Jimmy Butler Trolls Jaylen Brown, Celtics on IG After Heat Tie Series With Star Out

Jimmy Butler was out injured for the Miami Heat's 111-101 win over the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA playoffs on Wednesday night, but that didn't remove any of his personal satisfaction from the victory.

The quote from that photo was a common refrain from Celtics players after they dropped the first three games of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals. They warned Miami they only needed one win to start turning the tide in the series.

Those comments were almost prophetic after Boston reeled off three straight victories before running out of gas in Game 7.
