The Heat have a bench with Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Haslem, Rashard Lewis, and Cole.

5 players off the top off my head I'd take over Wade even when hes healthy.

And you are the only person ive ever heard say the heat have a deep bench.

It's also really frustrating when he is always on the perimeter and attempting 3 pointers which is feast or fathom with him.

I TELL YOU IT'S FEAST OR FATHOM up in here

Wade hasn't been a top 5 player in a while.

This has less to do with what Miami's doing wrong, and more to do with what the Pacers are doing right.

Larry Bird has built a ****ing impressive team. Paul George has found himself. David West is cold these days but he's a tough talent in the trenches. And they have a 7'3" behemoth who plays like a throwback with modern athleticism. Good point guard play, and some pretty good talent coming off the bench...

The Pacers need to get some more reliable play from the guard position, and a deeper bench, and they're championship ready.

As it stands now, they're probably built to go toe-to-toe with the Spurs or Grizzlies, and cause enough matchup shit with the Heat to bother them enough for six games. But the Heat are just too much right now. They've got a deep bench, two of the best five players in the league, and enough passable talent in the trenches to hold the Pacers off.

In spurts he has been doing some good things. He has only scored over 20 points once in the playoffs and that was against the Bucks in Game 2.

No Kobe? Even though he is still first team all NBA? The disrespect is astonishing...

ESPN did a ranking a month ago for the Top 100:

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Paul
4. Kobe
5. Westbrook
6. Wade
7. Tony Parker
8. Harden
9. Melo
10. Tim Duncan

ESPN needs to go play in traffic. Kobe above Westbrook? Wade at 6?

And I just realized how less HOF worthy talent there is now compared to back in the 80s/90s, at least for right now. Holy shit it's watered down now.

Hill is a combo guard forced to play point, he took a nasty hit to the head and missed a game in the last series from a concussion. He's still not 100%. That said we've needed a pure point for a long time.

Kobe had a helluva year, don't be fooled by how things went as far as injuries and terrible coaching this year. I know he is older than those dudes but he was still ballin at a very high level, ridiculously high, it's just that ESPN has their nose in LeBron's pubic hairs... After the Achilles? Only then will I potentially drop him out of the top 5.
