Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat barely managed to clinch a spot in the 2023 NBA playoffs. Now, they have to play against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the postseason.
The Heat surprisingly had no trouble in handling business in Game 1 vs. the Bucks. Following the 130-117 victory, Jimmy Butler decided to troll Milwaukee by posting a story on his Instagram.

Butler is a great trash-talker, and sometimes he uses his Instagram account to send the message across.
Jimmy’s story is a subtle clap back at the people who believed that the Bucks are the favorites to win the series vs. the Heat. Miami currently holds a 1-0 lead in the series, but they cannot get careless right now.
Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro Ruled Out For The Season
The Miami Heat had a bittersweet Game 1 against the Bucks. On one hand, Jimmy Butler’s 35-point performance aided the Heat in taking the lead in the series. But on the other hand, the organization suffered a huge blow in Tyler Herro getting injured.
Herro broke the middle and ring finger of his shooting hand in Game 1. As a result, the 23-year-old is ruled out of action for four-six weeks. Considering Herro is a crucial player for the team, the Heat will be shorthanded for the rest of the postseason.
Now, more burden will fall on the shoulders of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo to handle the offensive duties for the team. The only silver lining for the Heat is the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo sustained a back injury in the game as well.
Giannis is currently day-to-day, but if he is out for the series, it will provide the Heat a slim ray of hope for advancing to the next round.
Can Jimmy Butler and Co. still make a deep run in the playoffs? We will find out over the next few weeks.
