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

Sixers shat themselves in 3rd quarter... maybe that was the last match coached by Doc Rivers in Philadelphia ?

We have awesome conf finals incoming, could go either way in both, i predict a Celtics vs Lakers classic

I watched the first half of Philly v Boston before going to bed and didn't see that Sixers collapse coming; 10 points in the 3rd quarter lmao.

And quite the MVP performance from Embiid... Tatum on the other hand

can't wait for Philly to run it back yet again with the injury prone Embiid and Doc Rivers next season

It's the bubble conference finals all over again, but i think it's gunna be Celtics vs Lakers with Bron getting his fifth because the NBA has been laying the grounds for it the whole season.

Just saw on Reddit that apparently Harden didn't score a single point in the 4th quarters of games 5, 6 and 7. Absolutely wild from your team's second star

Morant flashing guns again, ffs.

There was such great energy and quality about this team, I am gutted they ruined it. They were young and interesting to watch and what strikes me the most, they had results.

If it's a legal firearm in a state where it's legal to carry, then Morant hasn't broken the law.

It's obviously stupid and a bad look for the league and the Grizzlies and he will probably be suspended, but it shouldn't be a crazy-long suspension when considering he hasn't done anything illegal.

is it only me, or is too much of a big deal being made out of it... in the recent video i could barely even see the gun... but it made headline news on CNN lol

If this was a first for Morant, the reaction would be a lot smaller. If it's a legal gun in a legal-carry state, he hasn't broken the law. I kinda agree that the reaction is overblown - but on the other hand it's a second time he's flashing a gun on social media and image-wise for the league and for the Grizzlies it's a bad look.

I do wonder what exactly NBA contracts say about stuff like this... Like, if he's given a long suspension without pay, maybe he has legal grounds to challenge that? I dunno, we'll see.

Morant is such a great player, what a shame

I think his gangster antics are more of a bad look to himself than a bad look for NBA, since he has been exposed to not have a street background at all. So it's unclear as to why he's acting like this right now. The league will probably use him to make a statement, anyways he is just showing guns in a country where it's legal. Never read reports that he shot someone or anything.

Not sure what's next for the Grizzlies. For all the shit Brooks received last few weeks, he was a pillar of their strong defense identity. I don't think Tyus Jones is a starter in NBA so first weeks/months of next season are gonna be hard. I was hyped for this team hopefully they can get back on track sooner than later.

In 4 hours we'll know where Wembanyama ends up. Would like to see him with Hornets

Is he the best prospect since LeBron ? I remember people going crazy for Zion but it seems Wembanyama's ceiling is even higher. Whenever i watch his highlights it's almost hard to believe.

Spurs it is, fair enough

Will be Wembanyama's team day 1 since he is already their best player, yet they have some good young guys Johnson, Vassell, Sochan and of course goat coach Popovich to surround him. It's not exaggerated to expect 20 pts-10 rebs right away.

I know Spurs have been a model franchise for decades, ok they've had a few strange stories lately, but he could have landed in much worse situations.

I missed the info yesterday

Doc Rivers out !!! Harden probably leaving as well

Now they need a real tactician who's not a players coach, who can help Embiid develop competitive mentality. Nick Nurse would be a great fit.

Considering injuries ruined our season AGAIN i've mostly stayed away from discussing NBA tbh but i have a few things.

I will never forgive Minnesota for not only the Gobert trade but letting the Lakers turn their season around.

Jokic is fucking insane.

Embiid and Harden are basically tarred with playoff bums moniker at this point and need a finals run to get away from it.

HIMMY BUTLER

Turns out I'm a lifelong die hard fan of the Denver Nuggets and I didn't even know it.

And no, I won't entertain any accusations of bandwagon-jumping or plastic fandom.

Un français sera numero 1 de draft c plutot cool ca non ??

Before clicking i thought your post would be about Wembanyama. From what i read there is lots of hype in France. I'v seen every highlight of Wemby and calling it right now this guy is a future hall of famer

let's go we can't let Bron win another ring

Laker fans, tap in

Nuggets v Heat final would be cool, at least one legend would be getting their first ring.

GLS came in here after a year just to jinx Jimmy Butler

Boston can be the first team in NBA history to come back from a 0-3

Surprisingly the three other cases of a team coming back at 3-3 from a 0-3 yet they lost game 7, basically just saving their honor

What a crazy game winner from White, 0.1 seconds left lmaooooo. The Heat must be kicking themselves for letting him get the rebound for free.

White looking like the only one that wants to win in a green jersey.

biggest thing i dislike about the NBA is they make it all about narratives and the stars... Caleb Martin and Jamal Murray should have won the MVPs, but they gave it to Butler and Jokic

Agreed on Murray and perhaps Martin deserved it too for stepping up although i would give it to Butler. Did not even know series MVP are a thing tbh

Nuggets vs Heat, not the most glamorous final, i am happy for both teams. One of Jokic/Butler will win a ring and that's awesome. Bostonians are crying a lot this spring and that's awesome, were favorites in basketball and hockey and choked twice

I go DENVER in 5, think Heat will be exhausted and Nuggets will give 100% effort every match unlike Celtics who looked down on them.

The Nuggets feel like heavy favourites... but the Heat keep beating those. So who knows. A win-win finals for neutrals anyway.

1-0, go Nikola.

Fun fact - My sisters kid hangs around our local horse track, plays football there. He's like 13 and one day Jokic came to race his horses, and asked the kid if they can play football together. So they played, got some pictures together. Memory of a lifetime for a 13 year old.

And this is a small place, you would never imagine such a global star would find himself around here.
