Who will be the third best player in the finals? - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

**Luke** · 06-12-2012, 09:07 AM

I think that it is fairly reasonable to expect LeBron and Durant to play at a higher level than the rest of the guys, so we'll omit them for the sake of this thread.

Who will be the next guy though? Will Wade regain his status as a superstar? Or will Westbrook take the next step? Possibly Harden? Bosh?

Discuss.

Heart says Wade.

Head says Harden really proving his worth and punishing the Heat from the bench.

Gut says a fit Bosh to rack up some serious numbers facing down Perkins.

Depends which part of my body is in form!

I expect the 3rd best player to be Lebron.

Yes, you read me right.

1. Lebron
2. Westbrook
3. Wade
4. Harden
5. Bosh
6. Durant (Lebron is going guard him like the basket is the white house)

Sticking with Wade, for the simple fact that he has to or we almost certainly lose. =/

Westbrook is going to light it up.

Yea. The reigning scoring champ will be 6th in this series.

I should follow suit with the rest of the posters and just learn to ignore this shit.

**Wade County** · 06-12-2012, 04:03 PM

I'll say Wade. He played well in the finals last year - and I just hope he gets out of this funk.

Otherwise, it'll be Westbrook.

It's ironic that Heated posted immediately after the doctor. Does everyone remember when Heated was the worst poster? Now the guy is one of the better contributors coming out of the Miami camp and this new guy has ChrisRichards rolling over in his grave.

I can't wait for this game to start. I don't remember the last time I was excited about a finals that didn't involve the Lakers. Maybe the Pistons/Spurs series in '05, because I hated Detroit from the year before and Timmy has always been one of my favorites.

Yea, its the most excited I've been for a finals in a very long time.

And as far as Heat posters, there's certainly a new hierarchy of bad posters on there. Like you said, some of their old ones turned out to be quite good posters these days.

Westbook had some furious fire tonight. I was really impressed.

**Dre** · 06-12-2012, 09:19 PM

I said he'd have trouble in a Heat series because of their defense and his lack of range...I feel stupid now

I'm sure before the series is over, we will all look stupid for one thing or another.
