Why are you guys so bias against AB. He had a HELL of a game but I went through this entire thread and he was rarely mentioned and then when he was it was the same few people.
He scored and rebounded, he shut Butler down and shut down anyone else he was switched onto. He was scoring when NO ONE else was, he had no turnovers and few fouls! You cannot defend Butler as much as AB did and do it any better! The guy doesn't get the respect he deserves. He hasn't shot well at all, this series, but he has defended Butler/Wade as good as anyone ALL SERIES so far. At least if he isn't scoring the guy is defending.
24/6/1/1 AND shut Jimmy down, who played 39 minutes and probably 30 of those minutes with AB on him!
No respect! When his shot is off all of you have a lot to say. Weird.
He got mention very often... in trade discussions.
Completely agree with you, no respect for AB. It has been like that most of his career.
In this thread during the game, I made the specific comparison of Bradley to Butler. They have gone head-to-head and Bradley has outclassed him in nearly every aspect of the game. Bradley has been the better player in this series on what can now be considered a bargain contract. At least for this series, Bradley has been the better "value". As much as I would have loved to acquire Butler at the trade deadline, I have to admit that standing pat was the right move, based on how much better Bradley has played than Butler.
