Wade is the last person to blame for tonight. He did his best to will this team to victory

Don't take everything critical I say of Wade as " blaming him" like it or not, its ok to criticize even the best of players... even on their best of nights. no one is perfect

I dont think its even if we get hot. Its if Charlotte goes cold. They shot crazy from 3 tonight

Nope not sure if you remember but I mentioned if he started that lineup in the 4th (because he used it at the start of the 2nd), we were going to lose the game.

Up 6 going to the 4th and we start the quarter with that shitty lineup in game 5 of the playoffs. Scored 2 points in that period. If Wade or Hassan is out there, we likely would have increased our 3rd quarter lead within those first 5 minutes as Charlotte was struggling on offense

Was being sarcastic. He was saving WHITESIDE and Wade for game 6!!

Na I knew you were. Found it funny that I saw this coming 2 hours ago in the 2nd quarter

 

[bksballer89]

So this is not a foul

Shot 50 percent overall but less than 40 percent. Defense was not the problem. They shoot 3s well. They were bound to shoot and even their average. We lost games 4 and 5 because of offensive execution in the half court. An area where we are seriously challenged.

 

[Andresrenee]

The refs are in our heads. Need to move on and play our game. We have wasted a great series from Deng and good games from Dragic and Wade at home because we can't run plays for players other than Johnson and Wade down the stretch.

I do this would happen. Its why we need Bosh. The fast pace is fine for the regular season but when the game slows down, we need a guy like Bosh to help the halfcourt offense

When you get hit on the final possession, it's going to fuck up your head

Should not have come down to that. Our plays down the stretch in Charlotte and tonight were awful. You can't say otherwise. Our highest percentage player, WHITESIDE sits doing nothing on the baseline. Can't believe we did not see Gerald Green early in the 4th for a few minutes to get some offense. Been saying it all year, Spolestra needs an offensive assistant to help him. Charlotte will likely crush is Friday.

I hear you but at the end of the day plays like that is exactly why this team would settle for 3's. Your superstar clearly gets whacked across the arm and absolutely nothing is called

We had three possessions in the last minute and probably 5 possessions on last 2 minutes and all we could do is get a drive by Wade going against three guys where we leave it up to the refs. Sorry that is not winning basketball unless circa 2006 with a young Wade.

 

[PPhan]

To be fair to Spo, he had D-Wade and a bunch of mediocre players. The fact that he got them the 5th seed in the 2 seasons prior to Lebron was impressive enough

Wade was the reason for that tho. Dude was flat out unguardable.

That being said, I'm still not giving up on this team yet. Charlotte isn't Cleveland, we can still steal one in their home court.

A foul is a foul. He clearly not slapped across the forearm. A 8 year old could make that call. These are supposed to be professionals and they missed an obvious foul call in a huge playoffs game.

Same here. I got some faith in us winning on Friday night. We could do it. He does need to extend minutes. This 32 minutes garbage for Hassan and Wade like its a game in Mid March isn't going to cut it

I could understand Wade on a 2-0, or even 2-1 series lead, but a young guy like Whiteside should be getting big boys minutes every game. I'm glad I'm not the only one not giving up.

On another note, that last non call foul on Wade would probably mean free throws had it been Jeremy Lin.

No doubt and for Kemba as well

 

[avalon2423]

I hope we win friday but i dont see it. Its going to be a blowout.

 

[avalon2423]

The refs should be fined for that no call tho. If there is no accountability for refs then these calls will continue to happen

They review the calls during the last 5 minutes. Can't blame refs for the fourth quarter lineup, the five playcalls during the last two minutes, the decision to not insert Dragic earlier and yes poor shooting by Drafic, Deng and Winslow but you can blame our coach not getting sets or plays for WHITESIDE or Johnson earlier.
