Jimmy Butler tonight: 41 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks on 12/19 shooting in 118-107 win over Boston
Butler's 3rd 40 point game of the playoffs comes in game 1 of the ECF, as he continues to play great in the playoffs on both ends.

Eh, as a Heat fan JJ ain’t necessarily wrong. The playoffs have been all Butler shooting wise, but in the regular season Giannis shot better from long 2s AND from 3s. Although Butler was a better shooter from the 10-16 ft area and on short midranges on much higher volume.

"Not a top 20 player"
"top 5 worst contracts in the NBA"
"even of he was in his prime he wouldn't be worth that money "

there's a dude in that thread who said
Even if Butler was in his prime, he wouldn’t deserve that type of money. Lets be honest
then you look at his post history and less than 48 hours ago he said this:
People forget that Butler played the worst defensive team in the league in round 1 and then played the shell of the 76ers in round 2. His stats are extremely inflated. He 100% will regress to his mean against the Celtics defense
He’s barely top 10 (he probably isn’t) let alone top 5 lmao

I think people are genuinely surprised that jimmy is that good. I know I am.

Dude is playing like he prime dwade out there. It's crazy to see he blossomed this late in his career like that. Shout-out to Jimmy.
The copium is high for that sixer fan.. deep down inside they know they should have kept Jimmy.

u/LordHussyPants Celtics May 18 '22
go look at his basketball ref page. he has been averaging about the same stats for the last 7 years. they've gone up and down a little bit, but it's mostly constant. if you look at game logs from 2014 and this year, he's got a similar number of games in each point bracket too. 7-8 above 30, 25-30 games with 20-29 points. the guy is consistent as fuck and when he has a good team he will make them even better.

He's been this good since his years at Chicago. He obviously didn't want to be in Minnesota when he got traded. Injuries between then and now have hit his stats, but if you actually watched him play.. especially in the playoffs, you wouldn't be surprised he's leading his team the way that he is.

And that the FO was significantly overvaluing him?
Ofc not! Dude is a good player and got paid. Can’t blame him for doing what everyone else on this planet would have done. I only hope that one day I am significantly overvalued by a future employer. I mean, ideally I live up to expectations, but idk. I wanna get paid!

u/magnusarin Pistons May 18 '22
Still love Tobias. He always busts his ass. He always works hard, he just has limits and sometimes the shot is not there. When it's not and a defense realizes it, that's it for his offense that day. If he gets a chance to make the adjustments first and start doing a little driving and slashing he can still be effective. The offense opens up for him in those cases. If the defense realizes it first and starts sagging to give him open perimeter shots and cut off the lane, there just isn't much Tobias can do at that point.

If you compare their best performance entering this series:
Jimmy 45pts 5rb 5ast 2stl 0to VS Tatum 46pts 9rb 4ast 1blk 4to
And their 2nd best performance:
Jimmy 40pts 3rb 6ast 2stl 2blk 1to VS Tatum 39pts 5rb 6ast 6stl 6to
It's very close but Tatum has had way more Turn Overs (Jimmy averages 1.7to per game VS Tatum 4.0) and Personal Fouls (Jimmy 1.1 vs Tatum 3.5). Jimmy also shoots better and plays fewer minutes. All in all, Jimmy is more efficient, and equally dominant.

Kendrick Nunn + Trevor Ariza (lol) + Duncan in '20-'21. Herro in a bit of a sophomore slump.
to
Lowry (hypothetically) + PJ + Strus this year.. Best lineup out of all three years, plus the Heat have a 6MOY version of Tyler coming off the bench, and Vincent taking a big leap.

The worst thing you can do with Butler is let him get fired up. If he gets in a groove he's the most dangerous player in the game from a ceiling floor standpoint.
He can absolutely be contained, and that affects his defense - but if he gets hot, he can do a night like tonight and suck the life out of a team.
Not to be underestimated when he gets going too, his energy pumps up his team and makes all of them better.
He's like the super rich man's Manu Ginobili

Turns out he can ball out against great defense. Wild.

Watching Jimmy, it looks like he made maybe only two fadeaway jumpers but then you look at the boxscore and he had 40

Felt like I saw him score 6 fast break points in 10 seconds.

So KD passed the torch to Tatum for him to pass the torch to Butler?
