Wade-All Star Weekend

[nycballer718]

I think you all are a bunch of exceptional tards...

after watching that Raps game its clear the Heat are blatantly tanking this crap-wad of a season...this is how it is, and the Heat will be back next year with a key addition from the draft...

as a result of the tanking, its pretty clear Wade's play is coming across as lethargic and apathetic, meaning he doesnt care and he is not trying...

I dont see this guy falling off the map so severely, nd he will rebound as well as the Heat next year!

mark these words!

notice how when the heat lsoing streak was getting to embarssing like to 10 heat started playing hard to try to break it and played in a lot of close games vs spurs and blazers and cavs ....then once they finally ended the embarssment they go back to their not trying and first game from the win they get beta by 25 + vs boston w/o kg and ray allen

1. You are right, I have "put the kid down" as you put it on a few occassions. My reasoning was this, if you are going to play, then have no excuses, hurt or not. If you are playing hurt and still losing, shut it down until you can help the team.

2. I am referring to not playing in an unnessary all-star weekend not games that actually mean anything.

What's your issue with Wade representing his conference in the All Star Game, seriously?

He was VOTED in by the FANS, and he's playing FOR THE FANS!

I don't get the gripe you have with him here. It's not as if he's missing regular season games and choosing to play in the ASG.

Jeez!

Then why participate in a meaningless all-star weekend instead of getting those 3-4 extra days of rest?

their not from the minor shin injuries where u rest 3-4 days and get ur hops abck ..it's from recovering from offseason surgery ....3-4 days rest wont do anything ...and u talk about meaningless allstar weekend well what about the the right now meaningless and irrelevelant heat seaosn cause their out of playoff contention and if he can play during this worthless heat games then why not allstar weekend that can cheer him up from this disastarous seaosn because he's still putting up the numbers

Jeez!

He can still represent his conference by showing up and acknowledging his presence on the team and still not play.

Wade is still injured?

What's bothering you that much with his status at the AS festivities?

I do not have a problem with DWade joining the festivities at all... this coming from a Lakers fan where we are supposed to hate him.

If he was not playing in the reg. season but played during the A.S. weekend then there is a problem. All the OP is saying is most people are saying DWades team, the Heat, are not doing well due to his injury... if that is the case, why did not take the weekend off. That is what I think he is saying.

It is not Wades fault they suck, he is still 6th in the league in scoring -- which is amazing considering he is coming off a major surgery. He is still averaging 6.6 assists and almost 5 boards, so he still is almost part of that 20-5-5 club, again, coming off a major surgery.

Heat losing, I think, deals mostly with the fat man taking up most of their salary cap, and unfortunately -- Heat are going to be like this for another couple of years due to this same fat man.

I thought I made it clear enough but let me make it alittle clearer for the one with blurry vision.

My problem is this, Wade is hurting. The Heat suck and obviously need a healthier Wade. Why play in the SKILLS CHALLENGE and ALL-STAR GAME instead of taking those extra 3-4 days off and letting you body heal some to try to help your team win some games. Clear enough now?

Exactly. Nothing more, nothing less. Quit getting all offended Heat fans.

Why? Since when is it anyone's rightful duty to hate/dislike/put down great players for playing, great?

I as a Heat fan still respect and admire Kobe for his game/play on the court. -- And, I'm sure you'll find plenty of fans alike who say the same....

If Riley had fulfilled his duties as the President/GM of this team, we wouldn't be in this situation as dire as we are at the moment. He has mentioned more than once on occasion that he has failed to supply Wade/Shaq with the correct pieces, and we are seeing that at the moment.

With the way the season has ultimately played out, an extra win here or there, will be of no value to this team as a whole, though mentally it will on the young players.

But, even then, teams find a way to rest their star players as the season winds down anyway. So, those games are rendered useless towards the end of the season anyhow.

I still don't get the gripe/dislike, but w/ever!

This might the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

He's PLAYING hurt, the key word there being "playing." Why would he sit out of the All-Star Game in which the fans voted him in if he's not sitting out the rest of the games?

[babajafar]

Flash3, I think you misunderstood me man.
We are supposed to hate him due to Shaq going there and then DWade being Shaqs new sidekick etc. I, for one, respect DWade, respect him playing hrough injury and also love the fact that he has come back from a major injury and doing what he is doing. I do not hate DWade at all.... I do dislike Shaq though, because he is basically stealing money from the Heat.

I did not mean to hate on DWade at all, as a matter of fact, my previous post was all positive about DWade.

Respect.

[BeanTownRockets]

Injured or Not. With his team record of 9-37 in the weak-azz of a conference. He shouldn't be an All-Star.

I wasn't particularly referring to you, but in general.

To hate on a player for no apparent reason, is just plain silly. -- Those who find mind-numbing (Please Use More Appropriate Word) reason to put down certain players, only to prop up their favorite player(s), are just silly beyond beleif.

Again, I am not referring to you specifically, but just in general to the "we are SUPPOSED to hate X and Y"

Thats not his fault though, he was voted in by the fans.... he cant say well no, my team sucks so am not gonna play... come on man, he got voted in, no choice.

His individual stats say otherwise. He's one the BEST scorers in the league, and he was VOTED in by the fans.

The ASG isn't how well your team faired or not, but how you as an individual faired, right or wrong; that's just how it is....

It is not a dislike and if you don't get it by now you never will.

If only basketball fans hated him more. Than he wouldn't be in the ASG.

How ironic. Reading comprehension, anyone?
