Let’s not get carried away here. That series single-handedly removed Lebron from ever being ahead of MJ


So 2-8 no show butler is doing better?

i'm completely baffled By jimmy.

I'm guessing his father's situation has drained his emotions, he needs that emotion to get to a good level of play. He just looks nearly lifeless out there. It's not injuries or being hurt, he's just has no emotion out there, where's the passion he had in round one?

I don't think it's that at all. This is what these players live for. Jimmy we all know has wanted a title all his career. This is what he's worked so hard for. A true competitor wld use any adversity to fuel him. Look at Isaiah Thoams a day after his sister died, dropped 33pts. I'm just completely at a loss and baffled watching butler. I'm a big fan, even bigger Wade fan - imagine watching Wade play like this. I'm completely disappointed man.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Gabe has 0 so far. Would be great if he got going.

Listening to the ABC announcers, you'd think that the Heat were getting away with a ton of fouls, while the Nuggets are just playing hard basketball. The refs in this game are terrible both ways. Fouls are totally arbitrary.

When Lowry plays well you see why this team needs a point guard.

Not very confident in this lead. I expect Jokic to turn it on here. If Jimmy doesn’t respond we will find ourselves down 10 sooner or later

Gun to your head who wld you put your money to score 30+ pts in gm5 Jimmy or Bam?

Jimmy's averaging 21.8pts & Bam 22.2pts.


And this was my point for the question. We could no longer rely on Jimmy. Bam is answering the question. Kid is responding in a huge way. Does he finally reach 30+?

Yeah... its still Jimmy. The very fact that you have to say "finally" for Bam tells it all, when a 30 point game from Jimmy probably wouldn't even satisfy most of you at this point.

I don’t think I’d ever shut up if Bam won a FMVP coming back from a 3-1 deficit

I think he’s injury. Someone thinks he’s exhausted. He just hasn’t been the same player once he injured his ankle in the first game vs Knicks. I don’t believe his ankle has been healed properly.

Gordon with 3 fouls, Jokic and Murray with 2 each. Go at them. Get them out of the game.

Keep in mind, Butler is a little crazy. Who knows what is going on in the noggin' of his? Maybe Riley or Spo said something innocuous that set his weird ass off?
