He's playing hurt this season. That's why his offensive and defensive numbers are down this year.

yea... and its only 6 games... he will be bounce back... as long as he is healthy in the playoffs...

I guess... one more excuse wouldn't hurt.

That's a legit injury.

Due to the huge amount of basketball knowledge I have collected over my many years of watching and playing basketball, I will solve this riddle of the cause of wades poor play.


He's out of rhythm.


Chill out homies, hell get it back, people on this board change their opinions depending on the direction the wind blows.

Uh, Wade had a great season last year...and you're complaining he doesn't have a 50 point game through a week or so of play?

I think the same case was at the start of couple of last seasons where he had poor and lazy beggining but managed to catch it after first month or so. So stop coming with early conclusion just like that.

He always starts out slow. He is not one of the hardest working players, so he usually reports to camp a bit out of shape.

He usually finds his rhythm in the second month, and starts putting up MVP type numbers towards the end of it. That is one of the reasons why he is never in the MVP discussions, because he takes at least the first month off to play himself back to shape.

His age will eventually catch up to him (it may be this year, it may be not), so his little plan of getting in shape during the season will cause him to decline, since his body won't always be able to shift gears that fast, and/or he will seriously get injured in the process.

Wade out for tonight's game with an ankle injury.

I hope he can get back healthy and ready to dominate but those italian shoes had to have contributed to his plantar fascitis.

im sure when lebron and bosh joined him in miami they all thought it would be easy to jsut steamroll the league. it would be really easy for great players whove had to work so hard to be that great to get together and say to themselves hey i dont have to work as hard as i have in the past bc i have such great players at my side. i dont thiink hes done by any means but if they want to start winning rings that whole team has to work thier butts off and be at the absolute top of their games
