He makes Manu look healthy tbh.
That said I see what you did there OP
IMO I'd have to say no tbh. He's been riddled with injuries this season, and he couldn't even get close to scoring 20 for the few games that he came back for (until...surprise surprise!...another injury).
I think it's pretty obvious that he's going to retire after next season when his contract is up. The 3 year/$40 million contract was a lifetime achievement award contract, after all. There's no way the Heat F.O. will give him 2 lifetime achievement award contracts, and no other team in the league wants a TOSB. He's not a pure shooter like Steve Nash, and his passing abilities will be rendered useless once the league figures out that Wade's no longer a scoring threat, so he doesn't really have any skills that will allow him to stay in the league beyond the age of 35.
He can't explode at the rim with his "toothpick" ankles (lest he wants another stress fracture). His shot is pretty much gone after his hand surgery (you can tell by the way his free throws clanked off the rim to the left and right). If he plays any more than 15 minutes a game, he'll be too tired to make a 3 point shot, so that's pretty much gone. By Wade's own admission, this is without question LeBron James's team now, so even if you disagreed with everything so far, Wade won't be taking 15-20 shots per game because he's no longer the first option (or second option...or third option IMO).
Taking into account the fact that Wade will most likely have another season ending injury next year, and taking into account the fact that it takes him 3 or 4 months to warm up and get in a good rhythm (which he doesn't have this season), I think it's a safe bet to say he'll never score 20 again.
So what do you think spurstalk, will Dwyane Wade ever score 20 points again?

Hoping this is reverse jinx for the next series...
against Manu he will tbh.
Pop will have Gary Neal guard him, and he'll go for 40pts in a quarter... you heard it here first...
All the time put into that post..Wow..
If ya'll don't get it, someone made a post upstairs with this question regarding Manu
Yeah but on the other end, Neal will shoot uncontested shots from near half court with 20 seconds still on the shot clock.
dude can still score 20pts in any given game if he wants. but like you said, it's lebron's team now and wade has generously accepted a minor role on this team. and i don't think his assists will be gone just because he's no longer as much an offensive threat as he once was. he & bron still have the chemistry between each other, bron will reward him with assists as long as he can still pass the ball
Now now, no need to be hostileI can tell this is a tender subject for you. We all have to come to grips with the basketball mortality of our favorite players at some point.
I've done nothing more than talk about thein the room tbh. It's only natural to think that Dwyane Wade's in the twilight of his career (second to last season in the NBA? I'd say he's in the twilight of his career) isn't going to put up the same numbers that he did 5 years ago.
Alright man we'll see. I give you guys full permission to roast the out of me and bump this thread the day Wade scores 20 again.
I have a feeling it's going to be later, rather than sooner, though (possibly never tbh).
Bump.
34 minutes 3/11 FG 10 points.
manufan10 was right about that Wade.
one point to go!
21 points for Wade
He also scored 20 in an efficient 35 minutes. I have no problem giving that tired old bag props when he deserves it.
Although, it remains to be seen if Wade can pull off this magical feat again
Only time will tell, and I will bump this thread with ferocity and gusto if he puts up any more TOSB-esque sub-20 games...
You're a good loser tbh. Props.He also scored 20 in an efficient 35 minutes. I have no problem giving that tired old bag props when he deserves it.

No, clearly he will never surpass 20 points ever again.
Wade must been on some good meds last nite.
Question should be will Manu ever be a factor in a NBA game again.
