Gotta give respect where its due

[HighRoller]

All I have been reading on the forum is Miami will get swept...They have no business being here...Their not good...

Well I guess 17 in a row @ home and no losses since March 2 in the American Airlines Arena says your all wrong.

Im not saying they will win this series but come on show some respect for the 4 seed who had the 2nd best record in the NBA for the 2H of the season and has not lost at home for 10 weeks.

:shrug:

P.S. Please next someone tell me Dwyane Wade is not a superstar in the making...

 

[MrChristo]

Gotta agree, HR.

I was on Indi today, but Miami showed real grit (and talent!) pulling that one out...esp. when they got behind midway in the last.

Dwayne Wade is a HUGELY important factor!!
Not sure of exact numbers, but Heat's winning % with him in the side, compared to the games he missed is astounding!!

Is hard to believe they are still being under-rated. I know I fell for the sucker punch.

Good luck to them for the rest of the way.

That feed coming down the middle of the lane with 5 mins to go to Wade for the slam was the exclamation point! But what about Reggie hitting the trey from the corner? Great game.

I love Pat Riley

I'll give them there props. gritty performance tonight by the young ones. but wednesday is a different day and I think we will see a more focused pacers on the defensive end come wednesday and a different outcome.


by the way can someone please stuff a sock in the dam announcer who does the micheal buffer imitation after every timeout.

Miami discover how to exploit the Indiana weak part, and that is Tinsley and Foster (no Harrington), the PG of the Pacers is not good enough to contain anybody away from home, well, maybe some bad PG's in the league.

 

[neverteaseit]

don't think tinsley is supposed to contain anyone. indiana's lack of rotation and effort on the defensive end was not there late. it will change come wednesday. miami's short bench and fatigue will set in. allen will not have a huge game again. pacers will clamp the vice on the defensive end come wednesday.

Sorry but Dwayne Wade won't be a super star in the league. He will be a very solid player who will make a handful of All-Star teams but I don't see him in the same league as Carmelo or Lebron. I think the media has almost a reverse bias against James and Anthony when it comes to Wade. It has become popular to say don't forget about Dwayne wade. He is very good but nothing about him says super star. A lot about him says very good player though. I think Chris Bosh will end up being better than Wade in a few years.

This could be the funniest thing ever posted. Did you watch any NBA this year? Are all of your posts this insane? I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion but to call someone who is the 4th best rookie "The best rookie easily" makes me wonder if you and Ray Charles have been breaking down film.

 

[OnaJ]

And Ksyas, lay off the Corona and Jose Cuervo is you also think he is "easily the best NBA rookie". Is it safe to assume Najera is the best Dallas Mav in your eyes too?

nope don't watch the nba at all...thats why my halftime plays suck

i don't know what i'm doing

I still think the same, the problem is that you love JOrdan over Bird, just because Jordan was very explosive, but Bird was a finest player with touch and doing what the team needs, just like Dwayne, no ego in this man!!

About Najera, he is the best defensive player of the Mavs and that's it; you cannot say he is the best on mavs like you cannot say Lebron or melo could be the best in the mavs team, just a lot of good players in that team. The only thing I really beleive is if Najera was in another team with a big role on defense, he can do it like Artes and Bowen or better, just to much nutts for the league on Najera!

by the way, I love Melo and i hate the new baby Jordan Lebron; I respect Dwayne just because he is a big part of the success of Miami so far, maybe not a super success but is a big one!

And with all respect,you must leave your necessity of recognition!

I know a lot of bettors who do well that can't name a full roster. How can you say without laughing that Dwayne Wade is easily the best rookie. I am still laughing now so help! The guy is the 4th best rookie plain and simple. What does he do better than the 3 in front of him?

i'm not gonna argue with what i said, i've seen the way you argue with other members and it's just gonna be an uphill battle...gl to you today

 

[OnaJ]

Ksyas if you respect Wade for being a part of Miami's success then you would also have to have the same if not more respect for Lebron who took a team and doubled their win total from last season. Just because you hate Lebron as you said doesn't mean that he is not much better than Wade. Who you like better or who you prefer is much different than who is better. This is a very good rookie class so that is why we are having this conversation but I am still wondering what wade does that is any better than Lebron James or Carmello Anthony

You said that Wade is easily the best rookie and you aren't willing to say why? Who is arguing? Is it arguing because you are not willing to say why you think he is better? Or are you just trying to be different than the pack? You should welcome a good debate. Anyone who said what you said would have to have good reason for it. SO? I welcome good debate and when someone makes a good point I am first in line to say so and give them credit. Your just making a remark that you aren't willing to back up is all. I think Wade is really good. I saw him twice in person here in Chicago when they played Depaul. I have also seen a lot of Bulls games and James is head and shoulders above the rest with Anthony and Bosh 2nd and 3rd

 

[OnaJ]

Just so you guys know, I have an open mind in all discussions. Everyone has their opinions and those are respected. I just can't believe that Mjalam will say something like that and then not put anything behind it.

Highroller, you have a very nice young talent in Dwayne Wade and congrats to your Heat for a nice season they really improved a lot. The future is good for them!
