[@AP-sr2lr]

I don't get Brou's argument at all. Butler has been an absolute force on both sides of the ball for multiple years now when it comes to the playoffs. The only time he has shown any type of inconsitency or letdown has been after he sustains an injury. Meanwhile Tatum has been up and down for a while now, isn't on the same defensive level as Butler, is turnover prone, and has done less with more talent around him. He says Butler's team needs to beat the Celtics for Butler to be better than Tatum, but if Butler averaged 15/4/3 and Tatum 35/11/5, would he say the same thing? If Butler averaged 37/9/5 and Tatum 26/7/3 but the Heat loses, he'd still say Tatum's better because Butler didn't get help? Makes no sense.

Butler was inconsistent in the finals in the bubble and lost in the first round the next year without any spectacular performances. And I guess its last year in the conference finals where you say he was injured. Butler's had great performances in the playoffs, but he's given more credit due to how he's mostly above average in the regular season. Tatum was first team all NBA the last two years so he's not gonna get as much credit.

None of this aged well 🤦‍♂️

[@butterNpants]

Im a warriors fan and even i can agree with nick that if the celtics had jimmy last year they definitely would have had a better chance to win instead of with tatum

[@itzMiraii]

This really didn't age well 💀😅

[@RoseCurry5]

According to Chris, "hes only 20" has gone to "he's only 25"

[@ReeseTFG]

This is the best sports show on television. Keep it up guys! 💯

[@officialconch]

I feel bad for Chris. The Nets blew up and he needed to make a pick. He KNOWS the Celtics aren’t it and he won’t back down because of pride. It’s gonna be bad after the Heat win the series 4-0 😂

[@MarvyG23]

Imagine this heat team in the playoffs of herro wasn’t injured

[@semi6544]

Some people believe the loss of Herro was a good thing. They replaced Herro with a plus defender and haven't suffered on the offensive end. Herro is a very talented offensive player but if the Heat aren't struggling on offense, then Herro isn't missed that much. I'm not saying they don't need Herro. Every good player is a plus. The fact that they can place more effective defensive players on the court at a time is a fact.

[@burrybondz225]

They would be worse.

[@jaygib105]

Herro and dipo....dipo would've been giving brown fits

[@negative2positve380]

Anybody saying it would be worse dont watch heat basketball at all. At the VERY least tyler is a good spot up shooter

[@alfredramirez6402]

Lowry running the second unit is working out great and he waaayyy shoots the 3; Herro is often up and down. Don't underestimate the savvy and experience of Lowery and Love; they both got💍

[@spvntheblocx3454]

Nick was right if u switch Tatum and Jimmy you wouldn’t be worried about the heat with Tatum

[@georgetyler6823]

I hate when Bri just gets to yelling without even hearing the argument lol he to used to talking to Rob

[@chrisavila1172]

Broussard defending his light skin boy! Butler easy way better than JT!

[@azraelpov]

Broussard sounds like such a hater for no reason. Jimmy steal his girl or something?

[@pokermaster4188]

I wish this show was on the weekend too😔

[@thomasportway5413]

Feels nice having nick on my side for once

[@trvsdvn]

broussard finna eat his words by next weekend why he sound scared he deep down knows who the REAL DOG in this match is lol

[@jamdum2290]

He will find reasons why Boston didn't win. He's a heat/Jimmy hater.

[@Halfdozengp]

Nuggets and the Heat both getting no respect, and yet they both have looked like the best 2 teams all playoff long. Guess the media won’t be able to talk about anybody but them when it’s Heat/Nuggets finals.😂

[@MarvyG23]

Media is praying for a celtics vs lakers finals

[@Halfdozengp]

@@MarvyG23 obviously. The bias is so blatant it’s almost comical.

[@lkhguycrazy]

Heats/Nuggets would be worse than the 2018 finals

[@drk.i.a.2969]

@@Halfdozengp who? yours?

[@jaygib105]

Get that hate out your heart goofy..

[@deer7177]

Broussard is madly in love with Tatum😂

[@theace8502]

Broussard saying he only deals in facts and not hypotheticals only to then immediately talk about a hypothetical Tatum three years from now kills me

[@KingEames]

Grant Williams needs to touch the floor more idk what Joe is doing

[@timfwaygo2537]

He won't matter this series Celtics already gave his minutes to brogdon and white them minutes if he comes to Miami we'll utilize him better and he'll become a better 3pt shooter under the heat culture.

[@siddhantjain244]

Brou what you gotta say now that its 2-0 to Miami?

[@26zz]

3-0

[@lorenzomartin6217]

oh lawd, here go Chris Brou the Tatum apologist. lol

[@Aalender]

When Joe threw the clipboard I was like - oh they losing this game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

No, I thought it was after that when he made NO changes to the team to go on the floor out after the timeout that I thought they were in trouble.

[@Aalender]

@@BenWick-oc8pv agree but his anger towards them showed zero connection - he cares but they don’t care that he does or they don’t care if they lose it’s very telling

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

@@Aalender 100% agree. Maybe Kendrick Perkins was right months ago when he said they don't respect the coach. On the bright side Celtics are still talented enough to win 4 in a row. Biggest worry is they are not smart enough.

[@26zz]

3-0 chris😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️

[@metathoughts732]

wow, Heat stole another game. Let me re-phrase that... Heat punk Celtics in their house. play ball.

[@limbcollector22]

The simultaneous drink at the end 😂

[@Kimboslic]

Oh bru a hater I seen that before

[@SalKhayer]

Brou is always in attack mode. He's always thinking everything is a debate lol

[@johnnyray4499]

Nick is right I said it before the series started spo is the deciding factor n the series

[@ryansproviero]

To me, the Celtics home/road record suggests they don't like their own fans. The Celtics fans have had a reputation to say some questionable things and if those players have heard things directed at other teams, they might not be able to forget that.

[@adamyang1187]

4:35 - 4:48 😂 Kevin had enough of his coworkers stupid stupid sh*t 🤣

[@teelyttle2480]

Wilds crumpling up paper in frustration 😂😭😂😭😂

[@RoseCurry5]

5:08 his face 😂

[@cozyay3768]

Uu just ripped kd for averaging 30 in the post season..but then you bring up the fact Tatum had 30 so it nullifies everything…

[@nathanjuan6042]

It is always gonna be what the other team did wrong not about what the Heat did every series. In bucks game Knicks and now Boston. 🤦‍♂️

[@user-do8qf8cp9y]

Broussard did not sound very logical in the comparison between Jayson and Butler in the post season. Jimmy is certainly dominant!

[@Kingcayne]

Never expected to see a Broussard take like this one... Still, love the show though and I can't get enough.

[@francescosmith7859]

It's crazy. Nick was worried the Celts would struggle against Jimmy and Spo BUT it was supposed to be in the first round!!! How the heck did we end up here with this as the ECF?

[@marjunrabina802]

He delivered... Did you? Hahaha
