The Miami Heat Is More Than The Jimmy Butler Show
The Jimmy Butler show is fun to watch though
The Miami Heat are relentless.
Like the Golden State Warriors, the team that plays the Heat won’t be able to rest until the game ends in the fourth quarter.
The New York Knicks went through this experience playing the Heat last night in their second game in the NBA Semifinals. The Knicks lost game 1 against the Heat with the final score being 108 to 101.
The Heat’s star player, Jimmy Butler suffered a sprained ankle injury late in game 1, but the Heat was able to beat the Knicks without Butler being Michael Jordan like he was in their last series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jimmy Butler wouldn’t play in game 2 against the Knicks, so as an outsider, I wondered if the Heat could stay with the Knicks without him.
