The Milwaukee Bucks got off to an inauspicious start to the 2023 NBA playoffs. They lost Game 1 of their first-round series to the Miami Heat, and Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a scary back injury.

The gap between the 1-seed and 8-seed is as big as it is for a reason.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler’s 11 made field goals were the most for a Heat player in a playoff half since LeBron James, ESPN Stats and Info wrote a Sunday tweet.

That now sets up a first-round date with the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, who just so happen to be […]

The Miami Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls 102-91 in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Friday night.

The Miami Heat got the dubious recognition on Friday of being only the third team in league history to have earned the eighth seed in the playoffs only one season after being the No. 1 seed. They live to fight another day though after their play-in win against the Chicago Bulls. Heat star Jimmy Butler […]

The NBA Play-In tournament this season has been nothing short of entertaining. Even when the basketball might not be so great like during the second half of the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves game, it still has kept fans on the edge of their seats. The first game on Friday between the Miami Heat […]

Miami Heat star wing Jimmy Butler was absent for shootaround on Friday for the same undisclosed personal reason that caused him to miss practice the day before.

The Miami Heat weren’t at their best against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday evening, and their 116-105 loss has put them in a position where they need to beat the Chicago Bulls if they’re to make the playoffs this year. The Bulls certainly won’t provide them with an easy win, particularly with their tails up […]

The Miami Heat entered the NBA Play-In Tournament as the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. However, they lost to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks at home, and now they need to win against the Chicago Bulls to make the playoffs.

Playoff Jimmy was nowhere to be found on Tuesday night. Jimmy Butler’s vaunted postseason persona may not translate the same way to the Play-In Tournament, where the Miami Heat got dismantled by the Atlanta Hawks, 116-105. Butler finished with 21 points and 9 assists, but his points came on a brutal 6-of-19 shooting clip that […]

It looks like Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young took Jimmy Butler’s Play-In declaration personally. For those not in the know, before the Hawks played the Miami Heat on Tuesday in the Play-In battle for the no. 7 seed, Butler basically declared that he’s going to lead the Vice City franchise to victory. As he talked […]

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler never lacks for confidence, and that hasn’t changed as he and his Heat teammates prepare to face the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In Tournament Tuesday night in Miami.

The Atlanta Hawks will visit the Miami Heat in the 2023 NBA Play-in Tournament Tuesday night. It’s a familiar matchup for Trae Young and the Hawks, and one that hasn’t gone their way of late. After Atlanta made the 2022 NBA playoffs by winning a pair of play-in tournament games, the Heat needed just five […]

The Miami Heat don’t have much to play for Friday night against the Washington Wizards. As a result, Erik Spoelstra’s team is taking a hyper-cautious approach to player health in the nation’s capital before the postseason finally dawns. Jimmy Butler (right hand contusion), Bam Adebayo (left quadriceps strain) and Kyle Lowry (left knee soreness) have […]

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are just a game back of the Brooklyn Nets for the final guaranteed seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference — but the superstar doesn’t care if Miami is destined for the Play-In Tournament in 2023. “I don’t give a damn,” Butler told Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports when asked […]

They call him Jimmy G. Buckets for a reason. Even before joining the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler has always been one of the most “clutch” players in the league. The star swingman earned a reputation for always coming through for his team in the biggest moments. That clutch-ness (if that’s even a term) made Heat […]

With the margins as razor-thin for this year’s NBA MVP race, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid’s recent performance against the Boston Celtics may have gotten him a leg up over Nikola Jokic.

The New York Knicks picked up a huge win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night to further aid their playoff push.

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler missed Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to a neck injury.

So when the Heat visit the Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night […]

The Boston Celtics have clinched a spot in the NBA playoffs for an eighth-straight season, and they’ll be on the hunt again for an elusive 18th championship. However, to get back to the NBA Finals, the Celtics will have to go through the gauntlet that is the Eastern Conference. After Tuesday night’s embarrassing 130-111 loss […]

The Miami Heat suffered another tough loss on Tuesday night, this time falling to the Toronto Raptors, 106-92.

The Miami Heat will have a difficult time replicating their recent postseason success in the 2023 NBA playoffs. After reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in two of the last three years, the Heat might be fortunate to win one postseason series. The Heat were a Jimmt Butler 3-pointer away from beating the Boston Celtics in […]

The Miami Heat made the NBA Finals in 2020 and the Eastern Conference Finals in 2022, so seeing them plummet down the standings this year was surprising. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo continue having stellar campaigns, but it has been a stable of inconsistency for the rest of the roster of Miami. The age of […]

Jimmy Butler’s swag knows no bounds, and he’s reminded us of as much with some gentle trolling of Julius Randle in the Miami Heat’s win over the New York Knicks. With the Heat up 123-113 with just over a minute to go, Randle fouled Butler to send him to the line and was rewarded with […]

After letting his game do the talking against the New York Knicks, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler also made sure to let Julius Randle and co. hear it from him. Late in the third quarter after draining the tough turnaround jumper and getting the foul for the and-1 opportunity–which he completed for the 85-77 lead–Butler […]
