    NBA would love this throwback matchup n storyline, maybe Butler or Haslem can get into it with Randle while Spo or Thibs grabs their ankles trying to break up the scuffle

    Matchup of the killer B's, Butler vs. Brunson

    Jimmy B is crazy, I have never seen a player consistently look washed in the regular season then suddenly become one of the best superstars in the planet once playoffs start.

    Giannis was injured for most of the series. He is prob still playing injured but even then put up 26 pts and a triple double.

    Dude is my MVP Bucks are horrible without him but with him they got 3 all stars, DPOY and 1st seed. He makes everybody look good lol.

    In what world is 23/6/5 and 2 steals per game while shooting 54% FG and 65% TS washed?

    Dude also stays in crazy elite shape and is clutch when it matters most. Consistently look washed? Gtfo here.

    I’ve noticed that Jrue Holiday routinely falls off a cliff offensively once the postseason starts

    he has 41/28/60 shooting splits so far this series after having 48/38/86 splits during the regular season

    since he’s been in Milwaukee

    regular season: 19, 5, and 7 on 49/40/80 shooting splits and 59% TS taking 15 shots a game

    playoffs: 18, 6, and 8 on 40/30/75 shooting splits and 48% TS taking 18 shots a game

    that is a drop-off of epic proportions

    in that 2021 BK series, he shot 36% from the field and 26% from 3…in the finals 36% from the field and 31% from 3…last year against Boston 36% from the field and 30% from 3

    The Bucks got screwed by the play-in. Miami is a 7th seed and just had one bad day after 82 games of proving they were the 7th seed. Bucks would much rather play Atlanta lol.

    The 1st seed should really get to choose their first round opponent.

    Don't really care for Giannis though. He can get bent.

    Jimmy butler really is the epitome of a lazy ass front runner

    Would rather play on an 8th seed and never win **** in miami than play on a contender and have actual expectations

    Sounds like you don't want quality players to join Rockets then? Asian sensation keeps mentioning you, so you must be Harden's fan? In that case, do you blame Harden for coming to our team from OKC? Weak move on his part?

    Give the man his dues instead of moving goal posts around like crazy. When was the last time Harden put up 56 in a playoff?

    asian sensation keeps quoting me because I called him out for being a butthurt no life

    Jimmy butler had to the chance to play here with cp3 and harden but instead chose to be on the 8th seed heat

    Jimmy butler had a chance to contend with embiid but he chose to put up 19 ppg in the playoffs

    cp3 and harden are not known to be clutch/winners (it's the opposite, really), so not a whole lot of people gave us a serious shot in mass media. also, do you want to consider where the guy wants to live and how much money he wants to make? No? Miami is a winning franchise with big expectations, generally.

    That's average stats for him, so not sure what you are proving there. harden playing on contenders and being same age has been putting up similar ppg numbers over the last 3 playoffs.

    You seem to have some sort of agenda with your arguing above - everyone else are generally recognizing Jimmy right now.
