I concur. I have nothing but respect for Jimmy Butler‘s game. Not at all a fan of Lowry though, because of all his antics and complaining to the refs. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize how good of a player he has been for a long time. But he resorts to a lot of cheap stuff in order to get calls.
And I agree about Bam as well. At least 2/3 of the screens that he sets are illegal. But he rarely gets called for them.
Had to look it up, but Butler was a 2 star player coming out of high school. He was ranked as the 73rd best player in Texas. He had little interest from Division 1 schools and went to community college for his first year.
He is a great NBA player. I wonder whether colleges just mis evaluated him when he was in high school or whether he really stepped up his game.
The problem was that Horford and Smart were missing from the start and Tatum kept passing. Sure Miami played good defense but Tatum played right into it by leaving his feet and blindly spinning into double teams. To be fair to Tatum, Brown was worse and when he struggles it puts more pressure on Jayson. I was just shocked he didn’t shoot more perimeter shots that he can get any time. He simply refused to shoot after the first few minutes of the 3rd quarter despite his teammates (other than White) struggling. Hopefully he is more alpha in game 7 and his team doesn’t sleepwalk the whole game again.
Slow start for the Heat at home tonight. Kind of surprised me.
They look completely outclassed.
Prior to game six of this series, I was going to predict that not only would Boston win this series, but they would win the championship.
I still think that is what is going to happen.
Home teams are 2-4 (looking like it could be 2-5) in this series. I did not expect that to happen.
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Only way Miami gets back into this is if Tatum shoots Boston right out of the game. He has really put up some stinkers in the last few minutes.
Boston let Miami back into the game in that second quarter. I think Miami rolls in the third and fourth and wins by at least 10.
