Jimmy Butler has lost his joy | Steph Curry & Warriors roll Sixers

You would think as an older player, like he was spot up more, but it's a lot of ISO. It's a lot of ball pounding. And even the French guy, the big guy, like he's another one. That's like four dudes. Yeah, I was telling you. Yeah, I was telling you. That's like four dudes who were like, give me the ball. I mean, they're all very cookie monstering with the rock, right?

It's just like, give it to me and I'm going and that's it. Yeah. I don't know if he fits that way. It's surprising to see a Nick Nurse offense look this predictable and kind of rudimentary. But I just think it's the product of having so many guys who just have to get seven dribbles before they get a shot off. I don't think it's a good fit at all, actually.

I think on a one-off tip, I do think so because you know why? They play defense. They can play defense. When they get it together, they could lock in. I don't think they do it all the time, but They can lock in. If you just look at the pieces, they got a ball pressure and maxi. I still think Paul George can guard.

Caleb Martin, he's not like a lockdown guy, but he can get into you and they can just make you uncomfortable. They don't really have the depth to keep it up, but if you can be good enough to get to the end of the game, this is what Philly's set up for. At the end of a playoff series, you got a bunch of dudes who go get a shot. Let's play off basketball.

I don't think they'd be a threat to win three series. But I think they can win one, right? I do think... It's going to be a matchup, right? Yeah, they can exhaust. It would take everything they got. They could upset a team, but then they could cook the next round, right? Like, that's probably how it'll go, just because I don't think if these knees and body will hold up.
