Game 1 Post Game NBA Finals

Wade is hurting but so is most of the TEAM! Its a compressed season and everyone is hurting. The dude does not want to ATTACK! He had a few open lanes and he settled. Thats not an injury thats a player that is ok on settling for whats easy. Late in the 4th, he saw that he needed to attack and look at that, all of a sudden he could. I'm the biggest WADE fan and his done everything and more for this team but what were watching is a new, DIVA Wade.

No more Miller please.

Just put in Joel. But I think Joel has regressed because he hasn't played in awhile.

But our defense sucked in the 2nd half. Bringing in Miller for Wade doesn't help lol.

Spo's about to have more line up issues.

Can't believe Thabo and Collison killed us defensively, and us just taking stupid shots.

I'd be happy with a game 2 win. Or just win 4 in a row after losing game 2 atleast. We can win, OKC played hero ball... we all know what happens when we play hero ball for too long.

Should we start Bosh next game?

We better play more players, anyone but Miller. I'm done with that guy. I hope he retires even if the contract is still on the books just so Spo doesn't have the ability to play him anymore.

It's like f***ing clockwork. 2 trips to the Finals and the opposing coach goes right at him the second he enters the game. He can't play!

I really want to see what Wade says in his press conference. The "they're doubling me" excuse is not going to fly now. What is it this time?

Honestly if Miller can barely move or wont shoot then Spo might as well play JJ more. Miller passed like 2-3 wide open shots...

FFS THIS THIS THIS. WHY ISN'T ANYONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT THIS? WE ALSO NEED COLE TO DEFEND WESTBROOK FOR STRETCHES AND MAYBE JJ WHEN MILLER IS COLD.

someone needs to tell this stubborn staff that it's allowed to play more than 7 players

How about some focus on things that are quantifiable? Nick *** Collison had 5 O Rebounds! That can't happen! We did a GREAT job in the first half of limiting turnovers and controlling the defensive glass. Then we came out of the locker room and did neither of those things nearly as well in the second half. That is where we lost the game (along with the fact that Westbrook and Durant seemed incapable of missing a shot in the second half). Bosh has to commit more to rebounding..he can't be getting outplayed by Collison. Maybe a little more Udonis, or a lineup where we have Battier at the 3 and LeBron/Wade in the back court. Whatever, keep your heads high. We had 4 transition points, gave up 10 offensive rebounds, OKC shot 52%, and we were still in the game with 2 minutes left. No reason we can't get game 2.

I know that it's frustrating to watch a guy like Durant destroy the defense in the fourth, but LeBron can't guard him.

LeBron played 46 minutes tonight. He can't do both. He can't play almost all game and carry the offense AND guard their best scorer. No human can exert themselves that much.

It's either LeBron plays 40 a night and guards Durant, or he plays 45+ and you live with Battier on Durant.

If what you're saying is true, we have no chance in this series, so I'll just hope it's not.

I really don't understand what the hell happened to his jumper. He insists on fading back on most of his jumpers. He never goes straight up anymore unless it happens to be a three, which he should never be taking anyways unless he really has his midrange going.

Wade is playing better than most everyone on this board can play, guy has major knee issues, let this go guys......Let this go, I have more faith in him winning us a game than I have on this COACH winning us a game.

Spo press conference time, this is gon' be good.

"They just went away--that's what they do" Spo explaining what happened in the 4th quarter.

Seems like he does it in spurts. I don't think he is a 100% so it seems like he deliberately conserves energy so he can put on a surge in the 4th. Throughout the Pacers and Celtics series he always came through in the 4th. He also played well down in the fourth with the And-one/jumper/ and drive to the basket (eurostep).

He'll bounce back. A lot of those jumpers were halfway down and could have easily gone in. Missed a lot of shots he usually makes.

The problem was the defense and the turnovers.

Has this dumbass coach not have anything more sensible to say in press conferences?

F*ck outta here!

He was being double teamed in the Boston series or were you watching that series with a blindfold?

We also need to stop with the switching. All we're doing is letting Durant pick his defender. Wade doesn't have a shot in hell of guarding Durant.

Post #117 » by **DefenseWins** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:06 am

I don't know about starting Bosh, because we started off fine.

Ibaka had to guard Battier right? We were FINE in the 1st quarter.

It got bad in the 3rd... I really don't want to repeat myself, but just remember those shots from Wade... sigh...

the defense was bad too.

They got to the rim at will. So much passes, Westbrook was doubled, he passed it to someone, and they got an easy bucket. They have to adjust on that. IT WAS TOO EASY.

Him at the 3 spreads the floor. It worked against Boston and for a while in the 1st half.

Spreading the floor is correct, but most of our guys just STANDS in one spot, even when the ball handler is in trouble, got to be in at least a LITTLE MOTION. We stand and wait for passes instead of SOMETIMES coming to the ball

This next game will be a great chance for Spo to prove his worth.

The tight rotation isn't going to work.

Also a good chance for Wade to show he's not completely washed up. Worst Finals performance of his career by far. :nonono:

Jonathan Tjarks ‏@JonathanTjarks
Wade's main job in this series should be to defend Westbrook. I'd rather get Bosh more touches on offense than have Wade shoot fadeaways.

I agree

Wade ain't healthy
