Comparing Wade to Monta at this point might be an insult to Monta.

Wade walked then gave an atrocious pass.

LeBron missed the shot at the end of the half.... what a choker.

So Lebron has been incredible, everyone else on the team has played some varying degree of terrible, Wade has been the worst player on the court, and they are up 13.

So it's Cleveland Lebron versus the Celtics, and Lebron is winning.

I never thought I'd say this... but Wade has legit been the worst Heat starter in the first half. :o

Lebron had a historic first half, but like we all know they're only up 13.

It'll be interesting to see how he performs in the 4th quarter.

LeBron is focussed out of his brain. Guaranteed he smashes the 4th quarter this game.

54 points, 12 rebounds, bugger passing it.
Luckily, for the revenue department of the government, speed doesn't kill.

I think Wade steps up and gets on a roll in the second half. They need him to get going if they want to win, Lebron probably won't be able to keep this up.

Its looks like an angrier Lebron than that. I like it.

You're so biased and in love with Lebron, it's insane.

1. I never said anything about "being right" about Lebron or ANYTHING like that. I said it'll be interesting to see how he plays in the fourth quarter. Let your Lebron guard down for one second.

2. Magic's comment has very little to do with what I said. The rest of the Heat will have to step up for the Heat to win. But their best player and the league MVP also has to play well too in order for them to win.

There's little doubt Wade does what he's done the rest of the series and eeks out 20+ points on 40% shooting or so with a slightly better second half effort, so those saying he's playing well will be able to keep up that insane charade I guess.

I don't want to rip posters too much but I can't honestly believe anyone who has watched this series could describe Wade as being anything better than terrible - and that's probably being generous. As I said, replace him with Daniel Gibson in that first half and Miami are up 20+ right now.

Yeah me too. I'm the furthest thing from a Lebron fanboy but I have to say I've enjoyed watching the best player in the world play at an unbelievable level even for him in the first half. I've also loved the attitude he's had, manic focus.

I'm not going to reread the 20 page debate, but has anyone honestly said Wade is playing well? Or is that something you're just saying to try to make your point stronger?

I remember saying Wade is a top 5 player in general. I don't think anyone would (should) say he's having a good series.

If his supporting cast hadn't been awful this game is put away right now because the league MVP has been unbelievable.

Europa and LUKE23 both believe Wade hasn't been that bad.

Not trying to sound offensive, but if you don't want to sound completely ignorant in an argument maybe you should read the debate.

Saying you're not going to read the debate while suggesting I'm making stuff up from the argument is kind of an oxymoron.
