Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have never been short in confidence. While a few would have predicted that they would make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and win Game 1 against the Boston Celtics, they never doubted themselves and what they are capable of.
Butler shared as much after their 123-116 win over the Celtics on Wednesday. When asked if he thought the Heat would be able to make a long playoff run this 2023, Butler didn't hesitate and said, “Damn right, I did.”
The Heat star also took a savage shot at their doubters as he continued his statement, noting that all they cared about was what they think of themselves and not what others think about them.
“Damn right, we did. And the best part about it is we still don't care what none of y’all think… We don’t care if you pick us to win,” Butler added, via ClutchPoints.
Heat fans will certainly love that mentality from Jimmy Butler. After all, they cannot be distracted by all the criticisms that others say about them. Fortunately, the team clearly shares the same mindset with their leader.
That mentality is definitely a big reason why the Heat have made it all the way to the East Finals and have now taken a lead over their rivals in the Celtics. They never go too high or too low and simply trust each other and themselves.
“Damn right, I did. Damn right, we did. And the best part about it is we still don't care what none of y’all think… We don’t care if you pick us to win.”
