Yeah we could see the same thing ViejoWas also a must win for the Lakers and you all know what happened….
I think they are the 2nd highest scoring team after Tampa or vice-versaTexas Rangers team total seems like it goes over every game
True. They learned that last year (hopefully)Play with fire too many times you get burned. They can't expect to win a Championship like that.
But.... I hope you're right.
And Jimmy Butler is one of, if not the, most underrated star in this league. He is the perfect leader for any team. Excels in all aspects of the game and plays all out on both sides of the court. And does it in a humble businesslike manner.True. They learned that last year (hopefully)
I thought they would take them more seriously this year.
I will say, Miami is also just a better team than people realize. Losing Herro is tough offensively, but kind of helps them in some ways. They're able to be a lot more creative defensively with some of their schemes, and they have a hell of a coach who knows how to push the right buttons
He's also a rare breed that elevates himself to such a high degree in the playoffs. Obviously guys like MJ, LeBron, etc have been amazing playoff performers, but they also were so great in the regular season as well.And Jimmy Butler is one of, if not the, most underrated star in this league.

That says to me that he doesn't care about stats. He cares about winning.He's also a rare breed that elevates himself to such a high degree in the playoffs. Obviously guys like MJ, LeBron, etc have been amazing playoff performers, but they also were so great in the regular season as well.
For perspective:
Since he joined the Heat, Butler has had more 35+ point performances than anyone in the playoffs
But also since he joined the Heat, he has fewer 35+ point performances than Terry Rozier in the regular season
