Do people realize: Wade's Rings

[red1]

It makes perfect sense. I like you, dont get the wrong impression but lets be real you are one confused nba fan.

Did you miss by big ass post a couple of posts ago or do you just have trouble reading?


Is that why Wade went to the Cav's to join LeBron. I never said Wade is a better player than LeBron, BTW.

Also, Miami was not even close to losing to the Bulls. So what you said is pretty irrelevant.

So two overtime games and needing a miraculous comeback in the final minutes of game 5 is what you call not even close?
Yes the Heat won in 5 games, but don't try and act like they won any of those games in dominating fashion. The difference between winning and losing is very small in the playoffs. A few bad plays by the Heat in crunch time, or Korver making a few more open 3's, and that series could have EASILY gone the other way. Difference is Lebron was able to carry the team to victory while Wade struggled. Why couldn't Wade carry the team to victory when Lebron was slumping?

Mavs 1st, Heat 2nd

At least Wade showed up in the 4th/OT in this series, with clutch shots and defense on rose.

Or are you going to act like Wade had zero points in this comeback in game 5?

Chris Bosh. LeBron needed 19 PPG from Wade and 23 PPG (68% TS) from Bosh to "carry" the Heat over the Bulls. Bosh and LeBron averaged 19 (50% TS) and 18 in the Finals. Brian Cardinal's hip check didn't help either.

The 06 finals were not rigged.

It was just a time with shitty rules in which it was impossible to stop quality perimeter players. Just nothing you could do.

That last play of game 5 just proves it...we triple teamed Wade essentially and he still gets to the rim and slightly fouled based on the rules...why? Because the rules were a complete joke.

Also, hard to live with the push off Wade did to Terry and then just drives into traffic and gets a call.

Tough at the time to take and still tough...people forget that Dirk actually made a shot over Shaq with 9 seconds left to go up 1. Would have been a defining moment (another one) in Dirk's career. And it's just hard to say Wade deserved to get 2 points off that last play...just really shitty.

But the basketball universe corrected itself in 2011 when we shocked the world and left no doubt in 2011.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Glad that you guys won the chip in 2011. Shit couldnt have been scripted any better.

Epic shot.... and then, yea, ref alert... like you say, perhaps not rigged, but still wrong calls.

But it wasn't the wrong call...we fouled Wade based on the rules.

it's just shitty rules.

the only argument on that one single play was that if you aren't going to call Wade for the clear push off, which dismantled our defense, then you probably shouldn't bail him out going 1 on 3.

But in a vacuum, that was a foul...but in the spirit of the play...probably should have been a no call after the push off.

But meh....over and done with and we got them in 11. And Dirk's legacy ended up being pretty much exactly where it should have been either way...

Lebron saved Dirk's legacy then, and shat all over his team-mate's. That series could've been a sweep if the man had shown up like, at all. And people'd likely still be calling Dirk a choking soft euro-big.
