Swap Wade & Kobe in '09 & '10

The 2 guards needs to be a 3pt threat to fully maximize triangle

So does being a playmaker - and Wade is a better one. That Laker team is a better 3PT shooting team w/ Wade's inside-out passing.

Seemed to work just fine when Kobe shot 25% from 3 in 2002.

I'm sure Phil would have been able to fully utilize/maximize Wade's abilities in different ways. Like I said, the style would be slightly different but I think the end result would be the same.

True, but the comparison is '09 and '10. You can get away with shooting 25% w/ peak Shaq.

[Milbuck]

That's not it... But Kobe's cast was strong, and LeBron was a better player at this stage...

Only the guys from the top tier could replace Kobe.

LeBron, Wade, Dirk, Paul.. Howard with the equivalent of a cast fit for him.

Lmfao..Paul and Howard are not winning on those 2009 and 2010 teams. Even if you change the roster style to fit Dwight. And Dirk is no guarantee either, although I could see him winning in 2009.

Is CP3 putting up 34/6/6/1/1 on 63% TS in the 2009 WCF? Or 32/6/7/1/1 on 53% TS in the finals?

Is CP3 putting up 34/7/8/1/1 on 64% TS in the 2010 WCF? And people trash Kobe's 2010 Finals because of that game 7...but he did put up 30/7/4/2/1 on 56% TS over the first 6 games..not sure CP3 does that against that Celtics team.

No, but swap Wade and 07 LeBald and he doesnt get swept by the Spurs.

good thing he shot 38% on even more attempts per game once the post season rolled around huh?

dumbass

[Smoke117]

Wade ate that 2010 Celtics team up in the first round:

33.2ppg 5.6rpg 6.8apg 1.8spg 1.6spg .562%fg .405%3pt

Second leading scorer was Chalmers at 10.8ppg...you could replace Wade with anyone and that Heat team would still have no chance vs the Celtics.

Considering what he did to the Celtics...The Lakers wouldn't have needed 7 games to beat them in the finals with Wade.

[HOoopCityJones]

Kobe leads his Team to victory in a weak ass conference. Because he would have gotten the most outta guys like Beasley early on.

[TheMarkMadsen]

True, but Wade shot 32% in 2009, Kobe shot 33% in 2010. Not that big a difference. Don`t know why people think Kobe is some godlike 3pt shooter.

how many times you gonna lie in this thread?

Kobe shot 37% on 6 attempts per game during the playoffs

Wade shot 36% on 7 attempts per game in 09, and 40% on 7 attempts in 10. Shifting to playoff stats doesn't help your case.

Wade shot 41% on 7 attempts against the Celtics in the 2010 post season. Get off Kobe`s dick.

[JT123]

Weren't you shitting on Wade before and acting like it was a basketball miracle that Lebron won at all with the Heat? Now that Kobe is being brought up in the discussion, Wade is suddenly getting respect from you again.

Wade fell off big time over the last 2 seasons, that can't be denied. However, he was ELITE in 2009 and 2010. I give respect when it is due.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Wade shot 36% on 7 attempts per game in 09, and 40% on 7 attempts in 10. Shifting to playoff stats doesn't help your case.

you're comparing a 6 game playoff and a 7 game playoff to a 23 game span and another 23 game span..

and i've been talking playoff stats the entire time.. my initial post was about playoff stats.. not "shifting" anything

it was Young X who "shifted" to regular season stats when he brought up Kobe 02..

and then he looked like a dumbass because Kobe shot significantly better on even more attempts come playoff time

[TheMarkMadsen]

Wade shot 41% on 7 attempts against the Celtics in the 2010 post season. Get off Kobe`s dick.

you really thought you were slick trying to say Kobe shot 25% in 02, check the playoff stats next time before coming off like a dumbass

and cool, wade shot 40% over 7 games, doesn't mean he can sustain that over a championship run while still shooting 6-7 threes per game

in fact.. the very next year in 2011 over a 21 game span.. Wade shot 27% on less than 3 attempts per game..

so there goes that..
