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

Izzy for some reason he's shit scared of being doubled

On Rose what you say is true but it has to be like that, they need him to score for the offence to work. When he doesn't last night happens, when he does everything else flows together.

He wasn't the only one though, too dumb plays from Butler too. I do think they'll win but they will need to pick it up, I think they will as they have been like this all season ( struggle against teams they should beat and beat teams they really shouldn't)

Eh game 7 would be in Chicago.

Well my question was can they take it to game 7, can they win game 6 in their own gym to take it to game 7. The second part is just me hoping they win in 7 just for the lolz

Atlanta have disappointed me greatly. Honestly Brooklyn could be up 3-1 right now if Deron Williams makes that wide open 3 at the end of game 2

Tbh considering how many Chicago fans go to Milwaukee as it's basically a bus ride it isn't much of a home court anyway.

Love not expected to return this post season.. Olynyk sabotaged the Cavs playoffs ffs

Eh..... more LeBron at the 4. That's good news for you Swagg.

I still expect Love to return during ECF.

Tbh the best Cavs 5 even if the stats won't say it is Kyrie-JR-Shump-Lebron-Mozgov.

It won't really make a difference unless they play the Wiz in the ECF.

Every other matchup? They'll be fine. Maybe even thrive.

Cavs in 5 Mole.............

Love still gives you like 17 and 10 and can stretch the floor.. I would rather have him than not

He'll be a miss, no doubt.

But the way these playoffs are turning out and the potential matchups for the Cavs? It's not that bad. If they were playing....... Memphis, Wiz, Clippers? It would be devastating.

On the flip side though it makes Lebron more efficient and more dangerous.

Blake should of thrown a lob to DJ during that basket interference play.. Parker was covering DJ there and they executed that same play perfectly a few possessions before that

That was a great game. Spurs should clinch it at home now.

Why is Olynyk being punished? Why isnt Perkins? Why is Smith only getting 2 games?

So many why's

Anyway, thoughts on Rockets Mole? Changed in any way?

I know I said they would beat the Mavs and they did it even easier than I thought, but im less impressed if anything. If there was ever a need to not listen to analytics, it would be this Rockets team...they arent beating anyone elite with this "top 10" defence in my opinion.

If the get the Clippers, I give them a shot because while Jordan would surely test Howard and nobody has a hope of stopping Harden.

Leonard would take him to task if they get the Spurs however.

My opinion hasn't changed because my belief has always been what will you do when Harden is forced to be uncomfortable?

There is no one else who can create his own shot, both Spurs and Clippers can take his natural game away from him and keep him off the line ( as they have both proven multiple times) what do you do when that happens?

I would be surprised if it went past 6 games either way and not really shocked if it was less than that. Although i will admit i vastly overestimated Dallas inability to defend.

The series i'm really interested in is Golden State and Memphis. ( if Conley is healthy anyway)

Yeah, Memphis has all the tools to beat them even though GSW obviously have reasons to be favoured.

Conely has to be back though.

@WojYahooNBA
Yahoo Sources w/ @YahooForde: Florida's Billy Donovan is finalizing a multi-year deal to become the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

There's that then....

Don't know anything about Donovan really. I'll leave that to Dmize to fill me in on that..............

Bucks - Bulls Gm 6. I'm watching Pau Gasol tonight. He better assert himself or Thibs should do what Phil Jackson did..................

Donovan is a good coach. I'm not completely sold on him at the next level but he will be better than Brooks.

Runs the spread pick and roll a lot which will be fine. His teams tend to live and die by the 3 though. His Florida teams have always been pretty good defensively.

Though he was always a great recruiter and you can win on talent alone in college(ie his frontcourt for both titles: Horford and Noah they would've won and been a top defensive team regardless), so it will be interesting how good he is with talent on par with 10-12 other teams.

As long as Westbrook isn't taking those 3s they should be ok, rest of their team are all pretty reliable from 3 tbh just a question of whether they share it around enough to be successful.

This Spurs - Clippers game going to game 7, now that should be a good one.

I see Blake often folding under pressure with bad turnovers and decisions and I dont believe in the Clippers mental make up at all, but its a game 7 so they obviously have a great chance.

Kinda of want the Clippers to win, to stop the Chris Paul playoff stuff. Even if it's true I'm tired of hearing it just get it done so I don't have to listen to it anymore.

I am a big critic of his, but if they lose this series it isnt his fault at all. Nor is it Blake's fault.

Maybe they mess up down the stretch in game 7, maybe they have terrible games but those 2 guys are 90% the reason this series is competitive, let alone them winning it.

I agree but none the less it will still be brought up until he actually gets to a conference final.

And quite frankly whether he's at fault or not I'm tired of reading and listening about it.

The Clippers impress me again...... now can they finish it off.

Don't know what the hell happened in the Bucks - Bulls game.

When a team wins by over 50 points I think it's best not to analyse it tbh
