As for as his shots, Wade is taking some good one just not falling - a little soft on one or two maybe. but his turnover issues are just careless mistakes and lack of ball security. We need to get him out of there now , no matter what - so he can be ready for tomorrow because if this is how he plays the rest of this game - it will carry into the next one tomorrow - assuming he doesnt decide to sit it out

Wade is my all time favorite NBA player. We did the right thing with the two year contact for him. I hope tonight is just a bad game... but he is clearly in decline. We probably overpaid him this year and next. But in 2 years we may have some hard decisions to make with him.

Maybe he can help ease the situation by accepting a lesser role at that point.

Wade just having a bad night.

He looked just fine in his last 3 games (2 preseason and the home opener), he's getting good looks but just isn't converting.

10 assist for Wade tonight.....that stat should not be overlooked

It shouldn't, but in general, he hasn't been very good.

I actually believe this roster can function quite well without Wade in most situations.

Just looked at Wade's shot chart.

A lot of those shots were in the paint right under the rim.....He will make those on most nights

You are correct - it shouldnt be overlooked. but difficult not to with 5 turnovers to go along with it

 

[bksballer89]

It's one game. He's going to have bad games like the others.

If he's getting 14-16 shots per game, he will avg 20 or 21 PPG this year.

He was 8/16 which is more like Wade in game 1.

Let's not overreact to one game.

Come back to me in 2 months and we can evaluate his numbers

 

[Paolo305613]

The road to “ I’m coming home” to “ I’m leaving home, again” is now in favor of the Heat at 2-0 vs 1-1

NO! LETS OVERREACT! Im kidding! maybe...

Yeah the turnovers are annoying but I'm not going to go too crazy over his rough shooting night. He got great looks but just missed them.....it happens

Sometimes shots will not fall. 10 assists is great but the turnovers and poor defense will hurt us. Glad we got off to a 2-0 start. Tomorrow versus Raptors will be interesting. BOSH averaging 28 and 11.5.

My biggest issue with Wades performance tonight was him only attempting 3 FTs.

His shot wasn't falling. He's competing again inexperienced players for the most part.

He should get to the line for 8+ shots in that situation.

I agree with that.....Once we're all not going crazy over a bad shooting game, I think we are all on the same page

 

[bksballer89]

Looking forward to tomorrow's game for sure.

Matter of fact I'm looking forward to our next 3 games.

VS TOR
VS HOU
@ Charlotte

If we go 2-1 or 3-0 I would be very impressed.

First impressions of Charlotte is not different than last year.....Very good defense but extremely shaky offense.

[Paolo305613]

35 points from the bench was very helpful
