Jimmy Butler walks off after Heat get blown out by Nets
The Miami Heat have put in a lot of work to become a top tier organization. Their work was proven worthwhile when Jimmy Butler joined the Heat. In 2019, Jimmy Butler was a free agent with a few options on the table. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat narrowly missed the playoffs during Dwyane Wade’s final season. Wade’s brief departure set the stage for Butler to join the Heat. During his first Heat season, Jimmy Butler led them to the Finals and got within two wins of the championship.
Given how excessive the 2020 season was, when the Miami Heat were swept in 2021, they weren’t criticized for it. Entering this season, the Heat got off to a slow start. When the Heat turned it on, they took the top record in the East. Throughout the second half of the season, the Heat have held the top seed. However, some critics have said this may be a bad spot for Miami, if they face the Brooklyn Nets at 100%. With Kyrie Irving recently cleared to play home games, this could be the case.
Tonight was a potential playoff preview, as the Nets visited the Heat. Lately, the Miami Heat have unraveled, with Jimmy Butler nearly fighting Erik Spoelstra and Udonis Haslem during the game. The Heat lost to a struggling Golden State Warriors team. In tonight’s game, the Heat seemed to bounce back, but they fell apart late. The Nets seized, winning the game 110-92, in Miami. After the game, TNT’s cameras panned in on Jimmy Butler storming off, as fans are blaming him for the loss.
