How do you not have Jimmy Butler up there?

He's the answer by far. No one else really comes close. That was worse than ANYTHING Paul George ever did.

In terms of biggest drop from regular season production I'd say Randle dude's shooting 20/73 from the field in the series.

Randle. Wondering if the near max capacity of fans returning vs playing in empty gyms has affected him, he has taken double teams like this all season long.

Randle is a better answer than Jimmy, idk what people are smoking here. The topic should be top 5 worst performers, because top 1 is clear as day

Who? Talen Horton Tucker?

If you were expecting something from a 2nd year, 20 year old, you may have been overrating him a bit and need to adjust your opinion on him.

***Nominate: Davis Bertans. The Wizards could have gotten as much production from putting 80million dollars in a pile and setting it on fire, than playing Bertans.

Gotta be Porzingis for me, he should be averaging 20/10 and 2 blocks a game instead he's almost unplayable.

Everyone that watches basketball knew Kemba was fool's gold and just an average point guard, not a star.

Lebron. He always takes it easy in the 1st round but this time it is different. The way he played yesterday was unacceptable. Wonder if he can take over next game the way he took over as usual. He seems like a level or two below his max,which may be a result of his age and recent injury.

Randle of the guys listed there, but that was always the thing with Randle -- Thibs created a miracle season with a guy nobody else seemed to want as a star. It was always going to be an open question how that was going to translate into the playoffs.

But the guy you conspicuously, and I have to imagine intentionally, left off was Jimmy Butler. Because he's so eternally overhyped, because people start HOF threads about him, because they wanted to pantheon him just last year, it's the only answer. That wasn't some surprise guy coming to earth, that was a rgm darling not getting it done as his team was swept by a team they beat just last year.

Porzingis...it's hard to be disappointed in Porzingis anymore.

Randle can’t handle the bright lights. Once fans came back. He turned back into the Randle from last season

Herro I sort of get, he already showed up so the expectation is he should have again.

THT is a bit weird though... Just because he was tied to the Lowry trade?

How is Butler not on the list? Pandmic P had a better playoffs last year compared to Butler. Im sure we will hear Butler request a trade as soon as the season is over because something is clearly up.

I suppose, but Jimmy Butler was a much bigger disappointment. My expectations for Herro are low. I don't consider him to be a good player, but more so a "solid" player.

I will go with Jimmy Butler. Considering how the league doesn't value big men, and how Jimmy is forever loved, Jimmy gets my vote. Miami has a great deal of problems within their locker room and Jimmy is the leader.

Randle and New York are still growing as a team. Atlanta has been effective on defense enough to contain him.
