During a recent interview with Rachel Nichols of ESPN, Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler talked about his recent beefs with Indiana Pacers wing TJ Warren and Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul.

Butler and Warren's beef dates back to March when they got into it during a game in Indiana. Meanwhile, Butler and Paul never got face to face at Disney World, but the Heat star gave Paul an extra shove on a drive toward the basket after CP3 purposely threw the ball at Duncan Robinson.

As everyone knows by now, Jimmy Butler isn't in the NBA to make friends. He's trying to win his first championship with the Heat in Orlando and doesn't care who he offends on the way.

Butler has fit in perfectly with the Heat and their culture following rocky stints with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers. It appears the five-time All-Star has finally found a long-term home after bouncing around from team to team.

The Heat and Pacers will face each other in the first round of the 2020 playoffs. The basketball Gods have gifted us with a seven-game series between Butler and Warren. It's the least they could have done after the COVID-19 suspension.

While the Heat will be favored to defeat the Pacers, it will likely be a close battle between the four and five seeds.
