Why does every commentator I read/hear expect D-Wade to be better?

[jwinfield]

He shot below 40%against thabo

People forget Thabo causing Wade problems in 07 when Bulls swept them.

 

[Constellations]

That's his whole game though. When Jordan lost his athleticism he was still the best player in the game because he had his midrange game. Same with Kobe. Iverson too. Wade can't shoot! He can't shoot FTs, he can't shoot 3's, and now he can't explode to the basket. nikka is status.

is next.

I wouldnt say thats his WHOLE game. He has some post game and a decent jumper. Inconsistent but decent.

If he can work on those things in the offseason i can see him being more effective

 

[NV-ME]

thabo's a good defender, but more importantly, if wade has to guard russy, he will be spent by game 3.

 

[Propaganda]

Because he was one of the best players in the league for a majority of the season...

And as good as Thabo is, the best offensive players are still expected to beat him regularly.

lol not this season.

That's not gonna help him tonight though.

It seems that everybody is really ignoring that Thabo is a good defender. I said from the start that the Thunder match up with extremely well with the Heat. I think they could play Lebron, Wade, and Bosh straight up and not double at all.

durant can't guard lebron...

 

[Crakface]

Wades knees are made out of rice krispy treats now. Its over.

 

[Constellations]

That's not gonna help him tonight though.

oh yeah im not talking about this series. He only gonna have willpower and some luck on his side tonight

You single him and live with it. If you stay at home on shooters, Lebron won't be enough. OKC has way too much offense for that.

 

[TheNig]

becuz great offense beats great defense every time. but when is the last time Wade displayed some great offense?

 

[HHR]

lol not this season.

Yes, this season.

 

[Black]

But that kind of goes to my point, Bean was hitting some HARD shots! He did have the closeout game where he was getting to the rim, but that was because he was hitting those jumpers.

As far as playing Wade, Thabo is playing him perfectly. And people forget that Sefalosha is 6'7. All he is doing is playing off just enough to take the drive away, but staying close enough to contest the jumper. I'm not sure if Wade could take him in the post and unless the refs give him some calls, I just can't see him getting off this series.

Wade goes 4 30 tonight bruh

 

[Loose]

@WojYahooNBA Dwyane Wade on the floor early in OKC, drenched in sweat, working on his mid-range game.

 

[TheNig]

cant take dude serious anymore.

Russy goin off regardless, that shyt is just futile! Spo even put Lebron on him to start the 4th last game. If Spo played Lebron on Russy the whole game, the Heat lost by 20.
