The Heat are just much better. Not getting a lot from the guards and they're still up 8

The Heat officially got to the ceiling I had them at this year.

Make it to the 2nd round

Only if you guys know how much I hate the Sixers

Not really looking like a 7-8 seed, 1st round fodder to me.

Agree. Its all a bonus from here.
Bucks prob beat us in but nothing will be easy for them. I’ve def seen bigger upsets.

No mention of Duncan's 1-7?

I kid...I kid. Nice win and sweep. Indiana missing Sabonis, but to sweep is very impressive.

IF this is true, OK, but for the series Butler was at 40.8% shooting and 19.8 PPG. Warren was at 47% and 20 ppg. Jimmy's team won because his bench was a tad better.

He is a much better defender and better team defense for Miami. Miami has the more talented roster and Butler, I think he isn't the best leader but Warren isn't much of a leader and wasn't expected to be the Pacers #1 option. Warren had a hell of a bubble but he kind went back to what he truly is as a player. Not much of a rival when they are different caliber players tbh.

I think Warren is getting a bad rap because he came down to Earth after playing like MJ for a few games. Not something that should be held against him IMO.

He's a very good player IMO. Elite? No chance. all star caliber though.

My initial comments were made as someone who likes Butler and has never been a critic of his.
