Miami/LA -- 10:30 Tonight

Dwyane Wade is a much better leader than Kobe Bryant thats why the Heat are having such a great season[/code]

Please go away come back once he can lead a team out of the 1st round he doesn't even need to do all Wade has and lead them to a title just one series win and you can talk.

[semi-sentient]

Are the Heat planning on keeping Marion? I think you guys should. You've already got 2 All-Stars with him and Wade, and you'll get a very high draft pick where you can go after OJ (I'm assuming PG is your top priority). That leaves you with a need at center, and a guy like Kwame Brown (don't laugh) can help you guys defensively at a very cheap price... cheap enough to leave you with your full MLE, as I'm thinking you'll have a little bit of cap space with J-Useless and R-Dunce coming off the books.

With Kwame and Haslem down low, you'd have a solid defensive front-court, while Marion and Wade defend the perimeter. Your only real weakness offensively would be with Kwame... but that didn't really stop the Lakers from being a high scoring team, so it shouldn't stop Miami. You guys did damn good by getting rid of Shaq.

Anyway, good game, and good luck next season.

Lol ok?!? Let's all compare an injured Wade to Kobe and ignore facts if it makes Reggie right. GTFOH I can make a list of all the dumb things players from the "top level" have said but yeah he can shoot way better than I can.

Just look at kobe right now playing with an injured finger. 99% of the NBA players would take the surgery for the dislocated finger asap but Bryant adjusted to it. Kobe is a competitor he would never let his team be this low in the NBA. We had plaeyrs like Smush Parker Cook and Kwame Brown starting last year because of injuries to Luke and Odom. Kobe carried that team while they were injured in the WESTERN CONFERENCE. These starters don't even see a lot of playing time and they are playing on lottery teams. Everyone knows Wade and Miami Heat have given up, they just cannot bench wade because of all the season ticket holders.

Man, D-Wade got banned for less trolling.

LOL again EAST vs WEST there is a difference. I also liked the refs and their officiating in the finals vs Dallas.

Nobody cares Kobe didn't win when he went up against the same Detroit team Wade was dominating. And playing with the same guys Wade got to the 2nd round with Kobe couldn't make the playoffs. I really don't care what any Laker fan thinks I'm happy with my guy that led my team to the title and you can be happy with Kobe leading you to 1st round exits.

leading a team to a 1st round exit >>>>> leading a team to a championship

DUH.

[Miami's Finest]

LOL... some of these people are annoying thou they stay on the Miami board the whole game and insist we like Kobe better than Wade.

[second_coming32]

Yeah, you're right, pointless argument. Kobe is greater than Wade if you live in the other 28 NBA cities....Wade>Kobe if you live in Miami...I get it.

Just like Darko has huge upside if you live in Memphis, and Banks is really gonna be a solid PG if you live in Miami. Cheers.

All miller was saying is give Kobe the same circumstances as Wade this year and he won't curl up like a little b**** the way Wade is this year. No harm, no foul.

Same circumstances? Can we try to rip his arm out of his socket to produce the same type of injury Wade had? Give him some knee surgery to boot.

[Intensity]

To be fair. I don't think a Kobe lead team would get 10 wins so far and have the worst record playing in the east. I mean there's a reason why Coach K went after Kobe first in the olympics, and why a healthy kobe would start over a healthy wade. Wade's a good player, but everyone plays with injuries, including Kobe. This season is inexcusable in my opinion.

[second_coming32]

He's had knee surgeries, a couple of them as a matter of fact. And he's playing MVP basketball with 4 fingers on his shooting hand. The year he put up 35.1 per game his shoulder was nearlyl ripped off....but he played through it, and went on a tear of 9 consecutive 40+ point games and an 81 point game....to boot.

i didnt think Kobe would blow a 3-1 lead..i never though a player of Kobes caliber wouldnt be able to get out of the 1st round..I never though a Kobe led team would lose 19 of 20 games.

Its easy to just say these things.

