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

Yeah but Cousins has been out how many games, and out again tonight.

Drummond outplaying Whiteside and the Pistons are working the Heat.

Celtics closed the gap but still down..


and 6ers gon' 6er. We had no business winning that game. Avery Bradley was terrible, Crowder awful until the big three, Turner 6-18, Sullinger 4-12, Olynyk 0-5. Pretty much everyone except IT.

Saw ESPN air a stat:
w/o Smart 19-32 after tonight
w/ Smart 30-16

If anyone other than Westbrook had his stats, wouldn't they be going crazy? 32+ PER

28/10/7.5 and 2.5 steals on 47%

Ridiculous. Second best guard in the league, no doubt.

Still not regretting Russell.

I think he's going to be the best number 1 pick since LeBron.

Michael Beasley looked like a future hall of famer in College
Andrew Wiggins was supposed to be a GOAT and he's not even the best player on his team anymore really..I wouldn't judge him until he gets in to the league.. He's has special court vision for his size though like LeBron so that should set him apart

Wiggins is a weird example. He is better in the NBA than he was in college. Those weird inconsistent games are almost totally gone and he is an even better defender and better shooter than people imagined.

"Your" Cavs would have been better off keeping him instead of trading for Love tbh

That isn't the reason.... it's because one the hecklers attacked one of his team mates and he was defending him.

See this is why i don't jump to the conclusions and think like i know everything before everything has been reported on lol, there's usually always a reason why these things happens.

BTW I agree with James. I know you like him Freeza, but I cant agree with you.

Nick Young cant speak at all. He does what he is "supposed" to do, only because thats the one thing he can/does do. He could have a different role if he played more unselfish, because he has the talent to do it, but he has his current role because every time he touches the ball, it goes up.

And calling out Kobe is so pointless.

The issue isnt what Kobe is doing, the issue is he is missing. If he made these same shots, nobody would talk all this play as a team bla bla.

The Laker offence isnt even 50% of the problem anyway. The defence is by a mile the biggest problem.

Besides the obvious, the problem imo, is Kobe is not adjusting. He's taking the same shots he's always taken, which are low percentage shots. He doesn't have the lift to make them anymore. Byron Scott should know that too, and try to get the ball to Kobe in better spots, like on the block where he still has a strength advantage over a lot of SGs.

Byron says chemistry isn't an issue w/ this team. The issue is they don't trust each other on the court yet.

Kobe is my favourite player, and I stated in the start it was fun coming from Nick Young. But it's in no way hypocrisy, since he was talking of the team in general needed to do better. How can he not say that?

Still, the one thing he can do, is more than Kobe can atm. Kobe is completely done and takes that frustration out on the entire team. He stated nowhere than we wasn't a part of the problem. Basically what he said was that the ENTIRE team doesn't play together at all. I don't understand how you can't state a problem, even if you're a part of it. If that's the case, it will never get fixed, since all our players are chuckers, except Russell who gets pulled constantly and played off ball for iso players.

And calling out Kobe is so pointless.

How come? He knows himself he can't do stuff like he used to anymore, and has to adjust. In 2012 he adjusted his game somewhat and started being a playmaker of sorts. That has completely gone away from his game.

Can't all Kobe out, yet you state defense is a big problem. Guess who's the main contributor to that aside from Byron Scott and him playing Bass as a C?

also this defensive play from Kobe is how he is every time

I love everything he's done, but he needs to adapt and let the young guys play their style, or I would rather see him on the bench.

My point overall is:
Anyone can call a team out, when they include themselves as the problem. That's not hypocrisy.

Kobe is killing the team by not adapting his playstyle offensively, when his body is broken down.

Byron Scott is retarded.

Too many reliabilities on Defense.

Well, he does get a lot of those looks, then he milks the clock and takes another fadeaway. The biggest problem overall is his 3point shooting also, he's never been a long range shooter, and he's having the worst 3pt shooting performance of any player in history.

Also D'angelo Russell looks like he wants to kill himself when someone asks about the team's offense and Byron Scott

I can't take this anymore. No idea why he's playing. Are the management afraid we'll win a lot if we get a competent coach?

That would imply management know what they are doing

He's such a pos. Can't stand it. It's like a no talent Mourinho who's always in his 3rd season with a team

Also this comment doesn't make sense at all.

Straight up Forrest Gump shit

Thus the Byron

17-0

Curry with 41 points. Sat out the 4th quarter Had 9 3s made, could have broke the record if he played in the 4th.

It's sad how few people are talking about Paul George tbh.

Dude is playing out of his mind right now averaging 26.5, 8 and 5 and Pacers are 10-2 over the last 12 only losing to Chicago and Cleveland by an average of two points.

They have been really *bleep* good and what's more a lot of people thought they wouldn't make the playoffs or barely make it, they had 38 wins without him last year and somehow people forgot how good he was pre injury. Like he didn't take Lebron in his prime to 7 games

Is DMC the Sturridge of the NBA? Always freaking injured.

My curse already working on Wall

He's playing great, shooting the hell out of the ball

The Eastern Conference has actually been slightly better top to bottom than the West so far. 10th best team in the East would be tied for 8th in the West. If the Wizards win tonight, there's 11 teams .500 or better.


edit: lmao jinxed them. Beaten at the buzzer.

The Wizards just aren't a very good team right now. Their frontcourt is below average, their bench is meh. Pierce ain't there to bail them out in the clutch anymore either. GM has got to be thinking about firing Wittman.
