lol this forum is hilarious, people are so obsessed with Lebron. I actually though he played pretty well (though not well enough), but people are going to rip him no matter what so I'm not going to get into that argument

Westbrook was great, it seemed like he was everywhere on the court getting involved, and he nearly put up a triple double. Durant was good and super efficient, though I though he settled for jumpers too easily (cant blame him when he is hitting them like that though haha). Interesting lineups from the Thunder- they went big with 2 of Ibaka, Perk, and Collison on the floor almost the whole game and it really seemed to help them protect the rim. I thought they might run smaller lineups with Durant at the 4 because Bosh isnt going to hurt you inside, but they left the bigs in and it paid off.

IMO, the Thunder win came down to their ball movement, which was much better than Miami's rather stagnant offense, and their defense. They got back in transition very well, and their size and athleticism clearly frustrated Miami in the second half. Also, big props to Shefolosha, who was fantastic defending Wade and Lebron. It felt like every time Wade managed to score, he was being defended by Harden. Which brings me to another point- whats up with Wade? You're a top 3 player in the World, you submitted one of the greatest finals performances of all time back in 06, and you should still be in the prime of your career. 19 points aint cutting it

People are going to rip him until he proves himself in the 4th quarter on consistent basis.

The following stat is pretty telling to his 4th quarter performances...

Lebron James - 2011 NBA Finals 4th quarter Points - 18

Kevin Durant - 2012 NBA Finals game 1 4th quarter points -17.

Keep in mind that was Durants first finals game ever too.

Only an idiot thinks Dwyane Wade is a top 3 player in the world.

Eh, I might give Rose an edge over Wade since he has looked banged up this year, but Dwight Howard was a little bitch this year who stabbed his coach in the back and held his team hostage, and Kobe looked a step slow and shot too much (worst shooting % in 5 years). Westbrook is certainly making a case in these playoffs too. I think Wade is still top 5 at least

lol Howard's off the court BS has nothing to do with him being the best big man in the league.

There's a reason people say the Heat may look to trade Wade & Bosh for Howard if they lose.

The trade I heard was Bosh straight up for Howard. Orlando has no leverage, he is leaving one way or another. Howard is still the best big man in the league (though Bynum is close), but his shenanigans are hurting his team's play and that has to count for something

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
