  1. Thats a flop. How did he end up on tbe ground front that??? What a joke. Turning into soccer

  2. DSJ is just trying to save his nba career, he went completely downhill after his decent rookie season

  3. I get it’s quote on quote ‘smart play.’ But that’s because refs set precedent by rewarding flopping for years. Jimmy clearly sells the contact. I like the new tech rule but it won’t be called consistently

  4. Cool it down Heat. Just focus on the goal. I pray that God will keep you healthy Miami Heat players. No need to fight.

  5. Jimmy Butler's Aura and Body Language there was like MJ for a second and its so suspicious 😂😂

  6. try to complain in front of the Heat's guy who are just ignoring him then even his team mates pretends he dont exist

  7. Jimmy clearly flopped there. There is no way 6'2 Dennis Smith Jr. could've knocked him over that easily.

  8. "Jimmy flops on play, Dennis Smith Jr thinks this guy can't be serious" fixed the title

  9. DSJ needs to calm down, he finally got a chance to prove himself on a team but his attitude is going to get him waived or kicked off the team again.

  10. Man, this season's NBA is starting to look a little like the NBA of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

  11. Dennis Smith don't do it man, you're still young and you have a whole life ahead of you 😂

  12. I’m absolutely loving how many heated moments we’ve had this season, techs being thrown around left and right punches and head locks being thrown, grown man’s business and I love seeing some grit

  13. @ESPN

    Look at the rule for why they allow fighting in the NHL. I'm not saying allow fighting in the NBA but they should give the players a way to check themselves.

    This is my idea.

    Separation – players of the same team should try to separate their teammate in a scuffle and not the player of the opposing team.

    Player check (to settle the scuffle) – two 10 second one on one possessions, possession of the ball for each player in a scuffle. 2s and 3s count, fouling either way (offensive or defensive) gives 1 free throw attempt to the opposing player (this counts as the technical foul). Player on offense getting fouled in the act of shooting (a 2 or 3) also gets free throws.

    The technical fouls for scuffle – If no foul is called on a player during the one on one possessions, no technical fouls assessed. If any player fouls that will count as the technical foul for the scuffle.

    Teams next possession – Player with more points wins possession for their team after the 2 one on one possessions. If tied, the 2 players jump ball.

    Targeting – automatic ejection from the game

  14. I went to this game my first Heat game and wow it gets loud in there Heat culture is amazing and this is coming from a Knicks fan who’s used to insane crowds I can only Imagine what Heat playoff games at home are like

  15. Lol, the comments are hilarious!!! Like, he woked a slipping lion, Jimmy would destroyed him, Jimmy this, Jimy that. Well, Jimmy had 0 fights in the NBA, literally!!! All he had is: "Bro, hold me, I'll kill him!" He somehow convinced the world that he is badass, but… I don't know, prove me wrong!
