Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

by The Franchise Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:32 pm

Well it seems they just seem intent on surrounding Wade and Bron with shooters because they get nearly all their points in the paint, due to lack of consistent jumpers (more so Bron but he has the ball in his hands a bit more so it evens out).

They have a defensive scheme where the only flaw is inside defending and reboundings, but there arent many Howards and Bynums to really worry about.

Offensively, they get pretty high % looks in the paint, even without a post player because Bron and Wade live in the paint via drives.

So I get it, they have a fairly good plan to me but if Howard or Bynum was ever unleashed on them in a best of 7 series it could be hell.

Ray Allen going back to his UConn/Milwaukee/Seattle days, by choosing to wear #34 for the Heat. I like it.

I still wear this throwback all the time:

Brooklyn has reached agreement on a 4-year, $61 million max deal with Brook Lopez, league source tells Y! Sports.

No more Dwight for them if he signs, unless Howards still on the Magic in January.

^Dwight is an idiot, he is wasting people's time here, should have just opted out and signed with them....if he wanted to that badly. He will never sign with them now, unless he is willing to be the 5th highest paid player on his own team and take a 70 million dollar paycut.

Rockets to get him and then halfway through the season this shit will repeat itself.

Golden State Warriors traded Dorell Wright to 76ers in a three team trade that will get us Jarret Jack from NOH, and NOH will receive draft rights of Savic and some cap relief.

PS. 76ers will have to amnesty Elton Brand (which they're going to do) for that deal to go through. They will also part ways with Lou Williams and Jodie Meeks. They have already acquired free agent Nick Young.

Kobe Bryant on ‪#USABasketball‬ teammate Russell Westbrook: "That kid's cuckoo like I am."

Yup.

Wouldn't mind Jodie Meeks.

I hope to see a LeBron, Wade, Allen, Lewis and Bosh line up sometime.. That would be epic

So he will play like 8 minutes a game max? lol

Well LeBron needs those 8 minutes of rest Razz

Kobe said this years team could beat the Dream Team... What do you guys think?

I don't think it could, but if we had Howard, Bosh, Wade and Rose then I would give them a shot because Bird was nursing a bad back, Magic had bad knees and that was the last time he played basketball..

They would have an advantage down low and with MJ though

Dunno if Lebron or Bosh are suddenly going to become elite post players but stockpiling these 3 point shooters is just wierd for a team where all their scoring is coming from the wings anyway.

If they are planning on running and shooting transition threes maybe , but this is strange.

I could really see a center like Lopez just lighting them up if he's healthy, Nets might be a legit threat if they convince him to rebound and protect the paint like he is obviously capable of doing.They don't really seem to be addressing any issues at all.

Lopez will do NOTHING.

The only centers Miami should fear are Howard and Bynum. Joel Anthony can handle Brook Lopez. So can Chris Bosh.

by Le Samourai Thu Jul 12, 2012 2:57 am

Joel Anthony can handle Brook Lopez :facepalm:

You clearly have not watched this guy play...he may be lazy and unwilling to rebound, but the guy can score, I've seen him light up Dwight , Bynum, Horford, Camby, both Gasol's and whoever else you consider an elite defensive C in this league,

If Roy Hibbert can give you serious problems, then someone as offensively skilled as Brook will light you up.

by dmize Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:03 am

Yeah I just saw in 3 games since 2010 against the Heat he's averaged 16 points. He would get his points no doubt.

Hibbert averaged 12.8PPG against us. He had one good game and that was it.

Tim Duncan was getting toyed around with by Lopez on offence (clowing him right back down the other end of D) and I am supposed to believe Bosh would have him up? If Lopez gets back to his old level, he would easily get his points on high %.

Anyways.

This team beat the Dream team? lol

Kobe doesnt even believe that, he just saying it for the sake of it.

The slew of big men that team would of thrown together, Robinson, Ewing, Malone, Barkely...Howard would get into continous foul trouble, leaving Bosh and Chandler, two twigs, to getting eaten alive by those guys.

by Le Samourai Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:34 pm

In Kobe's mind, "I'm on the team, we can beat anyone" lol...despite his shoulder being messed up and the other array of injuries and the fact they would be up against Prime Jordan and a slew of better big men.

Anyway this depresses me, ESPN is better than this Laughing

..he actually said it's a disaster Laughing

by Le Samourai Thu Jul 12, 2012 6:06 pm

Drummond has had another decent game but Knight was brilliant as well.

by The Franchise Thu Jul 12, 2012 7:28 pm

That white/fake Latino guy on ESPN, forget his name, but he is as annoying as hell. Everytime I see him he is just talking out his ass.

Duno who that black dude is on the right, never seen him before now, he is also incredibly annoying.

Parker is the only dude talking sense.
