The Miami Heat got a much-needed win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. On the back of a pair of defeats to those same Warriors and the team they have coming in on Thursday evening, the Sacramento Kings, they’ll look to begin November in the exact opposite fashion as they closed the month of October.
But back to October for a minute and in fact, immediately after their defeat to the Kings in Sacramento, Jimmy Butler had thoughts about the Miami Heat, their season, and their prospects on the season—even with the troubling start.
So, here’s the thing.
Winning a title in any professional sports league is tough, so you take that with the chances of doing it, in a normal situation, into consideration.
What is important here though about Jimmy Butler’s “proclamation” though is that he still has supreme belief in this team. He still believes that they have the ability to put themselves in a position of contention.
He still has the belief that they have just as good a shot as any other team in the Eastern Conference or the entire league to win a title. And you know what?
Jimmy Butler isn’t all that crazy to believe what he believes. Here’s why.
