That isn't who Wade is during the regular season anymore.....those games and his "work schedule" set by the Heat are to prepare and manage his knee problems so physically he's ready for these playoffs. However whenever he's been in the playoffs aside from last year when he was limping around he's as good as ever. What Wade has lost in his step he's gained with an increased knowledge of the game.jmcc5400 said:I don't disagree HRB, but I had thought that Wade had lost a step this year. The last couple of games have been vintage from him and he's looked, to my eyes, more explosive than at other points this season. That's what I meant by "anomalous." If that's who he still is, then Miami will be difficult to beat.
I don't expect him to go for 40 every night or shoot 75% from the field.....but I do expect him to always be one of the best players on the floor for the rest of these playoffs. I also expect him to have an off night like all players do now and then.
