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

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

A big 76ers vs Nets game tonight.

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.

Jazz and Jango i'd use the hard J which is normally "dj" but...
I pronounce Ajax with a soft J it's like "a-zhax"
Hell i even pronounce Juve the wrong way "zhüv"

About today it's great that NBA schedules ORL-TOR and POR-OKC as back to back

Feels good to have basket ball where i don't support a club in particular. Best way to really appreciate a sport, the talent, technique, defence and all that without bias. The emotions come from the highlights instead of disappointments.

Raptors with the convincing win, as it could be expected they bounce back

Kawhi dominated after his team started 16-2 or something

If this series continues as it's started i never want to hear Westbrook is better than Lillard ever again tbh.

No debate even. He isn't

You sir have clearly not paid attention to twitter or talking heads.

There's A LOT of people who think Westbrook is better somehow but even they will have to accept the reality if this series ends pretty abruptly.

^^ Yea I know they're around. But they're dense.

Jamal Murray is one of the streakiest shooters out there. If he gets it going, he can go!
They need more of that from him if they want to get passed the Spurs.

Feels like this happen a lot in NBA (streaky shooters)

After his disastrous match on saturday, Lowry practiced his shots for many hours, and yesterday he played well and scored 20+

Lowry's game 1 performance wasn't really a case of streaky shooting though, it was a distinct lack of aggression and being targeted defensively.

^^And Lowry is probably the biggest yo-yo player in the league.

Sixers should trade Embiid.

Not even kidding

Calm down lol, it's one game against the fucking Nets when they've massively sucked every single time he hasn't played previously.

If Embiid's fitness is at this level when he's 25, I think it's only going to get worse as he nears 30. Not saying they should trade him, but his fitness is clearly holding him back.

Embiid + 1st round pick for Davis

It’s a problem with styles. It’s been proven time and time again Simmons is better without Embiid.

Simmons is also clearly the most valuable player of the two

Except that's utter nonsense.

Philly without Embiid have been hot trash, there's literally zero evidence to suggest Simmons is more valuable.

Just look at every single Embiid on/off numbers and their record when he doesn't play or just Simmons numbers without Embiid.

With Embiid they're elite as it gets, without him they're hot trash.

Simmons is more valuable by a lot.

I’m speaking in terms of value overall, not valuable for the team record.

Who would you honestly give up more value for in a trade? Clearly Simmons because he’s got no injury issues.

Embiid can’t even be counted on in a 7-game series.

Also Sixers were legit without him last year. I’d give up Embiid for assets that can help build a run and gun team around Simmons. Their team right now isn’t built cohesively

I didn't start supporting lakers so we can't be in play offs Freeza


i am sorry to say but this isn't good enough

There's no evidence to suggest this tbh, everytime Embiid goes to the bench even when Simmons is in they have sucked.

Every time he don't play they suck, everything you say is just assumptions and imaginary and not based in reality.

Where as we know Philly sucks without Embiid, there's zero evidence to suggest otherwise.

But if this level of fitness is Embiid's norm, I'm not sure I'd want him as the superstar, max salary player on my team. Missing games in regular season when you're easily in the playoffs is one thing, but needing rest three games into the playoffs is pretty bad.

Not arguing against the fitness argument tbh, not really something anyone can control.

I'd take the injury issues of Embiid with him over Simmons

Sorry, he's just that much better. Even with the injury issues. Sixers are nothing without Embiid, and I don't really like the guy much

This thread is still going......?
