Awful takes. Huge cope. So the guy who's most known for upping his game in the playoffs were gonna look at regular season stats lol? And he wouldn't create more open looks for them? Thats just silly lol.

The irony.

He really elevated his play during the play-in game against the Sixers :lol: :lol:


Bro lol he got hurt in the first quarter. You probably didn't even know that. I know you guys are all upset cause Jimmy is trashing your weak teams but atleast get your facts straight.

I watched the game so I know. But he has had multiple terrible games in the playoffs, so to act like he always plays well is crazy.

And Heat are weak, they were getting knocked out round 1 whether they played us or the Celtics, we both improved our teams, you weren't beating us.

He might be right with Bam and the rookie injuring people

Jimmy with the strong King Julien vibes: "Look at me, everybody! I've got a crown! Just LOOK at me!!!" King Jimmy, ruler of the Lemurs... :lol:

Jimmy Butler.

3-4 good playoff series in his career and people act like he’s something.

I’ve never seen someone live off his reputation from so little. Average regular season player, playoff stinkers littered across his career including 14ppg on 29% shooting only 3 seasons ago.

Guy talks like he’s all that. Fact is, Herro and Bam carried him to the finals in the bubble and Caleb Martin/Gabe Vincent saved his ass last season.

When at his best, he’s an amazing player but he’s only at his best like 5% - 10% of the season.

Bbbbbbut they were the 8th seed and made the finals. Well, they shouldn’t have been an 8th seed with that roster to start with. A year removed from being the 1 seed with no major changes.

No chance Miami was beating Boston or New York this season. None

He embarrassed both teams last year with a bunch of scrubs (it was the second time he'd beaten Boston in the ECF). He's neither a talker nor delusional. He puts his money where his mouth is.


In the bubble vs Boston, he averaged 19 points on 43% shooting.

Herro 19/6/5 on 53% shooting.
Bam 22/11/5 on 55% shooting.

Those 2 were the reason Miami won. Jimmy was average at best.

As I said before, 3-4 really good series (Bucks series last year, Philly/ATL in 22, Lakers finals) in his career but overall, pretty average. People still haven’t figured that out yet though.

Imagine if any other top player averaged 14ppg on 29% shooting for a series in their prime. We’d never hear the end of it.

If Miami doesn't ship him out, I think there is a good chance they aren't even in the playoffs next year.

He has won no rings and think he is the best player in the world :)

Bet Miami are foolish enough to give him a max extension too :)

It took the Heat setting a franchise record in 3’s made just to win one game against Boston. The other 4 games they got pumped.

The most overrated player in todays game was not going to change anything.

He's honestly right. But thankfully the Celtics didn't have to play against him.

We don't need to talk about the year before that against MIL, though, or BOS the year before that, etc.


At the same time, if he had taken the regular season more seriously he wouldn't have had to play the play in and he would've been able to back this up.

That's not how it works. If they beat the Celtics, they'd will be waiting on if their Semis opponent was the Cavs or Magic.

But yeah, the Knicks would still be at home, preparing tp host Indy. That would have nothing to do with him though.

A part time star, who has constantly had the benefit of not being held to the same standards of true stars.

It's convenient for his ego he was yet again injured.
