Is Jimmy butler basically the anti harden?

Seems like Jimmy is at his best in playoffs, while fat harden is at his worst.

Just ask Joel Embiid who thinks so

100% fair or not, James Harden’s legacy will forever be thought of and brought up in a solely negative light.
Some MIGHT have a few found memories of his elite scoring here and there but even that is marred by foul hunting that lame refs let him get away with. And those seasons still have strong playoff flop memories attached to them.
As Harden’s career continues to taper off at a frightening pace, his legacy will only sour.
So yeah probably the opposite of Jimmy Butler.

Love Jimmy. But In the 3 biggest games of his career before this one he shot combined 10-40. Last year he got swept in round 1 and shot under 30% for the series. No good games. compare playoff numbers make it pretty evident who is the better playoff performer.

Elite NBA minds like ours know this.
I’m speaking purely about what 99% of NBA fans will remember for the rest of their lives.

Butler has shot 45.6% during his career in the playoffs which is in line with his 46% over his career in the regular season....
In the Finals vs the Lakers he shot 55% for the series, I would say those 6 games were bigger than the last years playoffs

The biggest game of his career is the one that is being played. Games 3-5 he was 10 for 40. Each game is the “biggest game” while it is being played none of the previous games matter. Once that ball is tipped That game is always the biggest.

So in the biggest game of harden’s career he scored 11 points while only taking 2 shots in the second half.
How perfect, right WBB?

Double teamed relentlessly his two best teammates went 1/7 in the 3rd qtrf. When Boston decides to double team Jimmy and his teammates miss open shots that is not really on Jimmy.

Since you didn’t actually respond to the point at all, I’ll just repost it:

If you remember the other “biggest game of butlers career”, game 6 v the lakers in the finals.
Butler faced heavy double teams. He had 12 points for the game. In the second half, Jimmy had, you guessed it, 2 shots.
When the opponent double teams and makes you give the ball up, sometimes it doesn’t make it back. Doesn’t matter if you are butler or harden.
Less accomplished players are given a pass for equal or lesser performances.

Jimmy is playing injured with no excuses right now and has nothing next to him like Jim had Embiid.
I bet if we took a GM poll all 32 NBA teams would take Butler>Harden.

WBB, that was 128 games ago for butler. Did you forget you posted this 30 minutes ago already?

Your imaginary polls mean nothing. 
Jojo went 1/7 in third qtr and 2/10 in second half of the final game.
Was he banged up or just suck? Either way he didn’t play anything like an MVP runner up.

Too much of a bitch to actually address his stupidity, has to resort to emojis. So typical.

Hardin, Durant & Westbrook, all in their prime and on the same team. That's 3 all-time great NBA talents that totally lack the mental toughness to lead & win. KD was smart to sign with the Warriors a few years back to get those championship freebies.

You have to remember Hardin has never been the reason or even contributed to a playoff loss according to boom. It has away been some else's fault.
Hardin is the perfect player and cannot do wrong
