and like I said if wade had the ball as much as westbrook and shot as much as him his numbers would b better. why don't u post Westbrooks turnovers and fg% and low bball iq.... wade avg 14 shots a game, westbrook 21 shots per game while playing 6 more minutes per game so obviously his numbers will b higher. But when it comes to WINNING a game I will take wade every time. People act like wade couldn't put up those numbers if he still dominated the ball. Wades roll is different than Westbrooks so numbers don't tell story. Please tell me what has westbrook ever done to b considered better than wade besides throw game after game away with his out of control play. he makes 1 great play then 3 bad ones. he is more explosive than wade but that's about it. Defense is not even close as wade is a way better defender. watch russ on defense.... the guy gambles way too much and gets torched all the time. Westbrooks play hurts his team and until he learns like wade did that hes not the best player on team the thunder will never win. wade sacrificed so much but its amazing that u cant see that

ll I know is I didn't hear Duncan or any other Spur express how thrilled they were to face the Thunder after the second round. I didn't hear any of them say they were gonna win that series. The Spurs didn't have that level of confidence going into the Western Conference Finals. How could they after having lost four straight to them and 10 of the past 12? It's a different story against Miami. They play at a different size and speed. Compared to quicksilver Russell Westbrook, Wade will look positively glacial. Compared to the 6'10 Kevin Durant and his 7'5 wingspan, James will look like a stumpy point guard to Leonard.
The Heat have been the most efficient offensive team of these playoffs scoring 113.7 points per 100 possessions, but they're also playing at the slowest pace of any playoff team. After three straight walk-it-up series against the Bobcats, Nets and Pacers they're going to be in for a culture shock against the run-and-gun Spurs, like going from a Pinto to a Ferrari. It's could take them five or six quarters just to adjust to that, let alone to having to play a team that can shoot and pass and, you know, play basketball.
I picture the series going much like the last one did, with the home teams winning the first five games. In Game 6, finally the Heat will crack.
Honestly, six games is my conservative estimate and it's largely a symbolic one. It could just as easily be five games, with the Heat facing their home moment of reckoning in Game 4. I just think this Spurs team is better than last year's and Miami got worse. I think the whole playoffs have set up perfectly for San Antonio, with the Dallas series and Dirk Nowitzki giving them a guidebook for how to guard Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge, with an athletic, top-heavy Blazers team giving the Spurs a preview of OKC's speed-demons and non-bench, and the Thunder's superduperstar tandem of Westbrook and Durant giving them a heads up for James and Wade.
Last season the Spurs were completely untested and unprepared, going against two slug teams in the Lakers and Grizzlies with a sharp-shooting but undersized Warriors squad sandwiched in the middle. Nobody remotely like Miami. After six games with the Thunder though, I don't think there's much Miami can throw at them that can faze them.
