The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

I always thought DeGoatzan was the reason lowry would choke in the playoffs....Looks like they really were the choke brothers.

There’s legitimately only one superstar in the East lol

I think raptors were +10 with Lowry on the floor

Guess we cant call that a choke.

Stop lol, Kawhi making the stepback 3 and fade along the baseline was the only reason they were in the game at the end to begin with lol.

Not his fault Lowry performed worse than a G leaguer.

Because he was playing with the people who actually performed lol, he was beyond awful.

Another example why plus minus is a trash stat.

Didn't watch the whole game, but you can't put it all on Lowry. The guy took like 7 shots all game. Magic came into this series hotter than the Raps. Also, Gasol isn't helping a playoff team anymore, no matter his first name. Glad that that trade is coming back to bite Toronto in the ass.

He was a non factor so i can actually.

Gasol was actually really good, he defended the paint really well aside from a couple of 3s late on he basically shutdown Vucevic and he really helped with their offence. Seems like you're prior criticisms coming into the series are still held because nobody who was paying attention would criticize him today.

Weird player to criticize, Siakam, Green and Kawhi were also really good but Lowry was absolutely hot trash.

It's not about shutting down one player when the Magic get scoring from everyone. Gasol was brought in to make a difference in the playoffs, which he did not do. Valanciunas would have given the Raptors at least an equal chance of winning.

The likes of DJ Augustin scoring isn't really Gasol's fault.

Also of course he didn't make a difference when his point guard was lit up by DJ Augustin and looked scared to attack on offence. It's hard to make up that sort of difference.

Not to mention a big 3 before the Augustin 3 happened because Lowry was overmatched in the post which they had to double which led to open 3.

He was trash in every aspect, again it sure seems like you didn't like the trade from the outset and holding it against Gasol.

Because nothing that happened today from him is really worth criticising, much less defending the point guard who only took 7 shots, had zero points and was picked apart defensively to criticise Gasol for some weird reason.

This Warriors v Clippers game was scheduled to start on the hour... 20 past it's still commercials running. America is a joke.

It’s usually 15 minutes past scheduled time every game. They never start at time lol

Regular season the delay is about 10 minutes, but 20+ mins in the playoffs is just taking the piss.

Clippers doing all right so far.

Harlan actually pronounced Ajax properly while reading a CL ad

Most NBA commentators or american announcers in general don't realise the J is silent.

The J is not silent lol

You know what i mean lol, you don't pronounce it A JAX like most american announcers do.

Boston running away with this now.

I thought this thread was for trolling

The whole American J is fun to me because it took me a long time to understand why people had problems with pronunciation of Django, because that’s how you’d have to spell it to pronounce it the right way I Denmark.

It is but i wasn't sure that's what you were doing

OKC are defending terribly, if this continues Portland might actually win.

Eliminate conferences lol

Imagine the Jazz luck, finishing 5th in the standings and still have to play the Rockets in the first round.

Pistons without Blake Griffin are so bad. The rest of this series needs him back even for my sake as a Bucks fan

They're bad in general tbh, but without Blake they are disgusting.

In terms of how the season ended only Bulls, Cavs and Knicks are worse imo.

Yeah the Pistons are pretty awful, that's the least interesting first round match-up.

A big 76ers vs Nets game tonight.
