Exactly. Bron needs to get better at playing off wade like wade does off him more consistently if hes gonna defer to him down the stretch (although he shouldn't in games like tonight when hes playing well).Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ
What sounds like hate?Originally Posted by LDJ
how so when outside of the 2nd quarter, lebron from a stat point amongst other things had his best quarter, while wade had his worst. Sounds clearly like hate to me. Wade wasnt trying to match KD. That doesnt even make sense. He was pretty much ice cold the entire game, so why keep shooting more jumpers. The only time he was effective, was when he was driving, if he so called wanted to match KD he should have gone with what was working and that was penetrating and drawing/looking to draw the file. Its like especially with wade they get away with what works for them and start playing hero ball (mostly wade again)Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ
I saw Bron get the ball at the top of the key multiple times in the 4th when the game was still close. He didn't look off his game at all. He either missed, made a bad pass, or made the shot and got fouled. Other than that I saw him take errant jumpers.
If anything Wade took shots cuz Bron was not being aggressive enough. Wade was out there matching what KD was trying to do. Bron aint attempt that at all.
On another note,
@ how many times I seen Chalmers laid out on the floor trying to sell an offensive foul, flopping around like a fish.
Wade was trying to match KD effort wise. He was guarding a good amount of the time when he went off in the 4th. He was one trying to get his team going cuz they were cold and maybe got a lil caught up in that but it honestly did not hold back Bron who was very passive in the 4th. Son stood around and watched Wade do his thing, didn't cut, didn't go hard for rebounds or anything like that when he didn't have the ball. Son was not aggressive enough. This is what ppl are talking about after game 6 in ECF. He needs to be focused every game like he was then. When he missed a shot he didn't just start passing the ball like a hot potato or stop shooting he kept going at it. This game he seemed fine to let Wade do him.
I can blame Wade for being cold but not knock how he went about it cuz it wasn't like it was all ball hogging.
But he guarded 1-5, how is that not taking full advantage of his capabilities?
by not atleast trying to focus on shutting down either 1 of the 2-5 that were cookin

Wade pretty much played how I thought Russy would. A lot of shots that weren't in rhythm and working the iso without swinging the ball, until the shot clock was low.

That was just Game 1. A lot of adjustments to be made. Series hasn't really started yet, as the sports punditocracy says. Let's all calm down. OKC had a much bigger letdown in Game 1 of the WCF.

You think? This dude's hairline starts tomorrow. If he is icing, he needs more bottles. Just go ahead and cop the Costco sized family pack with the automatic subscribe and ship to keep his supply ample. He wasn't lacking for haterade though.

You're sounding like Skip Bayless.....which isn't a good thing.
I guess I will keep sounding like Skip, as long as Lebron disappears in the fourth, and goes another year with out a ring.

If he isn't gonna go off, then set everyone up. He should go to the hoop on almost every play. Drive get fouled, or draw the double team and kick it to the open man. I see him in space hovering around the 3 point line too much. Point blank he got outplayed by Durant in the 4th. So there isnt much to argue againt. It's just one game.

There's no player like Russ in the league. This guy goes 120% no matter what. The impact of this on his team is so underrated it's not even funny. He has the Kobe attitude (not talent, just the 'I-don't-give-a-damn-I'll-do-whatever-I-want' mentality that allows him to shoot midrange jumpers when KD has gone for 20 straight)

dwade is my fav player in the league but man he is STRUGGLING. way too much hesitation... he fakes every jump shot he takes and takes 3 seconds for the defender to close out on his wide open 3s. he needs to go back to 06 finals mode and average 35 a game.

4th quarter:
Lebron 7 points (2/5), 2rebounds 1assist
Wade 7 points (3/6), 2 assists.
2nd half
Lebron 16 points (6/12), 5 boards, 2 assists
Wade 13 points (4/11), 3 boards, 3 assists
Not nearly as much Wade's fault as some of you try to make it out..
It is his fault to an extent. But nowhere near 100%
Anyway Thunder need Game 2. If they drop Game 2, Game 1 doesn't matter at all

Wade does that stupid pump fake and attempt to launch at the defender every time he picks up the ball, even when he passes, just to see if he can bait the defender into leaving their feet and get a cheap one.

There isn't much to say about disappearing in the first 3 rounds after the last 2 years. But he still needs to step up in the finals and we haven't seen it. Plenttttty of time for it to happen. But people don't make these things up. Sure it's exaggerated but the fact is he's noticeably worse in his finals career

It was the late run by Westbrook in the late 3rd that did us in. We had a lead and had been maintaining it all game. They went up entering the 4th and gained all momentum and we completely caved. We needed to nip that run right in the bud and maintain our lead till the 4th...
With that said $**% !
But it was a great game.

The timing of those misses are everything, particularly in the 3rd quarter.
