Wade was pretty much a non factor. If no early foul trouble Green should shut him down in game 4 where all that will be left of Wade is a mysterious limp.
about Wade's dribble or maybe his crossover. They attacked him with Green IMMEDIATELY, and it paid off in spades. Green isn't normally know for steals, but tonight, he was Jesse James and Wade was The Bank.

Yeah Green was amazing on D tonight. It's like he knew every single move Wade was going to make before he even made it..
I hope he keeps it up.
Green has been tightening the defensive screws on Wade as the series has progressed and I have greatly enjoyed seeing Dwayne's consternation as his favorite moves get taken away one by one
Wade is a glorified role player, tbh, people don't recognize it because they hate Lebron
He has only been effective in this series when he's been matched up against bench defenders..
Dwayne Wade is a lot better than current Manu, stop it.
Our best defensive players play the positions Wade, LeBron, and Bosh play, while our best two offensive players plays the positions they're weakest at defensively. That's why they tend to struggle with us.
We were basically designed to beat teams like Miami before they even came together, then drafted Leonard to counter Durant and LeBron.
LeBron has plenty of help. Miami is much better than Cleveland was.
Perhaps better. Not "a lot" better.
So you wouldn't rather have Wade than Ginobili if the pricetag was the same?
We would probably have 8 les if we had Wade the last 3 years and this year. LeBron would still have 0 if he had Manu instead.
They deny Heat's wing pass. The defended the screens for Lebron real well in this game.
x 100000000000000000
Most probably because of the system and being less turnover prone.
Wade was beyond awful in last year's playoffs..statistically, the Heat were worse when he was on the floor..he averaged 16 PPG on an atrocious 49% TS in last year's playoffs..
Last year's Wade was probably one of the 4-5 worst #2 options for a le team in history..he was bad by any standard or metric you can choose, tbh..
This year, the Heat played against one of the tiest conferences of all-time, and Wade still has average on/off metrics..his impact on the Heat is very limited, the numbers agree..now that he's playing against legit compe ion, he looks terrible again, unless he's being guarded by the Spurs' bench players..
Ginobili has been much, much better than Wade in the playoffs, despite better opposing compe ion..not sure if it's even arguable, tbh..
49% is only slightly below average, and 16 PPG isn't bad at all. That would nearly lead the Spurs, lol. What is your point?
Manu was trash in the Finals last year outside of one and a half games.
Manu used to be great and is playing okay right now, but Wade is and always was better.
49% True Shooting is actually awful
His team was worse when he was on the floor throughout the playoffs..
Manu was terrible last year, I didn't argue that, but he has been much better than Wade this year..
My point about Wade is that he has been a glorified role player since last year, where he had a terrible playoffs, and while he's been better this year, he no longer has a significant impact on a game, especially when being defended by good defensive players..
And Wade can't shoot 3s and over-dribbles, not sure how he would fit in the Spurs system, at all..his style of play is antiquated in today's NBA..
All things equal, gimme Manu.
At least when Manu's shot is off he is able to contribute in more ways than Wade.
I don't like Wade's game nowadays. Ginobili can still make better wow plays and is a better shooter. Granted, the Spurs' supporting cast is much better than the Heat's so we don't know how Wade would be on the Spurs. But I wouldn't want to find out.
You're so re ed.
Incorrect.
Sit your ass down.
Per 36 minutes stats for both (Wade plays 9 minutes more per game)
Wade-19.2 pts, 4.2 rebs., 4.3 asts., 1.5 stls., 51.5%, 38.1% 3pt, 81.4% FT +1 Net Rtg 20.3 P.E.R
Ginobili-21 pts, 4.8 rebs., 6.3 asts., 2.5 stls., 43.0%, 38.3% 3pt, 86.9% FT +11 Net Rtg, 21.5 P.E.R
I may be looking at it through Spurs colored glasses but I'd take Ginobili and its not even close. When he is on his ability to create for himself and others is can take over games. Wade is generally fine when he shares the floor with Lebron but its a completely different story when he has to carry the offense. Wade isn't a very good defender while Ginobili at 36 is clearly still better than him.
Green will always have a problem with Wade's all-time favourite move - the flopGreen has been tightening the defensive screws on Wade as the series has progressed and I have greatly enjoyed seeing Dwayne's consternation as his favorite moves get taken away one by one
Removing all variables? I'd take Manu, tbh.
The Heat play that ball hawking defense to generate points in transition. Danny and Kawhi were guilty of being hesitant when they received the ball. This allowed the Heat to key in on the ball and clog the passing lanes, thus disrupting the flow of the Spurs offense. The adjustment was simple. Drive, shoot or pass immediately once you get the ball. This caught the Heat completely off guard as this is out of character for the two young guns. It was a total blitz. With the ball continuously in motion either by pass or drive the Heat couldn't clog the lanes as they are used to. It also caused really bad rotations and forced a lot of fouls. If the Spurs don't let the Heat key in on the passing lanes, this series will be tough for Miami to pull off.
Go Spurs Go!!!
