The Miami Heat are in a deep hole right now following their Game 4 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. Now down 3-1 in the series, Miami will need nothing short of a miracle to come back and win the title. Nonetheless, Miami star Jimmy Butler does not seem fazed.
When asked about his team's confidence level at this point, Butler expressed how it has and never will waver:
“Our confidence ain’t going nowhere,” Butler said, via Nick Friedell of ESPN. “It’s going to stay high. I’m going to make sure that it stays high because it’s going to have to be at an all-time high to get this next win.”
Not only did Butler say that his team will remain confident despite the stark circumstance that they are in, but perhaps more importantly, he has taken on the responsibility to make sure that this is going to be the case. The All-Star forward has been an excellent leader for the Heat thus far, and he has no intention of letting up — especially now.
Miami has been the underdog in this series from the get-go. Very few gave them a shot at actually winning the title, and the odds got stacked against them even more after losing the first two games of the series. They have been playing with nothing to lose from the start, and not even going down 3-1 will change this.
All the pressure remains with L.A., and the Heat understand this. They may be down, but they certainly aren't out just yet.
