Doubt it. Bulls were simply a nightmare matchup for the Celtics when Rondo was on the floor. Bradley and Smart will give the Wizards backcout fits. I see it going 6 or 7.

Wall affects the game much more and in the same ways as Rondo does lol.
Plus IT will have to guard one of Wall/Beal.

people hated wade plenty when they won the finals bc he got every call. no one really cared about him until lebron got to miami because between the finals and lebron, wade was a 1st round exit

Was Wade ever flamed like the others you mentioned?

Lots of people hated Wade (me included) because of his dirty play and constant flopping and whining plus the fact that he won the worst refereed championship of all time (D-Whistle).  However he was never the clear #1 player in the league so the hate moved on quickly.

He was already pretty accomplished before Lebron got there. The "D-Whistle" nickname came in 06.

And he rivaled LeBron for best player in the league for a couple years there, but Miami did fall into irrelevancy immediately after they won.

right. i just meant between the finals and lebron getting there* he fell out of the spotlight imo because he was hurt in 2/4 years after the ring, lost in the first round 3/4 of those years, and didn't make the playoffs in the other year. strictly talking about between 1st ring, and lebron coming to miami.

Word,dude deserved that '09 MVP imo. They were irrelevant at one point because he went down with injury and missed most of the season the year after the Bulls swept them in the 1st round.

They sure as hell deserved that #1 Rose pick over the Bulls that year :lol: :smh:
