I was talking about regular season

Except James played four more 82 game seasons.
Sorry this still doesn’t add up. The numbers and minutes played don’t lie.
Then you have the very type of game they played?
Stockton was a PG. James plays a grueling power game.

James played one 82 game season. Stockton played sixteen 82 game seasons plus a full 50 game lockout season.
 
I'm looking forward to Nick "Butt Bevis" Wright, AKA "The Beak" , telling the world over and over again how overrated Jokic is after the Nuggets dispense the Lakers. Dude is insufferable in his dislike of Jokic.
 
The Heat are giving me hope that the Blazers can compete for a championship with the limited assets we have.
 
be something if both Denver and Miami swept their way into the finals

We could have been Miami. Could have got Butler in a trade. Could have drafted Adebayo. Could have signed better undrafted players. Could have developed them with out own G-league team.

With Butler, if he doesn’t like the head coach or some of the players, he’s going to say so.
Chicago, Minnesota, and Philly all chose the head coach and/or other players over Butler.
His situation isn’t so simple.

Minnesota was stupid for giving Wiggins/Towns the keys to that franchise.

Philly preferred Ben Simmons over Butler; ooops.

Butler looks like freaking Jordan these playoffs. But he was in the ECF last year and finals before so it's not like it's one season.

Come to think of it, Jordan rubbed a lot of teammates the wrong way.

Then there’s Kobe Bryant. Jordan, Bryant and Butler are peas in a pod.
The difference for Butler is he never got the respect. The press (no doubt fed by management) labeled him a locker-room cancer.
 
The only question left to answer in this stage of the playoffs is whether both conference finals will be sweeps, which according to the TV guys has never happened.

Seems like you are making a strong case for not tanking and not blowing things up.
Bam drafted #14. Butler went undrafted.....

Just evaluate smarter, coach better, and develop your players.

Butler was the 30th pick.

It was the draft a few months after the Bulls had the NBA's best record and Derrick Rose was the MVP.
 
If you believe Eric B from B-Uprising the Celtics getting bounced could mean Brown COULD be a Blazer so I am thrilled by seeing the Celtics lose and now one game from elimination.

Yes, I believe Danny Marang and that Sean Higgins? guy have both heard similar.

Thanks.
Still, the point remains the same. Butler at 30, Jokic at 41......players are out there besides the lottery.
