@Sustainable Parameters @Matt32 @yarkmu I would think that after last year Perk wouldnt get many minutes against the Heat.
@Sustainable Parameters @Matt32 @yarkmu Because they had wide open shots. When Wade cant do anything, you dont have to guard him on the perimeter and force him to take jumpers. It's a completely different team when you only have to help on LeBron and can cheat off of everyone else.
@yarkmu Yup. We would have won in 5 or 6 against this team. Its just LeBron and a bunch of scrubs again with Wade hurting and Bosh irrelevant.
Checking in from Los Angeles and hoping and praying for all of you out in OKC. Stuff like this just reinforces how trivial a silly basketball game is. Stay strong out there and do whatever you can to help your fellow man.
Jimmy Butler is a freaking stud. And Nate put up a better line than DRose could ever imagine against this Miami team.
@The Device You can be moving if you are the primary defender. It was a good call.
Love KD, but I despise the rip move.
The wide open corner 3 is the best shot in the game other than a dunk or layup. Just have to make them.
To people wondering how we would do with Rondo instead of Russell, that is exhibit A.
Gotta love the 2 big lineup against a team playing 4 smalls. Especially when neither of the bigs can score inside. Brilliant.
Perk is such a dunce
Oh boy. This is all Perk is good for
@durantulous There is no system. The system is "give the ball to Russ or KD," and its a testament to how unreal those two are that this team was able to get a one seed with the lack of an offensive system in place. A coach should be prepared for anything, and its pretty clear that Brooks had no backup plan in case of an injury. Its also clear how unbelievably important Russell is to this team.
@Old Man Game I think its possible that while KD is the better player, Russell is the more important player on this team.
@alvarex Rondo goes down and the Celtics are hanging with the Knicks. The Bulls dont have DRose and they get the 5 seed and look to advance. We lose Russ and it all goes to shit.
@BallSoHard And a coach that installs an actual offense.
This team is missing its identity. It's identity is named Russell Westbrook.
Defense is terrible. We might miss Russ more on that side of the ball.
Its a total indictment on Brooks and Serge that he cant take advantage of Harden in the post.
How freaking awesome is it that russ is wearing the fan shirt?
