To the conductor of the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler, he had to face the NBA finals in the middle of a delicate family situation: his father “is not well”.
This was revealed by the sports commentator Skip Bayless, quoted by The Spun. The publication claims that Prayers for Butler's family pour in, and some - like a fan mentioned in the report - cannot believe that, in the midst of this situation, "people hit Jimmy."
The point is that the eaves He has not been able to lead the Heat's offense as usual, to the point of having scored 34 points (average of 17 per game) so far in the crucial duel against the Nuggets. Not much, if we take into account that the average 25 points per game from the 2020 postseason to the current one.
In his analysis, Bayless emphasized that The player seen in these playoffs has not been at his usual levels, and reasoned that “I might be a little distracted, if not a little exhausted, by having to deal with that.”
For now, Miami has been weathering the storm and managed to leave its rival's complicated headquarters (the Ball Arena) with tie to one win per team. That, according to another fan, is thanks to the fact that the Heat have elements “that rise to the occasion when Jimmy is not at his best.”
The third game of this series will take place this Wednesday, at the Kaseya Center.
