Tweet of the Night: Dwyane Wade

July 4 in Anguilla, eh? It is good tobe young, single, and an NBA champion.

And it is good to have a healthy sense of humor, too, as D.Wade shows is within his repertoire with this Tweet. Click here to see the photo of the “hottie.”

He was one of 12 players named to Team USA’s 2012 Olympics roster Saturday. For more on that, check out this column from Las Vegas by @whyhub.

Danny Green

After suffering a season-ending loss to the Thunder in absolutely shocking fashion, Danny Green was on twitter having a word with himself  for completely disappearing in the biggest games of his career. He went from averaging 10.4 points on 50 percent shooting while playing a key role on the defensive end in the first eight games of the postseason, to averaging 3.3 points on 28.5 percent shooting in the Western Conference Finals. He was basically kicked out of the rotation in the final two games, adding to the disappointing end to what was a wildly successful season for him. Everyone in the NBA goes through struggles, though, and Green perhaps ran into a team that did not favor him match-up wise. Aside from this series, he has had a marvelous season and should hold his head up high for the accomplishments he achieved.

Jamal Crawford

Jamal Crawford was almost correct in his observations. Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals did come down to the performances of Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade. After playing lackluster for much of the game, Wade stepped up in the fourth quarter to score 14 points – one more than he had through the first three quarters. He also had a ridiculous block on Brandon Bass’ dunk attempt, and was better overall in comparison to Pierce, who managed to score 19 points on 19 shots. At the end of the day, though, it was The Truth that had the last laugh after hitting an absolute dagger of a 3-pointer with 53 seconds remaining in the game to give the Celtics a four-point cushion. The play was eerily reminiscent of what James Harden did in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, and so were the results.

Popovich: "Championship teams win on the road and OKC just did that. If we can't win on Wednesday, we're not a championship‑caliber team."

Gregg Popovich has a point, and it’s worth noting that championship-caliber teams also don’t lose three consecutive games after going up 2-0 in the same series. Still, it’s a bit far-fetched to say the Spurs are not a championship-caliber team no matter what happens for the rest of this series, given their body of work this season. Their sudden inability to play with the type of team chemistry and cohesion displayed during the 20-game winning streak is certainly mind boggling, but much of the credit has to go to the Thunder, who have made the necessary adjustments to completely disrupt the Spurs’ style of play.

Sensing urgency, Popovich made adjustments of his own in Game 5 when he started Manu Ginobili over the struggling Danny Green. Ginobili, in turn, provided his biggest game of the season with 34 points including five 3-pointers, six rebounds and seven assists, but the sudden change in game plan fell just short (Recap here). Championship-caliber or not, if the Spurs lose Game 6 on the road, their season will come to a shocking and disappointing end.

SH Blog: Wally Szczerbiak takes a shot at Kevin Garnett

2 Comments

Wally Szczerbiak, a teammate of Kevin Garnett for seven seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves,  had a surprising take on the performance of the Big Ticket, who has been scorching hot in these playoffs but had a rare off-game in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, needing 18 shots to score 18 points.

KG is another one who lacks the #clutchgene always has!

The man they call Wally World is certainly entitled to his opinion, but it’s safe to say, not many could have seen this one coming from him. Does he have some unknown animosity towards Garnett to get off his chest, or was he simply speaking the truth? He certainly couldn’t have been referring to what Garnett has done this season, because the center has averaged 19.5 points and 10 rebounds in his last 14 playoff games and has hit a countless number of clutch shots during that stretch.

Interesting to note is the fact that Szczerbiak was also a teammate of LeBron James for two seasons, but no shots were fired at the King, who had some key misses down stretch, including the game-winning shot attempt over Rajon Rondo at the end of regulation.

After taking a beating for that tweet, Szczerbiak followed up his thoughts with this:

KG never takes big shot for #Celtics now he's fourth in line behind Pierce Allen and Rondo to take clutch shot. Warrior all game though!!
