I mean Wade could have not sucked?

Outside of Lebron no one was offensively elite on the Heat during those playoffs. Bosh was good but he wasn't always stepping up to be a clear cut 2nd guy. 18/18/9/12/13 were his point totals for that series. He was bad to mediocre for 3 out of 5 games, and good in two, but in order to win the series he should have been giving you CB4 numbers like 24/10.

And no other guy on that team had a complete game. Ray was too old, Jones and Beasley were useless, Chalmers was just a role player.

If Wade could have played like 2011 playoffs Wade it would have been more competitive, but he was done as an elite player by then.
