This is why you take the regular season seriously. We got the 1 seed and won 64 games and with butler out, this is as cake walk to the conference finals as I’ve seen. Would’ve swept the heat anyways with butler but the path is only easier now

At least ATL won their Finals earlier in that back-to-back against BOS.

I’m pissed he’s out to be honest.
Been convinced for months we are way better than them and wanted us to kick their ass with butter playing/

I'm not the only one who thinks the Cs will sweep the Heat.

Looking more and more it's Chicago vs. Miami.

Cs don’t have a history of playing down to competition and relaxing when other team doesn’t have their star(s) available. We got this.

Let me be clear, I dont like seeing any player injured at all. With that out of the way, it would be great if we dont have to hear about or be subjected to 'Playoff Jimmy' for the rest of the playoffs

Trae is just like any other trash volume shooter. If his shot is falling, he can bury you. If it isnt, he is just useless on the court once defence is taken into consideration

Not true, he's an elite passer.

Nah, "Playoff Jimmy" wanted no part of getting smacked by Boston that instead of taking an easy transition dunk or lay-up, he stopped, shifted his leg over so he could be injured and not accused of failing against or ducking Boston. Dude is all talk.

Heat and Celtics haters are now gonna use an excuse saying the Heat would’ve had a chance or would’ve beaten the Celtics had butler played lmao as if the Celtics weren’t one of the most dominant regular season teams in recent memory and Jimmy butler meanwhile has looked washed most of the season compared to last year when he made all nba second season.

Yeah but now we’re going to be subjected to an entire summer of the Heat would have won with Jimmy BS.

Against logic, I feel like he'll still play.
Spo should have benched him tonight, tho.

So either a no/hurt Jimmy Miami or no/hurt Caruso Bulls. We shouldn't lose more than 2 games til the ECF and that's being generous

Five guys can potentially be removed from this list.
Highest for Celtics is Brissett with 227 games.
