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

These playoffs has not lived up the level of the first round last year alone.

Saw Okafors interviews with us. Seems like a winner. Says he want Kobe to push him as much as he can KAT is pretty much a lock for no. 1.

He has a weird stutter in his jumper, hopefully he can get it fixed. His touch seems like it's destined for greatness.

A grown ass man posting up these light weight jump shooters who are relying on athleticism on defence and their jumpers falling on offence.

Game 4 is crucial obviously. I think the Cavs take it and end the series in 5. GSW are shaken to the core and I think they are losing their confidence.

This is what I told my friends, I didn't see LeBron losing to a team who's best players are a bunch of kids.. He only loses to veteran GOATs/Pop

Of course this was before Kyrie went down

You could be right. As you know, I am not his biggest fan and dont rate him like you do..or rate him even as high as the general public do.

But I think you might be right...as bad as the rest of the Cavs roster is, I cant see Lebron losing to a team with Curry as its best player. I really need to see it happen first.. You need either an entire team to match up with Lebron (the Spurs, the old Celtics) or one individual player who comes up to his level and go head to head with him (ala Jordan vs Barkley those years ago), which doesnt exist in today's game.

This is also why I said Lebron is still a better offensive player than Curry, he can do what he does no matter what. He cant shoot, but he doesnt need to shoot to be effective. Now without any other real weapons, he is getting the ball every trip down court...his usage rate is sky high, even higher than Westbrooks in the regular season. You cant stop him scoring points when he gets to shoot it 35 times. Efficient or not, it doesnt matter because the Cavs collectively are stopping the Warriors and the games arent that high scoring...which gives the Cavs a chance every game.

Shaqtin-a-Fool MVP 2015: Otto Porter


I missed a lot of these during the season

Ilyasova traded to Detroit for Butler/S.Williams

Monroe's definitely gone

I think the winner of tonight wins the series

That probably is the kind of 4 man SVG prefers. 3 point shooter but active and competes on the glass despite being undersize.

Forget the power and overall dominance. Look how hard he plays and look how aggressive all his moves are.

You combine that size and size with aggression like that...

Howard busy trying to do inside pivots and bullshit, he needs to watch the aggression Shaq played with, how he established post position quickly and made his decision right away.

Yeah, textbook 4 for SVG's offense. Tolliver was great next to Drummond last year Ilyasova should be better.

You know anything about how good Hezonja is? Looks really good to me but I've only seen highlights. Seen him mocked to the Pistons at 8 in a couple drafts.

edit:

ffs what a *bleep* joke start They want it so much more than us.

okay that LeBron pass to Mozgov was just plain sick

Fast pace, this is more like us.
Dat LeBron pass is gonna be on highlight reels for generations ffs.

Refs robbing Cavs with some bs calls. SMH

Nah I dont know the kid actually, other than by name. But every highlight I seen looks impressive.

This is an intresting idea by Kerr. I dunno, I see the logic but he has to time this right. If the game is close down the stretch, you need Bogut in there to rebound the ball. Too easy for TT to get second chance points you cant afford in the last minutes.

On the plus side there is literally nothing the Cavs can do to stop GSW getting open 3's with this line up.

I see Delly is trying to be some kinda Gary Payton-John Stockton hybrid after that one post move which fluked its way to 2 points

Stick to the hustle play and shoot only when open. Noone trying to see a 6 dribble post up fade away from you.

Lowkey, Iguodala has been the Warriors best player so far I think

You can tell he's feeling himself a little too much after these last couple of games

Agree about Iggy. Defending hard, hustling, moving the ball on offence, shooting when open, bringing the ball up with Curry is pressured and running hard in transition. Good he is in the starting line imo.

LeBron bleeding after slamming his head into a camera

when are they gonna move those guys back farther

I will never understand why they are so obviously in the way.

The amount of players who end up slamming into them/tripping over them is ridiculous.

NBA players on twitter saying the same. Too much of a risk when they're that close.

They been getting in the way for aslong as I can remember. Rodman spent half the game there.

Dont know why really bad things have to happen before things get done, like the Paul George thing.

Curry is playing like garbage. I am seriously starting to question his mental fortitude here.

How is that not reviewable, GSW ball clear as day

*bleep* hell if we chock this
