Heat fans have come a long way since-
Mark Cuban: "As much as our fans are maligned, this and that, our fans just punked the @#$%^ out of the Miami fans, you know? I mean, literally, that's the only way you can say it. We had fans here -- Miami's a great city; I love Miami -- but at the same time. We had our fans yelling 'Let's go Mavs' louder. I mean, it was crazy."

Have to give heat fans that much.

He's moving out there like he's 25 years old and full of energy, getting into the paint and going after rebounds versus Pacers' bigs, slashing, driving, dishing. Dude was just mentally out of it.

I know what a player with a bad knee looks like. Ask Knicks fans what a player with bad knees looks like.

You mean 25 years old the year he missed 30 games?

Wade isn't even as athletic as he was earlier this year.

There you go. Hurt =/= injured dude. Injured warrants being as bad as Wade's been. Hurt? Man up and find a way

Exactly, so on the rare nights where Kobe has a good game next year, I will simply claim that he isn't injured and is just going through the motions or has decided to suck in general with his upcoming 35% shooting season.

So wade is 100% and his game just randomly disappeared?

Wade still looks slower tonight than he has all year. He's just playing well for once. Which was a bit weird that he couldn't pull this off.

It's also game 7 so he's leaving everything out there.

100%? Probably not. Closer to 90% than the sub-50% output he's been given this series (not to mention his comments after Game 6)? Certainly.

It feels so weird to have everyone jumping on the Spurs bandwagon now. Is this what Goku feels like when he's summoning a Spirit Bomb?

He's a bum, he's no star. He's a Nate Robinson type of player that'll have a good game here and then disappear the next. He's never going to be a super star. Hell, I'm probably doing a disservice to Nate.

A guard with bad knees doesn't grab the type of rebounds Wade did tonight, especially 9 of them through 3 quarters.

Westbrook played well in game 2 after tearing his meniscus Rondo rinished his game fine when he tore his acl.

Wade has been slowed down by his injury. Doesn't mean he's incapable of playing well at times.

The discussion around him has been premature, he's talented but it's his efficiency is not good enough. Still young tho.

You are not comparing an Achilles rupture to whatever is bothering are you? And I bet you right now if he is able to play he won't fall off like some of you are wishing for.

I was counting on the Spurs to handle this from the start of these conference finals. Pacers had a good run, so we had to see it through. But it's over now...

So back to the original plan. Let's do this, Timmy.

18th year Kobe would still be the best player in Jazz History.

He's a defensive specialist being forced to be a scorer. I don't think his scoring numbers from game to game should influence people's opinions on him since his offensive impact is low while his defensive impact is great.

Agree- but people want to make him into the scorer Indy needs.

Man. People hated the Yankees, hated the Celtics, hated the Lakers, Kentucky basketball, Patriots, etc. Heat aren't the first hated team and they won't be the last.

And obviously they are good. You think I'd give a fuck about them losing if they were limping into the playoffs every year? Of course not.

No one is blaming his play soley on the knee. But to say that he isn't hurt is fucking retarded. Dude has a tucking bone bruise and has been playing every other day for how long? Fuck outta here
