Remember 3 years ago we were discussing Butler after the bubble (or Butler vs Kawhi/other top 5 players) and how superstardom could be defined as your capability + expectations?

i.e. KL, KD, Wardell, LeBron, (now Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka) not only have the capability to be great but the expectation to be great every night (and in big games) and get nitpicked if not shat on if they're anything less than that, on a game-to-game (and sometimes quarter-to-quarter) basis.

Tatum is always under the microscope because we have these sky high expectations of what he should be doing. Where we at with Jimmy tho?

Its the same with Jimmy. He should be getting all the blame like real superstars do. If he was still getting 40 and they were losing that would be 1 thing

Basletball gawds dont like this fukk shyt

I guess when Horford did the same thing in Game 1, the basketball gods punished them by putting them in a 0-3 hole

 

[JT-Money]

Let other stars be trash like this while role players killin it they’re getting that work

Like I said they BETTER win game 6

Jimmy is better than Bron they said...

 

[Mad Good Dro]

If celtics win game 6 its over.

Jimmy's on the verge of being on the wrong side of history.....He'll never be able to live this down.

Miami better win game 6.

Jimmy is in that interesting space where he isn't loud enough or has an annoying fanbase where people will really judge him like that. He shares a lot of tendencies that others get criticized for but for him, most people just look away. It's a great space to be. Even if he loses around this time, I don't see him getting much criticism because of how much the Heat have overachieved. If they win, he will get a lot of love. If they lose, he might get slight criticism and then people will move on.

Jimmy is on the verge of having narratives completely turn around in the span of a week if he lets Boston pull this off
He better drop 50 in Miami

Butler is still overrated and has been yapping too much
I hope they get blown out in game 7
