I think had he stayed under the tutelage of Scott Brookes he may have developed more of an offensive game. Donovan inherited a long term project player and has made do with the abilities he already has. I don't doubt there were provisions made for Adams when they signed Donovan and I don't doubt that they tried to get more out of him. But Donovan came in thinking he had a raw centre but 2 bonified superstars in KD and Russ. He wasn't expecting to have him be a major figure in 2 years after signing.

@KiwiMurph I only saw soundless highlights of the last couple of minutes. Who took the last shot? No one was guarding him.

This isn't the first time Adams has underwhelmed in the play-offs. Remember a year or two ago he was thoroughly outplayed by Enes Kanter in a match up OKC were reliant on winning.
He's always been a complimentary player, I've never seen him called upon to play a prominent scoring role. Just isn't aggressive enough
-
I dont think its fair to say Adams has disappointed these playoffs. You can definitely make the case that he's overpaid, but he is hardly the outlier in the leagie, loads of worse contracts than his.
In terms of his efforts, his Per36min numbers these playoffs are spot on - 12.2pts and 13.9rbs on 60% shooting. Thats all you could ever expect from him.
Defensively this was always going to be a tough series for him with Tucker and Convington drawing him away from the basket.

What a season by Butler and Heat. Shows you the importance of culture and fit.
Butler is a fucking boss and has found his spiritual home with Riley and Spo. As ESPN alluded to the other day, it appears that all that talk of him being a locker room cancer came from snow flakes who didn't like the sound of truth according to him

Bucks were terrible, TGF especially (don't give me any injury BS, this was effectan elimination game). Jacking 3's, woeful from the line, then they froze in the 4th quarter.
Lots to like about this Miami team, they could be great next year when they shift some of their deadwood contracts (Solomon Hill, Leonard etc)
-
Absolutely garbage offence from the Bucks in the 4th quarter. Dante, Middleton and Lopez all jacking up 30 footers. Jimmy Buckets has that edge and when the game is there to be one, for better or worse you know he wants it. Got it done today.

I was pretty impressed with the Rockets tenacity and defensive pressure. Harden in particular was very good. Dare to dream that the Lakers choke....

I watched the first half and LA shot terribly. That's not going to cut it against that high octane offense
-
Shame Giannis aggravated the ankle because he was playing pretty awesome before that moment. Looked zeroed in for a big game. Happy for Middleton, he’s theIr best close out guy and should have the ball more in those situations.

Clippers win and Playoff P back is back in the building.

Celtics were brutal on offence and defence. Raptors looked a little weary.

kawhi was massive in the 4th, his rebounding in particular, but a couple of great passes also and that fingertip block was outrageous
