officials.

Also...has every player decline under Spo? I mean..Who has really improved in the last 3 years? Everyone signs with Miami and declines. Everyone leaves and improves.

i love wut wade did to spo there. hes the only guy on HEAT roster who has balls to call Spo out for his dumbass coaching ablities.

Holy **** Heat fans, can we try not entertain the trolls who come to our own forum? Jeez man.

To the OP, take this non-sense to the general board where it belongs.

A raptor fan tryin' to troll, that's a laugh.

Don't know the OP's intent, but his post is entirely legitimate.

Not trolling. Just a basketball fan watching the playoffs.
Just looks like indiana made nice adjustments to defend against wade,
Which i think is easier for thme to do with bosh out.

Now just wondering whether you guys think coach spo needs to make an adjustment
Or is it more really on wade.

Trolling or not the OP's questions are legit.

Wade just isn't the same as he was in '06 guys. I think it's time to embrace reality.

He just forgot how to play basketball this game... Pretty simple as that

Bet you didn't feel like this last year when people were trollin' Lebron after the finals with 'legit' questions about his performance. Why are we willin' to protect Lebron(which I agree with) but not willing to offer the same defense to Wade? I don't get it.

Amen....been complaining about his shooting and everyone on the board attacks me
glad to see someone see's it the same way
dude is 30 with knee injuries
This is the start of his physical decline
You seen it the last two years when he takes off on D or just plays lazy, probably to conserve energy
He is still trying to use his physical gifts, but needs his basic fundamentals
The Jumper, midrange is a must for him this off season

Amen brother! Amen

The entire team simply imploded tonight.

It started with Spo inserting Pittman into the line-up. A guy who I believe has not played a SINGLE minute of post-season basketball in his entire career.

Wade deserves flack as well. His performance tonight and in this series has been completely unacceptable. Anyone that's followed him knows those shots he took early in the 3rd quarter (Just prior to the Spo confrontation) were not shots he normally takes.

I'm sure some frustration has to come from guys like UD, Battier, and Miller being totally worthless.

Edit:
I'm a Heat fan first and foremost. I don't start worshiping Heat players until they retire.

He's been in decline for a while now. I think the Heat should trade him while he has some value.

Don't even try me bro I was just as hard on LeBron as the last guy last year. I don't give a **** about how LeBron did tonight GETTING UP IN YOUR COACH'S FACE DURING THE MIDDLE OF A GAME IN THE PLAYOFFS IS 100% INEXCUSABLE FOR THE LEADER OF THIS TEAM.

If you don't think he deserves criticism then you're just as bad as the LeBron homers.

Sure you was. And Wade is the leader of this team now? Seriously? I thought everyone and their ******* mothers crowned Lebron the leader of this team. You know, the ******* MVP of the league. Wade himself even said it. The media has been going on and on about since the playoffs started. Oh wait, that's only when this team is winning. When we're in the ******* hole, suddenly its Wade's team again. Bull.

Whatever man, I see some of you enjoying this. Don't let me get in the way of your fun. **** it.
