the official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

I don't think Pop got outcoached. It looked to me that the best players on the court just decided to show up, especially for Miami on both ends of the floor. All three were aggressive and played to their own strengths. The Miami big 3 had like 85 points combined, and finally the Miami defense played like we know they can. 

Also it doesn't help SA that Ginobili seems like he's already retired. And Splitter had a shocker as well.

Pop did get outcoached to an extent. Spo playing Mike Miller was crucia. Even though Miller didn't make a single shot(he only took one, anyway) he still successfully served as a decoy since he'd been hot all series. Spaced the floor well and played good defense.

This. They got great games from all 3 of their big 3.

They basically did it on their own with a little help from Ray Allen off the bench. Chalmers, Cole, Battier, Miller, and Haslem didn't contribute much at all. Although I agree just having Miller out there spread the floor nicely.

Key stats:
- Bosh getting 13 rebounds and taking about half of his shots in the paint was huge, then he had the confidence to make the 15-18 footer.
- Wade playing like the Wade we used to know. He was aggressive, he mostly looked to get into the paint every time he had the ball. 9 for 11 on shots inside the paint, and 5 of 14 outside. He still took more J's than you probably want but some of them were good looks he just wasn't making. His rebounding and a few nice assists he had in the 1st half was nice to see for Miami too.
- LeBron. Not much to say he redeemed himself big time. He looked for his own shot more than in any of the first 3 games.
- Ray Allen 5-10 14 points off the bench. Thought he gave them a nice boost in the 1st half when the game was still close and Miami needed scoring.

Tim Duncan - Can't rebound like he did last night. Him and Splitter combined for 8 rebounds, Leonard had 7 himself. Spurs as a team were outrebounded. He had no problem scoring though.
Tony Parker - Looked like he probably felt that hamstring more than he let on. He wasn't quite himself.
Manu Ginobli - I don't know what to say at this point...
Leonard, Green and Neal were great again...

If Wade was healthy, this would be a sweep or a 5 game series max

If Ginobli was in form Spurs would win in 6, if Parker was healthy SAS wins game 5. The "what if" game goes both ways

Ginobli is healthy though, Parker just recently got a knock too.. D Wade's been injured all year.. Not to mention D Wade is better than him when they're both healthy

Did you even read my post? 1. I wrote "in form", nothing in relation to health. 2. I said game 5 when referring to Parker as he got the injury in game 4.

And on top of that you still missed the point of my post completely.

If they are not BSing and considering its 2K and not EA i have no reason to believe they are.

That will actually look even better when the game comes out, if that is all in game footage.

At this point any trailer is showing a game that is 60% done, same with Fifa and everything else lots of improvements to be made between now and launch.

I read it wrong, thought you meant they would win in 5 with a healthy Parker.. The thing is you can't say if a player was in form they would do so and so, he's healthy, the fact that he's not playing well is all on him

You can use 'what ifs' only if you're talking about a players health, not form

What if Rose wasn't hurt, Bulls would be in the Finals now

It could go on all day so for me I say no what ifs at all



And yeah Mole, it looks incredible if that's true in game footage. The shot with LeBron, Kobe and Ray Allen running looked amazing.

2K usually comes out in Sept. so I guess I'll have to get the ps3 version and wait until I get a PS4. They could push back the release until launch but I doubt that as the season will be 2 months in by then.

Random NBA stuff:

Jason Kidd went from retired to the coach of the Brooklyn Nets in 1 month. Very interested to see how he does. Coaching a "win now" type of team he really doesn't have much time to learn on the job. I'm confident he'll be a very good coach, but when is the question.

Supposedly CP3 and Howard have been in contact about playing together Only teams that can make that happen are like Atlanta, maybe Houston, and a couple lesser teams like Detroit.

Celtics and Clippers are in talks to trade Garnett and Doc Rivers to the Clippers. Yes we're probably trading our coach.

Bosh fined 5k for this disgusting game 4 flop


Chris Brown got posterized by Andre Drummond, apparently was just a joke. Why anyone would want to be dunked on by an NBA center for fun, idk.


Andre Iguodala opted out and will be a free agent.

Wade trying to dribble through 5 players.. Wtf was that? One or the dumbest plays I've ever seen

Don't know how Kidd got hired to be honest, they want to win a championship within 5 years their owner said and then they hire a rookie coach

SPURS 3-2

Danny Green The heir to Jordan

Heat in 7 tbh. Can't see SA beating them on the road.

There's talk that my Dubs are strongly interested in Iguodala. However the only way we could get him is if there is a sign-and-trade. And the trade would need to include one of Barnes or Klay to Denver.

I don't like it at all. The potential that both Barnes and Klay have is insane, would be a pity if we lost one of them and they turned into a superstar.

I personally just want to keep our core for the next season and do business in summer of '14 when Biedrins and Jefferson's huge contracts expire.

Well your point is moot. They already have done it.

If you're going to be a complete asshole, fair enough.

Don't play at the game of thrones if you can't take a bit of hurt feelings.

Ginobili. Smart move by Pop to start him(also coached circles around Spo). He was great all game long. They got great games from all their big 3 for the first time all series.

And, Wow LeBron and Wade underwhelmed to say the least in the 2nd half. As usual this series, Wade starts off really great and aggressive, he still had a good game, but he stopped being aggressive again in the 2nd half. LeBron by his standards had a rough game, tbf he missed a few point blank chances that he normally finishes no problem. But if it wasn't for Ray Allen the game would've been over by the 3rd quarter. Obviously they still have a good chance with the 2 home games, but I think the Spurs win the final game.

at that display Ray put on in the 4th tho. If it wasn't for Bron fing up a screen he would've had 5 3's in the quarter and who knows, it would have been a 8 pt game. Refs definitely didn't help Miami tonight. Expect the opposite the next 2 nights.

If the Spurs win it Danny Green needs to be named finals MVP.

The turning point was that Danny Green 3 late in the third to put the Spurs up by 4..

Anyways we will get blown out in game 6

Seems to me like MVP choices for both teams are already settled. If Spurs win, Parker will win it without a shadow of doubt and of couse LeBron will if the Heat win. Although he hasn't been at all impressive other than game 4, there really haven't been many standouts from the HEAT.

Even if the Heat win the title ... as it stands RIGHT NOW nobody on their team deserves the MVP ..

My prediction of spurs in 7 is looking mighty good now
