The difference only seems so dramatic this year because Wade was injured for a long stretch and he's taken on a secondary role.

I don't think Wade and Lebron are that dramatically different, talent-wise. Lebron has the benefit of media hype and has a much stronger drive.

Holy crap, the Pacers are just so, so bad at offense.

Simple question: Is YNB better than Wade right now? Wades complete lack of a jimpshot is scary..

Wade and Lebron are both good at dribble penetration. Lebron has a slight edge in 3pt % though
Gimme OKC everyday in a series.
On what basis?
The spurs get BETTER in the post season as pop has time to completely out coach terrible coaches like brooks.
IIRC, OKC don't even have home court.
There is nothing to suggest the series isn't wrapped up in under 6 by the spurs.

Talent wise(offensively) is a maybe. Wade is a slightly better offensive player, everything else? Lebron is on another level.

Indiana has as many turnovers this quarter as points: 4.

I really hope the Heat finish the Pacers in 4 or 5 games. Any longer and I fear that they won't have much left in the tank when they play Boston in the conference finals.
If you think the Sixers will beat the Celtics, you're delusional.

Lebron brought a bunch of scrubs to the best record in the league and the Finals. Wade brought a bunch of scrubs to 1st round exits. There's a gap between the two players.

Yeah I wasn't even thinking defensively. Lebron could be DPOTY every single year

First round exit when he was lucky. Wade led teams missed the playoffs a few times. There's a reason LeBron has won three more MVPs and it's not media hype.

Shaq, Zo and Gary Payton were scrubs? I didn't get the memo, apparently!Lebron brought a bunch of scrubs to the best record in the league and the Finals. Wade brought a bunch of scrubs to 1st round exits. There's a gap between the two players.

How is it the Pacers play ugly college ball but no one knows how to play against a zone? Guys just standing around, no one trying to create space or mismatches.

The Sixers CAN beat the Celtics, but they probably won't. Six or seven games series for sure.

Cool...So that means we can knock kobe for the same thing! You know, missing the playoffs and first round knockouts.

If the Sixers/Celtics series goes the distance, I won't complain.The Sixers CAN beat the Celtics, but they probably won't. Six or seven games series for sure.

Yeah, i think this is a possibility only because celtics have so many injuries....It's unfortunate miami are getting a free pass to the finals.

Wade has had some major injuries though.

How does this even make sense? LeBron shoots better and averages more assists but Wade is the better offensive player? Only on NeoGAF.

I used to think Danny Granger had talent. He is just ass.
Sweet. Might as well pick it up now. I'm not missing anything in this game.

It's not my fault that the Heat have the free pass. If D-Rose didn't get hurt, it probably would be a different story.

Someone tell the Pacers that we are the only playoff team that plays shameball.

Offensive talent. Create your own shot and score raw talent. It makes sense since i made an effort to say he is a maybe and only slightly better and only because of his lower efficiency. But wade is better at creating his own shot.
And on your assists totals, that's why i placed a category to it.

YOU CAN'T STOP WADE, ONLY HOPE TO CONTAIN HIM.

Sure, because missing the playoffs in the est is totally the same thing! It's been proven that a great player can drag a middling supporting cast to the playoffs in the East. In the West, you need an actual team. It's why KG missed the playoffs as well.
Wade has had some major injuries though.
Another reason to take LeBron over Wade!

Sigh. The Bulls were good and could have posed a challenge if D-Rose didn't get hurt.I can't remember seeing a team with such an absolute cakewalk to the finals. What an absolute joke the Eastern Conference is.

Ray(Bone spurs), Pierce(knee), Dwight(back), Rose(knee), Noah(ankle)......if the heat win i don't think there will be a big enough * to symbolize there championship.
