Amazing how Butler has gone toe-to-toe with Lebron the entire series.

Didn't think he had this level in him.

Let’s not forget Jimmy is in his prime and Lebron is far past his prime.

I don't think Lebron is far past his prime at all.

He's still in his prime. It's just a very extended prime.

Can’t stand Dwight Howard. He’s become such a hack. Zaza Pachulia hack.

At what point are people going to apologize for their past Jimmy Butler opinions?

The thing is the media still isnt giving Jimmy Butler is true due. They gave him alot of props for Game 3. But the compliments are more back handed like it was a flash in the pan. But Jimmy this whole series has been Lebron James. They have been equal this series.

When this season is over, they will mention it every now and then next season, but the noise will drop really quickly. I dont care though. They cant take anything from Jimmy and his historic performance.

Great battle. I see the Heat pulling this out and then getting the dragon back

If it's within 5 points in crunch time, Lebron will find a way to take over and get the W. Heat need to be up at least 10 going into the last 3 minutes.

There's no world where Jimmy isn't FMVP, doesn't matter what happens from here on. LeBron and AD have to wait til next year.

Butler is an immense competitor.

What a player.

I think it goes 6 and maybe 7. Bam will come back and energize them for a game and they're bound to get hot and shoot lights out one game. I also think they have the defense and toughness to get at least 1 more.

I think it's unlikely they win but I don't think it's impossible.

It seems likely that Dragic is out for the series and Bam may or may not be out for the series. From what I read, it doesn't sound likely he'll play and if he can play, it also seems like he probably won't be 100%. This win was a superhuman performance by Butler and an awful performance by AD/LeBron.

Can't see that combination playing out again even one more time myself. Anything can happen any given night, so I wouldn't say anything is impossible, but I'd say I view the odds of Lakers in 5 to be more likely than all other outcomes combined with Lakers in 6 being more likely than all other outcomes other than Lakers in 5 combined.
Ie something like:
Lakers in 5 - 50% chance
Lakers in 6 - 30% chance
Lakers in 7 - 12% chance
Heat in 7 - 8% chance
Heat in 6 - 0% (or negligible chance)

Told ya it goes at least 6. Bam came back and they got hot from 3. It takes a lot to overcome 40 from Bron.

Game 6 will be interesting. I don't think the Heat will be hot from 3 or Bron getting 40.

Good defeats evil

That was great. Jimmy matching Lebron down the stretch and MIA pulling thru. That 3 by Robinson was huge as well. Looking forward to game 6.

Man oh man was that a fantastic game. Jimmy's body has to be utterly annihilated.

I think Jimmy has cemented himself as a top player now. I dont care what you rank him. The Man has 2 triples doubles in the finals. If that is a top 25 player, I will take that guy anytime.
