I gotta disagree.

Because of his style and body type, Wade is nearly always banged up.

Down the road, something has got to give......


He can adjust. Later in his career, MJ was still deadly, but he changed his game. I think Wade could do the same thing.

TMac meets Penny. An injury prone quitter.

Wade will be fine. He just has a touch of beasleyitis for the good of the team. Guy's had this problem from the beginning of the season and averages just short of 25 ppg. I think thinking he is injury prone is just a touch of wishful thinking especially if they do get the number one pick.

You have to look at that team and the way they are currently built. Not having Alonzo is killing that team this season. I think after the Shaq trade if Zo was still playing or them they would have been just as big of a threat with Marion/Wade/Zo.

You take away that killer instinct Zo has and you take the heart out of that team. Mark Blount is their starting center I believe....enough said.

You can say that last part again.

In the case of D-Wade, it was time he got the call to shut it down since the Heat aren't going anywhere this season. Too many injuries Wade tried to play though and he didn't fully recovered from the last one he got from last season. Wade needs to use this time to dedicate to healing his injuries in order to be ready for the next season.

Yeah, I think the whole franchise has beasleyitis, from the president on down. I actually don't blame Wade. They brought him back way too early this season anyway to try to salvage their playoff chances. But for the rest of the franchise, once Riley saw they had no playoff chances, he dived to the bottom of the pool. They don't deserve the No. 1 pick because of their case of beasleyitis. It couldn't be more blatant, and the NBA started the lottery system to avoid rewarding that.
