Would Butler still be in playoffs if he played Warriors in the 2nd round? Also- it’s a regular season award so what are you talking about? Ja is true superstar. Jimmy’s more of a #2 on a championship team.
I'd rather have Butler on our team or any team trying to win now. Ja is a great player especially on offense and as he's younger, so he has that going for him. Butler is a better all-around player right now did you see him on Friday?
Mind you he had 47 on 16/29 shooting, 4-8 from 3 and 11-11 from the FT line, along with 9 boards, 8 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block in an elimination game on Boston's home court. The dude is a maniac and one of the best competitors in the league. I stand by my statement and I think it's quite likely objectively true.
