@BryanKalbrosky
Jimmy Butler is tired of ESPN changing his photo with dreadlocks from media day.
“When I come back after the All-Star break, I’m going to have dreads and everybody is going to have to use that picture again.”

The 2 best plays of the night for the Heat:
First one begins in transition with Butler receiving in mid-post with Garland defending
Allen making the decision to double back and forth, but Butler waits it out
As he comes for the double again, Bam drifts baseline and he hits him pic.twitter.com/1W8xaHlUM4 – 11:48 AM

Last night’s #Cavs loss to the Heat showed their potential and their youth all wrapped into one game. And while there are feelings of disappointment, it’s a part of their need to gain these experiences.
But the sky is not falling.

Not sure if there’s another team that switches between different defensive coverages more than the Heat.
We saw some zone, man-to-man switching and man-to-man drop in last night’s fourth quarter. – 10:42 AM

Tom Brady knows offense.
Tom Brady has a home in Miami.
Tom Brady likes Hard Rock Stadium.
The Hurricanes need an offensive coordinator.
I’m just trying to get on @BoardGeniuses with this take.
(No, I’m not serious. Except for the MBG part.) – 9:58 AM

@MichaelVPina
evan mobley was by far the best player on the floor last night. aggressive offense, badly outplayed bam, guarded jimmy most of the game, +16 in 39 minutes and his team lost by 3 – 9:48 AM

@BillSimmons
My take: if Brady was playing in 2023, it was either for Miami or Sean Payton’s next team. Miami recommitted to Tua last week. Payton took Denver (w/ Russ) yesterday. Not a coincidence TB retired today. It’s abrupt b/c he ran out of options. Fox has SB next week… did they know? – 9:39 AM

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell called Tuesday a playoff-like test. It certainly had some May elements. Strategical chess match with varied defensive coverages. Tight rotations. A game of mostly halfcourt execution. The Cavs didn’t quite pass the test.

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell after tonight’s loss to Miami: “I want it to be known that the sky, it’s not falling. We are in good shape, but we have to find that level of consistency to be a great team. We’re playing as if we are a young team and haven’t been there.” – 10:42 PM

Exactly.”

Surprisingly, no midrange attempts yet. Just a heap of good shot selection bricks. – 8:41 PM

If Butler gets a Garland type switch, the Heat’s offense is at their best
He will sit there and wait for you to make a decision
He will post up onto the low block in single coverage, or find a cutter if a double is sent
He’s so good in that range – 8:00 PM

Caris LeVert drains a 3-pointer at the buzzer to put the #Cavs up 26-24 over Miami after the first quarter. Really fun game so far. Cavs starting group defensively was awesome. Pretty interesting to see Cleveland attempt 13 3-pointers in the first quarter. – 7:36 PM

Down 11 early, Heat go into second period down 26-24 to Cavaliers. Butler with 11 points for Heat. Martin with five rebounds. Herro three assists. – 7:35 PM

@BradyHawk305
No Butler, Bam lineup in now
Herro drawing 2, hits Robinson for and-1
If they can survive this stretch offensively… – 7:35 PM

@ChrisFedor
Lots of trapping from the Heat. Something I’d expect from opponents in the playoffs. And #Cavs Dean Wade cans the open 3-pointer — a good way to burn the strategy. That extra shooter/spacer is so vital. – 7:31 PM

@IraHeatBeat
Jimmy Butler not hold back with his offense tonight, on a night the Heat need it all and need it early. – 7:29 PM

@ChrisFedor
#Cavs have subbed in Dean Wade, Caris LeVert and Ricky Rubio in the first quarter. Add in the starters and those are the top 8. As I wrote recently, they are committed to seeing if Wade can help their current 3/4 issue. – 7:27 PM

Heat 3 of 11 from field, 5 turnovers, as we await a new offensive coordinator. – 7:23 PM

@Anthony_Chiang
Heat has the No. 22 half-court offense. Cavaliers have the No. 6 half-court defense.
Looks that way so far. – 7:22 PM

Heat has only 1 big in game. Bam Adebayo can’t guard both Allen and Mobley. – 7:20 PM

Cavaliers: 0
Heat 4
The opposite of the Heat’s (or any team’s) winning formula. – 7:20 PM

Simply keeping this Heat team together in the coming months could result in a tax bill of nearly $100 million in 15 months (not happening). That’s why Heat needs to start moving money, with two obvious contracts the easiest way to achieve flexibility: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 12:53 PM

@BradyHawk305
So it feels like we might actually get a healthy Heat-Cavs matchup for once
I wonder how the Heat will matchup with them exactly
Lowry on Garland?
Herro on Okoro
Martin on Mitchell?
Butler on Mobley
Bam on Allen
Prob doesn’t matter with all the switching, but just wonder… – 11:32 AM

@kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Kevin Love was out here after shootaround this morning putting up some shots. He is still listed as probable. – 11:26 AM

@flasportsbuzz
Vincent(questionable) said intent is to play tonight in Cleveland. Would expect Butler (questionable) to play as well….. Spoelstra said he expects both Bam and Jimmy to make all star team, to be announced Thursday night – 11:26 AM

@kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Jarrett Allen doesn’t always focus on the bigger picture because he doesn’t want forget about the moment. He’s always been like that.

@BradyHawk305
I wonder if either team tonight cracks 90 lol
The Cavs being the best defense in basketball, and bottom 5 in PPG
Heat top 5 defense, bottom 5 offense
Winner could be who forces more turnovers, which Miami can do – 10:45 AM

@wcgoldberg
Heat’s worst loss of the season came against the Cavs in November. This is a tough matchup, especially with Jimmy Butler questionable.
Also an important one. The Heat are 2.5 games behind Cleveland for the 5 seed & just one game ahead of the Knicks for 7. Play both this week. – 10:35 AM

@BradyHawk305
Heat are 2-3 in Cleveland since Butler arrived in Miami
Tough matchup tonight, which is why the effort levels in Charlotte were so odd
Butler questionable as well
Let’s see what happens… – 10:05 AM

NEW: Heat absolutely must make a significant move in next 10 days or next 14 months for a reason beyond the obvious (they’re not good enough). The other reason that has gone under the radar: Financial/roster consequences are devastating if they don’t: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 9:05 AM
