This is one great leader. Notice the credit he gives teammates like Bam and PJ. In turn, it will make them to continue to play hard because they know their hardwork is noticed by their leader. In previous post-games he has given big props to other teammates like Herro, Lowry, Oladipo, etc

Even Bucks fans don't know this. They let PJ walk like its nothing. They lost against Boston not because Middleton was injured, they didn't re-sign Tucker. You give up team depth and expect to go deep in the playoffs? delusional. They literally gave up a giant playoff piece after BARELY beating the Nets with just KD to WIN a chip last year and they wanted to repeat. Miami is set for success, I'm rooting for them, for Jimmy and for Lowry.

[@basementality4924]

Jimmy has taken the D wade role upon himself. Someone had to do it and there is no one better then Jimmy for that role in Miami. He fits the culture and feeds off it.

Heat can do it, I believe. They surely could improve a lot with someone like Duncan Robinson. I do not know what kind of injury is keeping him but he is a perimeter shooter as good as any in these two teams.

[@secanes024]

The injury Duncan has is called No Defense. That's why he can't play. He's a good shooter but he also gives up more points than he scores. Duncan needs to get stronger and work on his reflexes because his defense is hurting his playing time.

All he needed all this time to rise is Heat culture and Spo playbook. No super team roster just him and Tucker (and Lowry if he gets back) as the vets are already enough. Rooting for Heat vs Mavs, for a change.

[@philw8080]

That's the difference, literally those three guys you named are the biggest dogs in the league. If you don't have superstar talent, you need dogs to win championships, you need dogs to come back from deficits. When you back a dog into a corner, they get meaner. Boston don't have dogs. Tatum's face showed fear when they're not leading and he's stumped for answers, I've seen one other guy at that caliber that does that is Anthony Davis. Boston is one of those teams that are good at taking the lead and holding the lead or punch for punch, but coming back from a deficit, not so much.

[@DjmadnassScrewed]

Interesting I know Jimmy can score I look at the other part which is getting the offensive and defensive rebound with the steals and assit honestly he can score 100 points when he's hot but getting your team involved which makes it a team sport committing to a championship title bam Is what a real center is in the paint Oldiapo and hero Mr 6 man with the bench while lowery is hurt makes Miami tuff

[@philw8080]

But Jimmy has been one of the best playoff players if you've watched the last 3 years since the Sixers series with Toronto. If you like watching superstars putting on a show, you might not appreciate him. If you like watching dog-like mentality, grind to the finish line, Jimmy is one of the best. PJ Tucker is another one and Kyle Lowry. Boston has that only in Marcus Smart. Boston desperately needs Smart back on the court, just on the mentality alone and get his teammates on board. Marcus Smart is the most important piece of the Boston roster, not the most talented, but mentally man he's something else.
