Without Butler and Terry Rozier, the Heat were no match for the eventual championships. The Celtics won in five games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_c55oom9oh\">In the Netflix documentary, Starting Five, Butler explained the feeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5yrrz5yo4\">&#8220;Right after the game, we went and got the MRI and it said a severe MCL sprain,&#8221; Butler said. &#8220;He was like, `I can&#8217;t believe that you actually went back out there and started running and playing on this. I was like, `yeah, I thought I could do something.&#8217; I thought I was superhuman.

The injury occurred when Oubre tried to block Butler&#8217;s shot near the rim. Butler felt Oubre jumped recklessly, causing Butler to fall awkwardly. The Heat were never the same after the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_s5ykvq5lq\">&#8220;[Expletive] Kelly Oubre jumping in the air doing wrestling moves on people, which is crazy,&#8221; Butler said. &#8220;I was like, `Yea, we got this one in the bag.&#8217; Injuries happen, man. Damn, injuries happen.&#8221;&#8216;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_p3nhuhcrk\">The good news is Butler is healthy again. So is Rozier, who was sidelined with a neck injury. Even though the Heat made zero major offseason moves, they feel a healthy core of Rozier, Butler, Jaime Jaquez, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, makes a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Heat season ended five months ago the moment forward Jimmy Butler sustained a knee injury against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Play-In Tournament.
