Miami Heat - What is happening? Were they a fluke?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

A closer doesn't mean a better player. Kyrie fans got it all confused. Embiid was their best player.

Im not just talking close

in the Raptors series

Jimmy averaged 22/7/6 on 44% being defended by Kawhi and Danny
Embiid averaged 17/9/3 on 37% defended and shut down by Marc

From games 2-6 when Philly went 3-2 Jimmy averaged 26/8/7/1/1 on 47%

youd have to be retarded to think Embiid is a better player.

Look at how Jimmy completely changed Miami when he went there and the struggle Embiid and Ben had the next season including a 1st round sweep when they were 1 shot away from beating the champs with Jimmy

Jimmy got the bum @zz Wolves their only playoff appearance post KG and they were a top 4 seed with him healthy. Look how shit the Wolves continue to be after he gone

nikka saying Playoff P, Lavine, Shitbrick, DMitch, CJ, Ben is better than Jimmy

They are better than him. Put them in similar situations with a great coach and great organization and they will reach the finals as well.

Paul George is miles better than Jimmy Butler. You are an idiot if you believe otherwise. So you are a GM and you have the opportunity to draft one player out of
Jimmy Bulter
Embiid
Ben Simmons
Devin Booker
Paul George
Donovan Mitchell
CJ Mccollum
Zach LaVine
Klay Thompson
Bradley Beal
Russell Westbrook

You are telling me with a straight face that Jimmy goes first?

[Axe]

They're not playing like the eastern champions they were last year lmao. I guess that loss in the finals must've been heartbreaking until now. I'm barely convinced they'll make the finals again this year even if iggy is a lucky charm.

As for the raptors i guess you can understand them because they lost the two veteran centers from their championship roster which are replaced by bigger men who are not proven yet.

[Manny98]

LeBron
KD
Kawhi
Giannis
AD
Harden
Doncic
Curry
Lillard
Jokic
Embiid
Ben Simmons
Devin Booker
Paul George
Donovan Mitchell
CJ Mccollum
Zach LaVine
Klay Thompson
Bradley Beal
Russell Westbrook

That's more than 10 and I am missing some

[k0kakw0rld]

So you are telling that you will take Jimmy Butler over Bradley Beal? Klay Thompson? Devin Booker? Russell Westbrook? Donovan Mitchell?

Is that right?

Um.. yes

You're going to act like Butler didn't just take a Heat team to the finals and had a atg finals performance basically single handedly took the Lakers to 6 games?

Heat got blown out by the Pistons last night and Butler didn't play so it's clear that the Heats struggles have little to do with him

Bruuuh everybody became a GOD in the bubble for some reason. Sit your ass down. Jamal Murray is also top 10 I will assume?

Jimmy benefited from a great system. However, when you a top 10 player I am expecting you to score more than 12 points in an elimination game. And it's ease to perform when nobody expects anything from you. Which is exactly what Miami was last playoffs.

A huge surprise

[Reggie43]

They were the 5th seed last year for a reason. Having a good stretch of games and winning the East and earning a trip to the Finals doesnt make them that much better than the other contenders in the conference.

Yh everybody became a god.... Apart from Trashcals garbage ass

[ImKobe]

Weakest Finals opponent of the last 2 decades, much worse than any team the 3-Peat Lakers faced.

[PeroAntic]

Jimmy Butler is not a top 10 player in the league.

You cant possibly be serious. Half the players you listed are not nearly as good as Butler. Curry is also a 'system player' and hes an all time great because of that. As for scoring 12 in an elimination game, when youre doing such an insane carry job and when youre a completely team oriented player, that can always happen and it doesn't mean by any means it was a bad game anyway. its something only a boxscore watcher can say.

Why?

And how would that work, considering the 2020 Lakers are clearly better than the 2000 Lakers, yet both finals went 6 games.

Oh my, big yikes.

[RRR3]

Team isn’t very good without their best player. Shocking I know.

[tpols]

Of course it was a fluke. They had +6000 odds last year to win the title. They're one of the worst Finals teams of all time.

For reference everybody would say the 2003 Nets were a weak Finals team and they were +1100.
