Updated record: 33-26 with, 11-12 without.

So one set doesn't make any sense to you, so you look at another set that says something just as silly and you accept it?


[/ QUOTE ] The second set doesn't say something "just as silly." The first set suggests that they are actually better missing one of their starters...clearly that is wrong(or else the coaching staff is doing something wrong by starting that player). Clearly the Heat are not better without Shaq or Wade. When I looked at that, I concluded that there must be another factor at work. Thats what led me to the JWill stat.

The year he arrived so did Peja, Webber, and Divac. Also, their two best seasons happened to year after he left.


[/ QUOTE ] I already admitted this.

[ QUOTE ]
Even as you say you "realize" other people had a hand in this, you still say he "led" them. Yet it wasn't until his 3rd year that they went to the playoffs. And the year after he left the exact same thing happened as two years before: they won 49 games and then got swept in the playoffs.

Hes the PG, which is the floor general. I use "led" just as I would use "led" with any QB in football. I think you're looking into things too much.

[ QUOTE ]
Before he got to Miami they won 59 games and went to game 7 of the conference finals.


[/ QUOTE ] I know.






Basically I don't get what you guys are arguing. Someone said that other than Wade and Shaq "everyone else on the Heat blows." I disagreed with that and said that he was underrating JWill and that I think many people do. I'm not saying that JWill is a superstar by any means. I'm just saying that hes underrated- he does not "blow." Hes a solid starter in the league, he makes his teamates better, he doesn't turn over the ball, hes actually turned into a pretty good defender which is surprising, and hes a veteran. I'm not sure why the hate for him.
