Heat beat the Raptors...musta been nice for Bosh
Lebron had 20 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in 23 minutesamazing shit
You can't win an NBA title without someone eventually saying, "I got this" and everyone else agreeing, "You're right, you got this." Miami isn't there yet.I thought LeBron would make that sacrifice, but upon further review, Wade needs to reinvent himself as the team's defensive stopper, facilitator, emotional leader and occasional closer (much like Kobe did on the 2008 Dream Team). Why? Because LeBron is better than him. In Boston, I was praying to myself, "I hope LeBron doesn't decide to take over." Wade was an afterthought. And yeah, he struggled that game ... but I know what I saw, and I know how I felt. The only guy on the court who could stop LeBron on Tuesday night was Dwyane Wade.Maybe every Heat member slowly realized during the preseason, "Good God, LeBron is MUCH better than Dwyane. What do we do? How do we handle this? Do we wait for Dwyane to admit it? Do we ... wait, what do we do???"Maybe Wade can feel it. Maybe his competitive juices are kicking in. No, no, we're equals. He's not better than me. We're equally good. Look, I'll show you. Maybe it's just been the elephant in the room for six weeks. Maybe deep down, everyone knows the Heat can't take off until Wade has his "You can be chairman and CEO, I'll be president and COO" moment. It goes beyond who gets to take the last shot. It's about the dynamics of basketball. It's about someone emerging as the emotional leader, the spine of the team, the guy who says over and over again, "I got this." And you can't keep saying that if you're looking over your shoulder worrying that someone else is saying the same thing. It's like a fly ball in the outfield. Eventually, someone has to call it.The titles can't happen until Wade has his Frank Wells moment. And only then. Might happen this season, might happen next season, but it will happen. Even if Wade doesn't want to admit it yet.
lost on offense? thats funny considering the guy may be the best all around statistical player in the NBA

LOL
What a joke...Wade is averaging more points than LeBron on less attempts. Aside from the 1st game, LeBron has clearly looked lost on offense compared to Wade.

LOLhe cant handle a real offense...yet he's got a career average of 27 PPG and 7 assists per game??I fail to see how he could not handle Mike Brown's system (let alone Miami's...which he'll def get down)

Stop sippin' that haterade nigga, hatin' LeBron ain't hip no more, it's mainstream now.

If the PG situation ain't fixed by the trade deadline, look for the heat to make a trade for a PG. but i think once Mario Chalmers ankle gets fully healed, he'll be the Defensive minded - 3 Pt Spacer the Heat need at the 1. Teams just crowd the paint when carlos arroyo is in there, they're backing out a bit now that big Z is starting with that automatic mid range jumper hes done over his career. Thankfully joel anthony is now out of there hes def not a starter in the nbaCan't wait til Mike Miller comes back hes the Heats Version of Lamar Odom.. Ball Handler, can drive and lights out from beyond the 3. good rebounder at 6'8 but again like a brand new fish in your aquarium has to get acclimated again. Our crunch time line up: pg - Lebronsg - D wade (will guard opposing pgs)sf - Millerpf - Bosh C - Big Z/Jamaal Magloire Lakers cant see that
