Wade and Bosh continue to look pathetic. With the way LeBron is playing right now, he might have won a title with one of those Cavs teams. He probably has to keep his wagon hitched to them, but I wouldn't blame him if he left.

Wade is a complete shell of his former self. Bosh seems to get softer with every passing month (and he was already pretty bad in that regard to begin with). If there's a better opportunity out there in July than sticking with Miami, he should absolutely take it.

Just going on a limb but Spurs in 6, Pacers in 7.

[ChiefsCountry]

Wade scored 28 the other night. Bosh put in 16. Yep they suck.

[KC_Connection]

It's not about them sucking, it's about Wade not being anywhere close to the player he was when this era began and Bosh being Bosh.

Spurs in 6
Pacers in 7 (my heart says Pacers but my brain says Heat in 7)

About all you can expect right now out of Wade and Bosh is one good game per series. Lebron will have to carry them the rest of the way.

[ChiefsCountry]

Wade is averaging right around what Pippen did during the last Jordan run. Those expecting him to be 2006 version are just being stupid to begin with.

Pippen was still the best perimeter defender in basketball then, not to mention a better passer and rebounder than Wade.

This.

[RealSNR]

Pacers look better than they did the first round and the end of the regular season, but still.

They're going to get trounced by the Heat. I will be shocked if they push it to 6 games

[KC Hawks]

Ibaka out the rest of the playoffs.

Wow.

Thought Thunder could possibly push the Spurs to 7 games, but now? This is gonna be a 4 games series. Maybe 5.
