Jimmy buttler has been absolutely terrible this series. He stole the ECF mvp from caleb martin as well . If miami somehow wins this series it wont be because of butler


Butler locked Murray DOWN in the second half when in the first half he was going absolutely ballistic.

Butler is the leader of the team for a reason. He’s the closer. Without him there IS NO Eastern Conference Finals for anyone to win an MVP.

Spo ain’t trying to give the strategy away
Denver is winless in the playoffs when the Joker scores 40 pts+ it’s no coincidence. It didn’t take a brilliant person to figure out they were gonna let him get his and focus on shutting down everyone else

The new CBA is designed to fix stuff like this. The true ‘max’ guys are gonna get their bread but guys on that second or third level down are gonna have to take way less, the apron is incredibly punitive. I’m not a huge Bill Simmons fan but his podcast did a great breakdown of the ramifications of the new CBA going forward - teams are basically gonna be two max guys + everyone else for 40mm to fill out the roster.
We’ll still see overpays with the cap rising though.

Nice that Miami showed some fight. Maybe this will be a good series after all.

Those are the standards when clowns want to use him against lebron saying his run Is more impressive than any bron finals run.
You can't be the best player on your team and Score 13 points in an nba finals game and then follow it up the next game going 7-19 no way.
He wasn't even the best player vs the celtics

If the Heat win this series, this ring will carry more weight than most any ring ever won, perhaps ever. Mostly because of the overall talent discrepancies Miami has had to go through to get to this point. The only other that may measure is Bron's Cavs beating the 73-9 Warriors after going down 3-1, and even then, everybody assumed and expected LeBron to go to the Finals.

I'd imagine the only series the Heat have been "expected" to win, if any, was against the Knicks and NOBODY had Miami going far enough to play them.

The fukk you talking about? :heh:

I don't think the refs are the reason Miami won. I think they're a reason. Bigger reason is Denver played like shyt to even make the refs relevant in the first place.

We acting like NBA refs don't regularly decide the outcome of games with their bullshyt now? That's what we're doing? Okay :hubie:

Seriously whose alt is this? :pachaha:
I always say cats who really believe the NBA is rigged, they shouldn't watch. If I honestly felt that there was some sort of systemic plan in place to control games, I wouldn't watch the NBA. I don't watch WWE because I don't find the predetermined outcome entertaining. Will never get dudes who complain about "rigged refs" but still watch and then complain, but still watch and then complain, still watch........
