Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[art vandelay]

I wonder if Danny would move Smart and Morris for Jimmy if he's still around in December.

High chance of screwing up chemistry, but could also give them more firepower than Golden State.

I hope not, I think that team can challenge GS now, if they can stay healthy, that is just my opinion. Plus that team doesn't have any chemistry issues, and I feel Jimmy wouldn't fit.

Don’t matter. Dubs in 5

Lakers should have kept Deng for a couple more weeks. Thibs would have taken him for Jimmy straight up.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I see No Way of this happening but nobody expected GS either so who the hell knows

They just showed this graphic on The Jump...

clean set up

Jimmy Butler seems like a Miami Heat player, and has a close relationship with Dwyane Wade.

For the culture. KD will finally get some stans if he does this.

Hope all the best for Marcus Smart.

Jae Crowder's season was over before it even started last year when his mom passed.

My mom has to get check ups every 3 months to make sure she's in remission. Anytime something about somebody's mom comes up I lose it man. ****

played 2k19 last night and can't help but wonder how luke is going to make this work. i mean, they have tremendous depth in the wing/guard position. i was being conservative with minutes and i was still having a hard time finding ways to give ball, rondo, hart, svi and stephenson meaningful minutes.

otoh, the really need another body down there. mcgee and zu isn't going to cut it.

Sveezus and Lance aint playing

Not really sure what he brings to the table at this point, but whatever...

Starting PG

Lol @ harden. He'll never figure it out

Don’t think you’ve figured it out

What does this mean . Harden is shooting 31% from 3 in the playoffs since going to Houston. He's predictable af. You can see guys forcing him right and sitting on his stepback and it's pretty effective

 

[suavamente]

damn Earl Watson engaged to FS1 baddie Joy Taylor

shoot ya shot my man

And yet the Rockets were couple of bad calls from going to the finals last year

You mean in spite of playoff harden stepping up? He'll continue to struggle until he develops a mid and/or post game, even though those shots are only worth 2 points

 

[BIG FISH]

I’m assuming KD doesn’t have enough attempts? That’s weird

I like harden but I see what you mean. For all the hating people do on mid-range. Cp3 was hurting the warriors working that mid-range.

Durant did see a big jump in pull-up 3PA last season (192, up from 93 in '16-17). Just missed the 300 cut-off total. GSW 5th in % of 3PA that are pull-up over last 2 seasons.

He shot 33% last year on the 192 attempts

Right. You gotta be able to score from anywhere on the court so you're not easy af to game plan against in the playoffs. Harden still hasn't figured that out
