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.”

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.

Bill Simmons
@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

@BradyHawk305
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
