When it comes down to it, Jimmy Butler is the player I trust most in crunch time in the Eastern Conference, and that makes the Miami Heat dangerous in the playoffs.
The reason why was on display again in a Heat win over the Indiana Pacers in which Jimmy, in an otherwise fairly unimportant game, took it upon himself to personally shut bubble star T.J. Warren down. Of course this after he had some words for Warren earlier this season.
That’s exactly the type of attitude that makes Butler, and therefore his team, unafraid of any situation.
