Wade Will Average Over 20 ppg in the NBA Finals.

Easy-Rider 66 · 06-06-13, 04:17 PM

I would take under. Take my chances with a banged up Wade sliding below 20 ppg.

Seto · 06-06-13, 04:20 PM

I have the O16.5 +100 as well. Hit it just before it went down to -125.

But were 'match-ups' really the reason he was struggling? Seemed to me like it was partly due to his injury and partly him just not playing any intensity until game 7.

I think the latter aspect can obviously be overcome, but if a big reason is that he is simply just injured, its hard to imagine him averaging that is possible, regardless of match-ups.

This.

Wade will average 10-12ppg IMO.

wade (and jr smith) points under has been easy money all playoffs lets see if he can put up a decent finals performance

Speedy88 · 06-06-13, 05:41 PM

He probably will. Spurs don't have great individual defenders, and Kawhi will spend most of his time on LeBron. Wade should get a favorable matchup against Green/Neal/Ginobili.

Easy-Rider 66 · 06-07-13, 02:20 PM

Game (1) 17 points.

Speedy88 · 06-07-13, 04:00 PM

Expectations for Wade have dropped so much. I've seen some people give him a pass for last night's 17-pt gm. It wasn't too long ago when it was a custom for Wade to go for 20-25 each game, with a 30+ pt game every now and then. A 17pt game against the Spurs is not good. Spurs have let mediocre wings like Harrison Barnes and Quincy Pondexter have huge games so far, 17pts is not enough in my book.

Wade looked good last night.

For the first half he did. Didn't even notice him in the second half.

He also had the worst +/- numbers for Miami yesterday, -11.

Shafted69 · 06-08-13, 01:10 AM

Wade couldn't hit 20 even if mugsy bogues was guarding him

Zubi · 06-08-13, 03:26 AM

I believe he will

Sportsbetting123 · 06-08-13, 06:07 AM

If the series goes 6 or 7, which it probably will, I don't think he will average 20 or more

Speedy88 · 06-09-13, 08:50 PM

He isn't going to average over 20. Before the series started I thought he would, but watching him in a game and a half of this series, there little chance he averages 20. He may not score 20 in any single game.

Speedy88 · 06-09-13, 09:31 PM

Through 2 games: 13.5 ppg.

Mac4Lyfe · 06-09-13, 11:39 PM

I think he meant Wade will score at least 20 points in one game this series...

He's looked better in this series than he did vs Indiana

Obvious before series he wouldn't sniff 20 ppg

This is not the wade of old

The Kraken · 06-10-13, 01:17 AM

Wade and Duncan retire after this series.

Easy-Rider 66 · 06-12-13, 12:29 AM

Wade 16 points game 3. Going to need a big effort or two to get that 20ppg avg.

LordVodka · 06-12-13, 12:33 AM

Didnt Wade have 12 in the first half? He scored only 4 in the second. Pathetic effort.

Mac4Lyfe · 06-12-13, 12:35 AM

Wade won't score 20+ in any game in these finals. The Spurs are laying 10 feet off of him and begging him to shoot the brick shots. Wade won't even attempt a jumpshot. All he can do now is try to fake guys into the air and pray he gets a foul called. The refs aren't falling for his bullshit flops, so don't look for him to put up big numbers.

Goat should have taken Gary Neal or Danny Green props but he would have bet the under on them anyway. Isn't he the most predictable poster at SBR?

t-wizzle · 06-13-13, 08:22 PM

Another good first quarter for Wade. Can he sustain it over the course of the game tonight?

He looks good tonight. He's playing with confidence. Heat will win if he keeps it up.

t-wizzle · 06-13-13, 08:49 PM

Wade is playing defense the way he used to. Among the quickest hands in the league he always used to get steals like this. And he used to block shots better than anyone in the league for a guard.

Speedy88 · 06-13-13, 10:20 PM

He's officially back. Not a coincidence that Wade's best game happens to be the Heat's best game.

t-wizzle · 06-13-13, 10:24 PM

You could tell from the very beginning of tonight's game that he was going to play well because he was getting after it on defense.

Seto · 06-13-13, 10:36 PM

Guys do you think there's any chance he gets MVP?

Half of my "Heat series" bet is actually Bron to win MVP

Lebron gets it unless Wade goes off again.

Seto · 06-13-13, 10:41 PM

LeBron pads his stats a bit at the end, good for me.

k thanks for the opinion.

i also have wade series avg over 16.5 so him going off once was great for me, just hope he can stay solid, but w/o completely going off again.

goat must be over the fukkin moon seeing his boy wade play like that lol.

Seto · 06-13-13, 10:45 PM

If it goes 6 I need Wade to average 13 in the next 2.
If it goes 7 I need Wade to average 14 in the next 3.

Should cash...

Speedy88 · 06-13-13, 10:46 PM

Trying to remember the last time the Big 3 combined for 80+ pts. Heat are unstoppable when all 3 of them are on their game.
