Wade, the Sixth Man


D-Wade asked Pat Riley to bring him off the bench in Memphis, and the result remained the same for the Heat: Another loss.

Gerard Himself says:
Surprising, isn’t it? I liked the alleys to Ricky Davis in the game. Sadly enough: that’s the only positive thing I can say about this team.

Jared says:
Was it worth it for the Heat to trade a core that could have had something special for years to come for that 1 championship?

Jan.7 at 11:05 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
he tried to ginobili himself

white hot eboy says:
Yes, Jared, it was.

DJ Strawberry > D Wade.

Jared says:
I can’t disagree. Where as I think the Heat would be a top 3/4 team in the East probably for the past 3 years, and next 5 at least, I doubt they ever would’ve championship with just that team.

Heri says:
Who did they trade for Shaq? Butler, Odom and Grant. Well, Butler is a great player but Grant was done and Odom has never lived up to his expectations despite what some people say. So yes, it was worth it. Of course, now, it’s gonna be some time till the Heat are a serious contender again.

Jared, it would have been a nice squadf, but probably eerily similar to the current Wizards squad (with Gil) in their finishing strength.

Hisham says:
They totally sold their souls to the devil for that 1 chip. They look like soulless Bart Simpson out there, rowing his boat in circles while the other kids and their souls get to go to heaven.

I’ll take it. My tv room at home looks good with the replica trophy in my display case.

Jan.7 at 11:20 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
all for 5 bucks

Jan.7 at 11:22 am

white hot eboy says:
Actually, mine was about $200. Sh*t is nice.

Jan.7 at 11:22 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
odom would have been cool as the third wheel. they could have been title contenders, depending on their role players.

Jan.7 at 11:24 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
actually, i was talking about bart simpson’s soul. fu(k your fake trophy. get rid of that monkey sh*t, your embarassing yourself

Jan.7 at 11:25 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
you’re, if you’re gonna be a lil grammar bitch about it.

Jan.7 at 11:25 am

Boing Dynasty says:
Ha.

Eboy, does that replica trophy also have a replica asterisk?

Jan.7 at 11:30 am

BETCATS says:
when the bobcats win a championship ring i won’t be around but maybe my great great great wonderful grand kids will have a replica trophy

Jan.7 at 11:32 am

Jared says:
Lamar probably had the best year of his career in Miami, the 3 of them with a young Haslem clicked, not to mention skip was ballin out of his mind.

Jan.7 at 11:33 am

white hot eboy says:
pete, I made a big one and printed it out and have it sitting next to it just in case any SLAM people ever wound up there and I had to qualify it for them. I still wish the real Tarzan would come back too, because this new, fake one is even more ignorant and unfunny as the last one.

Jan.7 at 11:38 am

Gerard Himself says:
Udonis Haslem is only other positive about this Heat squad.

Jan.7 at 11:39 am

Hisham says:
A replica trophy? Do you hold it over your head and make crowd noises when you’re all by yourself in that room?

Jan.7 at 11:40 am

Hisham says:
haha picturing that is enjoyable

Jan.7 at 11:43 am

white hot eboy says:
In size, it actually matches up more with my kid, so yeah, I have him wear his Wade jersey, hit him up with brown shoe polish and have him hold the trophy while my wife’s out so I have time to get him in the bath. I’ve got the DWAYNE WADEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! in arena voice down too. Gerard, UD is great for his effort, but his size difference becomes a pain in the ass, as witneseed yesterday against Gasol and Darko.

Jan.7 at 11:47 am

Hisham says:
do you also stuff your kid’s cheeks with toilet paper or cotton wads to complete the look?

Jan.7 at 11:49 am

Gerard Himself says:
Eboy: what do you think: will he be used as tradebait in the next month? Maybe in a deal with the Kings? Although that wouldn’t make too much sense for the Kings, I suppose, getting Haslem…. if it was me, Haslem is one of the few players that actually should remain on the Heat roster.

Jan.7 at 11:50 am

white hot eboy says:
THAT”S A GREAT IDEA!!!! I probably need to draw on a thin beard too. Damn, the Department of Children and Families would have a field day with this.

