[Brady Hawk] Aaron Gordon mentions that he felt they were over-helping on Jimmy Butler early in this series, and the main adjustment tonight was to just give him the necessary attention

1. The Nuggets decided to flip the script on us. They decided that they’ll let Jimmy get whatever he wants and as long as they shut down or limit everyone else on our team, they’ll be in good shape.

   This explains why Jimmy was his most aggressive self all series.

2. Well yeah they are doubling a guy who isn’t gonna hurt them the way he did in the bucks series anymore. Stay home make Jimmy beat you and he currently isn’t doing it at a high level

3. I’ve been wondering why opponents are so worried about him for the past 5-6 games at least.

4. Bucks Jimmy might’ve been a fluke, he was basically going perfect from the field every 1st quarter of that series.

   ​

   Not to say he’s bad rn but he’s playing like he always does which is still an all-star. (No, I don’t to hear about his ankle lol)

5. This is where Tyler would help. Remember vs the sixers last year? (Or was it the year before?) they doubled tyler which opened up everyone else

6. They realized he can’t explode like he used to.

7. Frankly, even a broken Herro is better than what we have right now. Heat couldn’t even buy a bucket and Spo masterclass never making any adjustments no Highsmith and limited Duncan.
