The NBA regular season continued, with the Heat sitting at home today to meet the Warriors, and in the end they lost to the Warriors 104:118, and most of the Warriors' main players today chose to truce. Thompson, Green, and Porter didn't make a scene, and the Heat's loss to such a remnant Warriors as the number one in the East is really incomprehensible. So much so that today the Heat players had a fierce friction in the team during the game, and Butler became the protagonist of this incident.
Butler first had a verbal altercation with head coach Spollstra, and the two scolded each other on the sidelines, and then heat veteran Haslem joined the scolding battle, Butler even threatened to beat Haslem, and the Heat bench was suddenly caught in a scolding battle. There is no doubt that the reason why the two sides are in a scolding battle is largely because they have not played well against such a remnant Warriors team, and Butler seems to be quite dissatisfied with the team's performance.
Although it stands to reason that Butler's spirit should be encouraging. But his way of venting is obviously extremely unwise and will greatly affect the atmosphere of the team. Butler's current positioning on the Heat is not a boss, which should be acceptable. Maybe Butler himself had acquiesced in his heart that he was already the boss of the Heat. But in the minds of the Heat's players, he didn't reach this level at all, and Butler's ability didn't belong to the category of supergiants.
Butler is really self-righteous, knowing that Spollstra is the heat's meritorious head coach, and even James was very respectful of him. And Haslem is the Heat's veritable spiritual leader. Butler's blatant challenge to the authority of both Heat is truly incredible. And this isn't the first time Butler has done so in his career.
Butler looks more like a problem player, and no matter which team he plays for, the dressing room doesn't get too peaceful. Whether it's the Bulls before him, the Timberwolves, or the Heat now, he's prone to friction with his teammates. Perhaps Butler himself needs to hint at reflecting on himself. His approach can really hurt the feelings between his teammates and the atmosphere between the teams. It will even affect their playoff competition.
While the Heat players including Spollstra believe the matter is over. But there is no doubt that a shadow must have been planted in their hearts. Whether the relationship within the team can continue to be handled in a friendly manner in the future is still unknown, after all, this is what happened before the camera, and it is bound to be magnified by the outside world. Let's wait and see what happens next, to see if this event will affect their future impact on the championship.
