I can’t stress enough how much i love Butler’s phuck you mentality. This is why he’s a menace in the playoffs.

Didn't he say Wade was his favorite player? I feel like there's a reason why I actually like him compared to other hyped young players lol

KAT is annoying. Wanted him earlier. Not any more. Too big of an ego for a guy who has done nothing in his career.

Embiid and Jokic can actually back it up. KAT kannot

Just finish watching this game. This is how I want Herro to play. Be a scorer/finisher not a play maker/ballhandler

As good as he is, he has heart and/or pride on the basketball court which leads to winning basketball. I was pretty much sold on his offensive ability but everything he did to get that block on Butler was special, it was more then just a good block, people need to appreciate how and why that play happened. Rubio deserves kudos too for actually defending and slowing up Butler to allow a teammate to help stop the play.

2 1/2 minutes left, down by 9, Butler knocks the ball away for a steal. Edwards is actually leaning towards his own basket. He could have just let Butler get the easy 2, conserved his energy with nobody blaming him, Edwards saw Rubio starting to sprint back so he braced himself from the court in a way to quickly change directions, he read the play of Rubio slowing up Butler and was able to time his jump to cleanly block Butler.

Here's the situation Edwards was in and could have just let the play go, Butler has momentum going the other way, Edwards still is leaning towards his own basket with both hands on the court, Rubio didn't give up on the play and neither did Edwards...

Image

Here's right before the block happened, Edwards sprinted back, based off what he was seeing was timing his block on Butler...

Image

And here's the block, if you notice he not only is blocking the shot but he also times it where he goes right behind Butler to not foul him. Edwards did not run full speed to get the block, he sprinted and timed the whole thing, that is special. Special that he was able to get the block and special that he was the #1 pick whose team was 9 down with less then 3 minutes left yet made the hustle play to put himself in a position to stop a basket.

Jimmy pretty much just urinated on any glimmer of hope some Mia fans had of an off-season KAT acquisition.

Personally I think D-Lo is more viable for Mia even before last night’s clash of words between Jimmy n Kay.

Given Mia’s PG question, and the team’s fascination with players who unconsciously hurl up 3’s, and the whispers out of Minny that they make look to tear down the team and build around Edwards, I somewhat expect to hear D-Lo rumors to ramp up in the off-season.
