Bosh: Wade > Lebron for last shot of a game.

[yroholla]

I think the majority of people who watch bball knows this....only thing is, LeBron has to get comfortable in those situations too, although he got plenty of chances last year, but Wade is not always guaranteed the inbound pass....defenses will be geared to stop Wade if it becomes too commonplace....but I think all three of them are responsible for closing out games at this point

i just dont think you can verbalize the shit. bosh gotta keep that to himself, unless its some shit they are all comfortable with and he knows that. Otherwise he needs to keep it moving.

So LeBron James vs. Dwyane Wade: Who should be the heat’s closer? Well, if history is any indicator, the better closer is, and always has been, LeBron James. In fact, it’s not even close.

Our team had an opportunity to conduct an analysis of every 4th quarter playoff game that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have played since they entered the league in 2003. Whether it is the NBA’s Standard Game Winning/Game Tying Shot Metric (shot attempts with the intent to win or tie in the final 24 seconds of a game during which a player’s team is either tied or trails by three or fewer points) or the 5 in 5 Crunch Time Metric (5 minutes left and no team up by more than 5 points), Lebron James has been statistically superior to Dwyane Wade during the closing minutes of playoff games:

....

The facts show that LeBron James is 5/12 in career Game Winning/ Game Tying playoff shots while Dwyane Wade is only 1/3. Moreover, James has also made 4 more Game Winning/Game Tying shots total, and generated a higher overall percentage (41.7% vs. 33.3%) in last shot situations.

More significantly however, Lebron has been substantially better during the last 5 minutes of close playoff games while Wade has struggled. Lebron has made nearly twice as many crunchtime baskets, shot 6.5% higher in FG, nearly 10% higher in EFG, and over 9% higher in TS.

Keep in mind, that ’Closer’ and ‘Crunch Time’ can be defined in many ways, and the Game Winning/Game Tying Shot Metric, as well as the 5 in 5 metric, are only two indicators. However, drastic variability in clutch stats outside of these 2 metrics are rare, and the fact that the disparity is so striking, should not be ignored: LeBron James has simply been more consistently clutch in closing situations, despite his poor performance during the 2011 NBA Finals.

So why is Dwyane Wade perceived to be the more clutch player?

The answer is simple: Wade’s remarkable 2006 NBA Finals performance has had an extended shelf life in the minds of NBA fans, and no one can doubt that Wade has historically brought his ‘A’ game at the highest stage – both 2006 and 2011. For this, we cannot completely deny him of his reputation. However, outside of the 2006 Playoffs and 2011 NBA Finals, Wade has actually been abysmal and is 20/62 (32.3%) in Crunch Time situations. In sum, Wade has had to take tremendous number of shots in order to get his points during key moments of a ball game.

So where do Heat fans go from here? I have no idea.

But I do know this much: Lebron James vs. Dwyane Wade = Emotional Arbitrage. Have at it Heat fans. Only good times to come.

to be honest i dont know what to make of that situation. lebron clearly aint clutch. and numbers say wade is actually worse. but when i watch the games eyeball test say wade is far superior

 

[jrod44]

last night he missed 2 freethrows and only scored 6 2nd half points

but he still got two gw's this year, in 11 games. So he good.

 

[jrod44]

plus fuck that little book report up there.

Wade is a prime time player. Especially on defense. They should put up a stat for clutch ass steals and clutch ass blocks.

just because its ridiculous and funny how heat fans were crying about the refs last night

and thats what its all about. Perception is reality in this case.

But for real, that 2006 shit is on point, after you see your fave player beast in the finals like that, and Win the title, he can do no wrong. He did lose his clutch gene after the Olympics a bit though, he got too bulky, and he lost that little bit of touch on his shot, this year he slimmed down, and got two Gw's in 11 games so it seems to be working.

I see the divide is staring already from the media.

lol right.

media cant cause no rift in this situation except between wade's fans and lebron's fans. wade and bron too buddy buddy. everybody but lebron's fans admit wade should be that guy.. who remembers wade's "you know what, ill do it." comment when the discussion came up in their own damn huddle. bosh done said it. lebron all but admits it with his PC "whoever has the hot hand." responses, because we all see he aint to be trusted in the 4th and wade comes up with the big play (offense or defense) more often
