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

I'm aware of all that but my point was that it's not exactly affecting the likes of Butler and Gasol getting theres.

They are still a big part of the offense and not like OKC at the end of the season where it seemed like Westbrook was the only one involved in the offence.

If he was jacking up 3s and not getting others involved and getting into the paint with regularity like he is then it will be different.

But that's not the case here, besides that wasn't my point I couldn't care less about the Cavs series I just don't want to see another Brandon Roy etc.

As long as he's out there and playing well that's all I care about, same goes for Durant when he comes back and anyone else.

I am glad Rose is "back", this version of Rose is good to see and gives the Bulls another gear.

But the offence becomes stagnant where he doing his thing and its either Rose scores or Roses gets an assist/hockey assist and the Noah and Gasol running the offence from the elbow is being missed out.

I know they are scoring alot of baskets from assists and its not a big deal right now, but it wont be like this against better teams. Rose needs to stay clear of doing too much, but im more glad he is actually healthy for the time being.


About Rondo. While alot of people ridicule Shaq's analysis and I rarely take any of what they say seriously, I totally agree with him on Rondo. You have to let him free, he cant play another way. For me, either you have Rondo and let him loose or you dont have him at all. Rick Carlisle is a great coach, one of my favourites even, but Rondo isnt his kind of player because he micro manages everything and Rondo needs freedom.

Wherever he goes next, it is clear the team who takes him has to have a certain kind of coach.


I think the Spurs are in trouble. The injuries are piling up. They could get past the Clippers, but there is still 2 months to go...I dont think Parker will magically get better and if any of Diaw, Duncan or god forbid Leonard goes down, its over.

how was this not a foul? should've been a 4 point play.

I agree McAgger but you're 3-0 up and probably going to sweep

So who cares really.

Toronto are a disgrace. No one here (No, B-Mac is not here) had high expectations for them, but the way they have looked coming into the playoffs and during these games against the Wiz is pathetic.

Chris Paul...... I know Kawhi was on him a lot, but he knows he needs to do more than that. Especially with Tony Parker hobbling around.

Actually watched some playoffs for the first time this year.

Clippers were embarrassing Houston-Dallas was incredibly high scoring, Anthony Davis is gonna be GOAT status, and finally watching some of these games has given me an increased appreciation for football.

Any time I watch American sports I want to kill myself given the amount of breaks/commercials.

Poor mans Dwight RG.

Steph probably does it everyday tbh

Bulls

First sweep

Steph 39, 9 and 8 on 55% shooting. MVP

Draygod

Lillard has been so disappointing this post season. Another terrible game.

Anthony Davis is a once in a lifetime talent.. Seriously

They played really badly lol, I doubt anyone here could have predicted 28 turnovers

He's been disappointing since the all star break tbh.

Cavs Celtics has just gotten outta control. Kevin Love got his shoulder hurt by Olynyk, then the Cavs get all aggy and start trying to hurt Celtic players. Perkins throws down Crowder then JR Smith hits him in the face causing him to fall awkwardly and sprain his knee(if it's serious just cost him a few million likely, he's a RFA).

JR "bytchmade" Smith is gonna get at least a game, should be 3.

Let's not act like they don't have a reason to be pissed now.......

What's the reason they're pissed at Crowder and decided to hurt him again? Tough physical clean defense on LeBron?

That was over the top totally from both Smith and Perk.

I dont think anyone tried to hurt Love intentionally, it was just physical play and a little chippiness.

But Perkins and Smith took cheap shots at Crowders head/face.

Probably the constant jabs at them after every game?

- Basically saying they aren't intimidating?
- Saying they can't play defense?
- Basically calling them soft?

He's the one that's been preaching physicality...... the Cavs decided to respond this game. Yeah, they're cheap shots, but after his comments, surely he expected a response right? I mean, that's why he made the comments in the first place I assume?

What's with this "basically" stuff? Are you putting words in his mouth because all I heard was him answer a question after last game regarding anyone on their team being intimidating. What's he supposed to say? Yes, we are scared of their players

what a reach

I'm not blaming him for saying what he said.
I only added the basically because I assume that's the way some of the Cavs players took those comments.

You can't tell me that you didn't expect any type of response from some of the Cavs players?

I didn't expect much of a response other than a hard foul because if you are up 3-0, smart players aren't going to do anything that could get them suspended for next series. Clearly Smith and Perk don't fall under that label though.

I thought it was a response for the Love injury on a guy that had nothing to do with it.

If it's a serious injury it probably cost Crowder millions, he's a RFA.

Well there you go, it is Perk and Smith. They aren't smart players.

JR's may have been a response to the Love injury, but Perks was clearly to send some type of message.

I heard it's a sprained knee for Crowder.
