Why the Miami Heat’s Loss to the Mavericks Could Have Signaled the End of the Jimmy Butler Era
Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo combined for just 20 points while Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving totaled 54 in the Miami Heat’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. Is there anything the Heat can do when their star duo gets outplayed?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the loss, what it means for Butler and Adebayo, and if changes are coming this offseason.

2011 Go Mavs
2011 go mavs (from Raccoon Squad)
Why every lost yall so FAST TO SAY ITS JIMMY JIMMY it's crazy. WE DONT HAVE A SUPER STAR, OUR WHOLE TEAM IS ROLL PLAYERS. PLUS OUR PLAYS ARE OLD N OUTDATED, WE DOING THE SAME PLAYS WHEN WE HAD WADE BOSH JAMES, I tell you what go ahead and trade Jimmy then, it's crazy yall think hero a super star, he has ZERO DEFENSE, yall hell yall hateing on Jimmy SAD
2011 go mavs
NBA stars put the ball in the basket at will and everyone in the league knows this except Heat coaches and management. This organization has drafted Justise Winslow and Precious over Devin Booker & Maxey in recent years because those "in the mud" players are who Spo likes to coach. Heat Culture strives to create players with elite level body mass index not elite level scorers and it's finally caught up to them. The Jimmy & The G Leaguers experiment will hopefully be overhauled after this season.
Finally Heat fans are waking up. You never had enough you were just good enough. Never great. Start over time. Yall let Jimmy fool yall and make promises and it’s every other franchise fault for giving him the opportunity to do that.
Bam has regressed
Garbage podcast, Wes is not a heat fan..hahaha
Not worried about Jimmy at all ,he has made one midrange shot in the last 3 games and the shots have looked great ,he is saving it ,look in the west ,the Suns, Warriors and Lakers are in the play in with all them stars,l could see Jimmy wanting the 8 seed and Boston,and l agree franchise didn't do enough,do you ever watch how Jimmy gets bodied up under the basket and the guys he is going against because they don't have a good 4
Jimmy was bound to age… not worth discussing… unnecessary… what is worth discussion is Bam.. he’s supposed to be hitting his prime… what’s this?
If Bam mentions DPOY, All-Star, or All NBA at the beginning of next season I’m going to 🤢 on his shoes
Just not good enough.
The best game was the last of the hawks game pulling the playoffs heat, Miami princess 💅👹😤👸💯💯
2011 Go Mavs!
2011 Go Mavs!
lets cut the bullshit. we re not making any run in the playoffs we havent beaten any good team this season only mediocre teams and its time to TRADE Jimmy and Bam. Keep rozier Hero jovic and highsmith the rest are garbage!!!!
The Heat's play-style looks different in the playoffs. That being said, if the stars don't deliver these playoffs there should be big changes
The Heat couldn’t trade Bam for an equal guy… you’d have to break it up and trade him for like a Mikal Bridges Claxton package
2011 Go Mavs! Nick says hi. 😂😂😂 Gg
As I said in October this team has no scoring punch….leading scorers around the league are throwing down 30, 35 and 40 points the leading scorer for the Heat whoever it is nightly is at 22, 26 points at the most and that is not going is do it…..need to trade for Mitchell Derozen next year…..there is nobody that can score 30 points
2011 Go Mavs!!!!!!!
He's becoming Kyle. No he's not trying.
Bam as I said before is overrated. Jimmy ages every year too slow and looks tired. At this point of time playing Bryant or Orlando Robinson is a better choice than Bam. KLove playing like an allstar than Bam
It's not a slump it's a time to move on.
2011 GO MAVS
Butler for now is to slow his ball handling seems aukward and it seems theres a domino effect in entire miami. Miami play so slow when butler is in court. Coach Spo.must think for that, why not Jaime insted of Jimmy to make ball movement more faster.
The heat looked very tired after double overtime the night before
I ain’t sweating they playing some sort of game losing and playing like this it’s a strategy idk maybe just the fact teams over look them gives them the edge
2011 Go Mavs
(Spoiler) Neither actually died at the end. They displayed after credit scenes.
