    Default What Wade did there....

    ....is no different than just turning his head and throwing the ball in the crowd somewhere.

    I never blame a loss on a player for missing a gamewinning / gametying shot (yes, Wade situation at the FT line was that important)... but this might be it considering the absurd decision of a 100% completely controllable play to win a game...

    Its 0.6 left.... score is 110-108 to Miami...

    Wade is at the line, they logically agreed upon needing to make at least 1 FT, if not, then at least miss them of the iron so the 0.6 sec can pass (no chance/time for rebound, its a win-win scenario).... Wade misses a FT... ok... no biggie... so he has to make the last one or simply just shoot it carefully hit or miss, as long as the ball hits the rim (so the clock can run off).... Its a 100% guaranteed win and 100% controllable situation.... whether he misses or makes....

    What he does instead is deliberately heaving the ball which makes it much harder to control where the ball will go (and i know he knew that)... missing the entire rim.....

    Now the Celtics hit a 3 with 0.6 left...

    This was a 100% controllable play/decision.... what happened next was NOT a mistake.... he could have easily/comfortably shot the ball for the miss, 100% guaranteed hitting the rim........... but nooooo.....

    There would a bigger chance of hitting a rim aka some sort of a fan prop (maybe a hat) if he threw it in the crowd instead of what he has done.

    One of the most retarded decisions of all time.

    I have not seen the game, so I am not going to comment on anything else that the Heat might've fu**ed up.

    All he had to do was shoot his normal freethrow (rarely ever makes late game FT's). He would've missed anyway.

    Wade is on a mental decline this year.

    No big deal, just regular season game... im just aiming at that play, very confusing, Wade is essentially a very high IQ player, not sure what he was thinking there.... he maybe was that confident he would still hit the rim throwing it that way and even if he missed it all like he did he maybe underestimated Celtics chances of making a 3 with 0.6 sec left...

    Forreal.

    Lebron threw the 2011 NBA Finals because Wade was going to win Finals MVP. I don't see pauk ever making a thread about that travesty.

    He thought it was over so he was playing around a little bit. That's all there is to it. The truth is Celtic had an extremely low chance to win the game in that situation.

    Kobe threw the 2004 finals because Shaq was gonna win the finals MVP again. Kobe also threw the 2008 finals.
