Heat coach Erick Spoelstra opened the game on Jimmy Butler and paid curious praise for one of the NBA’s top players
butler received praise, at least from Eric Spoelstrashortly after the victory of the heat in game seven against the Celtics. The Miami coach, last Monday, the 29th, in a press conference, did not hide his admiration for the East MVP. According to him, Jimmy is the perfect leader for the decision against the Nuggets, even though sometimes the player is extremely demanding with his teammates.
At least that’s what Spoelstra assured during the conversation with journalists after beating the Celtics by 103 to 84 and guaranteeing a place in the NBA finals. The expectation on top of the Heat’s performance is high, but it gets even higher on Butler’s shoulders. The ace took responsibility in the playoffs and placed himself as one of the main names of the season. His influence on the team’s mood is great, and the Miami coach does not disagree with that.
“There’s no way to quantify the confidence he can instill in everyone. Jimmy never had to apologize. I don’t want him to apologize for who he is and how he approaches the competition. It’s intense. It’s not for everyone, and we’re not all. That’s why it’s an amazing marriage. We never judged him for it. He doesn’t judge us by how crazy we get. It’s the same language. But the level of trust he can create for everyone on the team is incredible.“, he stated.
Spoelstra highlighted that it is not easy to deal with Butler, but made it clear that the player also knows how to assess the ideal moment to support a teammate. It is with this confidence in Jimmy that the Heat will try to seek the NBA title against the Denver Nuggets: “He’s gruff, but he knows how to have a soft touch to give someone confidence at the right time. That’s his special gift.”.
