Will The Real Dwayne Please Stand Up

I never thought it would come to this, but its time for the real Dwayne Wade to please stand up.
In order for Miami to have any chance of winning this Game 5 tonight, Wade must play well. What disappoints me the most is that you use to be able to say that Wade was the most consistent of the Big 3, but that has not been the case. He has played poorly this playoff season, it shouldn't take for the Heat to be in a make or break game for the guy to show up and most importantly come to play. I only want to see one thing from Wade and that's consistentcy.
The Boston Celtics have taken the strategy of making Wade a nonfactor along with making Lebron James and the supporting cast beat them. In the combined two losses in Boston, Wade has gone 16 of 44 from the field shooting 36% isn't going to cut it. I'm going on record to say it right now, if the Heat lose tonight I don't see them going back to Boston and pulling one out.
Which leads to the scenario of IF Miami does lose, many believe you have to break up the Big 3, and if that is the case Dwayne Wade will be the one that gets the boot. Before I get into to why, remember if The Indianapolis Colts will get rid of Peyton Manning Pat Riley would part ways with Wade. I say that because, Wade is the older of the three, injury prone, and he's making 15.6 million per year. With Wade being a slasher and not a jump shooter those injuries he's indured will make him an aging 30 years old going into next season. You can see it for yourself Boston is making Wade shoot jumpers, and the result of that has taking Wade out of the picture. Wade's game hasn't evolved the way Kobe's did going from being a slasher to being able to score outside of getting to the rim. You can add another piece to take the place of Wade, you'd still have Lebron, Bosh, and a Chalmers who's growing right before our eyes. Even if Miami does lose you don't have to blow up the team, despite what many may say.
Hopefully we won't be having this conversation come June, because I have faith the Miami Heat will preveal to the NBA Finals.
