Whats up with dwayne wade?

[Vertical Limit]

After years (since 2006-2007) of people calling for Wade's decline on RealGM, they finally got what they've been waiting for.

Yeah, it's here, his decline has arrived and hitting him HARD. It sucks, he's old now. I just hope he can develop his post and mid range game more for he can become a better threat. It's upsetting seeing him like this, he just isn't the explosive player he once was. Defenders can stay in front of him now, before they had only one choice and that was to foul him.

Worst part is, his body language, he no longer has that fearless, killer instinct I've seen from him since a rookie. No hunger. And I know everyone hates Spoelstra here, but what Wade did to Spo was absolutely disrespectful, Spoelstra was 100% right on calling him out, and the Wade I once knew would not have done that.

Just not the same player anymore. Sigh.

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

It just feels like these guys didn't take this team seriously. Wade and company are coasting. The FT issues means not enough practicing. Maybe they are out partying still since July 8 2010.

Wade's having a bad series. He did against the Bulls last year too, but it didn't matter because Bosh stepped-up. Tonight, he was terrible.

I watched the whole game. We got beat in every facet of the game. Indy didn't miss their shots at one point, and we had no answer. Bron getting outscored by Rio is fine. He was due for a clunker, and it wasn't even that much of clunker. Wade, OTOH, stunk up the show. His 3rd game shooting like ****. It's hard to explain, but it is what it is.

I'm Mr. Heat, and Mr. Positivity, but the reality is setting in that this might end up in heartbreak. I'm bracing myself, but it's on the horizon. I always said Bosh was most-important. I always bitched people out who scremed "trade Bosh" because I knew we would be unable to replace him. This is the result. Dwight Howard wouldn't help our cause. We need a stretch 4.

I'm worried, guys. I'm seriously worried. Wade isn't there for us. This is probably the first time in his career that he hasn't been able to step-up and carry the franchise. I'm really worried. PEACE.

man I enjoy your posts even though when you were supporting Spo at one point that's when I disagreed with you a lot but you know sh*t is happening when the most positive guy is worried, like someone else said. Right now I'm bracing myself for heartbreak too. This is like the Bulls series. Only, Bosh isn't there to pick it up for us. Wade seems to have trouble against long, rebounding athletic teams or something. Teams that pack the paint and have long arms. But I really thought we had Game 3... then LeBron didn't even show up in the 2nd half. It was bad enough Wade wasn't even there. Wasted Mario's effort too.

Battier man... even Joel outplays him at this point LOL. UD doesn't even play in the 2nd half because he's so bad. You really see the light of this supporting cast without the Big 3 showing up and how TERRIBLE they are (except Rio, he tries but is a bonehead, but tries and has heart).

If we lose, BLOW IT UP!! Keep Bosh, Wade and LeBron but damn man, we need young blood. Pacers are young, lots of bodies, young, and look at them, they are clowning on us. One thing is to have vets, but when they aren't useful, it sucks.

Btw as much as I hate SPo as well, you don't yell at him in the face like that, no matter how angry you are. It's like yelling at a teacher or something lol.

[HIF]

Well that first page was full of a lot of posters I've never seen before.

Looks like the haters have already arrived to heckle the greatest player the Heat have ever had.

So what he's had a couple of bad games and is pissed off with himself.

DWade is a superGod and you just wish you had him.

DWade Finals MVP 2006.

[HEATVols865]

Seriously, we cannot pay a guy that decidedly did NOT try last night.
Period.

Yes he gave us our only championship and he got Bron and Bosh to come down but COME ON!
The guy has been horrible against the Pacers all series long and not that great in the playoffs.
This is LeBron's team...no doubt.

And to make matters worse, he decides to get pissed at Spo when he called out Wade's crap?
http://content.usatoday.com/communities ... 7Y1zyoR5sA

"In Dwyane Wade's words, he "made history" Thursday night.
History for being horrible."

I don't like Spo, I want the guy gone, but he called out his best player for not giving any effort and then Wade got his panties in a wad.

Amnesty Wade's @ss and bring Deron Williams down to Miami and a half decent Center:
Hawes
Bosh
LeBron
Battier
Williams

That's one heck of a team!

LOL - that actually made me laugh, even though I'm in a severe depression.

I don't see why this is surprising to everyone? This is what WE as fans wanted from Wade. Everybody was so intent on ensuring that LeBron was and felt like the clear-cut "Batman", we now have a Wade who really can't be himself in a system that was already extremely limiting for him (in comparison to previous years). We went very quickly from being a team that embraced the idea of having two dominant players be the first option with no real alpha dog, to a "team" that demanded one of the best players in the world submit himself to the will of the other. And all for no good reason I can think of other than the media had said from the beginning we'd need to so we decided to cave in early.

The idea of a physical decline is a joke to me. Wade does not jump as high as he used to, but neither does LeBron. What's bothering Wade is probably the idea that he's on a team where nobody believes in him anymore. It's not coincidence that after having incredible months in January and February he started to fall off around the same time he went on this media blitz telling everybody how much better LeBron is than him (which I think was probably manufactured by higher-ups in our organization and not by himself).

For all the stroking of LeBron's ego we've done, we've completely forgotten about Wade and his own.

Frustration or not, watching this, and his antics lately -- it really disappoints me. I miss the old Wade. One of his biggest fans but all I see these days are ish like this. Why D-Wade?

Wade is just a diva and this has been his MO for a while, dude is just a big baby. Crying to the refs, always looking for a foul instead of making the basket etc.

Wade been in Miami his entire career. Wade wanted Bosh and Lebron. Wade wanted to keep Haslem, Wade wanted to keep Spo.

Wade created all of this and he hasn't stepped up to plate this season one bit. He let Lebron do all the work and as soon as Chris Bosh goes down, it all goes to the crapper.

Last season at least Wade had some pride about himself and didn't let this team lose like that.

He needs to stop acting like a baby, nobody should have to stroke your ego. If you wanna show people that you are still the man, stop acting like a bitch and play basketball.

Wade was a bitch yesterday, he really just threw a tantrum on the court.

So basically its ok to say Wade is pathetic since hes not the man anymore, i refuse to believe that. Your basically saying Wade is so mentally weak that he cant handle not being the man.

No he needs to man up and adapt. Lock your ass in the gym and get back your automatic jumper, become a real 3pt shooter. Learn to play defense the entire game etc.

If Wade actually gave a damn about defense and locking his man up and rebounding the Heat would be a better team.

This is patently absurd and sounds like the king of all excuses. Wade is playing bad because "nobody believes in him anymore" That is the most absolute mentally soft angle I have ever heard. And if that were the case, then Wade should take him and that fragile female thought process, to a loser team where it would fit in.

Wade gets PLENTY of his traditional top of the key ISO's that he excelled at from 2003-2009. He has a 6'9 guy guarding him who is giving him 3-4 feet of space, daring him to shoot. When the high screen & roll comes, Wade doesn't turn the corner like he used to. He's either declining or injured. I don't know which and I won't speculate.

Well, I don't think anybody is questioning what Wade has accomplished. People are just really looking at it and say: a guy that great just made 5 points in a game. You can understand people felt let down by Wade, can't you?
