Jimmy Butler Struggles Throughout The Entire Series

Granted, this is a very bold prediction after watching how Butler has played against the Pacers this season. He has been a monster for the Heat. Indiana hasn’t had a great answer for Butler.

Despite his production against Indiana so far this year, he is going to struggle in the playoffs. He will still have a positive impact in many ways, but his offensive game will not dominate the Pacers.

If the Heat want to make a deep run in the NBA Playoffs, they need Butler to play efficiently basketball on the offensive end of the court. Unfortunately, he will get off to a rocky start in the first round.

Miami will need other players to step up around Butler in order to take pressure off of him and to potentially win the series.
