The Miami Heat have a game to worry about on Wednesday evening and their own stars’ health to manage as they head into it. The longevity of their best players for sustained stretches and the most important parts of the year will, more than likely, determine just how far this Miami Heat team can go.
With Jimmy Butler having missed quite a few games this year, making sure he is healthy near the end of the year and into the postseason is the most important thing. Because as has been indicated by the last few seasons, as he goes, so do they.
Now, he can take them as far as they want and need to go, but he has to be present and with the roster to do that. That though, at this very moment, is just background noise.
Right now and to, both, the notion of having a game to play and the longevity of their current players along the roster, the Miami Heat’s head coach recently had kind words to say about one of his former players and a guy that is the opposition on Wednesday.
You probably already know who that player is.
