Kind of tough when the team plays like ass.

3. Lebron
2. Bosh
1. Battier for actually making some baskets tonight

[DefenseWins]

3 LeBron
2 Udonis
1 Battier

I just realized UD had 10 rebs, while Mr. I need to average 10 rebs a game, didn't get 10 rebs.

He was the 2nd best offensively but he took some ill advised shots.

Battier finally breaking out. 3 3's tonight.

[Cakeman21]

Honestly dont think anyone deserves it but

3 Bosh..may prove to be our most consistent player
2 Battier..good to see him get in a little rhythm with the 3 pt. shot, that will be important moving forward
1 LeBron..Best statline of the night, only reason he gets a 1 from me today is I thought he should've been more aggressive in the 4th with Wade out of sync, yet he continued to defer

You know, even through the playoffs I believe Bosh was the most consistent, so Im not surprised. Wade had a bad series with the Bulls and we all know what happened with LBJ and The Mavs, but Bosh? From what I recall he was consistent throughout, not one bad series from the guy.

2.Bron
1. Battier( Gave it his all tonight )

[DefenseWins]

I remember Bosh being terrible in the first 2 games of the Finals. Then he got the hot hand but was never given the ball enough.

He played below average in the Boston series, but KG would cancel him out except for Game 3.

Then Bosh couldn't stop Elton Brand.

Bosh has had his moments, but it hasn't been worse than Wade and LBJ.

Bosh surprised me by going ham against the Bulls in the ECF, while Wade was playing terribly.

in other words, I do agree he's the most consistent. Has the least amount of bad games besides LBJ.

Yeah, but then again its easier to be consistent when you consider the level of attention LBJ/Wade draw on the floor from defenders each game, but either way he's looking good this year for the most part, a bit more aggressive, I just hope he keeps it up.

2. Lebron
1. Battier

Bosh posterized someone in the first half. I gotta see that again. Lebron was most-productive, but didn't play his best. Battier made some nice shots and played some nice defense. I would have given Cole a nod for his brief stint too, but wanted to give Shane props for a mini-breakout game. PEACE.

[Moggs24]

Honestly I don't think anyone played exceptionally well tonight.

All the more reason to trade Wade/Anthony/Pittman for Howard/Redick.

Chalmers/Cole
Redick/Miller
LeBron/Battier/Jones
Bosh/Haslem
Howard/Curry

LeBron's a better player when he isn't deferring. Howard is more valuable than Wade. The benefits from replacing Anthony with Howard far outweigh the drawbacks from replacing Wade with Redick.

That team is a lot better than the one we have now.

[DefenseWins]

I know Wade sucked ass tonight but to trade him? That's the unthinkable

and Wade is a huge disadvantage to other teams when he's on his A game.

1. Cole

Btw it's funny that D. Wade is "the closer" but come on, if it's a game winner he already got 2 so let him take the shot. But still hand it to LBJ in the 4th, yesterday Wade missed shot after shot and made TO after TO. That and bad defense cost us the 4th (of course attacking the zone D cost us also the game).

It's not like Wade is having monster 4th quarters. I remember against the Bobcats that he blew lots of plays before the two great ones he made in the end. Keep playing the same game in the 4th.

[Joao Saraiva]

Trading Wade? Wow. D. Wade gave this franchise the only championship they got. Can't be traded!

[Heat_team02]

Wade needs to become more consistent. When his shot isn't falling he needs to get others involved (who can score) & he's not doing this as much as he used to.I've been watching very closely and I see some animosity there between Wade and Cole. When Cole is having a great game & celebrating a big play, Wade's expression looks like he's bored. Then for some reason, Wade stops passing it to him. He'll give it to Haslem or the like but Cole can stand out there with hands open, wide open & nothing.

[Pimpwerx]

^Well, Cole's a good PG, runs the pnr well, and has natural scorer's instincts. I see him all the time by the 3pt line begging for the ball. If they let him run the halfcourt offense, he'd probably feast on pnr's. The Cole-Wade/Bron pnr almost always will end in a Cole fga. Seriously, you don't leave Wade or Bron to guard the smallish rookie PG. He'd just hit them with a lob. I think they prefer to get their requisite shot attempts per game, and leave the rest to chance. Cole can ball with Juwan and them. PEACE.
