What I think about was how many missed Free Throws Miami had earlier in the game. The Strus 3 that got overturned, that’s a game changing 3 that they couldn’t keep on the board. Lowry looked like he was folding in that first half, multiple missed 3’s, FT’s, and some costly turnovers and fouls. Miami isn’t even in this game in the last minute without Jimmy’s production. I think the basketball community understands why he shot it, he wanted that big momentum swing. Almost kill shot level of gravity with that bucket. It’s make or miss though in the NBA. At least Jimmy and the Heat went down swinging

[@TheTony024]

He went for glory…. And missed 😔 poor guy. 18 seconds, 1 timeout left. Down two to go to the Finals, 90 to 95% of basketball fans are thinking, attack the basket and hope for something good. It’s really not Jimmy’s game to take a 3 in transition, he can make those occasionally but with how critical that possession was, Spo had to call timeout. He a made mistake allowing Butler to make a quick decision like that. He tried though, its a make or miss league. If Jimmy hits that shot, we’re praising him today but its just unfortunate for him personally, he knows that a better decision could’ve been made.

[@johnk3769]

No, 90 to 95% of basketball fans come decide to criticize the shot he took because he missed it. If he had made that shot and the heat won, I wonder if your comment would even exist? No… The Celtics outplayed the Heat in Game 7 and the Heat were lucky to get that 11-0 run which they put themselves in that situation. Without Butler, the Heat would not even be in the Eastern Conference Finals. I am Chicago Bulls fan ever since I was little and obviously Michael Jordan is still someone I look up to because even he admits that you cannot make 100% of game winning shots as he said himself, “Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life.” Now what do we remember Jordan for? Those times he hit clutch shots and do you know how you prevent a scenario like this happening? You never allow it to get to game 7 just like the Bulls proved it in the 90’s w/ Jordan 6 times. Not a single one of those series went to a game 7 and that’s what makes them 1 of the greatest dynasties in history. A #1 seed like the Heat should have easily beat the Celtics, a #4 seed as leaving it up to 1 game to decide it all is why you are commenting on here as if you are perfect and aren’t human because failing, AKA missing shots is part of life and it doesn’t mean Butler is dumb for taking a shot in which I personally believe was the right call as the momentum was clearly running for the Heat with an 11-0 run.

[@johnk3769]

Also, he didn’t go for glory, he took a shot for the lead as that puts a lot more pressure on the Celtics w/ little time remaining knowing they HAVE 1 shot that decides whether they lose or win. Going for the 2 would’ve simply tied the game and how do you know that the Celtics wouldn’t of came back and hit a game winning shot? Boston deserved that win as they were the better team on the road against the Heat. Butler has hit many of those 3’s with no problem and he didn’t miss it by much but even Michael Jordan didn’t make 100% of his field goals and he is known as the Greatest Player in Basketball History.

The midrange or drive to basket will not be nearly as open as this 3 since the small number of defenders that are back are inside the arc.

Grant Williams is draped all over Lowry(better 3 point shooter than butler) and Tatum isn’t even looking at butler and completely covering strues (also a better 3 point shooter than butler) ain’t none of them even thinking of collapsing on butler. Horford plays decent defense overall but still rather see Butler take it to the rim or get closer for midrange. Nonetheless, he’s 23% from 3, not a good shot at all.

They won't win as long as Marcus Smart keeps forgetting he's not the superstar on the team. And I know they keep winning, and I actually want them too, as a Dominican I want Harford to get a ring. But the warriors WILL make you pay for those mistakes. He just steps out of line in literally the CRUCIAL of moments. Literally always when the clock is winding down. Look at the two turn overs he had literally back to back at the end of regulation against the Bucks, when Holiday shut his ass down. He gets into this mode where he thinks like, idk, he's like Kyrie about to dance on you and play hero ball and that's just not him. At all. They're not even big on you for OFFENSE like at all. You just became the DPOY. First guard in 2 decades. Play to your strengths.

Fortunately, Coach IME (who deserves respect for bringing his team to the finals as a Rookie coach) seems to be that guy.

Al Horford just may be a genius fr! In the Heat of the moment, Al understood Jimmy driving to the basket was VERY dangerous and would likely result in an and-one. Most Celtics fans, myself included, immediately thought as Jimmy shot, "Al!! Why tf you leaving him wide open?"

there’s a celtics defender right there, he also played for 50 minutes he’s not gonna have enough energy to overpower a 6’10 dude

[@dylane1791]

Not that it matters anymore, but seeing Bam just take a breath istead of sprinting down the court in the most important posession of his career whether hes tired or not. Just bad.

[@dylane1791]

He wouldve made it down there for the rebound if he willed it in himself just like bron did for that iggy block. Cant ever give up on a play even if it didnt matter and he did nothing he cannot be back there during this play hes gotta try and get out front no matter what

[@JesusOrtiz-qp1so]

Why not going to the rim and secure a 2 and maybe with contact should on be and 1 but now everyone in the nba want to take a 3

[@bezcobb]

Not a heat fan and that was a bad shot . Too much time left . Even if he makes it . It only puts them up 1 and Miami has 15 seconds to score a 2

[@sc239]

Bad shots by Jimmy And Smart, and why did the DPOY not even attempt to get back over halfcourt? If the shot drops Butler is a hero, but it didnt drop.. Miami had 22 secs left, a timeout, were only down by 2, had momentum, at home. Unfortunately that is a perfect example of how NOT to handle that situation.

[@personanongrata1601]

There is a clear foul by horford when butler attempted the 3s therd should be 3 freethrows

foul where?

[@traxagenda3445]

No it's not. Jimmy jumped into horford and horford even gave space for Jimmy to land. That was clean

[@bigdawgent8391]

I think it’s just that the whole shot was relatively wide open, and jimmy is supposed to be a “superstar player” even strus made a clutch shot and jimmy can’t make a wide open one? He had great game and series arguably but he blew the biggest moment.

[@LouieTzepher]

Jimmy played the whole damn game, 48 minutes, so i get fatigue was in play and he was probably thinking, "i have a clean look, i have no legs for overtime, let me try to put this one home", just did not work out. The better choice would have been to try to tie it up. Miami needs to make some roster moves, can't be paying Robinson 90 mill to sit on bench, hes got to go, send him to Clipper and get Morris, he would be perfect for Heat.

[@oldschooler1]

Don’t they have a Morris on the team? Lol

[@ayezizexotics]

No that’s basketball. That’s good IQ Not this stupid 3 pointer

[@inversiondefense]

Bam, the so called rebounder, didn't even cross half court on Jimmy's 3pt shot. He needs to find another team. But to add to that not one player was below the 3pt line, just awful offense so with 18sec left, Jimmy had to take the shot.

[@michaeloh6354]

How is that bad offense? It was a 3v3 situation and having 2 of them outside 3 point line essentially made it one on one with Jimmy vs Horford. He had option to shoot like he did or also had clear path to the basket if he wanted to. Can't ask for a better situation than that.

[@inversiondefense]

@@michaeloh6354 Shooting a three with 18 seconds left with nobody under the rim to rebound if missed is good offense to you? Look at Game 6 Miami vs Spurs, if Bosh wasn't under the rim for the rebound, Miami would have went home in that series. That Lebron team was a disciplined team, this Heat team was terrible in the half court all playoffs.

[@michaeloh6354]

@@inversiondefense You said it's bad offense because no player were under 3 point line and Jimmy had to take the shot. The offense wasn't the problem there at all. It was the shot selection by Jimmy.

[@sc239]

Nah you take the time out , get a breather and draw up a play. That allows the team to set up in half court and have rebounders in position.
