What a pitiful group of fans. That whole state deserves ZERO franchises.

That is pathetic, second hand embarrassment.

This is partially the reason I think he comes back to Cleveland other than Wade and Bosh being garbage.

Despite no talent around him and a fan base who doesn't attend games, the Heat will be there at the end winning ring #3 in-front of a packed house.

Wade has about a 37 year old NBA body. Hard to fully trust Bosh.

Doesn't matter how old his NBA body is, last year he averaged 20,5,5 and shot 51% from the field. Put Bosh on a team where he is the number one option and he would average 24 and 10. That statement is just comical.

2013 playoffs 15.9 ppg, 4.8 rb, 4.6 ast......definitely Wade is young at heart

I guess I was wrong about Bosh.

He put up a monstrous 12 pts and 7 rb in last year's playoffs.

Not to mention he's playing less than 30 min a game this game.

He's a distant third option. Like I said, as a first option he would be around 24 and 10 a night.

So he averaged 16,5 and 5 after averaging 20,5 and 5 and shooting a career high from the field, but he's garbage? It was a horrible point no matter how you skew it.

Fine....DWade and Bosh COMBINED for 28 ppg, 12 rb and 7 asst during their stellar playoff run. No wonder LeBron won a title.....a little surprised Wade or Bosh didn't take the Finals MVP though....LeBron only won it because the media sucks his ****.

Wade went 26-6-5 his first year with LeBron and then went 25-7-4 in the playoffs.

He has steadily declined since then and is a shell of his former self.

Bosh in his last 3 years of playoffs with Heat

2011 19/9
2012 14/8
2013 12/7

1 time in his career did he JUST go for 24 and 10.....and his numbers are steadily declining. You are the only one skewing anything.

12 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds for MCW. 27 for Evan Turner, 25/12 for Spencer Hawes.

I'm actually starting to think the combo of Hawes and Noel next year is going to be pretty freaking strong for Philly as Hawes can play some 4.

If they grab a great scoring wing (if they could somehow get Parker) or another great guard (Smart), watch out.

They aren't reliant on him anymore, if he were the first option he would still put up those numbers. I know he is on the decline but garbage is soo far off it's not even funny. If he's garbage there are like 10 guys in the league who are decent.

Turner is averaging like 23 a game, they have a scoring wing.

Wade is definitely trash. I've never liked his game.

I was never a huge fan of his game either but dude is one of the top players in the league. To say he is trash or garbage is so inaccurate it's comical.

He's not going to be around and he's NOT a pure scorer. IMO, they will try to deal him and address this in the draft. They also are going to get NO's pick, which isn't going to be top 3. They need a go-to scorer. Maybe not a great player, but an all-star caliber SF.

For instance, if they could get James Young or Rodney Hood, they could really make a splash in free agency. They only have 23M committed to the cap next year, and that includes Turner in his option year. They will have a great expiring contract in Jason Richardson and will probably want to re-sign Spencer Hawes.

Wonder if they might make a play for LaMarcus Aldridge, who could get a max deal, or an older guy like Zach Randolph. Either way, they should be contending in the hap-hazard East as soon as next year.

Why can't Turner be an All star? He's averaging 22, 7 and 4 right now and is being efficient too shooting 47% from the field. How much better do you want? lol He's not a pure shooter but he is definitely a scorer, plus he has an all around game.
