Will be interesting to see how he handles the Celtics strong defense.

I think he will probably struggle. The Sixers didn't really have a strong wing defender after Thybulle became unplayable to keep Jimmy in check.

The Celtics match up a lot better against Miami than Milwaukee, since they won't have to worry about Giannis bulldozing their team. I think this will be a fun series to watch though. Two physical Teams playing against one another. Maybe the Celtics will win in 5 or 6, but the Heat will probably make them earn it.

I’m ready for all your excuses after he fails just like KD and Grayson Allen did when you hyped them both up against the Celtics.

lol you're really taking this Grayson Allen thing and running with it. I pointed out that he had been playing relatively well for the Bucks immediately after Middleton went down, and you act like we claimed he was a star or something rofl.


But it wouldn't surprise me to see Jimmy struggle, or anyone on the Heat struggle against a stout defense. Boston does a good job of swarming and rotating to help at the right time, so if they want to focus on shutting Butler down the same way they did to KD they could do that. If they give Jimmy the "anyone but you can beat us" treatment the same way they did to KD then yeah, he'd get clamped. Butler is more physical though, so i'd expect a lot more fight out of him than what we saw out of KD who basically gave up rofl.

Hmm from memory you did say Grayson was a hof candidate, dpoy and future finals mvp

Butler will get swallowed up by both team defense and man to man.
