    Celtics were riding a wave all season long as a young team. (experience helps , and their center did not do his job in the locker room)
    End of the season they were already wilting , and by the time Butler showed up it was just a knife in the back roast.

    Miami is not a wonder team , and neither is Butler a super star.
    If butler was a super star he would have won something other that a pat on the back.
    Butler is a superstar and carried heavily in the last 2 games vs Bucks. Bucks win that series if Butler is simply great instead of historically great in those 2 games.

    Heat are making easy work of the Celtics who on paper are more talented than them. Heat have proven to be elite due to elite role player contribution, great coaching, and Butler's consistency on both ends

    Spoelstra has been running circles around the opposing East Conference coaches. Bud and Thib are single-system, non adjusting coaches, while Mazulla is simply out of his depth.

    Also the whole Heat team, both Butler and role players, seem to be on a crazy hot streak.

    Two weeks ago Curry was a loser and a fraud. Today the burden is too heavy on a superstar and you have to look at the bigger picture.

    OP is an absolute moron with the emotional makeup of a 13 year old girl.

    There is a lot of trolling in here but his posts seems serious, filled with rage and pain. It is both sad and pathetic at the same time.

    When OP tried to jump on the Tatum bandwagon everything just went downhill. Killed the Nets killed the Suns. Poor KD may be set to retire. If Tatum can make it through this he may enter the GOAT discussion.

    Interesting. So it's settled then. Jordan's Finals competition was indeed great.

    The game is decided on the court, not on paper.

    Agreed. It's one of the things that clueless casuals fail to realize.

    Yup basically this. People forget Spo is probably top 3 coaches in the game right now and not only in his adjustments, but his philosophy fits this group of players. It really is a pretty old school way of going about things defensively and reminds me of a poormans 2000s Pistons where basically anyone can switch and help. Ironically when Horford was younger, it allowed these Celtics to do the same but he can't anymore and we've seen for a couple years now how Celtics are much more mentally weak than some other teams and just try to overwhelm with talent. You can tell by watching, Heat don't really sweat and thus typically do quite well in the clutch.

    Hey creeper stalker who gives off serial killer vibes

    Thanks for the attempt at discrediting the OP.

    Currys teams have always been loaded with elite role players, just like the 90s Bulls. And the late 2000s Lakers

    These guys typically get the "carried their team" moniker because the 2nd option scored around 20ppg. But their teams were actually stacked and winning was not a great feat on those teams. Thanks for trying despite the low IQ.

    It's all relative.. Jordan had better 2nd option AND role players than any other team + the best coaching.

    OP predicted both the Suns and Lakers to destroy Denver.

    An arrogant retard is the worst kind.

    Shhhhh.... OP. Make another alt account.
