What makes these plays similar?
No it’s not just Jimmy Butler doing Jimmy Butler things
It’s the inverted PnR stuff late
Guard screening will lead to a show and recover
A show and recover will allow Jimmy to operate inside the arc

I asked Jimmy Butler tonight about Max Strus’ growth:
Slipped in: “He has one dribble move…Right, between the legs, step back, we get it.”
Then I got Max Strus’ reaction to the comment:

I asked Jimmy Butler about Max Strus’ improvements in his game:
“He has one dribble move. Between the legs side step.”
Jokes that teams that watch film can just take that one move away
“Max ain’t no b-word. I’m not getting fined.” – 10:47 PM

Spo says Jimmy Butler doesn’t usually ask him to challenge calls, but did on that Steph block. Spo wasn’t convinced but said, “I trusted Jimmy. … I went on a leap of faith.” – 10:18 PM

The Miami Heat took a gutsy win over the Golden State Warriors. A much-needed win at this stage of the season. Jimmy Butler was clutch, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson came off the bench and brought score. Some great Heat basketball tonight. #HEATCulture – 10:05 PM

They got a lot tonight
Max Strus and Duncan Robinson shifted the offense
Bam Adebayo kept things in front late on both ends
Jimmy Butler coasted, yet came up big when they really needed him
Big win – 10:05 PM

My biggest question this year about Moses Moody was whether he could hold up in isolation against big scorers. Jimmy Butler just faked him to Key Largo on an iso – 9:48 PM

Also Jimmy Butler 2 of 3 from 3-point range a day after I asked why he doesn’t take more 3s. His season-high from distance came against this Warriors team last week.

More on this storyline
Butler said he thought it was worth challenging, convinced by Lowry that the case for reversal was on solid ground. “I mean, I don’t know all the rules. Kyle does,” Butler said, before the Heat turned their attention to Wednesday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings at FTX Arena. “I know I hit the ball first. And then, yeah, a little bit of hand after the follow through. So I told Spo and, ‘Hey, look man, I think you should challenge and I did hit the ball first.’ “And then Kyle was like, ‘Did you hit the ball first?’ And, ‘Yes, I hit the ball first, Kyle.’ And Kyle was like, ‘I know the rules. It’s our ball.’ “ -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / November 2, 2022
CJ Holmes: Stephen Curry on Jimmy Butler’s foul being overturned: “It’s an awful call, what do you think I’m going to say? I was walking to the free throw line.” -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / November 2, 2022
Jimmy Butler: “Man, I hate when people talk (about the past). Like. we’ve got a different team. Yeah, we’ve got the same players (as last season), but like, Max don’t start, Tyler’s starting. Tyler just got an extension, P.J.’s not here, Caleb is starting. Like, everybody’s role is so vastly different — and it’s a good thing. It’s not bad. I’m not complaining. It is good. “But yeah, on paper it looks like we have the same team. But we’ve gotta figure out a lot more things because things are different. As much as they are the same, they are different. And I’m telling you, it’s not bad because we’re going to figure it out. Two and five is not that bad. When you talk about all the practice that we’re going to get in, how we’re going to break down the film and talk about how ‘We need to be here (on the floor). We need to be in this spot.’ Like, sometimes we’ll be confused where everybody needs to be out on the floor, you know? And that’s OK. It’s growing pains. It’s not bad, and we’re gonna be just fine. … Y’all will look back at this, and be like, oh man, they started 2-5 and they ended the season f*cking 77-5.” -via The Athletic / November 1, 2022
