Giles, does Mia win a title without Wade the last 2 years?

And make 3 straight, thats the argument you're making here.

You need that 2nd option.

Certainly possible since Wade was awful in the playoffs last year outside of 2-3 games.

So you are saying the talent Miami has outside of LEbron and Wade is similar to outside of KD and RW?

LMAO at the top, holy fail batman.

I'm saying it's far better than what OKC has, they are stacked.
 
Vs. Bucks: 13.7 ppg. 37% shooting, 4 to/game
Vs. Bulls: 12.6 ppg, 50% shooting, 2 to/game
Vs. Ind 15.4 ppg, 44% shooting, 3 to/game
Vs. SA 19.6 ppg, 48% shooting, 2 to/game

Game 4 vs. SA brings his numbers up to respectability for that series.
 
When Wade is on the floor there is a level of respect that he commands. If yo udon't think it effects the defensive strategy then I don't know what to say.

He had very good games in Games 1/4/7 alone vs SA.

He had some good ones vs Indiana, 20+ in Game 7 vs Indiana.

They didnt really need him in Rd 1.

Again, it's about having another threat, Miami is easier to defend without Wade on the floor just like OKC is easier to defend without Russ on the floor.

Simple logic.

You can trap/double KD more when Russ isnt there, when he is, you cant because of his explosiveness to get to the hoop and the lane is more open. All about spacing, ball movement.
 
Here's LeBron Games 1-3 vs SA.

Game1 7/16 - 18 points
Game2 7/17 - 17 points
Game3 7/21 - 15 points

Let's not act like he carried them and averaged 40 PPG.

When LeBron is on the floor there's a level of respect he commands that means Wade should have more opportunities to not suck.

17 points on 47% shooting, 2 assist, 2 rebounds is a very good game?

He scored 21 points on 7 of 17 shooting in game 7 vs. Indy. (4 turnovers)

Game 4 was scewed, he got 8-9 points in the final 2 minutes stat-padding.

DWade carried them that game.

2nd half of the Game 6, and Game 7 of course he did.

lololllolololololo

that selfish Lebron making shots in the playoffs.
 
Eh, I just don't think its relevant to use his performance as a 18/19 year old. He is a completely different player.

I don't think he's a different player....he plays the same way, obviously he's become a better player on a higer level BUT his game is the same.

He was making pin point cross court passes with his left hand across his body?

He was making pocket passes to his rolling big men for dunks? He was hitting greater thna 40% of his pull jumpers?

I just don't think that RW was doing many of those things in UCLA which is why many thought he was an overdraft by the Thunder.

LOL at citing one pass.......anyways.....

His last season at UCLA he shot 47% from the field and 34% from three with a slash of 13/4/4. (Sophmore season)

He is currently shooting for his career 43% from the field and 31% from three.

You don't even watch college basketball, why I'm I arguing this with you?

How many games did you really watch of RW at UCLA. At most 15-20? Do you realize how many times I have seen RW play?

What does that have to do with RW at UCLA? Since again, you don't watch college basketball.....
