The Miami Heat are currently in a complicated situation. After taking a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat have allowed the Boston Celtics to level the series.
The most heartbreaking defeat for the Heat was in Game 6. They were winning the game until the final few seconds of the game when Derrick White drained an unbelievable game-winning buzzer-beater and tied the series at 3-3 for the Celtics. Despite the harsh defeat, Jimmy Butler revealed that the Heat were smiling during their huddle after the buzzer-beater.
“We’re gonna do it as a unit every single time,” Butler said. “We’re gonna be in this thing together, I know that for a fact. When we huddle up after a game, after a tough loss like this one, everybody is smiling because we know what we’re capable of it. I’m telling you. I’m not going to let anybody quit, I’m not going to let our guys quit. I don’t give a damn what happens, we’re gonna go in there, and we’re gonna win.”
"We're gonna do it as a unit every single time… I don't give a damn what happens, we're gonna go in there and we're gonna win."

Butler has unwavering confidence in his team. He believes that the Heat can still win the series, even though they are close to blowing a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If the Heat fumble another game, they will become the first team in NBA history to allow an opponent comeback after going down 0-3 in a series in the postseason.
Jimmy Butler On Game 7 Against The Boston Celtics
Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played in Boston. The Celtics will have a home-court advantage as they look to create history.
As for the Miami Heat, playing the final game of the series in Boston sounds like more bad news for the team. Jimmy Butler shared his thoughts on playing Game 7 on the road.
“I believe, as we all do, you’re going to get the same test until you pass it,” said Butler. “We were in the same position last year. We can do it. I know that we will do it. We have to go on the road and win in a very, very tough environment.”
The Miami Heat weren’t even expected to reach where they are right now. But even as the eighth seed, if they become the first team in NBA history to blow a 3-0 lead, it would be one of the biggest choke jobs.
