Yo, Kara, this month is the 35th anniversary of Blue Oyster Cult going pop selling out releasing Agents of Fortune. Celebrate appropriately (by listening to Secret Treaties).

Wade makes more of an impact for the team.

If one had to be taken away, there's no way the team would excel if it was Wade.

This is a Stats vs. Eye Test argument, just like Rose vs. LeBron. This debate will run over and over because you both have a different definition of "impact" and "value" to the teams.

Ok you can have your completely insubstantial argument that can never be proven, and I'll look at all the stats Lebron bests Wade in (which is basically every stat), and the eye test. If the playoffs were included in MVP voting, I would agree that Wade has been more valuable, but they aren't.

I know you won't take the argument seriously, since you believe Rose deserves MVP over D12, so I'll just stop discussing this now.

Well yeah, there's arguments for anything and anyone but with that team the way it is, I couldn't see LeBron being the leader.

I actually couldn't see Wade leading the team to be as good as they are this year either but LeBron seems a complementary piece more than Wade for me.

You should because a team that "overachieves" and improves drastically led by a player is far more impressive than one that underachieves and goes nowhere with a player.

whole world is picking the celtics tonight. Congrats to the heat on their 2-0 series lead.
Click to expand...

Yeah, they act like you win the game on "paper".

The Celtics played badly so they will automatically play dominant basketball tonight.

That's why you play the games.

I don't know who will win tonight though but it's absurd that no one is picking the Heat.

I just took it for what it is, it's supposed to be corny and hokey and stupid, I can enjoy movies a lot like this in that mindset but I can see how some could find them completely unfunny and a complete waste.

Lol

Wade means more to any team going for a chip than LBJ ever will.

I guess my problem is that I didn't know it was supposed to be that kind of movie. My friend wanted to see it so i tagged along, and got that horrible surprise lol.

ESPN STILL not giving the Grizzlies props. wtf at that dumb shit. Its all about the Thunder not doing their job, and not about the Grizz spanking dat ass. I just want to shake someone and yell.

If OKC wants to win, they have to let KD handle the ball, Perk/Ibaka need to try and score IN THE PAINT, and they have to bite down on defense. Essentially, they have to do a 180 and it probably won't happen all the way. How can you say "Thunder still win the series" when you watched game 1 at supposedly one of the best homecourts in the league? So fucking bad. Get this garbage out.

Might as well give it to Richard Jefferson from his contributions to the Spurs' regular season record, and since we ignore playoff performance.

Now even the series tomorrow, Bulls and MVP.

Glad Derrick's ankle seems fine.

Noah is the key for me, he needs to play with the intensity he did when his grandfather was there last game against the Pacers.

Heat/Celtics should be interesting.

And.....not counting out the Thunder while everyone else seems to be.

Noah's grandfather was there yesterday, too. Didn't work out for Noah as well this time.

OKC have got a lot of work to do. But Westbrook should be capped to 3 jumpers per half. And thats it, he takes a 4th? sit on the bench.

Rose will definitely be a different person tomorrow. Acknowledging that he didn't drive to the hoop enough means he's going to be doing it all night.

Well hopefully...

The ESPN 5 on 5 stuff has been garbage all playoffs long.

I think he doesn't do it all the time to conserve energy because against this team, he could do it successfully almost at will.

Sure, Josh Smith blocked a shot of his but the lane to the basket is there.

It's also enticing probably for him too because he can get any jumper(2 or 3 pointer) that he wants the way they play him.

I know his shooting has been off in the playoffs but he could heat up from 3 any minute now like he did against the Pacers in game 5.

I'd like to see him attack the rim early and often though.

i think tonight are 2 must win games, whereas tomorrow I don't see it that way.

OKC definitely cannot come back from down 0-2, losing both at home. I think OKC wins a close game.

Boston I feel like must win this game, too. While it appears that they should be able to come back from down 0-2, I just don't see Miami losing 4 of 5 to a team they will no longer fear should they be up 2-0.

As much as I want Miami to lose this game and for it to be a series, I think Boston falls again and Ainge is about to be crucified for his trade. Rondo is the key. He has to get going.

Err, if the lakers get down 0-2, i don't see them coming back from it. I see the team imploding with ego's.

You know Mustangs are one of the most popular drift cars right? Have to have a RWD car. You know how i feel about the Nissan engine.
