@EthanJSkolnick: Spoelstra: "Point guard play, we'll stick with those guys. And clearly they're important to us."
Wow. He really said that.

When Wade gets lazy on defense, and he was lazy on d all game, Miami usually gets lit up. Can't coast on that end. He has this series.

We shouldn't be shocked. Bibby was starting all the way through game 5 in 2011 and Mario has played just as bad. Cole has been smush Parker status since the all star break (shooting slashes of .350/250/640 with as many turnovers as assists), yet he also gets 20+ minutes a night. We need new point guards.

For all this chalmers talk...I mean...what else is Spo supposed to do? You can't play Cole for 48 minutes...parker is also the only person on the floor cole is remotely big enough to guard...and when parker heats up they put Bron on him...you really want cole switched up onto manu, or leonard, or duncan on a pick and roll 
I guess all them years at yelling and clowning super mario finally got to him

The Spurs went with no PG for stretches. We also have done it many times.
Leaving him out there to be ignored by the Spurs defense, missing open shots, committing dumb fouls and playing subpar defense for the entire third quarter is dumb coaching. That's on Spo.

Spurs offense is structured totally different than Miami's....we literally have 3 point guards who played big minutes at some point in the season...we have 5 guys who can run "point guard"...miami has 3 including lebron...
I agree you prob need to shorten his minutes...but you just completely drop him from the rotation and you are going to do way more harm than good...you start giving cole major minutes and San Antonio is going to kill that dude when Miami does all that switching on the pick and roll...
He's right, effort on D was terrible. No way the Spurs should be able to blow by the Heat on the perimeter and get to the lane like they did.

Who started off the first quarter with turnovers, didn't play any defense, and threw away opportunities for easy deuce for three-point plays ? It sure wasn't Lebron. Wadette pick and chose to be aggressive. His nonchalant style of basketball has been hurting us for two years. He deserves national media criticism, every bit of it until he get back into his vintage form.
LeBron's facial expression is hilarious

Didn't play any defense? Who was Kawhi Leonard lighting up? Man y'all dudes are ridiculous. Spurs was shooting 90 fukking percent and want to call out 1 dude?
Wade is not the primary ball handler on the team, he doesn't control his shot attempts most games.

I'm not going to get onLebron because he doing a lot more than he can handle. Also, Lebron has been playing excellent ball prior to game 3. My main point is we haven't seen a consistent output from Wade on defense and offense. He is rolling on cruise control. Furthermore, Wade doesn't need to be the primary ball handler to be effective. He just need to shoot the ball more often.
