Why didn't Wade get ANY blame for losing the Finals?

[Dragonyeuw]

more than Wade.

6/16 shooting with 5 turnovers when your season is on the line deserves some criticism

So you're saying Wade scored less than 18 4th quarter points? How many did he score then? And if less, why has Lebron been getting creamed all summer for his 'no-shows' in the 4th quarter? Which, I suppose, plays into your main point.

[donald_trump]

lol @ this... just shows how much you know about basketball history... ZERO

outside of jerry wests performance, name me one better. Go!

Lebron took much less shots, he averaged more rebounds, assists and so on... so what?

were supposed to say thats fine because he was scared to take over unlike wade?

I couldnt care less what they produced when they BOTH choked in the clutch.... despite Wade scoring more points than Lebron in Finals, Wade was actually not able to close a single game out........ but Lebron did that in Game 1....

thats all you care about. production. thats all we see from you. PER this, PER that. *Insert another production stat*
you conveniently skip over lebrons failures in the clutch when it suits you to look at production.

wade demolished lebron in terms of performance in the finals. lebron was a nobody. wade was the only thing keeping the heat afloat.

so much for stats when you cant close a game out....

you're the one that kept saying to give the ball to lebron in the clutch in the game threads. they did that, and lebron failed. how are you going to blame wade when he isnt the one taking them down the stretch? thats what lebrons there for, to finish games, and he didnt do that.

Wade was also HORRIBLE in Game 5 & Game 6.... remember?

23 points and 8 assists is horrible? especially after injuring himself and coming back on the court. he was the heats best player.

Nobody cared about Wade... it was all about Lebron.... acting like if he averaged a 30 point triple double they would have won.... did you see the ECF against Magic? He averaged almost a 40 point triple double against them................. people still bashed him saying: "Lebron statpadded/ballhoged and thats why they lost"....

i dont care. he played great then. now he played terrible, and he deserves it.

Forget the stats, just look at the way Wade & LeBron played. 6/16 isn't great but neither was Dirk in Game 6.

Overall, Wade came to the Finals to play and compete, while LeBron only showed up in Game 1 and the first half of Game 6. Where was he from games 2 to 5?

Their body language and demeanor showed more about how they played than their actual stats.

Forget the stats, just look at the way Wade & LeBron played. 6/16 isn't great but neither was Dirk in Game 7.

GAME 1:
Lebron was more productive than Wade... and they won, he had some amazing clutch plays.

GAME 2:
Wade was more productive than Lebron... and they losed, both choked in the clutch, only Lebron got the blame ofcourse...

GAME 3:
Wade was more productive than Lebron... and they won, but it was Lebrons gamewinning behind the back assist to Bosh which won the game, Lebron STILL got bashed for not producing so well.

GAME 4:
Wade was more productive than Lebron... and they losed, both choked in the clutch, only Lebron got the blame ofcourse.

GAME 5:
Lebron was more productive than Wade... and they losed, Wade was horrible this game, but nope, once again Lebron gets all the blame, nobody touched Wade. The 1st Finals triple double since 1991 was now just "useless attempt by lebron", Lebron still didnt show up..... they said... yep... nobody cared about Wade.

GAME 6:
Lebron was more productive than Wade... and they losed, Wade was horrible this game, but nope, once again Lebron gets all the blame, nobody touched Wade.


LEBRON LED THEM TO 1 WIN
WADE LED THEM TO 1 WIN

WADE PLAYED BETTER 3 TIMES
LEBRON PLAYED BETTER 3 TIMES


dont even try to deny this... the only reason Wade averaged more points is because he SHOT MORE.... while Lebron was passing more.... thats the only difference.... they both sucked in the Clutch... thats where the game was lost......

the point is, only Lebron got the blame...

game 7?

if you where talking about game 6, Dirk came through when it mattered most.

[DMV2]

LeBron played great in Game 5???? Don't get it twisted, LeBron DID NOT show up in the three Dallas games.

Game 5 is the game where Wade only played 3 quarters due to injury.

Since when is the 1st Finals triple double since 1991 NOT SHOWING UP?

What a ***ing hypocrite you are.... if you think Wade SHOWED UP but Lebron DIDNT?? The result was the same... Wade choked in the 4th... Lebron choked in the 4th.... end of story....

Wade was able to close out 1 game and Lebron was able to close out 1 game.... thats all that matters, its there they showed up... i couldnt care less who averaged more rebounds or assists or points... when the outcome is a FAIL

my point is... Wade nor Lebron did show up!

Would you say Lebron "SHOWED UP" if he averaged a 30 point triple double and still losed? I know i wouldnt........... its the OUTCOME that counts... ITS CLOSING GAMES OUT THAT COUNTS AS SHOWING UP AND NEITHER WADE OR LEBRON SHOWED UP

lol @ someone having a triple double is called not showing up.

[DMV2]

I'll give him credit for the 10 rebounds but we all know his assists don't mean shit since he doesn't make his teammates better.

17 points and only 2 FTA???? Yeah, he showed up and was very aggressive!!!!

[pegasus]

lol @ someone having a triple double is called not showing up.

lol @ not watching the game. That was the emptiest, least meaningful, and most misleading triple-double of all time. He did not dominate the game, not even one second.

[pauk]

Lebron played horrible by his standards.... scoring wise at least... but he also didnt take many shots... its not like he shot 20% or something... he just didnt take that many shots....


18-7-7 stat line itself makes anybody an all-star... but by Lebron standards you expect 30-10-10... we are spoiled lol...


18-7-7 should be enough to win a championship if you have a great team....

THOSE WERE MAGIC JOHNSONS IDENTICAL NUMBERS WHEN HE WON HIS FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP

18-7-7 would be more than enough if Wade & Bosh stepped up (--->IN THE CLUTCH<---)......... like KAREEM was able to do for Magic Johnsons 18-7-7 statline


Just like LEBRON stepped up and closed out the Bulls series when WADE played horrible..... WADE was not good enough to do it for LEBRON

1980 finals
Magic - 21.5 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 8.7 apg, 2.7 spg
42/15/7 in the clincher

dont compare lebrick to a champion magic

Lebron has set lofty standards like 38,8,8( against Orlando in 2009) so we know what he is capable of at his best. So, if I may ask without you going off on a mad tangent, why didn't we see anything approaching that level of play in the 2011 playoffs? Why did he decide to shoot so little when it's obvious the Heat needed more scoring from him?

no

Lebron was better than Wade in every game except game 6

Please stop saying "Losed", it's "Lost".
