The chances that Miami ends up with a better look than the one Wade got are <10%.
Idk man, I think mjw is making a pretty good argument. I wasn't watching the game that closely so I wasn't aware of the possibility of Chalmers getting a good look with 9ish seconds left. Because of this...

...If I were a Heat fan (iow if I had no soul) I would've definitely liked to see Wade make that pass and see if Chalmers could get a good look with more time on the clock. As said, the way things turned out, was definitely good. That was a great look by Wade. The shot just didn't go in. But I think passing the ball to Chalmers in that spot and seeing what happens is the optimal course.
