@hothothoops: “Jimmy Butler’s last two games, after missing five consecutive games for the Heat:
• 9 PTS, 4 ASTS, 2 RBS, 3/6 FG, -27
• 9 PTS, 4 RBS, 2 ASTS, 3/5 FG
Pretty questionable way to make a case for a max extension at 35 years old— whether it’s here or elsewhere.”
@StewyHoops: “Seems like a Jimmy Butler is doing whatever he can to force Miami’s hand”
@WrldSpurs: “Keep Jimmy Butler AWAYYYY from the Spurs lol”
@5ReasonsSports: “Jimmy Butler in 2 games back:
52 minutes
6 for 11
18 points
6 rebounds
6 assists
My expectation about him returning highly engaged was incorrect.”
@T0NEH_: “Jimmy Butler stinking it up to I’m disappointed”
@Jayhooptalk: “Is Jimmy Butler silently quitting on the Heat?”
@osamadahud: “Jimmy Butler trying to play himself outta Miami sheesh”
Evan Sidery: “Jimmy Butler’s body language on the court tonight in an ongoing Heat blowout loss is hard not to notice.
On almost every possession, Butler is refusing on-ball actions and sitting in the corner.
Butler looks completely checked out as he continues to seek a trade from Miami.”
Butler is in his sixth season playing for the Heat.
They are the seventh seed in the east with a 17-15 record.
