    It kinda looked like a breakdown to me. I was completely shocked as well that he had that lane completely wide. What impressed me the most is that at the end of that game you just knew that by hook or by crook, Jimmy's taking that shot. Doesn't matter what the defense does, he's finding a way to take the shot.

    I still found it impressive that him and Lebron were able to make great plays at the end while obviously exhausted, but that's very true.

    The Rockets should trade Harden to the Warriors. Let him get a ring. Butler had to move around to get to the Finals. He got his ass kicked everywhere else he’s played. I’d love to see James with some All Stars

    I hate to say it. Miami has a lot more fight in them than the Rockets.

    There was a time in the middle of the 4th quarter, I thought the Lakers was going to win and the Heat looked like they didn't have much left in their barrel. But they didn't give up. Butler didn't give up. Kudos to Jimmy B. They lost Dragic and half of Bam and had to start a rookie in the Finals against the best team.

    Jimbo would be great off the bench for the Warriors. He’d be unstoppable playing the super 6th man role for them.

    Why would you hate to say that? It's true. Jimmy scraping and his teammates feed off that.

    Miami plays like they dont want to let jimmy down

    I'll admit I had no Idea Butler was capable of such a high level of play before the bubble. You're 100 % right.

    I hate to say it because I am a Rockets fan, not a Heat fan. I wish the Rockets played like that. :(

    He’d be unstoppable with Steph & Klay and a real coach.

    Finals always elevate people's thinking on players. Glad Jimmy is doing great things after having some post season troubles in previous years.

    Yeah... a real coach that’s smart enough to bring him off the bench. Not start him and let him ISO to death.

    Butler has Duncan and Herro... and Bam.

    Harden has Gordon and Covington... and Westbrook.

    But yea this Heat team has GRIT. Rockets are trash as much as I hate to admit it cuz I’m the biggest Rockets fan alive. But our team just doesn’t move. Westbrook also wasnt helping the case since he can’t shoot.

    But yea... if Harden has AD... Rockets go 4-0 against Heat.

    Also, nobody doubles Lebron because Lakers have shooters. Everyone triple teams Harden cuz the rest of our team is a laughing stock lol.

    Sigh... I wish things were different for Houston. But we are screwed for a while unless we can add another star somehow.
