Jimmy Butler and Haslem got into in during a timeout of the Heat game. Jimmy has really struggled to stay healthy this year and he will be getting 50+ million a year very soon.

Just saw the clip. It's time for Udonis Haslem to retire. You can't initiate that with the team's best player. Get your shit and get out.

For the record, butler was saying he was going to kick spoelstras ass. Spo asked you want to fight me? And that is when haslem stepped in and said if you want to fight we can fight in the back to butler.

I'm embarrassed I got so excited when the Wolves traded for Butler...he's a punk, and always will be. There may not be a player in the entire association as respected as Haslem, and I rank Spoelstra high also, so I doubt there were many fans or players cheering for Butler in that dustup last night! I loved the toughness Spo showed in getting in Butler's face...maybe things would have turned out better here if Thibs (or any of our players) would have shown a little of that toughness toward Butler. And Haslem and Tucker weren't about to let Butler get away with any of his childish crap...more evidence of why you need some tough leaders on a team, and we finally have that with PatBev...loved how he got in Jimmy's face earlier this season.

All that said, I was impressed with the way the Heat handled everything after the altercation and post-game. Spo got in Butler's face, but still let him play 41 minutes. And the post-game comments from the coach and players were right on the mark...it's telling that Baby Boy Butler didn't speak at the post-game (to the best of my knowledge). Miami is good and having a nice season, but I still think they're destined for a first round loss if they're matched up against the Nets...even if Simmons remains out with his herniated disc. The relaxation of the NY rules mean Irving will be playing home games now too, and I think they have a little too much for the Heat. But we'll see...I'll be cheering for the Heat if that's the matchup.

Surprisingly close game tonight with Denver playing Oklahoma City. 95-90 with about 8:00 left in the fourth quarter. Maybe we get some surprising help.

I'm watching the game on ballys App. Jokic just took a like to eye it's super red. Might be a Corna Scratch.

OKC obviously tanking what a joke hate the NBA that's the ball game. They went to a 1-2-2 zone with 4 mins left and just let joker do what he wanted.

Welp. The Thunder lost as expected, but dammit they were right there. I got my hopes up a little bit.

Also, Poku sucks major ass.

Spurs beat the Pels tonight making it a legit 3 team race for those last 2 play in spots. The Pelicans and Lakers play each other twice this coming week.

Tyus Jones is going to be handsomely paid this off season, happy for him!
