Not making the playoffs = not making the playoffs.

I don't give a **** if you're .200 or .400.


Unless that player is trying to tank, you should care if he leads the team to a .200 or .400 record.

There is a difference between bad and embarrassingly bad. You can "ehh they collapsed in the end missed the playoffs by a game" and " I think they tanked!" :lol:

At some point the Heat will quit and go to top 3 lottery. Which team won the 'ship and after two-three years goes to top 3 lottery with the superstar player still there? Take note this Heat is on pace to be the worst Heat team in history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Heat). That is not def. a good label for a player with a supposed transcendent game like Wade.

Thanks. That's going in my signature right now.

I mean, I don't know how anyone with an OUNCE of logic would respond to that.


Man don't just quote it put in bold text and highlight it.

People saying Wade is not a superstar are wrong.

If you don't think Wade is not a top 5 player they are wrong. He is.

Chris Paul is having a great season and people are saying they would rather have Paul. Not true. If Wade wasn't that good this thread wouldn't be 24 pages long.

What I want to see from Wade is him take a game over like we know he is capable of and win a game. I want to see some "Oh did you see what Wade did!" Put up a triple double, 50 points, take every shot in the 4th quarter. I want to see him do the superstar stuff..........
I'm so tired of the typical......

He deserves no blame for losing and deserves all the credit for winning, makes total sense :nonono:

Exactly, it is a team game and it doesn't matter if Wade was the only player who showed up. They lost as a team, and he is as much to blame as any of his teammates. If his teammates weren't producing he should have stepped up his level of play and compensated for their lack of effort.

What you said just totally contradicted the guy I was quoting, thanks for proving my point.

Yeah, this should be locked.

When someone says "Manu > Wade" all credibility in this thread is shot.
