Current version of Jimmy is inferior to 2017-18 Wolves Jimmy..his jumper was atleast ok that season..it looks broken rn which limits him a lot offensively. He is still skillful enough to get to FT line frequently but other than, he is finding it relatively tough to score.

And it’s only going to get harder for Butler, 32 and time is ticking.

He really should have stayed in Philly.

I was so surprised when he decided to sign with Miami..I just felt like Philly was perfect place for him...he doesn't need to take entire workload at Philly..can pace himself and not overplay during RS and could have been title contenders for next 3-4 years

It's refreshing seeing Taj Gibson actively box people out. Absolutely ridiculous we don't that on this team, I don't get the strategy.

Now Ben Simmons is getting killed. A lot of Sixer fans are looking to move him. I think he's pretty damn good but its really hard having a star PG who can't shoot in today's game, its kind of a death kneel.

Embiid may be hurt again. It's a shame because that's the one thing holding him back a lot, seems like he can't stay healthy consistently at all.

I absolutely HATE seeing Roco have to guard Jokic in the paint, that's child abuse!

Chris Paul with impact even when not playing. Obituaries on Suns might have been premature. Did panic tonight seeing Kenny Mauer creeping into screen and thinking the fix might be in.

The Brad Stevens situation is bizzare! Also Embiid has tear that will probably really mess him up for the rest of the season. Another playoff run ruined for him, I am really tired of these damn injuries messing things up. He has to be devastated.

do you guys remember the game was Hawks couple of seasons ago when RoCo missed a dunk in crunch time? That was also the game where Wiggins missed game tying FTs in the end and TC crowd booed him...RoCo's missed dunk in overtime yesterday reminded me of that match

Is anyone surprised though he is an injury prone made of glass type.

That’s a hell of a thing to say about a team with Damian Lillard. I’d say it’s more that they’re just a perennial 5-6 seed.

Seriously see Blazers going through a total rebuild with this one, shame they signed McCollum to that long-term contract, ouch.

What will the Blazers do from here? They really going to run it back?

The dream is a Jokic vs Embiid finals. My God that would be some heavyweight action and a big statement to the league that small ball sucks LOL.

Speaking of Embiid, I am very curious to see what Capela does with him. Capels absolutely owned KAT in that playoff matchup and he owned the Knicks. I know Emiid is bigger and stronger but I could see Capela causing some problems. That should be a fun matchup to watch!
