Hall of Fame players like Jimmy Buckets make up for a lot of deficiencies.

Not in Chicago, Minnesota, or Philly he wasn't.

So Miami didn't win because Butler sucked in Minnesota?

The difference was more due to Hall Of Fame coach Erik Spoelstra and not Butler. Jimmy Butler has never been a superstar player. Which is what YOU always claim that it takes to win.

Didn't you bump a thread critiquing me for saying coaching matters? You were always one who said talent rises to the top regardless of coaching. Now you wanna say coaching matters because you have issues with butler. Who you crapping bro.

What I stated is that coaching cannot make up for a shitty roster. Miami has another All Star on its roster (which conveniently gets overlooked with all the Butler fawning that goes on here) and is hardly what you would consider crappy. And as previously stated, you don't have to be overly talented in order to win in today's NBA. Which Miami proved last year

Buckets is a gamer. Disliking him is like disliking Caruso. It's not possible.

Here's the scenario. 12 years ago, LTG got into some back and forth about Jimmy and so he dug his heels in. 12 years later, just like Trump, he can't forget.

He's laid down quite a bit in his career. He also was a Jayson Tatum injury away from blowing a 3-0 lead to Boston also. And truth be told, the Bulls roster that everyone thinks is so garbage was 3 minutes away from knocking the Jimmy Butler led Heat out of the playoffs. With a better coach they would've

Only if he doesn't trade Derozan. He has to move Derozan now.

Good coaches can really elevate talented players like Coby White. On the other hand there’s no helping dogshit bums like PAW.

The same thing was said about Lauri Markannen too. And as we "see" Billy D really "helped" him didn't he?

And there is nothing about Patrick Williams stats which suggests he's "dogshit" either. Just one those patented CFMB narratives that takes on a life of its own

AK needed to be fired a year or more ago, but now will do.

The amazing thing is that Reinsdorf Jr conducted an "exhaustive", months-long search for a new vice president of basketball operations, and this is the guy who stood out to him. He's worse than the McCaskeys.

They were No.1 in the conference for about half a season 2 years ago. Hardly "non competitive". He's made some mistakes. None bigger than extending Billy D.

Also one fun 40 game stretch out of 200 some games isn't good.

"Sparked". A guy that has never participated in a playoff game really doesn't "spark" much of anything. And regardless it makes no sense to claim that a team that was in first place was "non competitive"

All I care about is the young guys. Big test for Coby against an elite defense.

Karl-Anthony Towns seems like he’s been around forever, yet he’s only 28.

What a crazy 4th quarter.

Coby brought them back, and DeMar won it.

LTG, thoughts?

Sure. You might as well be a Jesse White tumbler with all of the flipping that you do

May I ask, how did The Flaw look last night?