[second_coming32]

Take Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Luke Walton, and Lamar Odom as your supporting cast, pair them up with Dwane Wade and see how far Wade gets against the suns. Anything anybody does in the East doesn't count, unless they get to the finals. Period.

45-37 in the west translates to 55-27 in the east....42-40 in the west translates to 52-29 in the east. Wade is a good player, but to put him the same category as Kobe and Lebron is just (Please Use More Appropriate Word)....especially after this abortion of a season.

Shaq, Haslem, Davis, Williams, and you can't get more than 7 wins in the East? Cmon Wade, you're better than that. I was at the game tonight and to watch Wade just quit like that....you can't be called one of the games best if your going to play like that...sorry, just can't happen...ever.

At the very least, when the Lakers were bad he was still dropping 40 and 50 point games left and right. We were still competing with the best teams out west with Kwame Brown and Smush Paker in the starting lineup. We rarely ever got blown out, Kobe always kept it close. Give him a couple of guys who can play and look what happens. He doesn't make players better? Than what do you call the emergence of Farmar, Turiaf, Fisher (having a career year), Bynum, Vujacic. All of them have played with Kobe for the last 3 years (exception...fisher), and all of them have improved every season. When Wade builds this Miami team into a championship contender, then we can start making arguments. But until then.....I like Wade, he's a great player, but he's lost some respect this season...you have to admit.

[CB4MiamiHeat]

But Wade made made it to the 2nd round with Caron/Odom and Kobe was in the lottery with Caron/Odom!!

lol its easy to selectively choose situations..

Keep arguing with yourself I'll answer you once Kobe has a single playoff series victory without Shaq... and maybe even one day he will lead his team to a title like Wade has then you might have some real points to make.

ok you know what this is your board....but this comment........how many championships does kobe have. he has 3 with shaq....back to back to back. wade has one. with alonzo morning and shaq. please dont act like wade did it on his own. when he does it back to back to back.....lets talk. you know and i know if you had a legit superstar he should not be losing all this games. i was at the game today and wade gave up. he was not in the building. all of you fans know it so dont put down kobe for playing hard no matter what. he has his ribs wrapped, finger bandaged and he has a problem with his foot. so please dont talk.

i always thought kobe, lebron and wade were the best stars. but im sorry after watching wade this season he is not a superstar. he is an all star but not a superstar. a superstar has pride in their game and would never allow his team to give up. A leader would pull the troops together no matter how tough the times were. did you see kobe last year with smush parker and kwame brown. it was horrible but he pushed forward to make it to the playoffs. Dwayne wade has given up.....and thererfore he is not a superstar.

I mean really, kobes arm wasn't nearly ripped off. Your being a bit dramatic. Yeah, he is playing with an injured finger....HIS PINKY! OMzGS

[second_coming32]

But Wade made made it to the 2nd round with Caron/Odom and Kobe was in the lottery with Caron/Odom!!

lol its easy to selectively choose situations..

IN THE EAST!!! LETS BY THEM ALL CIGARS RIGHT NOW!!!

If Kwame Brown doesn't fall apart in the playoffs against the suns, and the Lakers finish off Phoenix, they get the Clippers in the 2nd round, who they owned that season. Where does that put them? In the Western Conference Finals, against the Spurs, who they won the season series 3-1.

I don't care if Wades team got the Conference Finals, the fact that you play in the east makes it a moot point. Call Lebron and tell him about your great 2nd round appearance and see what he thinks about it.

[clutchkobe]

But Wade made made it to the 2nd round with Caron/Odom and Kobe was in the lottery with Caron/Odom!!

IN THE EAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DWAYNE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT IN THE WEST. LEBRON CAN GO TO THE FINALS IN THE EAST.....NOT IN THE WEST.

[second_coming32]

No, no, no, it's ok....you guys are right. Dwayne Wade is the best.

Enjoy Dwayne Wade for the rest of the season....

No Really....

We wish you all the best.
