Also too many turnovers this season, it's like he's lost concentration. Just my opinion.
    I've seen him rely more and more off of that little mode range fade jumper so I agree. Thing is, if he wants to stay healthy he needs to develop his outside and midrange game. The bowling ball strategy of throwing himself into defenders will keep him injured.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    By this juncture I have to believe that it's intentional.

    That was one of the things that used to keep Wade injured.

    I'd like to see the ball in Gordon's hands a whole lot earlier, even letting him bring it up. He seems more effective that way.

    They certainly have a lot of similarities. Except wade is a much more freak athlete than Gordon. When's the last time gordon has dunked ?

    I mean I really can't even exaggerate it. When our bigs come off the pick it seems like there is always two or three guys just waiting on them.

    It's not that he can't, it goes back to your original point, i think he realizes playing like a mad men will keep him off the floor because of the injuries.

    It'll work a LOT better when it's a healthy Gordon running the PnR.

    Way too strong of a pass.

    Davis not into this game.

    if gordon was our primary ball handler, pretty sure he would lead the league in turnovers

    Well yeah Wade is more athletic but that's not what we're talking about right now. We're talking about guys doing things that contribute to them staying injured. Gordon's last dunk was probably about a week ago.

    Everytime these dumb refs miss a foul call on our end Toronto scores on the other end. I don't know why I mess with this phony crap sometimes I tell ya.

    Our coach doesn't understand when to use timeouts.
