Yeah, Spo is still a student coach in my eyes. He needs to improve his in-game coaching/ decision-making because its so non-existent
with all of his injuries and rapidly deteriorating body, i could see wade being effective in a manu-type role where he wouldn't start games but still get his 25-30 minutes off the bench and provide energy, ball-handling, scoring and playmaking for the 2nd unit
he's had his entire career to be "the man" and be in the spotlight, now's the time to focus on what's best for the team and squeeze as many years out of your knees as possible

that play where he hit his knee didn't even look that bad considering he has padding on his knees. are his knees THAT bad? or is he just that old
Wade must have a really strong personality because it seems like both Spo and Bron are a little intimidated by him. It was like Spo had to run a play for Wade when he came back in the game to make up for having him on the bench. Riley needs to step in and let Spo know that this shyt will be unacceptable in game 7.

To coin a phrase from the homie RodimusPrime *What Up Young!!*....Spo is notorious for hero coaching and it gets pretty annoying.
So I'm the inky person that seen Miller ready to give up the ghost out there.
When they called that timeout he just laid on the court like he was about to pass out.

All of you are exaggerating. Wade came back in the game and didn't even tried to shoot the ball. Just like Lebron, he hesistate too many times to shoot. He gave the ball to Lebron to take over. I think the fadeaway was a good shot too it just happen it didn't go through the net. Wade only attempted like two shots in the few minutes of the 4th...

I'm not blaming Wade because in effect, he and Bron are the same player this series. It's just not working with them together.
Bron was +18 without him last night and -1 with him.

Both of them could have perform well together if they trust their shots. Wade had so many opportunities to hit mid- range jumpers on top of the key. Lebron look to shook to get into the lane and attack. He will get into the lane and then dribble back out onto the perimeter and waste more than 20 seconds of the shot block
They can play together and dominate the game. They just need to play with more confidence in themselves and their skills..
It's the Wade-Bron dynamic.
Its really not normal that these 2 superstar, #1 option type players are playing together and they still have on the court issues..
Its always there.
On the real, these 2 really shouldn't be playing together.

Two points before people take this too far.
1. NYC already pointed out that it seems to be a problem in THIS series. It's likely a problem because the Spurs have figured out how to deal with Bron and Wade on the floor, especially since BOTH HAVE NO JUMP SHOT THIS SERIES.
2. Wade and Lebron work just fine when they are (a) playing actively and getting steals and transition points and (b) both are healthy. Wade looks like shyt most games, but he was balling out of his mind back from jan - march.
If Wade takes another fukking fadeaway in crunch time, I will go to yougov and start a petition to have him banned from the country.

You right when they run the pick and roll or when they are constantly moving it works but Wade pouts sometimes about not bein the #1 option anymore. You could see it on the court with his body language and the shyt he said in the press conference bout wantin more shots.

I don't think I've screamed at a coach through my TV as much as I did Spo last night.
WHY don't they stay running Pick and Rolls through Lebron is beyond me.
I mean...Mike Miller had a drive to the basket for a layup last night from that set.
Mike Miller!!!

Wade and Lebron Pick and Roll is devastating.
