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

At least Beverley is a good defender. He should be playing all of Lin's minutes in the playoffs and then some.

Longshot, but Dmzie, you ever been to Williamstown?

Lol including his own? he'll be absolute spent come the 4th quarter perhaps before

Lillard will end up with so much space we might see some sort of 3pts made record lol.

Yup, in the middle of nowehre. About a three hour drive from Boston they say. Ever hear of Williams College? They got a good D3 Basketball team (D3 )

I'm gonna say CP3, he's a fantastic player but none of his teams have gone anywhere at some point you have to question why.

Which people will do if Clippers are bounced out early.

Chris Paul has nothing to prove when it comes to his talent and ability imo.

The dude plays for the Clippers, if it weren't for him they'd be a nothing franchise who's only highlights would be Blake jumping over the hood's of KIA's.

Besides, I think they can reach the WCF

I don't mean in terms of talent and ability of course.

But there comes a time when every player needs to be getting to Finals at the minimum and if they don't no one is going to be interested in it.

Lebron went through that and so did practically every other superstar, hell as far as Durant goes its now i don't care if you break MJs consecutive scoring record where your ring at?

I do believe Chris Paul is at that stage, i wouldn't go as far as to say he needs to get the WCF but if he isn't a big reason why Clippers get past Golden State and OKC is a long, hard 7 game seris i'm gonna be disappointed.

Griffin is in the same boat tbh, but a little less so.

That's what i was getting at really.

Yeah, I actually saw the highlights from the championship game, they had the lead with 5 seconds but lost on a lay up

Him and Lin (when both are on the court) are probably the worse backcourt in the league defensively.

Perhaps Calderon and Ellis are as bad.

Yeah those have to be the two worst. I give Ellis credit, he's putting in more effort than he did in Milwaukee. Felton/JR Smith were pretty bad this year too.

It'll be interesting to see how effective Beverley is defensively, playing with that injury. Lin will definitely have trouble with Lillard

Forgot about JR and Felton, they probably make that the top 3.

Chris Paul's achievements are nowhere near his talent and ability, he has no more excuses left in my opinion. Its time for him.

I dont really blame him for always getting bounced out the playoffs in New Orleans..they lost to superior teams.

However, nobody ever points out out that while losing those series to the Spurs..he was totally outplayed by Parker in multiple games and in multiple series.

Nobody gives Parker the heady ass kissing Paul gets, when for me, he has been better than him for...well since the start.

Last year, they lost to Memphis...a team they supposedly better than...and they lost 4-2.

Ok, Griffin was injured...but why was his played to a more or less a standstill by Conely (Paul outscoring him by about 5 a game, Conely out assisting him by almost 2.5)?

No excuses this year..they should get by GSW..and then they face OKC? Again, losing isnt a black mark on CP3..but being outplayed, or even just matching Westbrook....how can anyone claim CP3 to be one of the best point guards of all time if he keep showing he is on par, or worse, with point guards of his era, when it really matter?

I feel like Conely outplayed him too.

I think he's the best, all things considered, but he has zero legacy at the moment.

I kind of agree...I think the eye test showed Conely being more like himself than CP3...but I will give CP3 some leeway because without a injury free Griffin his passing targets were greatly reduced and it forced him into being more of a scorer.

Conely on the other hand could play his usual game and as Memphis are generally low scoring anyway, its more routine.

Extremely valid point.

John Wall will shoot less than 40% in the series. Sad to say.

That may be true just because of the great defense of the bulls, not necessarily his shooting woes.

Juveman17 wrote:Wizards will knockout the Bulls first round

No chance of that lol.

Was wondering why I hadn't seen the Playoffs preview, which is usually epic. But now I understand.

The Pitbull song is good though.

Anyone gonna be watching Raps-Nets?

Have Raps taking the first game.

Yea I'm watching everything today. Gonna be a long one. I have the Nets, just because I want them to play Miami.

Ideally a sweep.

Garnett has had a rough start.

Raptors

I don't see any team but the Pacers being able to maybe reach a game 6..

What is this based on?

Hopefully not the series vs Rose-less Chicago and the Bucks? Or the lame duck Knicks and OAP Celtics?

The Nets would probably be the best East team you played other than Indy, the last 2 playoff's.

At least on paper and how they have played this calander year.

KG is finished, Pierce is on his last legs, D-Will isn't the same player due to injuries and JJ is meh.. I don't see them troubling a serious Miami team, we have the two best players in the series on our side

The 4-0 in the regular season doesn't bother me one bit, every game could of went either way pretty much.. D-Wade sat out one and LeBron got wrongfully fouled out in another game

After one of the most pathetic free throw sequences ever.

Dubs win
