Where you at Butler? Step up dude

[DorianRo]

Game 2 of the ECF was the last time you showed up to play? How do you put up 50 plus against the Bucks then turn to bench warmer status? You're not old like me. You should be able to carry one team to a title just on your talents and abilities.

[Young gun 6]

He ain’t Bron.

They need Herro back to take some load off.

did you skip Game 7 of ECF?

28 points on 28 shots? Game 7 was the caleb martin show.

Caleb carried that game. A nobody. Why can't Butler be the superstar hes supposed to be so role players don't have to carry the load?

[Jfh20]

I think butler just isn’t good enough.. he’s a conplimentary piece… but he is not a superstar.. just a good hard working player..

[TunaFish]

He is being guarded by KCP and Gordon.

[Bornstellar]

Because he isn't HIM

[LakersLegacy]

His staying calm and guaranteeing it will improve got him to as many Finals as Karl Malone and more than Barkley.

He is outmatched. The only hope the Heat have is to play bigger with the bigs. They won’t win it all playing small

Lmaoooooo

[ThunderBolt]

Butler is as good as anyone on the planet for a one game, winner take all if he’s rested. However he’s old. Like the country song, “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once, as I ever was.”

[Statlanta]

He's got to average 35 and guard guys 2 inches taller than him, while also switching onto the best player in the world.

Tall task.

OP is ignoring that Miami's supporting cast shot terribly for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. They went for a combined 2-23 from the field.

Where are Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, and Max Strus? Step up dudes.

He has led a cast of 4 and 5 options and Bam Adebayo, who's choosing to play well every 3rd game at this point, to the NBA Finals. At some point it catches up with you. The series obviously isn't over but Denver is just flat out a better team from top-to-bottom. The Heat's run through the Bucks. Knicks, and Celtics was super impressive. Butler deserves credit, not scorn.

P.S. Having said that, he played like crap in game 1. I have no doubt he'll turn it around.

Yes.. And that should be where Butler says "screw this.. My time fellas!"

Even if Butler scores 35, Miami loses anyway for Game 1. Denver laid off the gas pedal late in the 4th quarter. That's why the final score is closer than actual game was.

Wow this board turns on players fast lmao

[Medbrat]

Wow this board turns on players fast lmao

The board was fast to proclaim him Jordan and superstar, now the board is fast to take it away. I say fair.

[GusFring]

He hasn't been great for a while, needs to play less passive but he's hurt probably. Heat are looking screwed.
