Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 2) Boston Celtics

Even though butler is scoring more. Tatum is still out playing him with his playmaking and overall play.

Butler has had higher peaks in this series but on average Tatum has been better.

Well duh. We all know it's impossible for Tatum to ever not be the best at everything on the court.

Go with white and grant over smart and rob in 2nd half

They been better majority of playoffs it seems

Smart has been fantastic.

You are way wrong on this.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Guess I'm just now noticing it

Yeah with covid still kind of a thing you think he would sit out. Maybe just a sore throat or something but he has sounded different lately.

That has been the case when he's facing Durant/Giannis/butler

You know the 3 best players in the east?

Tatum is the best in the world baby, get up to speed.

He outplayed Giannis in 4/7 wins, humiliated Durant, now he's about to eliminate butler on his home court in a game 7

He has had a nice bounce back game I'll admit. But round 2 and 3 overall i still stand by what I said. Although smart played like an all-star round 1

C’s gotta keep this energy up for 4 quarters

Yup they do that they are good

 

[AD2022MVP]

I wouldn’t. He can’t defend. That’s why he’s not in the playoff rotation. If the Heat are going to come back they have to do it with their defense.

Herro is terrible right now and his defense isn't much better.

Stats are pretty equal. Both struggling from 3. Both playing solid defense but Butler is the better defender. It’s close-no clear cut better player. Jimmy had the best game of the series to this point

 

[AD2022MVP]

I would make Strus play 40+ minutes if Herro isn’t up for the task. Dellavedova style, cramping after the game

That's an acceptable option if you don't have any confidence in Duncan robinson.

 

[thunderc]

Tatum’s mother can’t possibly think as highly of Tatum’s game as @Kawhi_2_Tatum does.

All this talk of Moms people better keep an eye out for Delonte

 

[Shanemansj13]

He outplayed Giannis in 4/7 wins

No. His team played better

 

[msgkings322]

Sorry @bksballer89 it doesn't look like the miracle will happen. Tell Udonis Draymond was right.

Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Herro is terrible right now and his defense isn't much better.

I agree sit Herro but that’s more minutes for Strus and Vincent and Oladipo not Robinson.

 

[msgkings322]

That helps! 6 points quickly, down to 9...

 

[Manster7588]

Damn damn damn

He has had a nice bounce back game I'll admit. But round 2 and 3 overall i still stand by what I said. Although smart played like an all-star round 1

Smart had a seemingly severe ankle sprain in game 3, came back in minutes later and only missed 1 game.

He is probably just now getting his legs back under him.

And you calling to bench Smart is clearly wrong

 

[Shanemansj13]

Butler the best player on the court by far right now

 

[msgkings322]

Butler hasn't rested once yet. Gonna probably run out of gas in the 2nd half.
