Wade's poor game was because of injury

[birdwatcher]

Everybody is injured including 2 of our top guys. Hell if you throw in JO, Wilcox and Green it's a freaking miracle that we could actually get to the ECFs or Finals.

Sorry, not buying it. Wade was still his usual smooth and quick self, he was just missing. And when things aren't going your way no matter what you do, that tends to sap the energy out of you mentally, which translates to a seeming lack of physical energy.

If he had done well he'd been a hero but he did not and is covering up a zero with excuses.

Man up, Wade!

Pressure bursts pipes!

I dont't think Wade's usual self only attempts 2 shots at the rim in a game, at least without drawing a ton of foul shots in lieu of FGA.

I actually saw him completely follow through on 3 jump shots last night.  He's usually launching himself flailing after those shots and launching himself into the spectators after going to the basket.  I think Wade has gotten so used to being off balance that when he shows proper form it's probably not good.

I think the telltale sign that he's not feeling good is that he's not flailing and flopping all over the floor after every shot.

That said...I think they miss Bosh more than they'd miss Wade.

It didn't look like he was injured much when he tackled that Pacer player off of a fast break.

This is the difference between Paul and someone like Wade what a baby

I thought the difference was that Paul Pierce uses a wheelchair for a knee injury, while Dwayne Wade uses one for a shoulder injury.
