Series Thread: 1st Round: 1) Bucks vs 8) Heat

[shopson67]

He is damn good in the regular season. Just had his most efficient regular season of his career as he finished the year at 23/6/5 on 54% shooting. He just pace himself.

The biggest difference is he isn't as aggressive in the regular season. He goes from 13-14 shots per game in the regular season to about 19 in the playoffs

Plus they're missing some shots from their lineup right now.

My top 3 heat playoffs games

Game 3 of the 2006 finals
Game 6 of the 2013 finals
Last night

What about game 6 in Boston in 2012 when they were down 3-2 and LeBron took charge?

Thats top 5 but not top 3....probably #4 but that was 2nd best playoffs performance by heat player

One of @WiggyRuss worst takes and that's from a very long list

I said with Giannis hurt he should be the best player in the series- and the team with the 2 best players in the series has a huge advantage.

Quit with the excuses. Bucks had a full roster last night

No I mean your take that Butler is a bad teammate and locker room problem that you can't win with. You've been shitting on him for years because you are not objective.

Which is fine by me, very entertaining.

My question is this...why isn't Jimmy better in the regular season? He is RIDICULOUS in the postseason. Give that man his respect.

He had a helluva game last night. It was fun to watch.

Wiggy thinks he played poorly

Well yeah, he's a team killer after all

Well he did miss five 3-pointers and the Heat were only + 4 with him on the court.

He was 19-28 from the field. Only a dumbbell would say he played poorly.

 

[The Q]

Minnesota and maybe Philly would agree…

Nope and nope, ask fans of either team

I’m not saying he was wrong….

I mean-

its the first round of the playoffs for a team that was .500 and barely even made the playoffs after getting beat in a playin game. Yah were surprised the Heat are winning- but not that surprised since the best player in basketball has eitehr not played or looked like a shell of himself.

We're all surprised the Heat are doing so well too. Unlike you we aren't surprised that Butler is balling out. You were wrong about him like you are so many other things involving the Heat, Lakers, and Warriors.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

We need the Bucks series and Celtics series to go to 7 while Embiid rests his knee up, then we need the Knicks to knock off the Heat, who is with me?

I'd obviously be totally down with that, bro (and hopefully they can eliminate Cleveland in 5 or 6).....but that Boston/Atlanta series is likely over tonight in game 5....while the Bucks/Heat could be done tomorrow in 5, or on Friday in 6.

Saw this on NBAtoday.

With 8 minutes left the Heat trailed 98-87.

Then Jimmy took over.

21 points on 6 of 8 shooting & 8-9 from the FT line.

He outscored the Bucks down the stretch. Last 8 minutes Bucks were 5-17 & 4-5 from the FT line for 16 points.

I mean he isn't wrong. Jimmy has never won, and he would be sitting home if Giannis didn't basically miss 3/4 games this series.

You're wandering in late to a long standing convo. If you want to agree Butler sucks you guys can enjoy that.
