Big IV party tonight, both teams together with hookers and blow. Raves are so no lens glasses ago.

If I was one of those conspiracy nut jobs, I'd probably mention how amazing the Spurs looked unfazed by the temperatures in there with the AC down. It's almost as if they were prepared to play in those temps.

And yes, Barnes shot <40% this season as well, but there are a number of reasons why I don't think that'll happen again any time soon.
I agree. Mark Jackson always put Barnes in terrible offensive situations. I wouldn't be upset to see him gone though.

Every player out there looked tired as shit. And every player except LeBron manged to push through it.

Wonder how much drama queen/mama's boy Lebron really is. Don't think he played in this sort of situation and shut down like a little pussy.

For having no AC in there it was still a great game but man the Heat were exhausted for most of the game and just jacked up shots toward the end.

I love how you classify Butler as having "two full seasons of very productive play under his belt" then turn around and say Barnes will "never be a productive player." As a 20 year old rookie the guy played 38 MPG in two playoff series and averaged 16 pts 6 rebs. Is that not being a productive player in your world? Did he peak at 20?? It's not that you said Butler is better now, you said Butler is better now than Barnes will ever be. For scoring 13 ppg on <40% shooting and playing a little D? He's not even a good rebounder. And yes, Barnes shot <40% this season as well, but there are a number of reasons why I don't think that'll happen again any time soon. And for him it was a horrible, shitty season, but for Jimmy Butler I guess it makes him a "very productive NBA player."
If you don't understand how good of a defensive player Butler is I don't know what to tell you. He's a net+ both offensively and defensively for his team. Barnes can't claim that for either side of the ball. But oh yeah he had that one playoff game that he played well in and a few 20 point games. My bad.

I'll eat crow the day Barnes shoots above 45%, gets to the line more than 3 times a game and isn't a total, complete defensive liability for his team. He was a poor prospect coming out of college and continues to be a poor prospect in the pros. You overvalue your own players. It's ok. Most people do.

This gif clearly shows Lebron is not carrying his team!

Two things though:

- Losing Lebron is no excuse for the poor performance of the Heat down the stretch. A Lebron-less Heat shouldn't be blown away by the Spurs like they did.

- The next match is on Sunday so that should be enough time to recover even from some extreme cramping.

Jordan played through the fucking flu, the least LeBron can do is jam a tampon in and play through his period.

Last time I heard, Spurs turned it over 23 times in last nights game. hard to think they won.
