Problem to win a team that doesn’t miss. Problem to win when your stars disappear.

I hate him even more now after that display of stat-padding at the end of a blowout. Bad karma right there.

And they have a coach that let him do it. That shows you the mentality of their team.

Hope we don't let them win a championship with those types of principles.

He's not in game shape nor has he been playing against anyone going near game speed. It's quite possible he could play next game with Miami losing this game to try to get him somewhat use to games peed.

Butler and Bam took 42 2pt shots and made 17 of them, not even a point per shot yet took 42 2s. <- that's where Miami lost the game, with both of them spamming 2s you end up taking the 3pt shooters out of the flow of the offense which is highly important for Miami's role-players.


If Butler or Bam had switched with Herro and suffered that injury. Would you want them to return in the finals or would you be as concerned with them not being in game shape at this stage and point? Seriously just curious.

Trying to work a guy back into the rotation in a must win game is not the way to go.

Grumpy Heat Fan wrote:I honestly dont know what to make of Jimmy Butler

he is jekyll and hyde.

he plays like trash in a bucks series one year, then goes super saiyan Michael Jordan this year vs the same team... then goes back to playing poorly in the celtics series.. we should have lost in the ECF if Caleb didnt carry us.

in fact, Caleb saved Jimmy from a historic 0-3 comeback humiliation


at this point, i dont know what to make of this guy. he is running around and jumping so it cant be his ankle anymore.


I don't know if it's mindset or just not enough energy in the tank. He just doesn't have an aggressive consistency to him and when he does, his offense is not consistent. He just doesn't have enough tools like other stars do. He can't shoot 3s well and he misses easy layups consistently. He's just not a #1 option. We need a scorer next to him. Our two best players aren't scorers so if the role players aren't making a bunch of 3s, offense is so hard in the half court. We make it work with execution and effort but if we don't get that on every possession, we fall apart. The point is we have no margin of error like other better teams do. It always catches up to us eventually against better teams. Denver doesn't need to be perfect. We do.

Ngl if we lost either butler or bam and had herro we wouldn’t make it past the first round

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Word. That's as bush league as intentionally trying to injure an opponent imo.
