So the closing lineup was Jimmy, Bam, Caleb, Duncan, Lowry. It's insane because that lineup was the original "plan" for the season that everyone though was too small and its been insanely effective against the Bucks, who might be the biggest team in the league.
I doubt Spo mixes it up now, but it might be time to make that our starting unit.
- Need to reconsider that double on Giannis during pick n rolls with Brook. Giannis is always finding Brook for an easy dunk
- Bam seems to be injured, but keeps playing. That could be the reason why his performance is so-so. If this is true, then are in trouble if we will just rely on Jimmy to carry us every game
I bow down in the presence of greatness. Jimmy is absolutely carrying us now.
But, maybe the one way the rest of the team did contribute was team D. The shooting pecentages of Middleton, Portis, and Holiday were all down. And that, plus Masterclass Jimmy, was enough to squeak by.
I hesitated for years to consider him the best ever. That changed in the last year or so. I’ve never seen a player that can dominate like him after 20 years. He could play a good 2 or 3 more years at a high level if he chooses to.
One of the things that i had noticed was Jrue’s defense was not allowing Jimmy to go right and always forcing Jimmy to go left. He’s forcing Jimmy left since scouting reports say he’s inefficient going left but the problem with that was Jrue was getting left behind in pick and roll setup or just by Jimmy drving left. If Jrue “jumps in front of Jimmy” like what some bucks fans says then Jimmy will go to his strong side which is the right. And he’s strong so he’ll just bounce Jrue off of him. There is really not much a bucks defense can do unless they treat him like Giannis and throw a wall at him and force the Heat’s “other guys” to beat them.
And Duncan' 3 point made in previous games were huge coming to game 4 because it affected the bucks mentality in defense that they cannot ease up on him so some of them cant provide some help defense and sometimes the bucks gets distracted when duncan run offball.
Just continue the pressure and stay hungry and heat will win this. Hopefully Jimmy still have some left in the tank to finish game 5 because this kind of remind me of the Butler performance in game 5 of the lakers finals that he was too tired to play game 6 efficiently.
The other members needs to step up especially Gabe.
Your analysis is spot on. Hope, Jimmy is cooling off on some tropical Island to get ready for game 5. Duncan's prior performance bothered the Buck's defense so much so that he was not allowed to touch the ball. Taking him out meant his guy could not offer help defense against any other Heat player.
Their failure was that they didn’t trap Jimmy at half court. I would taken a chance if I was the Bucks of playing 4 on 3 especially seeing the heat supporting staff didn’t generate much on offense
Really hoping we get pass Milw. very much possible now. they'll be desperate next game and that would be an epic disaster if Heat able to get it done on their home court. JB will not have another 50 piece, at least next game (40+ would still be nice lol) but the rest needs to show up big. im looking at you, Max. maybe Gabe and Kyle too with the usual Caleb and Dunc. pls preserve Jimmy's game and advance. Lets Go Heat!!
big props to turtle caleb and playoff dunc great job complementing butler.can somebody please check the # of steps the greek takes on these euro moves.seems he travels all the time.tired of greek getting every friggin call nba
Playoff Jimmy is a sight to behold.After the year that we had and how meh we were in the playin tournaments I was not very confident in our heaters.I thought that playoff Jimmy was blowing smoke up our azzes about his playoff prowness.I was thinking that if we win 1 game we were lucky.During this series against the bucks playoff Jimmy came out of the tunnel and showed the world that he is a top of the line player.He scored at least 30 in each game but last night against Giannis and brook he turned in the top 4 performance of all time.eventhough he was injured.go to Milwaukee and ear some deer in our next game.Eventhough the NBA has the officials and Secaucus are giving the bucks every cheat possible we prevailed.
One of the very best individual playoff performances I have seen since watching the NBA back in the days of Jerry West and Bill Russell. The Heat are definitely David vs Milwaukee's Goliath. Oh well. We all know how that ended. Tell me again how the so-called experts kept Jimmy Butler off the 2023 All-Star team. Bam seems like a shell of the player who was demanding to be named Defensive Player of the Year just a few months ago. No way he can match up with players like Lopez, Embiid, Jovic and the other "monster centers" in the NBA. Bam is a natural power forward. Period. All that aside, I am so very stoked about the warrior mentalities of Jimmy and this year's team. They may not be the most talented team in the playoffs, but they have the biggest hearts. It's not even close! GO HEAT!!!
JIMMY FREAKING BUTLER! HE SHOULD OF GOT CLUTCH PLAYER OF YEAR OVER FOX!. We have the most injured team In the playoffs and he put the team on his back and scored almost half our points!. HIMMY BUTLER IS AN ASSASSIN LIKE JORDAN AND KOBE. He has the 4th highest scoring game in playoff history.... let that sink in

Im a little sad we can't get more stories, writeups about that Butler game here. But here's a good one...

On Wednesday, the Bucks will definitely play an ABB game - anybody but Butler.

True warrior. No one else in the NBA has that warrior mentality like this Jimmy Freaking Butler guy.
If there's another guy please someone remind me.
LeBron James.

Bam was an all star this year. If he could just put up his season averages it would be all Jimmy needs.
Where's Robin?
I thought we had that settled by Bam's play this season but he's struggled down the stretch and so far this playoffs.
He's putting up decent numbers but not his season average.
He's fighting two 7 footers and Portis so it's tough.
Your analysis is spot on. Hope, Jimmy is cooling off on some tropical Island to get ready for game 5. Duncan's prior performance bothered the Buck's defense so much so that he was not allowed to touch the ball. Taking him out meant his guy could not offer help defense against any other Heat player.

The Good:
1.Jimmy's offense for 4 qtrs and Heat's defense in 5 minutes and 6 seconds.
2.Heat's efforts on the boards matched that of the Bucks.
3.Spo's flexibility in using a 10 man rotation kept bodies fresh.
4. Duncan got some respect from the Bucks' defense, sometimes your reputation makes you a target.
The Bad:
1.Gabe Vincent's fouls were inexcusable.
2.If the refs were not soft on the Bucks, Holiday and Lopez should have been in foul trouble long before Middleton.
The Ugly:
1. Those turnovers looked ugly. Bam got two in succession in one series.
The Good: Amendment
1.A. The Heat won although they were down by 13 going into the 4th quarter.
1.B. The Heat won although they were down by 12 points with less than 6:00 minutes remaining.
1.C. The Heat won although the 2-4 scorers had 15, 12 and 10 points respectively.
1.D. The Heat won because Jimmy, the Heat players and the Heat fans didn't quit for one minute.
Really hoping we get pass Milw. very much possible now. they'll be desperate next game and that would be an epic disaster if Heat able to get it done on their home court. JB will not have another 50 piece, at least next game (40+ would still be nice lol) but the rest needs to show up big. im looking at you, Max. maybe Gabe and Kyle too with the usual Caleb and Dunc. pls preserve Jimmy's game and advance.

Beyond real. Words cannot describe this … period. Keep the coffee flowing!
I was waiting all game to Heat fell of the cliff, and then this happens. Unbeliavable.
That was a performance of the career for Jimmy, and a clear proof, that he is among the greatest players in the league.
Its clear, that Bucks are by far more talented team and still a favourite in this series, but its not important. Heat is a team with far more heart.
im speechless...tears of joy! GO HEAT! thank you so much mr. Butler sir! we are all indebted to you

Let’s not forget that we nearly lost to the Bulls in the final play in game. Now we are 1 win away of an upset. Sports is unpredictable.
