Dwyane Wade finally got to 40 points. NEW CAREER HIGH He has 42 right now in OT against the 76ers. Hopefully we win this one.
Why do all the higher seeded teams have to choke! The cavs need all the help they can get, but all the high seeds keep losing to the low seeds! Life isn't fair
Tough loss tonight but hell of a game by Wade. D. Wade 49 MIN 18-33 FG'S (<font color="Red">CAREER HIGH MADE+ ATTEMPTS)</font> 2-3 3PT FG'S 10-13 FT 10 REBS 6 ASSIST 1 STEALS 3 TURNOVERS 48 POINTS (<font color="Red">CAREER HIGH)</font>
wow look at his numbers man wade is too athletic and with shaq he will surpise alot of people anyway awsome job wade it would be better if you would get the 50 but still awsome job!!
This is nice and all but he missed a lot of FGs and 3 FTs which would've won us the game in regulation. These stats mean absolutely nothing cuz we didn't get the win. This is what it's all about right here: screw stats
Not take anything away from Wade but when you score 48 points against a team like Philly and still can't get the win, that has to leave question marks about the lack of support from the rest of the cast. With the playoffs so near that could be abit of a worry.

None of the starters even took half of Wade's FGAs. Also you didn't mention that Wade had missed over 13 FGAs and 3 FTs before the end of regulation. If we would've executed on one of those wasted possesions by Wade or if he just lands just one of those 3 FTs we would've won. <font color="Red">In basketball you need to have balanced scoring.</font> One player trying to take on the scoring load will not win you games and this is what Wade was trying to do. It's why guys like T-Mac and AI can go off on huge scoring binges and still lose and it's why the Heat lost tonight. <font color="Red">I don't think it's Wade's fault only, infact the whole team and coaches need to take blame</font>, but to think "Wade's 48pts weren't enough for the win" is just ignorant because he accounted for almost half our possesions and wasted plenty of them in regulation. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting finnspidey:</div><div class="quote_post">If omly someone on that team could have stopped A.I., who played every minute of the game.</div>It's not AI that killed us, it was the fact that his whole team was knocking down jumpshots and FTs. We did our best to force them to jumpshots and not get points in the paint but they were knocking them down. Anybody will tell you that they prefer a team beat them with jumpshots rather than getting easy points in the paint. The Sixers played a near-perfect game and even got great treatment from the refs. The end result is a victory for them. They deserve it.
Wade played a great game and put the Heat on his back. IMO, the reason we lost was because of Shaq'. The Big Fella' did his job on the boards finishing with 12 rebounds but he only had 13 points. If Shaq' had put up his normal 25-30 points we would have won this game. But it will take a while for O'Neal to get his rhythm back after missing three games.

We don't need him to carry us, we need him to make plays for the rest of the team like Iverson was doing down the stretch. Again, he missed 14 FGAs and 3 FTs in regulation, that makes it much harder for the Heat to win.. Shaq didn't help neither but Shaq shouldn't have been playing extended minutes regardless because of his stomach virus. Blame SVG for that. In the past 3 games Wade has been "putting the Heat on his back" and it's resulted in a 3 game losing streak. We need the Wade that's gonna go out there and make plays for the team, not the Wade that's gonna go out there and shut everyone down from the offense. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Heat guard Damon Jones, who was supposed to receive the pass, complained to officials about the play and was hit with a technical foul. The ensuing free throw put the 76ers ahead by eight with 2:45 remaining. Van Gundy, who called the play "ridiculous," said Wade was supposed to be there along with Damon Jones. "The steal was huge," Van Gundy said. "There was no reason (for it). We're supposed to have both guards in the backcourt, but Dwyane wasn't there." Wade said he isn't sure what happened on the play. "I have no idea," he said. "I wasn't there."</div>

Wade scored alot of points and It wasn't enough. What is wrong about that? He tried to do too much. The Heat barely got more than a couple of points from their bench. That has to do with Wade's amount of shots and them not willing to help take the pressure off him. SVG Should of told his role players to play postive basketball but from what I saw that didn't happen. Although these kind of things can be learning experiences getting you ready for the playoffs or It could be the start of a trend.
Great game by Wade, I just have a few comments to drop here real quick. First, even though he missed 15 FGA, he still hit over half of them. That's still phenomenal shooting right there. And if it wasn't for his 48, you guys might not have even been in this game. And how do you know missing those free throws cost you the game? You never know what will happen on the other end of the court if he does make them. That's an ignorant statement right there if you ask me. If I were Heat fans, I wouldn't be criticizing Wade too much. He did what he had to do to win tonight. Why not blame your bench who only took a combined 8 FGA or something like that. Stop ripping on Wade cause he missed free throws that MIGHT have cost them the game. And if this was a win, you guys would be praising him instead of scrutinizing him. But since you lost, you're giving him unfair judgement when if it wasn't for him, you guys might not have made it to to OT period.
Well very good game by Wade, but they just couldn't come out with the win. They have lost quite a few games in a row, and let's hope the team can get it back together and finish the season strong. You don't want to go into the playoffs on a downward spiral.

Is it Wade's fault that the bench sucked last night???? He shot 33 times which is the most shot taken by Wade. You seriously gotta watch more heat games cuz Wade isn't selfish like you're trying put it. Go back to Sonics game cuz i think sonics have more trouble going into playoffs. BYE BYE

That doesn't mean that Wade is a selfish player, he just needs to get back to what makes him successful. Which is attacking the basket and drawing the defense, which will open up more options for the rest of the Heat role players. As for your last comment, why would I need to go back to Sonics games? I fail to see what you are getting at, am I suppose to be some kind of Sonics fan? Oh and please use the word because, the word "cuz" is not even a real word.

omg.. wade's fan starting to become like kobe's fan.. come on guys, i watched the game yesterday and i agree that wade is trying too much to carry the team on his back alone.. I agree when someone said the last thing miami heat need right now is for wade trying to be kobe.. I know that shaq didn't play up to the expectation yesterday but they still got a lot of weapon besides shaq. But i dont blame wade alone for the loss, all part of the teams should take blame on this loss including wade. And please dont bash me with something like "go watch the rockets" or "watch more heat game" cause rockets has nothing to do with this and i do occasionally watch heat game. After all, D-wade is one my favourite players.
The heat shot 6 of 13 in OT with two missed FTs for 15 points. During this time Wade shot 5 of 6 for 12 points; the rest of the Heat shot 1 of 7 for 3 points. In the 4th quarter he shot 6 of 9 and made 3 of 4 from the line for 15 points. His shooting performance wasn't this good through the first three quarters, but after 3 the Heat were up by 4 points. Unless I'm missing something the only fault I can find with Wade's shooting is that he missed the game winner at the end of regulation. I think that it's a bit disingenuous to say that the Heat would have won if he would have made one of his missed shots. When a game goes to OT you can say that about any player on either team who missed a shot or let the other team make an easy basket because of a defensive slipup. The most obvious reason that they lost was a rusty Shaq making an uncharacteristic 9 turnovers. Now looking at tonight's Heat/Celtics game, Wade's performance is clearly the biggest factor in the Heat's inevitable loss. At the half: 1 of 7 for 2 points with one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes. Ugly. Allnet: if someone writing "cuz" upsets you, then it must really piss you off to read or listen to NBA players being interviewed.
