I suppose it was just a matter of time and the expiration of the so-called "honeymoon" period for Butler to now bring forth the real Jimmy!

Lakers only need one win out of four to make the top 6 and avoid the play-in

If they win two, they're guaranteed the 3rd seed!

Have to think they win 2, they have to want that 3 seed.

Reaves best American white guy and he should also be Most Improved Player. I'm sorry, Cade Cunningham, #1 overall picks shouldn't win the MIP just because they start living up to their potential.

Four remaining games for LA: OKC, Dallas, Houston and Portland

OKC aren't going to "rest" any players against them tomorrow as they're hoping to keep HCA throughout the playoffs. I don' see the Lakers winning two in a row at OKC so i'm probably going to chalk this one up as a loss

Dallas could be interesting but they're definitely beatable.

Houston might hopefully rest their best players at this point if they've cemented the 2nd seed

Portland is very beatable

I can see a 3-1 here.

I'm ready for the playoffs to start. Should be multiple interesting match up's.

Most to a major injury, doesn't make him injury prone or your favorite word "soft".

Dudes built like a stick figure , soft as charmin

Gotta keep in mind who said that. He probably thinks the Earth is flat too.

Fair take

Thats racist Bill

You can’t shake those Boston roots…

Larry Bird at whatever age he is is still better than them all.

So is George Mikan!

The lack of aggressiveness I spoke about when he was in Miami. Happens too frequently in the regular season imo

LOL dude you know a lot about the NBA, think of why this might be happening. He's not the lead option anymore, on any given night Podz or Kuminga or Hield or whoever might be the #2 guy. Butler is doing exactly what he needs to do every night, he doesn't care about stats, only winning, and it shows with them having a 21-4 record with him playing with a "lack of aggressiveness"

He's even better than I thought now that I see him up close, he is very smart, good on O and D, can handle the point for some minutes, does whatever is needed. He's doing exactly what he should be.

You're better than this. I'm not saying he was that for you guys this year, he clearly pouted his way out the door, but you are just wrong about him on the Ws

Jimmy boy already bitching on Twitter lol

Link?

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah it’s time for the newness to wear off

Read my reply to bks, you are also better than this

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah that 21-4 record shows they don't know what they're doing

Would be a very bad move for a rebuilding team to pay to move Beal’s contract.

Just wait until it is expiring, or let it come off the books.

It may be worth it though if they were able to acquired a mountain of assets for Booker and KD, though. Getting five years younger from Beal to MPJ would be worth it if that were the case...
