Also Jimmy Butler talked about yelling “Sky-hook” before his shot:
“I just had to let everybody know that’s the shot I was gonna do, and there’s nothing that anybody can do about it.” – 11:04 PM

Spo is basing his rotations on tethering Jimmy Butler to Kevin Love and Bam Adebayo to Duncan Robinson. Smart (especially with Herro out). – 8:56 PM

Extraordinario.
Jimmy Butler sabe que Nikola Jovic debe tener el moco caído con su asignación a Sioux Falls, Montana en el @NBAGLeague.
Para animarlo, va an Oshkosh, Wisconsin para verlo jugar.
Tipazo.

More on this storyline
Brady Hawk: Jimmy Butler with more trolling postgame: “I’m in a 3-point shooting slump right now. So I gotta go to what I know, which is the skyhook.” “I just be out there doing stuff, but I’m more disappointed I’m hurting my team with my 3 point percentage right now.” -via Twitter @BradyHawk305 / November 21, 2023
Ball Don’t Lie: Jimmy Butler went to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to watch Nikola Jovic and the Sioux Falls Skyforce play the Wisconsin Herd 😅🙌 pic.twitter.com/AnpoAGKC9P -via Twitter @Balldontlie / November 20, 2023
Butler entered Monday night’s matchup against the Chicago Bulls at United Center shooting 13 of 29 (44.8 percent) from three-range this season, which is the most efficient three-point shooting percentage among Heat players who have taken at least 20 three-point attempts. Not only is Butler making threes at a standout rate, he has also attempted more this season. He entered Monday averaging 2.6 three-point attempts per game, which would be the most he has put up per game since joining the Heat in the 2019 offseason. -via Miami Herald / November 20, 2023
Forward Nikola Jovic hasn’t played much with the Miami Heat so far this season, so he’s being sent to the G League. “He needs to play,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday of the decision to send Jovic to the organization’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. “That’s the most important thing.” -via Miami Herald / November 18, 2023
