The Miami Heat finally went home. After a long road trip that saw them have a few highs and a few more lows, they are finally headed for the friendly confines of American Airlines Arena.

Well, before they head there though, they will head to their individual homes. Based on some of the comments by the guys, they’re glad to be there.

On being home, here is what Jimmy Butler had to say. It comes from a piece from the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Ira Winderman.

"“It’s good to be home, sleep in your own bed, drink Big Face Coffee every morning,” forward Jimmy Butler said, getting in a pitch for his personal brew. “It’s always good. Get back to my tennis lessons. A lot of things I’ve been missing, obviously family, my people.” “But I really miss my tennis game. Can’t nobody can beat me in tennis, man. Don’t you all think you can.”"

While he may have been missing his coffee and tennis, he wasn’t alone in his yearning. Another Miami Heat star was in a “missing” mood as well.
