Dean the Dream Wade

[KevinLoveFan]

But he’s just as hot as Kevin, right ?

LOL. I've always thought Wade looks like an amalgamation of every hipster dude at a local coffee joint that I've ever seen. Pretty much your prototypical younger 1990s born Millennial dude. I'm sure he even has avocado toast for breakfast. Love's look is a little more classic and timeless. And he prefers almond butter toast, like any good 1980s born Millennial should. (Avocados are for salads, dammit!)

Weirdly, I recently read articles about both guys. Suchan's article about Wade in KingJamesGospel makes me think he's more biscuits and gravy at the local cafe. After reading the article on Love's Tribeca apartment in architectural digest - I'm not sure what he eats for breakfast but I know I likely can't pronounce it or afford it.

I’m so old we had margarine on toast. Also powdered milk, puffed wheat, Chef Boy-ar-dee “pizza” … yeah I don’t miss food from my yoot. At least my old man taught me how to make him a perfect Manhattan on the rocks when I was eight.

as someone not quite in their 50's, but getting hit up by the aarp to sign up early for their literature, I can say the avocado toast isn't as bad as people make it out to be, you can let it cross generational barriers.

Maybe someone will give you a participation trophy if you do too.

Silent Gen Mom had coffee grounds on her toast. She thought margarine was a delicacy!

Husband is 44 and Gen X. I will fully acknowledge I got participation trophies whereas he and my older Gen X brother didn't. Specifically, it was for my last year of rec league basketball in junior high. My elementary and middle school year trophies were deserved, but that last year...the team I was on finished dead last. We won just one game...or were we winless? It was one or the other. Either way, we were last, and we sucked. I still got a freaking team trophy. And I even got a team plaque for finishing in 4th place. Problem is, there were only four teams in the league. So yup. We got a plaque just for showing up.

I keep these at the bottom of the fireplace in the house. They will be lessons for the future son.

How this ties in with Dean Wade, well...he was two years old when I got this plaque. That shows you how young Wade is. He barely makes the Millennial cutoff, whereas I'm one of the older ones in it.

Chef Boyardee had pizza? We only had the canned spaghetti and meatballs. What we did have was Stouffer's frozen pizza. I guess we were buying local since I think it was made in Solon.

Other than playing some quality defense for a good part of the game... could this guy have possible been more of a non-factor offensively? How invisible can a player get?

Chef Boy-ar-Dee was in Cleveland; real name Boiardi, had a restaurant at 9th and Woodland. His company had a bunch of products, including a box for two pizzas (really two very thin crusts, tomato sauce and a small can of what looked like grated Parmesan cheese). One of many examples of ethnic food for Wonder bread white people (like Chile con carne, Ortega taco shells, “French” salad dressing etc) all too dreadful for 2021. Now I know better; best pizza is in New Haven CT.

What's up with this dude?

 

[Cavatt]

JBB needs to play him against teams with wings that hurt Lauri. He has faster feet and better D even if he is less willing to shoot

 

[Heat Check]

So weird that Wade has suddenly fallen out of the rotation. He's played much better than Windler this season, and right now he should be getting some of Love's minutes IMO. At least he defends, which is something that Kevin is doing less and less of.

Not really, Wade's not even shooting 33% from 3 and he's really limited offensively. Windler is more skilled offensively and is shooting better from range. Guys like Wade need to at least shoot well from 3 point range or their third stringers.

Kevin is averaging 24 & 12 on a per 36 basis at high efficiency. Despite what Dean Wade’s 8th grade coach claims Dean is nowhere close to Kevin as a player. Playing much better than Windler is a low bar, although not as low as Pangos.
