Miami Heat: Giannis Will Certainly Have To Answer For His Comments Come May

The Miami Heat had about two months off prior to last season, after dispelling them early on the way to a Finals Matchup against the man that might be the greatest of all time, but sure— go off.

The Miami Heat were swept because they were tired and it showed from Game 1. But that’s not the point here nor an excuse, it’s the name of the game.

This comment from Antetokounmpo sounds like “I took an L because”. It sounds like he’s upset because the Miami Heat were more mentally tough and mentally stronger.

Where is the lie?

While they just got beat, this sounds motivated by losing, sort of like some of his questionable antics in other losing scenarios (extra shoves after play or outside of court confines).

Secondly, he will have to answer for these comments, one way or another. Lastly though and most importantly, these comments will make for one extremely motivated Jimmy Butler.
