Jimmy has played 64 playoff games with MIA, shooting 40% or less in 20 of them. That's not good enough. Because he's so likable and MIA is always the underdog he avoids the game to game criticism that other stars of his caliber face, but his actual playoff resume is one that would be drawing a lot of criticism and questioning of he's good enough to be a best player on a title team. He just gets the benefit of only being talked about to praise his highest moments. This is especially true because Miami has overachieved consistently in recent years.

Could not agree more. Well said.

He’s gone from underrated to pretty overrated imo.

PREACH

Nice ava

20 of 64 playoff games = 31.25% of the games where Butler shot 40% or worse.

Now, let's take a look at Jayson "bright lights" Tatum. He has played in 94 playoff games in his career with Boston, and has shot 40% or worse in 31 of them. That's 32.97% of playoff games where he has shot 40% or worse.

PREACH, right!?

career playoff splits

Butler: 46.0 / 34.7 / 83.0 (21.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 119 games)
Tatum: 44.3 / 35.9 / 83.3 (23.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 94 games)
Embiid: 46.1 / 28.0 / 82.3 (24.0 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 53 games)
Giannis: 52.7 / 26.1 / 61.8 (26.6 points, 12.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 79 games)

Omg almost another 2%!!

And to think Tatum is way past his prime already… I’m sad

But to quote you.. “wHy u aLwaYs gOtTa mAkE it AboUt TaTum”

Because you're out here preaching about a stat that makes Butler look bad, but Tatum is even worse 🤣
