That's going to hurt them IMO

That team needs to be battle tested before they get in the finals - at least one series. Celtics have everything but they really need a lot of reps in close playoff games with 8 minutes to go type thing in order to overcome a team like Denver

The West is going to be a blood bath. Denver is already facing the Lakers in first round, Clips vs Dallas etc

What an idiot. Watch the Knicks go and sweep the Sixers now, which I would not mind at all seeing.

That would have been hilarious if true. I know the Heat players do love Tyler, though last night they must have been pissed. At one point after one of his misses, I noticed Bam shaking his head in disgust.

That sounds like Jimmy. 9 for 28 :lol:

Remember, this is the same guy that in practice took a bunch of scrubs on the Twolves and beat the starting lineup for the team with Wiggins and Towns.

Jimmy likes to hold his teammates accountable.

Guess Herro is gone this offseason...

Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro had to be separated on the Miami Heat team bus after last night's game against the 76ers:

Butler kept saying “9 for 27” and Herro reportedly threw a punch that did not connect. Butler then yelled “9 FOR 28!”

Wait - this is a fake account, though does sound like something Butler would say. :lol:

Jimmy Butler just played most of the game on an MCL injured knee?

Even the commentators acknowledged Trae was on the bench when the Hawks had their only sustained run. Coby White on the other hand... plays so hard with do much energy.

Trae just came back from a 2 month injury let’s not act like he was fully healthy.

I have Pels and Heat tonight, even with each missing their best player.

I think Sac is going to surprise. I also remember hearing on a podcast that Pels are something like 0-30 in must win games in the playoffs.

And Heat/Bulls is a toss up with Jimmy out, but doesn't matter anyways as the series with the Celtics will be 4 straight wins for the Celtics.

His D when fully healthy is not much different if at all. It is what people are harping on.

Sixers upset Knicks, Pacers upset Bucks, then we’d get Lowry vs Pascal conference semis
