I like that somebody spent a lot of time on it but mis-spelled Wade's name
Wow...so racially hateful...
and Dirk isn't soft...
Dirk

8 seasons 603 sames/579 started including the Seattle game this year where his ankle was rolled by Wilcox. Dirk was questionable and returned to play 2 days later to play 26 minutes and have 20/12/4.
Shove that "soft" back up your ass.
Wade will be back next week and score 50.
i got it right the first time. guaranteed he'd be out for a long time had he sustained this type of injury. don't bull me.
Well, it's easy to stay healthy and uninjured when the refs blow the whistle for breathing on you...
Dawg u is a u obviously never had a dslocated shoulder cuz your fat ass is soo busy on the damn computer you probally never played sports in your lifeCause he is a pussy.
I like that somebody spent a lot of time on it but mis-spelled Wade's namelol I missed that... funny
A dislocated shoulder would put ANYBODY out for a long time...
Anybody that questions Dirk's toughness is just a hater...
You idiot. Who wouldn't be out with a dislocated shoulder?
But you called Dirk "soft". He's returned from injuries that would have made others miss time.
And Melmart - nothing to say to you. I'll point to a game last week where he shot 0 Fts. I forget, but does Duncan shoot FTs, too?
goddamnit, ponky, get off my ing already. you sure spend a whole lotta time going through each and every single one of my posts, i suppose i'm supposed to be flattered?
oh and nice try, but i hated lebron for some time now. i didn't wait till he crushed my team in the playoffs to start like you mav fans.
We're not talking about Duncan, are we? He played an entire season with Plantar Fasciitis, and won a championship on two gimp ankles. I hardly think that qualifies him as soft.
Sure sounded like you had something to say to me, though.
Right. And we weren't talking about free throws either, were we?
To call Nowitzki or Duncan soft is stupid...both are hall of famers.

If the New Jersey Nets were hoping to get a boost at the trade deadline, they sure got it. The twist is that, after weeks of rumors involving potential Nets deals, this boost had nothing to do with their own deal-making.
Instead, the Nets' playoffs hopes are vastly improved today because of the demise of one of their rivals, Miami, thanks to Dwyane Wade's dislocated shoulder and the impending resignation of coach Pat Riley. (OK, I'm kidding on that last part. But have you ever seen somebody's karma account evened in such dramatic fashion? Somewhere, Stan Van Gundy is laughing his mustache off.)
As things stand today, the Heat are 26-27 and in possession of the eighth seed in the East, but without Wade it's hard to imagine that situation remaining the same for long. The Heat are 1-6 when Wade hasn't played this season, with all six losses being by double figures.
And in the other 46 games, it's only been the brilliance of the league's top-rated player that has kept the team's head above water. As I've been pointing out since the third week of the season, Wade's supporting cast has been horrid.
Yes, Shaquille O'Neal is back, but this isn't the Shaq of old. Minus their lone superstar (sorry, Shaq), it's tough to imagine the Heat winning more than a third of their games -- and that may be generous, considering they were barely over .500 even when Wade played.
Estimates of Wade's absence seem to be running between four and six weeks, which based on Miami's upcoming schedule will knock him out for between 13 and 20 games. If it's the shorter of those estimates, the Heat might be able to survive the blow. Say Miami guts out a couple tough wins and manages to go 4-9 without Wade, dropping it to 30-36. The Heat could still make up ground in the final 16 games, and with a fairly light closing schedule the Heat might still get back to the 40 or so wins they'd probably need to get a playoff spot.
But if he's out six weeks, forget it. Then we're talking about 20 games, and if the Heat go 6-14 in that stretch (which might be optimistic) they'll be 32-41 by the time Wade gets back, with only nine games left to repair their record. Meanwhile, with New Jersey at 25-30 this morning and expecting Richard Jefferson back in early March, it stands to reason the Nets will end up around the 40-win mark themselves. So unless the Heat ran the table when Wade came back, they'd be looking at lotteryville.
Of course, New Jersey isn't the only beneficiary of Miami's misfortune. The Knicks and Magic also have brightened their outlooks. Orlando is just 14-24 since its torrid start and has fallen below .500, just percentage points ahead of Miami in the current playoff pecking order. With the Magic's puzzling decision to stand pat at the trade deadline, the Wade injury may be what they needed to get into the postseason. And unbelievably, the Knicks aren't out of it either. New York is only 24-31 after last night's inexcusable mail-in against Philadelphia, but have a favorable schedule and own the head-to-head tie-breaker against the Magic.
Finally, Wade's injury also puts us one step closer to what would be an unbelievable development -- a defending champion returning the same roster intact, and ending up in the lottery. Some times truth is stranger than fiction.
do you think we will lose 66% of our games without Wade?
Yes. More like 80%.
What do they have left, 29 games? I see the Heat pulling together and winning between 13-17 games. It's hard to see them going 9-20 or 10-19.
it's weird that i only realized last week how his name was really spelled...what's weirder is that anytime you misspell something on google, like a famous person's name, it will ask you whether you are looking for such and such person, like "did you mean: insert name?"
when you type in dwayne wade, it just takes you to dwyane wade, doesn't ask you if you accidentally misspelled it...i don't think i've ever seen this automated correction with google before
If the Heat were in the West...they would be toast...since they are in the East....they can still make the playoffs...if they can hang in until Wade gets back..who knows?
try and impress me and lose 100%
Sucks that they now have a tailor-made excuse for not repeating this year.
