Wade plays with Bron..he's taking a step back obviously..if he still had that bum ass squad from 3 years ago..he would be still averaging 32.

The disrespect some of you clowns show to great PROVEN players is disgusting.

I fukks with my dude harden but he is not seeing Wade in any shape or form.

I grew up in South Florida. I remember skinny ass Wade who had a jumper and before he became a diva.

I don't know what's going on with Wade but I think he's simply bored. The Heat in general are an easily unmotivated team. We have to compare situations here. We have 30 year old vet, two rings, finals mvp, whatever achievements you wanna name, he seems "satisfied" with what he's done. I don't think he honestly feels like there is anything left to prove to anyone.

He doesn't hustle back on defense, he bytches at refs rather than playing through no-calls, overall, he just doesn't seem to be the same person he used to be. It was like this the whole season up until the Pacers series last year before he got called out and snapped out of his weird act. Next game what happened? We saw vintage Wade. Edgy, finishing at the rim like he used to, making smart plays, not settling for jumpshots over longer defenders, he was his old self.

He just seems bored right now. I can't find any other way to explain it. If it isn't the Finals or Playoffs, I just don't think Wade is going to bring it every single night. The biggest question mark for Wade and the Heat as a team is this: Do they still give a fukk about winning a championship? I know for sure that Lebron does, but that Knicks game was a repeat of what we saw from them throughout last season. Just subpar effort and overall lackadaisical play.

Right now, Harden is definitely outperforming Wade in every facet. Right now as in November 4th, 2012. Does it mean Harden is the "better" player? No. However, is Harden outplaying him as of this moment? Without a doubt, and it isn't debatable, it isn't an argument, it's simply fact. Pure and simple.

I agree with the bulk of this except being bored shouldn't be an excuse,the heat had the whole league gunnin for them before they won a championship now they should be even more motivated to become great and win multiple titles

Wade seems to be falling off physically.He don't attack,get back on defense like he use to and he's become a habitual whiner to refs.At times watching him play you see he cant do the things he use to do athletically,maybe he's 90% back from that knee injury that's the only excuse I can give him

I can see it now, the threads being made if Harden comes out and beasts again and drops another 40

" Is Harden>>>>>>Durant?"

" Harden is Top 5 right now!" :stopitslime:

The people saying Harden is a great player could very well be right, but two games ain't proof of shyt, and I would be saying the same damn thing if Harden sucked the first two games and people were acting like it's significant, you of-the-moment ass nikkas.

Harden is outplaying Lebron "right now", so what?

Wade is not on a team where he can or should press. You've seen plenty Wade games where 5/12 14pts ends up 10/20 26pts, but there's also the possibility of that becoming 8/22 for 20pts. If he goes that way with Bosh hot, he's fukking the team to get his and we probably lose a game like last night. That's when I would have a problem with Wade. When he was feeling it vs Boston they went to him and scored 29...2 games ago.

Team has scorers out the ass

I'm not denying any of that, my point is that people saying Harden is better at the moment are making a valid argument. That's all I'm saying. I'm not going to repeat points I've already made in a previous point, but I think you misunderstood what I said.

Bored shouldn't be an excuse but if you watch the games this year and last year especially, they lost most of the games against big time opponents. I'm telling you, there is no other way to explain it. They just look lackadaisical and it appears like they're not giving full effort night in and night out.

This is a team that expects to be in the NBA Finals every season, you can't expect them to give full effort every single game of a 82 game season. You have to consider that most teams in the league are going to be gunning for the Heat especially and when you them bring full on effort on a night the heat might be mailing it in, you're gonna see blowouts.

I hear you but what about the 90's bulls? They had the league gunnin for them and were winning 67,72 and 69 games.They were focused enough to win 72 out of 82 games and they knew they were gonna be in the finals every year also on top of having multiple titles as a team the heat won ONE and are bored?

This is the biggest key in repeating. It's not always about talent, it's not always about ability or skill, it's not always about strength of competition, it ultimately comes down to how motivated is your collective group toward a goal?

I'm not sayin they don't want to win another championship, I'm just saying that during the regular season, there are definitely going to be games that they'll mail in. We saw the same exact pattern last season, but when they finally had their backs against the wall (Pacers series) it's like a sleeping giant was awoken.

Also I wouldn't compare anyone on this Heat roster to the competitive psychopath that was Michael Jordan. Dude was pathological madman when it came to winning. I definitely think Lebron is still going hard every game just like last season, but there are question marks on some of the other guys.
