Why does every commentator I read/hear expect D-Wade to be better?

The thing is, Brooks is probably not going to play Thabo enough minutes to really be a difference maker on defense. He is going to have plenty of time to go off on James Harden, Westbrook, or even :trash:, but if he is motivated, even Thabo won't be able to slow him down too much. He was just settling like a motherfukker in game 1 until the very end.

I don't see it as settling, Thabo was giving him a cushion and daring him to shoot. What do you do? Say fukk it and try to barrel into the lane anyway
? He would have 3 offensive fouls before the half. He has to shoot the mid range J and he has to make it, PERIOD!

I don't mind his jump shot, it's how he takes it that is the problem. If he creates space and shoots, that's fine. If he creates space and pumpfakes and hopes for a foul and doesn't get it and then throws up a hesitant jumpshot, :smh: If he goes to the side and throws up an offbalance shot while fading in to the corner, :smh:
