He is exactly what the Bulls need to fill out the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) I am a little late to this party, but I don't know how anybody could ever determine Dwyane Wade is a good defender. He is to basketball defense what the guy who makes a bunch of diving catches but has no range is to baseball defense. He does a lot of stuff that looks spectacular, but overall he's not good at it. In other words, he is the Nate McLouth of basketball defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) You've got a point there, that one still baffles me. The idea there was that Orlando didn't have any other bigs on the roster, and Otis would trade Gortat after a season (but obviously that may not happen now). I certainly don't think he was worth that contract though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi Town Sox Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) In other words, he is the Nate McLouth of basketball defense. I forgot who it was (I have to look for it), someone posted some metric where LBJ was 4th best defender and Wade was 5th, it was kind of a weird metric where the top 25 on the list were pretty much the top 25 offensive players in the league. It is within the last 10 pages, take a look for it it is pretty interesting. I did agree with you that Wade is a gambler looking pretty at some points and foolish at others. James still seems like a player who is not good on the ball but flying around off of it and swatting shots. This does not make you a good defender Got it: http://www.basketballprospectus.com/articl...p?articleid=918 Not quite sure what to think about it, he does say that playing time has a large effect on it (it looks like the majority of these players were up there in minutes per game average in the league) and that it is not the "be all, end all" of defensive metrics. Just shocked to see a player such as Hedo on it? Edited July 12, 2010 by Chi Town Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sircaffey Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If there was any "slave master" in that situation, it was LeBron. He dictated everything that went on during his era in Cleveland. Jesse Jackson is a nitwit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChWRoCk2 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) I think the Heat will burst out the gates for what its worth, but one thing is overlooked. Every team is going to step up their game and intensity against the Heat. It'll be hard for the Heat to keep the intensity up all year without injuries. I really hope Otis Smith doesn't match for Redick, I actually like this roster a roster where we resign Brad, Law, and look at Bouldin, Byars, Richard, and Alexander (even though Alexander has mysteriously disappeared from the Summer League roster): PG: Rose - Law - Bouldin SG: Redick - Korver - Byars SF: Deng - Johnson - Alexander PF: Boozer - Gibson - Richard C: Noah - Asik - Brad That's assuming you can get Bouldin, Byars, Alexander, and Richard on min. contracts, which you should Brad would be the Lindsey Hunter type tutor (that can still play somewhat) for Noah, Gibson, and Asik, Law showed some good stuff in his 2 starts last year, while BBAR would all be there for mop up duty or to surprise us. Chris Richard was released I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) I saw that D-Wade posted something about his kids on his Facebook. I really wanted to say something like, "In Dwyane's World, LeBron and Chris Bosh >>>>>>> D-Wade's kids".

Balta1701 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Heat officially sign both Haslem and Miller. They're maybe 1-2 7 footers away from basically having a complete roster, considering that the big 3 probably would play 40 minutes in any close game anyway. So much for that myth. I'll still sit around and hope they all get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
