Finals thread.

Wade is not a top five player.

Top 6

 

[005]

I would say he is when he wants to be.

There is never a moment that he doesn't want to be. One of the most prideful players in the league. And I mean that as a compliment.

 

[GahLee]

Unless they get another scorer, that team won't win a championship.

No doubt.

Wade is not a top five player.

Not right now, because he's been hurt. When he's 100%, he absolutely is a top 5 player.

I would say he is when he wants to be.

I would take a healthy Westbrook over a healthy Wade, though it's pretty damn close.

My top five:

1) LeBron






2) Durant
3) Rose
4) Howard
5) Paul

Top 6

Wade and Westbrook are both top 10 players. It's a wash.

 

[005]

Plus Westbrook looks like a ninja turtle. So there's that.

 

[joeydupree]

Deep **** from Coach Brooks.

 

[volfanCLT]

Who said he would go outside the paint?

He would just back him down or drive past him.

KD can't hold him, matter of fact, this new LeBron that surfaces this playoff can't be guarded by anyone in the NBA.

I said force him to shoot jumpers which would imply outside the paint.

When has he been 100%? SInce 2006?

By the way, incredible class act from Scott Brooks. Just showed him on ESPN talking to his team. Class.

Deep **** from Coach Brooks.

That was great. Truly.

 

[VolsByNature]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if Miami had Ibaka.

Or Harden.

Or Perk.

Or Scott Brooks.

Or, damn... OKC seemed like a deep ass team until they went up against the CHAMPS!!

It seemed we were deeper, but straght up the Heat had been there n done that, we looked like a bunch virgins who didn't know where to put it at.

And if you are bold enough to say you'd take take Harden over Bosh, you are bold enough to say OKC would be the champs this year....

Don't matter. Look....there's a storm coming.

 

[zjcvols]

That was great. Truly.

Scott Brooks is going to get a title.

 

[joeydupree]

Truuuueeeeeeee!!!!

What did he say? I turned the game off early in the 4th because I REALLY didn't want to see the celebration that was about to break out in Miami.

Westbrook showed his potential in game 4. I hope that Thunder-Heat becomes the default Finals match-up for years to come. I will certainly be entertained.

Ehh when he wants to be the man, he's top 5. He was more than happy to defer this year.

 

[GahLee]

Scott Brooks is going to get a title.

OKC will be back next year.

It's not Harden/Bosh. It's Harden+Ibaka/Bosh.

And you're also talking about how superior the Heat are as a team, then being convinced that some sort of storm is coming. It's weird.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

That may have been one of the best post game talks i've ever heard.

 

[zjcvols]

What did he say? I turned the game off early in the 4th because I REALLY didn't want to see the celebration that was about to break out in Miami.

Basically said, before the game was over "We will go shake their hands. They beat us fair and square. You guys are an incredible group of guys and we will be back."

 

[bleedorange0037]

Scott Brooks is going to get a title.

Is he in line for the Heat job? Because that's probably the only team that's going to be winning a title anytime in the forseeable future.

 

[joeydupree]

Wish I was drunker for this moment and for Stu to stfu.

Classy. Good to hear.

Lol.
