ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

i feel like holiday makes that shot in every big playoff game

this is so crazy lol

holy fuuuuuuck

jfc

jimmy!

I love Butler.

jimmy game is all-time

lovecraftian cosmic horror short story but it's about the miami heat in a playoff series

The Heat Beyond Space and Time

jimmy is an absolute killer. i’m slackjawed.

this is insane lol

two straight seasons now butler has put up one of the 10-15 best playoff games of all time against the 1 seed

i'm so fucking bummed out right now. this was our last year.

heat busting the ilx bracket

incredible the bucks were coasting to a comfortable win

wait lol the heat were the one seed last year. boston was the spiritual one seed…

butler has been phenomenal

Jimmy Butler has 53 points and 9 rebounds and it might not even be his best playoff game in the last calendar year.

was just thinking about that

i've decided the play-in is good now

just gobsmacked here, the Heat were the #25 offense going against the #4 defense and they set offensive records in all 3 wins

crazy shit

I am going to say it for the rest of my life: how did the Sixers let Butler get away.

jimmy is a chaos agent

fuck shit fuck fuck fuck absolute fucking fuck

Jimmy Butler put on the best performance this Playoff season scoring 56 points against the Milwaukee Bucks and ushering the Heat to a 3-1 Series lead!

ushering!

can't wait to be on the edge of my seat for 3 straight games so I can inevitably watch Duncan Robinson go 8-for-9 from 3 in the deciding game

whatever. hands off to Butler, can't imagine how cool that must've been to watch for non-Bucks fans

wait. I mean hats off

rats off to ya

butler has cooked jrue all series. he scored on giannis & brook multiple times tonight. killed middleton to the point of fouling him out.

i am surprised they didn’t throw doubles at him tbh. maybe they were reluctant to in miami bcuz the role players are gonna shoot better but if i’m bud in game 5 i’m treating butler like he’s embiid

so many players on the Heat are shooting way above their averages, I can see why he's not I guess

once again pausing to reflect on the fact that the heat acquired jimmy butler for josh richardson and a first round pick

god is great

youd think both jrue and middleton would be good if not perfect defenders for jimmy but i guess it just doesnt matter right now

espn nba rank had trae young and karl anthony towns ranked ahead of butler at the beginning of the season

xp their reluctance to put giannis on him was puzzling… length is what bothers butler. i’ll never fault a coach for putting jrue on the other team’s best player but butler can take jrue into the post and pump fake and shoot over him. middleton i think is just not good enough

they like to let giannis roam doesnt seem like they ever use him as a perimeter stopper which idk why not

Just finished and just wow man incredible stuff if you don’t like that you don’t like nba basketball

i didn't like that

lol

feel like they’ve made an organizational decision to save giannis for offense and then they don’t play great offense so idk how well it’s working

82 game players vs 16 game players

one of the knocks on budenholzer is he just doesn’t make adjustments like that, he sticks to the game plan. idk

advanced stats have always liked butler even in the reg season...hes consistently in like the top 15 in the bkref metrics

also he's a strong hater

ya I kind wondered how it's possible Butler just gets so much better in the playoffs but his regular season numbers are pretty good too
