A ) The team isnt underachieving. Even if Hughes, Jones, and marshall were all laying great, no one expected this team to be better than the Pistons, hence, the 4th seed. That's exactly what they are right now, so how are they underachieving?Even if Marhsall, Hughes, and Jones were playing great, this team was expected to win 55 games max. They are on pace to win 50+. How are they underacheiving?Marshall and Jones are shooting under 40% and Hughes has only played 28 games. Yet they are still on pace to win 50+. If anything, with how they've played and Hughes missing games, they are overacheiving. How are they underacheiving? Seriously, what expectations did you have for these guys? And Marshall and Jones are shooting under 40% from downtown and inside the arc. LeBron is getting them the ball they just aren't finishing. In the Lakers case, yes, Sasha is missing open shots, I agree with you, I wouldn't have called you a homer for that, cause it's true
What i expected them was to win more games, it wasn't possible for them to get in the top 3 because of the stupid divisions.If Marshall and Jones were playing properly who knows what there record could've been? Better than they have now.I seriously don't know how you can go from shooting 52% in one season to 38%. It's baffels me.
So what are you saying? Because LeBron is passing to them they are missing shots so he's making them worse?They are on pace to win 50+. What the heck did you expect from them?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>You know why? Because if i said excatly what K-mart said i would be called a homer.</div>Kmart said "Again, watch games. These guys are always open, they simply miss. Today Marshall was pathetic when open, however Damon Jones really stepped up, hitting 3 Fourth Quarter treys"You lost me melo, how is that a homer statement by you. Your statement in bringing the Lakers up for no reason shows your a homer more then if you repeated what Kmart said.
If i moan and say kobe's assist count is down because Sasha and smush brick open shots, i'm called a homer. There is no doubting it.
Got to agree with this.Earlier tonight Heat lost to Cavs 99-106 and Heat had no Shaq.Oh and guess what.Lebron scored 47DWayde scored 44 :rock:
That was a great game for both those guys. I still wouldn't believe though that if you told me the Heat would be starting Micheal Doleac, and have no Shaq or Zo that the Heat would win the game. Big Z should have had a bigger game then he did.

No, i was not talking about what he said. It was a general comment, it had nothing to do with what he said.
Dwayne Wade is a special talent that obviously works hard in the offseason to max his abilities but to say he's better than LeBron is ridiculous. LeBron James is 3 years younger than Dwyane Wade and was hyped out of HS for a reason, he's probably the best player to come into the league since Shaquille O'Neal. Imagine LeBron when he's 24 years old. Wade is a great player but LeBron is better now and in three years will be the best player anyone has ever seen. Don't use teammates to undervalue someone.

Look at it this way...Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would not be known as the best players ever if they didn't win championships and mix them with talent. Jordan had MANY championships and had 5 MVP's, and Kareem had MANY championships and had 6 MVP's.So if you don't win in the playoffs, then you aren't the best.LeBron has not yet won in the playoffs. Wade has. The talent is really about the same.So final word?Wade is better.By the way, I'm not a fan of either of these players.
How is the talent the same? Both handle the ball the same amount, LeBron has inferioir teammates, yet he gets more assists. LeBron gets more rebounds, and I don't care if it's due to position or not, he still gets more rebounds. LeBron also scores more, with a superioir variety of offensive moves. All Wade does is attack and shoot 12 ft. jumpers. LeBron can hit threes, post you up, hit pull up 20 footers, and take you inside. Then compare their teams, and it's not a valid argument. This is LeBron's best team this year, now let's compare it to DWade's first teamG. Eric Snow PG. Dwayne WadeSG. Eddie JonesSG. Ronald MurraySF. Caron ButlerSF. LeBron JamesPF. Lamar OdomPF. Drew GoodenC. Brian GrantC. Big ZWade had superioir teammates in his first year to what LeBron has even now in his career. Even off the bench, LeBron has Donyell Marshall and Damon Jones, while Wade had Udonis Haslem and Damon Jones. Wade has always had superioir teams, so while he is more prven, it's too early to use that in a valid comparison.

LeBron is doing everything he can to push his pathetic team to the playoffs and you give Wade the edge because he's had better teams? Talent level the same? Are you kidding me? LeBron IS THREE YEARS YOUNGER AND IS PUTTING UP 31/7/7 A GAME...Come on. I love Wade but we all know why LeBron was hyped because he's going to be one the top few to EVER play the game.
I don't think age has a <Censored> do do with how good they are now, but there's no question LeBron will be the better player.
