Jimmy Butler has made just 8 combined shots during the first two games of the series and he’s a career-worst -34 thus far. He needs to step un and be more aggressive, as he’s not getting the job done on either side of the floor, and the same can be said for Bam Adebayo. The Heat are getting pushed over at will all over the court.
