You name the player and I'll link you to a game where they shoot worse than 10-25.

Then show me if they were 4-8 from 3P, had 10 REB, 5 AST, 3 STL and kept your boy Derozan to an almost identical 10-23.

And look at what Butler did in the 4th and OT? Clutch.

As Top 10 players do.

7 for 20 last game too.

When they start losing because he struggles to hit shots you will be one of the first bashing Hoiberg for offensive schemes. I actually dozed off for a little while and just caught the tail end and got the state line on it.

Next time turncoat Wade wants to hang Hoiberg out to dry for being predictable remember that was the one telling guys not to move on offense. You could see him telling them to stand in the corner while Butler could launch the step back on Lowry.

Raising up over the midget Lowry no great shakes but it was a good shot. His one on one game is still rather average to mediocre at best though. Good at drawing fouls which is an asset unlike what you think.

Ability to draw fouls isn't an asset ?

You're diminsihing his shot by saying Lowry is a midget...but wouldnt that be the correct basketball play? Raise up on someone who's significantly shorter than you? What could he have done in that circumstance that you would have considered the proper thing to do

Butler is a franchise player....this year he is a TOP 10 guy.....probably finish 2nd to Harden as the MVP

"turncoat Wade" :lol:

Wade is a decorated three time champion and hall of famer. He has every right to call out an overpromoted, inept, unimaginative, emasculated "head coach" who couldn't scheme his way out of an empty parking lot.

It was the right thing to do. I just don't want Wade to be complaining about play calling and the Bulls depending on Butler too much. It is pretty obvious that after a year and a half of this iso Butler is just the way that Butler prefers it.

That is one of the reasons that I want him moved. Even if the Bulls acquire better players I really don't think the team will be much better. Butler will expect them to defer to him which means this style of play will continue.

Butler isn't going to automatically change his style of play because the Bulls have more talent. He established himself by playing this way so it's going to be difficult for him stop even if they acquire better players.
