Dont think Wade is struggling for the most part. He's looked pretty good.
Looked good in game 5, but was still only the 2nd best SG on the court, as he was throughout the series.

OKC, SAS, & IND have been tough matchups for Bosh in years past. They will need more volume from Wade than what he's provided thus far.

Don't get too fixated with the Numbers when it comes to Miami. Lebron has the ball so much that Bosh and Wade aren't asked to do nearly as much. How they are playing, and whether or not they can come through in moments of perceived crisis is more important than whether or not they average 20 ppg.

The threat of them being able to carry them for a game or two during a series is more important because Lebron will more than likely carry the heavy offensive load for most of the games.

He has been a volume scorer his entire career, including his time with Lebron. If he averages under 20 ppg there's a pretty good chance that he did not "come through in moments of perceived crisis"

Game 7 against Indy he had 21. That series went 7 games when Indy's bench was giving them next to nothing. That means that Indy's starters were outplaying Miami's. One contributing factor to that was Wade's struggles.

They were about to go down 3-1 to the Spurs, he had 32. Game 7 he dropped 23.

Everytime the heats backs are against the wall, wade turns it up having dudes surprised like he isnt capable, we been seeing it since the 2012 playoffs, idk why we have to go through this every year

He turned it up in the finals last season, averaging 20 ppg.

Lance don't know what he's doing. David west probably slapped him cross his peanut headed brain after he said that.
 
R.I.P

Lance Stephenson said that he plans to be "extra aggressive" to make Dwyane Wade's knee "flare up" during the Eastern Conference finals.
Stephenson's comment isn't likely to sit well with the Heat, as it sounds as though he's wishing an injury on his opponent, and he's sure to get a lively reception when the series shifts to Miami. For what it's worth, Wade's knee hasn't bothered him in the playoffs, his hamstring injury has healed, and the hand injury he suffered vs. the Nets doesn't appear to be an issue. May 17 - 2:29 PM

Dudes just love to doubt. Then they act surprised when wade has that explosion game.
 
The full quote makes it sound completely different

“D. Wade — I think his knee is messed up, so I’ve got to be extra aggressive and make him run and have him running around and make his knee flare up or something,” he said after the Pacers practiced this afternoon. “I’ll do anything as much as possible.”
 
Have no idea why Beas can't crack the rotation when Rashard friggin Lewis is out there doing absolutely nothing.

its his defense and his shooting range. I think he's more of a mid range shooter so he doesn't really space the floor that well.
 
anyone else think all the pressure is on the pacers? They got the first seed, home court, if the lose they have no excuses.
