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

Gotta love Josh Hart playing like 5 minutes despite being our best shooter.

Lonzo sat for 14 minutes game time because Rondo does a guard job "being a point guard out there"

I'm so done with this shit... I've had to deal with this fuckery 6 long years

Lonzo is so good when he was wants to be ffs

Wish he’d show this effort every game

Now he subs Lonzo after he plays two minutes

I'm so done... I want to die

So there‘s reports of Rockets waiving Melo already.

Although I would not be too upset about this I feel like they are using Melo as an easy scapegoat to take away from the bad performances of Chris Paul and to a lesser extent James Harden. Melo is on a vet minimum contract here and has done well for a role player and a replacement of Ryan Anderson. Unless Morey thinks he can find someone better in that role, I‘m confused. Melo didn‘t play against Indiana and that didn‘t improve our game did it?

Sorry I meant against Spurs, the game Harden went 1-13 from three and Paul scored a total number of 0 points in the first half.

We might be the best team in the league through the first three quarters

But good god we’re terrible in the fourth

Melo is not why Houston are bad, but he's just not a good player to have any longer. He's playing like he's still a an all-star, taking on defenders without getting past them, settling for long jump shots - which he doesn't make at a good rate. If he keeps playing like that, I don't know why any team would want him.

Luckily there are stats to disprove this.

You are 21st in the first quarter, 10th in the 2nd quarter and 5th in 3rd quarter.

Speaking about how we might only have one loss if we didn’t crumble every game. Those stats aren’t representative until end of the season.

We’ve continually choked away leads because of shit rotations.

Those are your current average margin in each quarter so far.

You might not like hearing it but the fact is you're nowhere close to the best team through 3 quarters lol.

For examples sake Toronto are ranked 2nd, 4th and 3rd.

Not exactly the hardest schedule they've had.

They look great. They killed us when no one showed up. But still. That will inflate these numbers, which is why I said they're better to analyse at the end of the season. Hard to compare with stats when the schedule's have been this drastic.

I've just seen how far we've regressed in the clutch against all teams. We're absolutely dreadful. Blown 10-20 point leads the last five games or something.

Not sure what schedule has to do with anything when we are talking about right now.

Besides you just came off beating the Wolves, Kings and Hawks so you're in no position to be talking about easy wins.

You're using average margin through each quarter? Which is very much dependant on schedule.

We've had one of the hardest schedule before this back to back though.
And my complaint is about these fourth quarters, which the Atlanta game is a huge evidence of.

Anyways I feel we're definitely much better than our record suggests. Sadly our coach is trying to prevent it.

How I wish we had picked Messina over Luke Walton...

No one with the Lakers record is one of the best teams through three quarters

If you're one of the best teams through 3 you can have a bad fourth and still win.

I imagine you're exaggerating though

The Toronto game is the only game we didn't have a chance in. And I feel we choked in all the others.

It's some exaggeration. But I haven't really seen many teams who's outperformed us. Outside GSW who aren't an NBA team, but just galaxy all stars.

Yeah but you said as in today and the stats prove you ain't so....

Maybe you will be eventually who knows, but as of right now you ain't close.

Carmelo is not the reason the Rockets have struggled but you can bet it all that if he’s waived, they’ll improve. That’s how curses work.

I believe in the curse of Carmelo as much as I believe in myself

All the different Butler proposals according to Shams

Miami offer #1 - Dragic, Winslow and a unspecified draft pick

Miami offer #2 - Josh Richardson and a first round pick

Rockets offer #1 - Four first round picks, Knight and Chriss

Pelicans offer - Mirotic and an unprotected first round pick

Rockets offer #2 - Eric Gordon, Nene, and two first round picks

Sixers offer - Dario and RoCo

I’d take Rockets 1 and Pelicans second choice

Depends on what those 4 draft picks are, they could be massively protected.

I have a very low opinion on T Wolves as a franchise but not that low

I don’t think they can give protected picks if they give four of them. At least some of them have to be unprotected.

Would have liked to see him go to Miami

As much as I've argued the trade isn't THAT good for Sixers for reasons given, it's still Simmons Embiid Butler. They're going to be good for a while. Ffs I hate the sixers too

Philly might add Korver, that's when they'd look really solid. The corner threes he would have when defenses collapse to guard the aforementioned trio, dayyyyum.

I long for the day where we don't have two starters out injured every game.

Can't wait to get Bushwhacked by Serge Ibaka's Raptor's.
