Ask Bronny.

The 19 year old 2nd round pick in his first season only a year removed from a life or death heart scare? Sure, adept comparison lol. Try harder. Haslem went undrafted and went overseas after 4 years at Florida.

Haslem started 2 games in his last 8 years and only appeared in 102, or about 6% of the games over that span. 25 appearances over the last 4 years for a total of about 225 minutes. ASTERISK when compared to the other names on that list.

Well, that is .600 ball and when the #8 seed in the East is sub-.500 and the #4 seed is sub-.600 you certainly can gain ground playing .600 ball.

Not enough games vs the Hornets, Wizards, Jazz, Blazers left to keep that winning percentage. They are middle of the league in remaining strength of schedule (17th) so they can make up some ground, but they can't afford many more games lost to injury by their key players. Unfortunately, missed games are more or less expected for Embiid and George (less so Maxey).

A comparison of Udonis Haslem & Bronny is weird.

Looks like the conflict between Jimmy and Pat Riley is heating-up.


In this corner...a fella that's pretty much done everything in the NBA except be an all star during his playing days.

In that corner...a fella that won't win this conflict with PR.

I dunno. eaglesnut may be onto something. Not only does this Barry Jackson fellow sound like a real loser, he looks like a real loser. I think the best conclusion here is there's some loser status going on somwhere there so "Fuck Barry Jackson"

Crashing out at the end of your career looking for one last pay day is a bold strategy

Honestly to me the best take on this is why would you be surprised if you got bit by a snake? Jimmy Butler had shown his colors before. I have no time for just blaming the player in situations like that. If teams would quit rewarding bad behavior it might have a chance of stopping.

Exactly.

And honestly, Miami got a lot of Jimmy Butler.

Truth is he probably just can’t handle not being the best player on the team anymore.

That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out, what is he upset about. If it was not getting a contract in the offeseason why is it just now such an issue?

I already told you boy pay attention

Boy? Now that's a good one. What's wrong, you having another bad here here on the hoop-la? You clown yourself all the time and don't even realize it. It's one of the things that makes you funny.
