Heat: Wade calling out Chalmers...

[Kidd K]

I see, good point. But if you're gonna name a leader on that squad, it was Zo imho.

Shaq already had the rings though, but definitely Zo was a major leader for them as well. Great guys make good leaders. Zo is basically the anti-Wade.

[Kidd K]

and yet you'd rather have him than ginobili

We have multiple leaders already, so it isn't a role he needs to fill.

heat only wins when his playin above tosb level, i assume his pulling an enrique throwing games if his not gettin the attention he seeks

Glad you're not the gm

Chalmers sucked but to be scapegoating him like this is re ed.

[LkrFan]

They seem to be leaving Rashard open too much. He's got a real slow release, about as slow as LkrFan's release when he tosses a chimichanga into the fryer. They can close out on him quicker.

Allen/Haslem/Battier are each still capable of having one huge game to help the Heat win. That may be all they need, tbh.

The Heat always find a way to step up when they need to. Don't count them out yet. Obviously, next season they'll need better/younger role players. But they can still get the job done this year. It ain't over yet.

Ray Allen can, sure, he's still a good offensive player..

Haslem and Battier are completely finished..

Battier was finished offensively last year also and then proceeded to whoop our ass in games 6 & 7, don't count him out, same with Chalmers.

[Malik Hairston]

The problem for these players is that even when they're making 3s, they're useless on the other end.. Battier can't defend anymore, Allen hasn't been able to defend in years, etc..it's like having a bunch of Belinellis on the court..

Miami can still win, of course, but it would be on Lebron's back on defense and spoon-feeding shooters on offense..

[D-Wade]

And there's your issue. Wade is and always was a terrible leader. Very talented no doubt, but he is an awful leader. Did nothing without Shaq because Shaq led that team, did nothing even with LeBron until he stopped trying to be leader and just let LeBron do it.

Just listen to his press conferences. Rarely takes responsibility, has plenty of blame to pass around, and is constantly insulting other players. He is a bag and that does not translate into leadership ability.

Listen to press conferences from 2011 to the present I'm sure you'd get that impression. The bandwagon for Heat fans and Haters alike started when these dudes teamed up. But I've been a Wade fan since he came into the league and he didn't used to be this way.

And while he was surrounded by a great group of vets, he was for sure the leader of that 06 squad. Everyone needs a mentor, but Wade took what Shaq, the Glove and Zo imparted and in ran with it. Wade is one of the few all timers who showed no growing pains. His transition from college to pro was as seamless as you can get. As a rook in the playoffs he was already making game winning shots when frauds who come into the league today are already anointed superstars (Paul George) before doing . Next year ECF losing 4-3 to a championship squad in Detroit. 3rd year... finals. That was all him.

[Mugen]

Maybe LeBron can give Rio one of those inspiring pre-game speeches tbh.
