OKC really isn't as good as everyone thinks

They're being overrated against Miami because nobody likes Miami

They're unbeatable if every part of the big three plays like themselves

Because OKC has scored 21 more points in the two games combined from the two OKC/MIA games this year
Yet the Heat still beat them with Bosh going 4-14 from the field for 12 points and Wade being 7-18 from the field for 19 points

Heat Big 3: 67.2 PPG, 12.8 APG, 20.6 RPG
Thunder Big 3: 68.4 PPG, 12.7 APG, 16.7 RPG

But, if the Heat Big 3 play up to their capability, unbeatable! Even though the Thunder's 4th best player is significantly better than anything else on the Heat roster.

Numbers are skewed by D-Wade's un-Wade-like regular season due to constant injuries

Is that suppose to change any time soon? His body is breaking down. What Wade did in the regular season is what Wade is now.

His body isn't breaking down, he just had the terrible luck of landing the exact same way and doing the exact same thing to each ankle more than once.

It is supposed to change because those injuries were a long time ago and should no longer be bothering him.

He's averaging .8 more PPG with 6 more minutes per game in the post-season

Clearly, the injuries are behind him.

He's simply just played poorly shooting wise in the Boston series, he missed a bunch of shots that he typically hits. It wasn't like during the regular season where he was taking a bunch of shots that he doesn't normally because he couldn't physically do what he wanted to and get where he wanted to shoot.

What he did in the Indy series is much closer to the real Dwyane Wade

He's 30 years old and has more wear and tear on his body than anyone else at his age, probably. I don't really think you have to say much else.

Wade has never been able to deal with pain anyway. Makes sense that he's slowing down
