Bucks might be unbeatable this year. Getting some 91 Bulls vibes from them. Like Giannis is about to move to the highest tier of players.

Holymoly, just took a quick glimpse at the bucks/heat game. What the hell happened to the heat.

I would trade Butler for whatever I can get if I am the Heat. No wonder dude gets traded so many times.

You're a monster.

most likely true - but I didn't say that Cap and your teams deserve to be relegated to 2nd rate status. I just quoted it so you two didn't miss it.

Miami getting smoked. I wonder how this will effect their roster this off season?

I didn't watch most of the game. What'd he do?

I know people in Philly who really didn't want to see him go.

I’m wondering if Milwaukee can take Brooklyn, or if Miami is just seriously no where near their level that it makes Milwaukee look unstoppable.

Wonder if Milwaukee can play on an even level as Brooklyn.

He let a shot clock expire passing the ball under a second left. His body language is simply awful

We’re getting Jimmy Butler folks

Post #112 » by **mpharris36** » Fri May 28, 2021 2:05 am

Milwaukee matches up really well with the Nets too.

Giannis or Middelton on KD

Jrue on Harden

DD on Kyrie

they have really strong perimeter defense.

Would be a hell of a series.

Obi+19th pick for Butler?

Lonzo Ball — Derrick Rose
R.J. Barrett — Immanel Quickley
Jimmy Butler — Reggie Bullock
Julius Randle — DALLAS PICK
Mitchell Robinson — Taj Gibson

22’ Thibs Knicks defense >>>> 90’s Knicks defense

I don’t know. Butler looks toxic to me. Maybe Thibs can handle him. Did Butler and Rose ever been good together?

I don’t know if this is more the Bucks being amazing suddenly or Miami just imploding. Either way glad we didn’t have to play the bucks. Yikes

I feel like Bucks-Nets is gonna be the real Finals.

We're fortunate to be on the other side of the bracket. The Sixers might be the #1 seed, but I feel like they're a tier below these two teams.

Miami made a major mistake trading Olynyk for Oladipo, regardless of injury. Miami were at their best in last year's Finals with Olynyk on the floor. This Bucks-Heat series is showing how having two players on the court that can't shoot the 3 (Butler and Bam) can be crippling for your offense, especially if your 3-point shooters aren't hitting their 3s.

Bucks nets will be a phenomenal series..seen by 10 people

Olynyk used to kill it...he'd give them like 15 games straight of borderline all-star stats than spoelstra would inexplicably would start someone else

The only way we’d get Butler is if he demands a trade and demands it to the Knicks and even then the heat would try to fleece us

Chanel Bomber · Post #120 » by **Chanel Bomber** » Fri May 28, 2021 2:17 am

I don't like how Butler fits on this roster.

Him being a non-shooter from 3 will shrink the floor for Randle and muffle Randle's playmaking skills (Randle's best attribute).

Terrible fit imo.
