Wade leaves void

So how does the Heat now serve up Dwyane Wade's slice of the scoring pie, with the All-Star guard likely sidelined for at least six weeks, if not the balance of the season, with a dislocated left shoulder? ...

[George]

I think Dorell is better than Walker.
Heat should give Dorell the chance.

[Ben]

Lets face it, this season is done!... DWade should get his shoulder surgery immediately and do his rehab, in order to be fit and ready again for early next season!... In the meantime, lets play out the rest of this season by giving as much playing time as possible for the young bench players, such D.Wright and Quinn etc.... Forget the overall record, and let the season end as it may, and if the Heat is lucky, it might end the season on a sweet note, by getting a high lottery pick for this years very deep draft, and picking a young top quality player that will help the Heat in the immediate future!... Lets look forward to next season now!!!

who cares one less jerk running around making big money for the dummies paying to watch him, let him smoke his crack and sit around

As i posted here a week ago, Wade would end up in a wheel chair if they didn't get him some help,so i guess i was right!
They still couldn't get him any help, so i would tell him to stay out for the remainder of the year. We'll see exactly how bad these scleps are including Shaq and hopefully they'll make some smart moves to save this wonderful guys carreer.
He's put in a possition where he has to save the team too many times & he feels he has to take chances and do way too much because of inadequacies of the people around him.
Riley made a dumb mistake thinking he could squeeze another season out of team that ran it's last race last year.
they're too old & too slow and they put everything on Wades back and when you do that you not only jeapordize the season,but the guys carreer and the future of the franchise. Stupid! Next after you finally realize that these guys can't play,rebuild the dam team with some good players!

[WTF]

as I posted last week, Shaq sucks and if it wasn't for Wade, Miami would not have won the championship last year. So all you Shaq johnson pole smokers come on out and watch your idol continue to show his non-All star game while Miami gets ready for the playoffs, getting subs and beer from Publix to watch the games on TV.

Gosh, you are really a jerk. Don't seem to be too smart. What do you do for a living?

[Tom Breeze]

Time to see what D.Wright has..Als o look at Quinn.

Shaq must start to play 36-40 minutes and run upand down the court.

Lets just get in the playoffs...

Two assinine comments, and surprise surprise, both made by AOL A-holes. Slither back down your sewer, cretins and stick to your hateful, racist, conservative AOL boards and leave decent sport fans the hell alone. Anyway, GO HEAT!

I work in a hospital. I have seen many men cry. I have seen policemen, firemen you name it cry when they are in pain. Pain is pain. Dwyane has a dislocation along with some other problems in that arm. All you men who are so strong, need to have a period each month or go through childbirth. It is known that men do not have a high tolorence of pain like women do. So stop with the stupid jabs.

No kidding people in South Florida are among the biggest bandwagoners I have ever seen. Yet all of you still pull for your pathetic Dolphins when they are down 6-10 even if thats the best they can do. This is sad.

[yun]

And lay off of Wade and Shaq if you dont like them I am sure there are plenty of other teams out there that will gladly take them both. You people are pathetic.

[Triple Deuce]

"give-the-ball-to-Dwyane- and-get-out-of-the-way mentality is now in mothballs."

GOOD. The bad news is now the Riley mentality will "feed the ball to Shaq, watch while he gets doubled and hope."

Frankly, Stan Van Gundy would have probably been the best coach in this situation. His teams spread the ball pretty darn good.

Of course they didn't have the curse of Shaq: the "Just give me the ball and I can do everything when I feel like it."

It is almost as if the Heat would be better off without Shaq because with him, I'm afraid, Riley will not run plays for all the other scorers he has: EJ, Kapono, Walker, and maybe even Zo, Wright and Haslem down low at times.

Right now, it's time for Riley to think out of his normal mode... and sadly, I don't think he is capable of that as a coach: his greatest achievements have been with great centers, Kareem, Ewing, Zo, Shaq.

Now, he needs to do something quite different: coach balance. Like I said, SVG proved he could do it, can Riley?

[Maayan]

Riley wouldn't let SVG tell his story a few months ago. He cares more about his job than how he's doing

[E Finley]

I will miss this noble millionaire...a grown man who plays with balls and provides a fine example to all youth who, striving to be great, spend their time on the court of dreams hoping to make millions of dollars one day as well. Will their hopes be dashed? Probably. But at least they will buy a cool looking jersey and some ball caps over the years so they can look cool at school.

[Darnell]

Replacing Wade is next to impossible.

I totally agree.

[Maayan]

why. Wade isn't a jerk. He helps his community and 10% of his pay goes to his church
