No one is going to want Wade though.

You'd be surprised.

I don't think he'll command a blockbuster trade, but I do think there will be some playoff teams who will give him a shot because they feel he gets them closer to a championship and will hope that his struggles are only due to health.

Who is the fit? What team needs a shooting goard who can't shoot, but because he can only drive clogs the lane for the bigs on the team?

I wouldn't want him on my team, and I agree with you for the most part, but history shows that teams will always take a chance on a name in hopes that he can rediscover his old form and lead them all the way.

It happens all the time in all the sports, and I'm sure it would happen again with Wade.

I just would like a team name that might have interest. Who would want him?

I think Chicago, Clippers, and Memphis would all at least make a call.

Chicago has needed a 2 guard for quite some time and he is from Chicago as well. Now whether Miami would send him there is another story, but I think the Bulls would be interested.

Clippers need a scorer type and Memphis could use a solid SG too.

Orlando would take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Texas Ace]

I know I'm stating the obvious here, but this is not the way Miami needed to start.

 

[Texas Ace]

The hamstring sure doesn't look to be bothering Parker.

Great start for him.

I'm waiting to see how he looks after sitting down for a long stretch.

As an aside, LeBron James has finally made a concerted effort to get into the paint and play aggressive tonight.

 

[1bigfan13]

Looks like we're in for a 40 point night from LeBron tonight.

I don't think San Antonio will have a problem with that as long as they contain the other Heat players. Wade gets off to fast starts but has consistently tailed off in the 2nd half, so I doubt he keeps up this level of play for 4 quarters.

 

[Texas Ace]

You knew he would.

It does come naturally, but at least now he will change things up after it's pointed out to him.

He's probably going for 35-plus tonight.

 

[1bigfan13]

everyone is taking turns blocking Splitter's shot.

 

[1bigfan13]

Splitter's even being blocked on Twitter.

 

[Texas Ace]

Yea, Splitter isn't the strongest going to the basket.

 

[Carp]

Orlando would take him in a heartbeat.

That'd be a mistake...they can't contend and would have to give up youth and picks.

Close game going into the 4th.

Spurs can still do this.

 

[Texas Ace]

When Miami's big 3 all come to play, there's not much you can do.

It didn't help that the Spurs were as careless with the ball as I've ever seen a Popovich team be.

I think the winner of game 5 wins the series.

 

[Smitty]

Well, now it's kinda over.

Game 5 becomes kinda must win for the Spurs.

 

[Texas Ace]

Well, now it's kinda over.

Game 5 becomes kinda must win for the Spurs.

If this was Wade's awakening as opposed to just one good game, then Miami will win 3 straight.

And another careless pass. Man, the Spurs were awful with the ball tonight.

It's kind of wait and see with Wade. I thought he was finally back to his old self after the strong Game 7 performance against the Pacers but he's been pretty average in the Finals. If he can put up two more performances like this San Antonio doesn't stand a chance.

I was very surprised to see Bosh actually operating in the paint last night. I think that caught everyone by surprise.

Also, on San Antonio's side of the ball, they've got to get something from Manu Ginobili. Ginobili has been nothing but FAIL in this series. I wonder if Pop is considering cutting his minutes.