Jan.7 at 11:52 am

white hot eboy says:
Gerard, that’s true, but because of it, he would be a vaulable trade chip for a team that needs a consistent PF. At this point, if a move isn’t made SOON, there’s really no need to move anyone, cause the season is pretty much over as it is.

jk_light says:
When you try to get your kid in the bath, how many fouls will be called on you?
Your kid is probably up all night shooting free throws!

Jan.7 at 11:54 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
the heat cant do anything, they basically gave away their only trade bait(kapono, james “whoneedspants” posey). unless they trade ricky, but then wade would have to get 45 a game just to make it close, and he’s already hurt everyday. the heat are garbage until shaq is gone

Jan.7 at 11:55 am

Tarzan Cooper says:
that poor kid is gonna be hurting with all that falling

Jan.7 at 11:56 am

white hot eboy says:
jk, depending on his mood, probably 4 in a minute. He’ll bang himself into the walls of the bathtub if he doesn’t want to go. I’d be like Jason Collins picking up fouls at a historic rate.

Jan.7 at 11:58 am

Jukai says:
Wade and Beasley would be a pretty cool tandem

Jan.7 at 12:11 pm

Jukai says:
Haha, hey, look at this: “With 1:04 left in the game, Wade collided with Pau Gasol while leading with his right shoulder and hit the floor seemingly in pain. He missed the resulting foul shots, but stayed in the game. Wade said the shoulder wasn’t the reason for the misses. With pain in both shoulders, his left knee and right pinkie finger, it would seem Wade has a chance to aggravate something in every game.”

Rocklet says:
Tarzan - the grammar quote has annoyed me. It would only be you’re if you were attempting to clip the two words ‘you’ and ‘are’ (a technique called elision). As such, ‘your’ is fine. Dropping some knowledge. And if Beasley teamed with Wade they would finally have some rebounding and hustle…..

Jan.7 at 12:27 pm

Joel O's says:
Don’t lose Haslem. Honestly, I think he was the second biggest reason (behind Dwade) behind the Heat winning the championship. He shut Dirk down nearly singlehandedly for long stretches, something Golden State needed an entire psycho pressing zone defense to accomplish.

Kevin says:
sigh

Eboy has a 200$ replica trophy hahahahahahaha..

Co Co says:
There are still 872 regular season games left so there’s time for the Heat to get it together.

Jan.7 at 3:00 pm

white hot eboy says:
CoCo, as much as it will pain you and Lang, you Hawks fantasty will still be a year away too. See you in Secaucus.

Jan.7 at 3:04 pm

Co Co says:
you won’t see us anywhere for wo reasons. One we are going to make the playoffs and can you tell me the second reason EBoy???

Jan.7 at 3:05 pm

white hot eboy says:
Co Co, is that code for “She’s a dreamer”? Happy New Year, btw.

Jan.7 at 3:07 pm

Co Co says:
Happy New Year to you too EBoy. when you refer to Secaucus, what are you referring to? think about it for a minute

Jan.7 at 3:10 pm

white hot eboy says:
The Lottery, lady, where we’ll be watching ping pong balls together.

Jan.7 at 3:11 pm

Co Co says:
No Eboy youre wrong. We won’t be in Secaucus, Phoenix will with our pick in hand. But that’s not going to happen cuz we’re going to make the playoffs

Jan.7 at 3:21 pm

white hot eboy says:
Yeah, wistful thinking is a female thing. You’re lucky you’re so cute though, Co Co.

Jan.7 at 3:34 pm

Co Co says:
I wrote about the Heat this week in Score Eboy. feel free to email me after you read it. In fairness to you though I did the same thing to the Hawks this week.

Jan.7 at 3:38 pm

white hot eboy says:
That should be cute. I’ll check it tonight.

Jan.7 at 3:59 pm

TADOne says:
I think Lang jinxed the Hawks by writing a positive article on them.

Jan.7 at 4:04 pm

Co Co says:
Let’s not blame Lang.

Jan.7 at 4:12 pm

TADOne says:
I think this is Woodson’s last stand in ATL, though.

Jan.7 at 4:22 pm

Co Co says:
we can only hope its his last stand. I’m not so sure.

hursty says:
lol at eboys kid, tarzan still being a moron.

its just alex says:
Whoever came up with the “Posey’s Pants Off Puke Off” title was brilliant…seeing as how my group of friends now use it as an everyday description for a drunk a-hole trying to get with someone.
