You're standing there with 18000 live supporters screaming like Gaelic Banshee's in the building, and a gazillion other eyes glued to a TV somewhere knowing you have to make all three shots to put your team ahead with three seconds to play.
The mental strain has to be at least 10x greater than the physical strain of a putback at the buzzer.
Having said all that, to me Butler played games five and six very tentative, not as aggressive as I'm accustomed to when I have watched him play in the past.
