The Miami Heat’s Reactions to Jimmy Butler’s Spectacular Performance in the Win Against the Boston Celtics

The Miami Heat can still dream of lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy in a couple of weeks. The Florida team is still standing in the NBA because it defeated the Boston Celtics 111-103 in an elimination scenario: now with the series tied 3-3, it will be able to define everything in its stadium next Sunday. The main person in charge of Miami winning on the road. At this very adverse time was Jimmy Butler, the Heat’s franchise player, the man they needed to appear on tonight despite the right knee injury that has him mistreated.

Butler signed a historic performance of 47 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals and those led by Erik Spoelstra were able to end up winning in a tight final game.

On what it means to have won this game when some thought the series was over: “We did our job. We’ve said it all through the series: It’s not over yet. We have Game 7 at home and we need a win.”

“My teammates let me know that I have to be aggressive, go out on the field, and be the best player on the court. I have to remind myself of that every time I go out on the court.”

On some shots he made at a time when the atmosphere in the stadium was exploding in the Celtics’ favor: “I don’t pay too much attention to the crowd. I want to win. I want to play the right way. I’ll do what my team and my teammates need me to do.” If you have to score, if you have to pass, if you have to defend… whatever it takes to win, that’s what I try to do.”

On what it means to have won this game when some were calling the series over: “I think we’ve won this game. We haven’t done much yet. We still have to go home and win. All we did was go out there and win a game. What It’s all that really matters, trying to win.”

 

On his improvement after poor performances in previous games: “As I said, I’m never going to make an excuse. I’ve played badly before. I have a chance to redeem myself. I’ve got great guys in the locker room, great guys in our team, great organization, and great people in my life who support me no matter what it is, the ups and the downs. They always tell me, ‘Do it.’ Tonight has been one of those occasions that are, I think the coach said it, a game for the legacy Having a guy like him by my side helped me do that.”

On Butler: “He’s such a humble player. I’ve witnessed the work he puts in. It’s amazing to have a guy like him by my side. I’ve played with some great players, and he’s one of the best I’ve ever played with. Doing it in this scenario, Game 6, on the verge of elimination, I wouldn’t want to be playing with anyone other than this guy.”

Erik Spoelstra

This is similar to what I said after the last game. There are a lot of wild emotions in the playoffs. And you have to try to stay stable, figure out what’s real, what’s not real, what’s objective, and not get caught up in those wild swings. We have a very passionate group. We have guys who love the competition and understand how hard it is to try to do what we’re trying to do.”

“We’re up against a very good team. So our guys accept that kind of challenge and the competition that we’re up against. Plus, their defense is so strong that sometimes you just need your big player to make plays. It wasn’t a question of schemes or things like that. Jimmy just brought his competitive will tonight. It was a will that wouldn’t let us lose.”

“I know how our guys are. They love the challenge. We deeply respect our rival. They are a very good team. What you expect is to bring out the best in you and a different level. Over the course of a long series like this, you are going to push, uncomfortably. Sometimes you’re going to lose some battles along the way. We’ve had some really tough times during this series. But we’ve got guys getting up and going to the next fight.”

“I don’t like to compare teams. I get it”

On getting to Game 7 against Boston: “We’re here. That’s how it should be with these two teams. It should have been seven games. The margin for error on both sides is so small. There aren’t two better words in professional sports than.” Game 7″. I am delighted that our group will have the opportunity to compete in a Game 7 in front of our home crowd.”

On Jimmy Butler and the LeBron James comparison: “I don’t like to compare teams. I get it. People can easily draw comparisons between the two. It’s a different era. It’s a different team. Jimmy Butler is a great competitor; he really is. “You can define him in a lot of different ways, but his competitive will is as high as anyone who’s ever played. He made his mark in this game. Jimmy doesn’t stop. I think in the last game he did, he missed a lot of shots, but our competitors will was there. They just outplayed us. Sometimes that happens. But if you’re a real competitor, you keep going.”

On Kyle Lowry: “I can’t say enough about his veteran leadership and poise. It means a lot to us. offense. It’s those opportune moments during the key moments of the game where the ball has to go where it needs to go. Sometimes he makes a big play at the end of the clock, something he may never have practiced before. He has a gift for the moment. He’s one of the best players in the league. He knows how to manage a game.”
