In the 4 games Shaq has been out, Wade's averaged 28 points | 8.5 assists | 4.0 rebounds | 7.3 - 9.5 FT attempts | 56.9% FG | 2.75 steals, though also 4.8 turnovers, but Stan won't have too many complaints considering the rest of his production. Now in addition to that, he's had 2 wins vs the Magic, a loss to the Bulls by 4, and a loss on a missed last second shot attempt to the Pacers. This is with a Heat team that has minimal depth, and is focused on really only 2 players, pretty impressive indeed. Francis just can't hang, Wade is more athletic, doesn't jump like Francis, though he can also get up there, but he's stronger, quicker, and a better all-round player. Francis in the 2 games: 5-16 FG | 22 points | 7 assists | 5 turnovers 5-14 FG | 16 points | 4 assists | 3 turnovers ___ 33.3% FG | 19.5 points | 5.5 assists | 9-12 FT attempts | 4 turnovers <font color="Red">Wade:</font> 67.8% FG | 26.5 points | 7.5 assists | 7.5 - 9.5 FT | 5 turnovers Also add Wade shutting him down defensively down the stretch, and stripping the ball from Francis when he thought he had a breakaway dunk, poor guy. This might quiet those that use the Wade is only better because he's playing with Shaq excuse, or that he's not as capable a player without Shaq, this just shows how good the guy really is. Now let's hope Shaq comes back soon so the Heat don't get more losses
