Meh. Fake injury for the cameras. He'll be on fire again next game and will showboat his a** off again. I wouldn't feel sorry for this dude if he sustained a compound leg fracture.

Can't wait until after this series when it's finally revealed what injury Jimmy's been playing through, and all you Jimmy haters eat some serious crow.

I give up on the Herro thing. Seems he's not close at all. I don't think he plays even if it goes 7.

If Herros not stinking it up in the playoffs, he’s injured. Always one or the other

Instead of assuming, as we can never truly know, think it’s best to assume that they’re all doing their best and appreciate their efforts. We’re all just human after all


You can see it on the court with the level of effort. I saw way too often Miami players just throwing their arms out for defense instead of trying to stop players. For example how Butler escorted Gordon to the FT line from half court to give up an easy dunk, there were multiple players there that didn't give the same effort as they did earlier in the playoffs. It's easy to see if you're looking for it.

I don't care about stats too much during the games although they are something to talk about, for winning or losing I care about the force/energy Miami is playing with and when they're playing with force/energy they usually win, when they don't it's sometimes it's not even close. Playing with effort/force is the complete difference in Butler's game before and after the all-star break, it's odd that others don't easily see this.

Butler is hurt, man. Who are you to question HIS effort level? Have you ever tried to do something and your body just wouldn't cooperate?

There are no 'Jimmy haters' here just like there's no Bam haters. People just want to see our stars play like stars. If he's really that hurt, then his minutes should be managed better so he can go full speed for shorter bursts. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. Jimmy himself has pretty much said the same - nobody cares about injury excuses at this point.

They needs to stay on Jokic and be PHYSICAL, make it unconfortable for him to shot or try to drive to the basket. We can not allow Jokic to get the ball near the basket and have a smaller player on him. That is too easy for him. This will also allow us to rebound better and will allow Bam to guard Gordon.


Imagine if the key to stopping Jokic all along was more Zeller and Yurt minutes. Can't believe Spo hasn't thought of trying that yet. Such an easy game lol.

I wouldn't want to throw the nuggets into an early bonus by being overly physical with all our bigs. Murray would FEAST.

Nah, I gotta be a hater.

BTW... here's Butler "hating" on the Heat saying they need to come out with more energy and effort... that's weird or quite possibly true?

If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that the cursed image of worm Herro will surely lead us to this improbable championship.

Welp, officially no Herro for Game 4. Not really surprised, but still sucks.

I'll gladly gamble and take 10 min of whatever Herro can give if that means 10 less min of Strus.
