Not just at the presser, watch his ass out on the court. Half the time he's looking nonchalant out there too, especially on defense where he is constantly getting burned, screwing up assignments or just playing lazy defense. Half the time there is a blown defensive assignment Wade seems to be the culprit or cause in some way. The Spurs seem to be the hungrier team and are playing amazingly, which is why I said they'd win it in 6 but I actually wouldn't be shocked if they sweep the rest of this series and win in 5. People say they won't score like the last game and that may be true, but in reality they've been shooting lights out since the OKC series. If Miami wants to win this thing they need to play 1 on 1 defense and stick to their own man. Switching on pick-and-roles I can understand, but constantly leaking into the lane to stop penetration or post ups is why the Spurs keep splashing all of those 3 pointers.
No he regressed before going to the Bobcats. Diaw is a lazyass just like Vince Carter. He's done this his whole career. When ATL drafted him all the talk was about how they got a steal in the draft, after a while he starts not giving a fuck and playing like shit. So he gets traded to Phoenix and gets all motivated in a new environment and on a winning team. A season or 2 later, same thing he stops giving a fuck and falls off, loses his starting spot and gets traded. There's a reason Diaw is such a fat looking mofo, it's because he's lazy. He's perfect for the Spurs though because he's a very skilled player, and Pop seems to be able to keep him motivated (so far) so right now he's looking great. Just don't get carried away because he couldn't hold Bosh's jock strap especially if he were on any other team besides the Spurs right now.
It's not likely they'll shoot like that again. But they don't have to. What they need to do is maintain their defensive play, and put most of the scoring pressure on Lebron. Over the long haul of a 6 or 7 game series, Lebron will eventually wear down from having little help, while the Spurs' big 3 will get plenty of rest due to the quality on the bench and rotations.
Also props to Party Mills, his hustle off the bench has been huge. It looks like Parker is wearing down again, he was absolutely spent in the 4th quarter and that was with only paying 30 mins.
Why does everyone have to do star stacking? You got LBJ, surround him with very good to good players and quality role players like the Spurs have and put in ball movement and sharing the offense. This makes for better basketball, and the stars don't look any less awesome they look more awesome with more quality over quantity style points.
Half of the shit you just wrote has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you can't get over Beverley hurting your boyfriend. Westbrook needs to slap that wrinkly fucked up face of yours for being out of pocket. The players have let it go, everyone on here has, the shit was SQUASHED. But you can't get over it. Yeah I'm going to go the career route, because I have one. So I'm unable to post on ANY board 35,000 times. I worked at a prison, 14 YEARS ago, I probably put my foot in some of your family's nasty asses many times. As a matter of fact, weren't you in some kind of legal trouble once? Would a size 11.5 steel toed boot feel familiar? It's a bitch move grasping at 14 year old history. But there's nothing else. Why?? I didn't want to have to go running and crying to moderators like a little bitch because someone talked about my family, if someone fucked with my facebook or photobucket. No one knows about my many failures, such as wack ass "drawings" or my "fight promotions." Maybe you can get WB and Bev to fight on one of your "cards," you would have about the same amount of success getting that done as one of your other "promotions" or in getting anyone to do anything else with one of your toe drawn scribbling ADD looking shit you try to pass off as art besides wiping their ass with it. Was that "correct" enough for ya, or do you want some more? You must have forgot who the fuck I was bitch made fucking failure of fucking every damn thing you ever attempted.
Can not wait for game 4 tonight. The stats say the Heat don't lose 2 games in a row during the playoffs, in fact they're the third best all time in this regard. LeBron is going to bring it tonight and I'm not sure Leonard will be able to hang with him an entire game again. It's one thing to limit LeBron for a game, it's another to be able to back it up 2 days later in a must win for the Heat. The role players like Ray and Lewis have been getting theirs. Its time for Wade and Bosh to step up and give LeBron the support he needs.
REED Straight Up DRY FUCKED You Like 2 Weeks Ago & NOW You Respond???...That's Like Duran Calling Out Hearns for a RE in 2014... Sorry, but NOBODY is Sooooooooo "Busy" or Soooooo "Successful" that they just Don't Have the Time to Post, But Every 2 Weeks...Nobody's Life is THAT Great, INCLUDING Yours, Mija... Anyways, REED's Moved On & has ZERO Interest in Going Back & Forth w/a BITTER Dick Rider of a 1st Round Playoff LOSER...Should've Exercised that Rematch Clause Sooooooner, Weto... Enjoy the NBA Finals like the Rest of Us Are... REED:dance2:
Hey Andrew, Parker was not spent, he was just busy running the offense. Read this article please. http://nba.si.com/2014/06/11/spurs-heat-nba-finals-offense-system-tony-parker/
THIS... It's the Same Ol' Diaw...He's just Guys like Pop & Parker Holding him Accountable...Neil's Drinking the Kool-Aid, but No Way in Hell is Diaw BETTER than Chris Bosh...Yesterday, Today OR Tomorrow... REED:mj:
Birdman ISN'T Deadweight, he's a LIMITED Offensive Player...Other than Screens, Alley-Ooops & Putbacks of Offensive Rebounds, he's NOfuckingEXISTENT Offensively...But Dude Still BRINGS it Defensively... Totally agREED w/You on Chalmers, Battier & Haslem Though... Also agREED about Bosh Being OVERLY Perimeter Oriented...Shit, Why Not @ Least TRY to Get Duncan in Foul Trouble, w/Some Post Play???... REED:mj:
REED Things the Offensive Structure is Catered Towards Bron Out of NECESSITY... In Year 1 of the Bron/Bosh/Wade Era, the Offense WASN'T Geared Towards Bron...From the Moment the "Big 3" Got Together, Bosh Showed a Strange Reluctance to Do the Dirty Work Down Low...By Year 2, Wade's Injuries Took Over... The Heat Don't Necessarily WANT Bron to Be the Offensive Focal Point, they NEED Bron to Be the Offensive Focal Point...Bron LEFT Cleveland Because he was TIRED of NEEDING to Score 27-30 PER Game, just to Keep his Squad Competitive... In a PERFECT Situation, Bron Only WANTS to Score about 20 or So & Aim @ a Triple Double AVERAGE for a Season, ala, Oscar Robertson... REED:mj:
True. Him and Wade sharing the load of the offense didn't worked because both are/were ball dominant superstars. Something had to give in and it did the trick. But everything has it's downside, and the Heat's problem is that when Bron is not having a stellar game, there's rarely a plan B.
I know he was busy, I'm not having a shot at Parker. All I'm saying is he was physically exhausted in the 4th to the point where he had to come out with 5 or so minutes to go.
No Doubt... Barring Unforeseen Production from Other Sources, Bron's Gonna Have to Be in the 30+ Range the Remainder of this Series, for Miami to 3-Peat... REED:mj:
now it all makes sense. reed hates the guy for what he did to jones jr. spurs passing has been too much for the heat thus far
San Antonio's passing and defense look great but absolutely ATROCIOUS offense AGAIN from the Heat... Danny Green outplaying Wade again and Leonard challenging Lebron on both ends of the floor.
