I'd call 1 out of 5 games about on par for most people, but yes Lebron had his problems in the sweatsock game. He had great averages for the games in which he played. I realize a smaller sample size is not indicative of what could have transpired beyond the other 54 games, but I will stand by what I said.

Neither have anything to do with him handling his leaving Cleveland poorly (which I do agree with but these are seperate conversations).

My issue was with you accusing Lebron of chasing championships, or more accurately, saying that that is an inherently terrible thing to do. Which I disagreed with.

My analogy was meant to show how moving to a new job for personal benefits is not a bad thing at all.

Oh okay, I thought you were referring to something else.

Also, I disagree.... I think Lebron is chasing championships. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting championships. I just wish he had more team sportsmanship/loyalty which he lacks tremendously.

Agree!

Agree!

Lebron was not stellar this entire series either!

The only player with a guaranteed contract for next year is Norris Cole.

Your opinion on Wade has ceased to matter ever since you said the dude's not a basketball legend and a HOF.

Most of the games Wade missed during the regular season were back-to-back, next-day games. I don't think he played any of them the whole season. He was only injured for 8-12 games at the tail end of the regular season.

I am not debating the fact that he played well and contributed alot. I just can not say for someone of DWades status a season where 28 games are not played can be considered a good year for him. For another player, yea sure...but DWade is a future HOFer on a championship team going for a 3 peat.

.

You always tell me why my opinion does not matter but you never give evidence. lol

What does that have to do with THIS discussion?


Multiple posters have cited evidence to support that Wade did not do stellar during the series. He missed alot of games during the regular season and he did nothing during the final series.

If you think that Wade had a good season then so be it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.


I personally didn't and I think he might want to think about taking a break because he has had previous knee problems and I believe surgery. That is to much pressure on the knees. He is a shadow of his former self.

I guess I would argue that the number of games played in the regular season is not a good indicator of how well a player is doing, but despite that, Wade's scoring output has dropped steadily over the past 6 seasons, and I think that's probably a good indicator of how Wade's game has deteriorated. Of course, he shot a career high from the field so I will argue that it is debatable at this point.

It's not an opinion. It's difficult to say where Wade ranked in points-per-game this year because his statistic is skewed due to missing a third of the regular season, but if you count him among the league leaders in points, he is around the 25th top scorer in the league this season, out of some 400 players.
Take a seat 'son.

Also, that post was supposed to prove you don't know anything about D-Wade.



In an unrelated note, 'twas a sad day today for this man.

Wades scoring dropped because the last 4 years Lebron has been the main man.
