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

Is Durant is going to gaurd Bron, and do so without getting stomped..what is the point of Thabo..not just this game, but overall?

KD

Lebron right in his face and still knocks it down.

I feel like I criticise Jackson too much, however he is taking far too long to get into whatever play they want to run. Getting under 10 seconds before anything has happened.

KD saves the play with a miracle 3.

Yeah Reggie Jackson hasn't done well facilitating. Ends up dribbling too much in the half court most times.

That criticism is fair.... i like him but he does struggle to get things going, gives off the impression he's more of a 2 guard than someone playing at the point at times.

Miami have been ridiculous with the turnovers. Silly, needless, unforced turnovers most times. Might be one of those nights.

Rising Stars Player Pool

Leave off Jeremy Lamb when he's the best SG not named Beal. SMH

Ugly game so far

What rationale can there be Hardaway Jr, Adams, Antetokounmpo and Antic instead of Lamb?

Antetokounmpo is a massive talent, but his actual production isnt there, Adam and Hardaway have had many DNP's and limited minutes and Antic has done alright but....Lamb is clearly a bigger contributor to his team.

Klay Thompson deserves more love. He's not just a shooter contrary to popular belief.

Thompson is in his 3rd year no?

I realized they have to have an even amount of Rookies/Sophomores but still

Still think Heat will win this.

I cant be sure the OKC bench will continue hitting these shots and there offence is pray for Durant miracle/work off the double teaming of him...not going to last forever.

This game has been very strange

Very.

OKC with 3 3's in a row.......none of them KD.

Smart move starting Perry Jones instead of Perkins in the 2nd half

James awfully careless with the ball, too many turnovers. 2 this half already.

KD taking Kobe's miracle shot after fail plays mantle.

Miami are shooting themselves in the foot. This is ugly.

Amateur basketball being played by the Heat right now..

My one problem with Heat defence is how they double/hedge every pick and roll no matter who it is. They are such a flexible and athletic team, they dont have to do that.

With the Pacers, they change, when its Hibbert they let him sit back..when its West he hedges...and they change depending on who is running the pick and roll.

The Heat are doubling and hedging Durant everytime...but all that is happening is Ibaka is getting wide open jumpers, every time. The second rotation has to come because he is so accurate...either its not coming and he scores, it comes and then the 3 point shooters are open...only a few times (like the Thabo offensive foul) does it all click.

Thabo is the only thing stopping OKC right now...hesitating on open shots, OKC two 3 second in the lane calls because they expecting shots..then he does shoot, he missing.

Get Lamb or Fish back in, Jones can check Bron well enough the way the Heat are playing atm.

Missing FT's all over the place too

Durant tells the crowd to sit down and shut up.

Lebron answers back with a tough shot over Jones great D.

Durant and Bron go back for back....then Durant was a long 3..........Bron misses the next one...dis gettin good

Durant
