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

I don't care about regular season MVP if you can't even carry your team out of the first round. It's one thing to expect a championship, but this is the first round we're talking about. A star play should be able to assert themselves in a game/series.

Semi agreed.

I understand the bonehead that is Westbrook, I understand the 'genius' that is Scott Brooks and the offence juggernaut that is Kendrick Perkins. Huge impedements.

But, he said he's tired of being 2nd, his time is now. Yet, his play and his body language on the court is anything but right now.

It's dissapointing to see really.

OKC has frustrated me more in this series, than the Lakers have all season And I'm not even an OKC fan ffs.
Such a great Western PO, a shame East is such a poverty conference

Speaking of Lakers.

ESPN have said you have approached Bulls over giving Thibs the Lakers job

Wouldn't be bad tbh
Hearing rumours about Uconn coach Kevin Ollie. Dmize, how would you estimate the Lakers' chances of getting him?
Also Jeff Van Gundy would be my bet at the moment, Lakers are taking their time though.

Pretty sure he AC Milan fan before anything else He's running the Lakers like Berlusconi though
So happy with D'antoni's firing, useless coach.

KD is the most beloved superstar in the NBA, that article is going too far, but almost no one is saying anything about memphis and Allen giving him the business. I remember when Lebron was getting killed for stuff like this, oh well...

0-10%

He said in an interview he'll never say never regarding the NBA but right now he's not thinking about it. IMO OKC is the only job where he'd consider leaving this year. He's from L.A. though so there's that.

Freeza wrote:
Yeah the point guard who's called Scott Brooks is unreliable, refusing to play his only SG/Swingman besides KD with any offense game whatsoever in Lamb, and playing Fisher over him.

Count on Scott Brooks to completely abandon a rotation that worked all year in the regular season.

Mole, Dani; what adjustments would you make if you're Brooklyn? It's quite clear that D-Will can't stay with Lowry and DeRozan is getting ALL their guards in foul trouble.

Gotta do 2 things IMO.

1st Put Livingston on him...he height and length alone will give him a different look.


But most important, he is getting open shots on fast breaks. Bringing up the court, you have to get to him much earlier than they are. Plus in the half court, they are letting him settle into 3's, they need to get up on him and make him put it on the ground once at least.

Some of the shots he made though, he was just crazy hot. But that starts when you give guys open looks and they find the flow.

The weakness in his game is getting right to the rim. His jumper is good and he has the floater in the arsenal, but he isnt ever going to finish right at the rim. Gotta get up on him and make him drive it right at the rim.

That's because of the way they act off the court.

KD has been nothing but humble the entire time, Lebron on the other hand called himself King James, imitated Jordan with the powder toss, took the same number as Jordan etc etc and so on.

He won MVP 3 times before his first championship, been hyped as the successor to Jordan since bloody High School lol.

Not to mention "The Decision" didn't exactly help his cause.

KD isn't at the level yet where he deserves to be killed for it in the same way Lebron was, if he goes out in the first round though.... it won't be too long until the media gets on his back in similar ways.

The Oklahoman has apologized after running a headline that labeled Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant “Mr. Unreliable.”

Smart move. KD dont have to take this shit lol

He playing in some backwater team by NBA standards and does so while playing with that point guard with rocks for brains. Fans and local media turning on you?

KD: I can get that in LA/NY/whichever team will go into the luxury tax to keep James Harden

KD is gone in 2016 imo, Championship or not.. Brookyln is already targeting him, no doubt the Lakers will.. Nobody wants to live in a hick town forever

Maybe Toronto can wow him at that years all star game and get him to sign though

Lol @ Mr Unreliable having 14 points after first quarter.

and we gonna steal wiggins from Milwaukee once his first contract up

OKC have been great so far.

Westbrook actually looks in control and KD has been assertive.

They need to keep it up.

They're playing great. Brooks actually made an adjustment and benched Sefolosha for Butler. Westbrook is taking great shots and he's only taken 1 three.

Westbrook even banking 3s in now lmao.

Man the Hawks suck.. Choked big time

Ofc they suck lol, you don't finish below 500 if you don't lol.

Anyway hopefully Pacers close it out at home, would much rather watch Pacers and Wiz than Hawks and Wiz despite the joke the Pacers have become.

We're taking it to game 7

O'Neal got injured as well We're *bleep*. No Bogut or O'Neal. Welcome Clippers, come inside.

Wait, KD is 7/14 in the 4 OT's and Westbrook is 0/14 in the OT's and its KD thats unreliable?



I heard Kenny Smith just point this out, what kinda logic is this.

Toronto is his favorite team and we can afford him. Please come home KD.

KD could get Kobe money in a big market team like LA or NY, don't think he'll go to Raptors because of that reason, isn't the tax ridiculous when playing in Canada?
Well relatively ridiculous, the tax for someone with a 150.000$ salary, probably have to pay like 65% taxes in Denmark.

Toronto

Be real...which free agent goes to Toronto?

If he goes there, I will literally eat my hat.
