Steph's stats in games with Jimmy Butler:
- 13 games played (12 W, 1 L)
- 30.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 5.6 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.2 bpg, 2.8 topg
- 42.5% 3PT (12.3 attempts), 92.0% FT (6.7 attempts), 68.6% TS
Having another shot creator and playmaker that can create strong rim and foul pressure is huge. Steph is back to his best with Jimmy out there.

12-1 is better than 14-2 so no you didn't provide an example. We're all glad you mentioned your favorite player's team at the time though.

They're desperately avoiding the play-ins where they rightfully belong since he got to the bay.

No surprises that he hit the ground running. Jimmy is a gamer and a compliment to any playoff team until things stop going his way. Great piece for a short term run.
Once things start to go ary, he stops being worth his salt.

Butler is a drama queen and intrigant instigator, but he is also undeniably an extremely valuable player.
He plays defense, takes big shots and can play a perfect role with most teams.

Let's see GS get to 14 - 1 first in this stretch. Either way the example I provided is the closest one from recent years.

'08 Lakers technically did go 12 - 1 after the Gasol trade but he didn't play in the win against Washington. Warriors technically are 12 - 2 since the Jimmy trade but he didn't play in the loss against Philly.
Lakers ended up going 14 - 2 with Gasol in their first 16 games. Warriors are at 12 - 1 but the next 3 are against Kings/Knicks/Nuggets so they'll probably end up 14 - 2 as well.

Never did I think the Jimmy Butler would be the guy to help turn this GS team around. I thought he'd come in and be a cancer & fight with Draymond after about a week or two. With how close the 2-5 seeds are and GS lurking just outside, the Warriors could f*ck around and end up getting the two seed. :lol

Dray wouldnt want any smoke with a real tough guy like Jimmy. He picks on softer types.
It's crazy because Butler isn't even trying hard. He took 5 shots last night in a game that went to 130. If he still has that gear and turns it on Warriors could put up a real playoff fight.

A player shouldn't be AllNBA after a 55 game season. More than almost anyone Butler is taking advantage of getting his body well-rested. A lot of guys that don't have his impact would be a lot more impactful if they had taken 27 of 65 games off. Instead they put out more pedestrian (by their standard) performances but their teams need those performances.

He didn't take those games off his team Miami suspended him because they couldn't work out a contract. If anyone is taking advantage of the situation it's Miami who are going to be rewarded with a high cheap draft pick to go along with the three title runs Butler gave the team.

He had already missed several games before the suspension. Missing games is the origin of the rift between him and Riley to begin with. And he got hit with the suspension because he chose to walk out of practice. No sympathy.

I definitely think Tatum gets crapped on too much. He doesn't miss games, plays both ends, and is an elite player. Just because he isn't on the same tier as Jokic/SGA doesn't mean he sucks ffs.
I can only hope that the wizards are able to draft a guy who becomes as good as Tatum.

Lol if anything GS is too old to beat OKC. They are worse everywhere at this point. It would've been the greatest matchup of the era if the 25 Thunder could face the 15 Warriors.
I think GS can beat everyone else however. If they get lucky with matchups they sneak out of the West without facing OKC.

Shai leads the league in scoring at 33 ppg with a TS of 64.5%.
Tatum averages 27 with a TS of 59%.
Shai leads the league in win shares and WS/48. He has better advanced stats than Tatum across the board.
I thing the one area that Tatum lacks compared to SGA is that quick first step to get separation from a defender. Again this isn't a criticism of Tatum. Not everyone can be MVP.

What doesn't Tatum do that keeps him off SGA's level?
Average 32 points on 50%.
Tatum could outplay anyone on any given night. But when it comes to the MVP discussing the argument I would be making for tatum would be centered around the great numbers he's putting up on a great team. Well, SGA had numbers that are a better on a team that has more wins. So it's a losing argument, which is why I'm letting it go until and unless Tatum does something amazing for the rest of the season, which he would be running out of time to do.
And it's fine because the Celtics most important goal (championship) is still well-attainable. If porzingis can stay healthy the Celtics will be significantly better this playoff than they were last year.

It's looking good but there's still a few technical issues. Either way Himmy is fixing some major problems with this team like dumb TOs with Steph and Dray, slowing things down and getting to the FT line, adding another playmaker and another smart defender. Wiggins was a better POA defender than a 35 year old Jimmy, but since Jimmy has a much higher IQ, the overall team defense is better. Dray and him communicate a ton.
