Didn’t really know that rule myself.

Kemba not hurting Boston badly but not looking like a main player either.

not a top 10 guy in the league on either team


Top 10 is very subjective and it changes year to year really


we're talking about this year though


Again it's subjective. It's a team sport at the end of the day. If you got a top 10 player and then the next best player is a guy who is somewhere in the 20-30 range but another team has 3 or 4 top 20 guys even if nobody is in the top 10, who has the better team?

Both Boston and Miami have a lot of really really good talent. Boston doesn't even have Hayward out there right now and he's good enough to be a teams 3rd best player and on Boston he's like their 4th option. Marcus Smart is their 6th man and he would be the Lakers 3rd best player.

he was hurt. but also, he has no real winning playoff experience. he's mostly lost in his career.

so they win by committee, that's what i said. you asked why people overlooked them and said because they don't have one of the better players in the league. you're saying the same thing now.

Tatum has a decent handle but it’s not great. You have to force him to drive every time because his pull-up is so good and he’s a decent passer. But nah he’s not Luka.

No I said your top list is subjective. "One of the better players in the league" what? Some of the best players in the league are on display here. Maybe some guys are grossly overrated and some are underrated

i agree but you never know the future. he's progressing at a more normal rookie timetable. luka came into the league at such a high level.

I do love Butler always taking the opposing teams best player, doing a great job on Tatum late.

there's no list with jimmy butler or tatum in the top ten by anyone who makes these lists. you might disagree but in general, they're not considered that.
