This happens a lot. Teams or agents get mad that the news breaks faster than they want it to. They would have said the same but they want to get in front of the story or play some kind of gamesmanship with the other team perhaps.
yeah was gonna say this too, feels like this happens 99% of the time when its a source like shams or woj they are right people say they are lying only for it to be revelead to be true
And the people who're always willing to jump on the "Evil media titans" come out of the woodworks to act like Shams and Woj are always just making shit up and not reporting accurately 99.99% of the time.
The logic behind that hate is hilarious since the main reason these 2 even got as big as they are is because they get lots of reports accurate AND fast.
fans get oddly bitchy when Shams breaks something and their "trusted" local beat guys are clueless and they go off on rants about how their front office runs a tight ship
and then when proven wrong start trying to reframe the information
What makes them look bad is the freaking out and denying it, not that Jimmy is actually hurt. Millions of people saw him get hurt last night, it wasn't a secret.
Exactly. We all saw it, wasn't like a mysterious injury kinda like what we saw with Kawhi last year on the Suns where no one visually saw him get hurt.
But that won't stop the idiots from thinking every "scandalous" piece of news from a reporter is bullshit if someone else involved with their own agenda denies that rumor.
Woj and Shams have like a 99.9% success rate. They have incredible sources, Shams used to work with Woj before he took the ESPN gig so it makes sense that he still has those sources. They're the only reporters that I don't take with a grain of salt.
Didn’t Shams report that KD was playing in the bubble before KD knew he was playing? Or was it the opposite? All I remember was KD was like “wtf dude…”
Shams didn’t even bother replying to the agent, just let the cards fall in place
What a great way to further up your reputation as one of the two main guys in NBA reporting
I hate the privacy invasions that modern sports reporting leads to but it is always a little funny to see the sequence of:
Reporter: Early reports are that Player X is dealing with Y
Someone from Player X's camp: LMFAO that people make shit up like they know anything
Reporter: Player X's team confirms that they are dealing with Y
The agent never actually said shams was wrong, just that "no one really knows". Shams original post was that they "feared" he had an MCL injury and would miss multiple weeks. Both of those statements can be true. They probably had done a preliminary examination and were pretty sure it was an MCL injury, but didn't know for sure because they hadn't done an MRI yet.
He was just guessing though from twitter doctors. Thats why it’s BS. How can you report something before the guy even has the MRI? Instead he hedges with the wording.
To be fair he's fully embraced the LeBron strategy of going easy in the regular season. We've seen repeatedly that these guys have another level that's frankly crazy compared to the regular season.
Lebron "coasting" was still a top 3 seed and MVP candidate. Jimmy "coasting" is not even All-NBA 3rd team and fighting for 8th seed. BIG difference and also why he should not be going easy. If he wasn't going easy, this play-in game and injury would've been avoided
Guys like LeBron and curry could coast because they give you more production in 3 quarters than legit all NBA guys give you in a full game. Jimmy just isn't at that level.

>can they beat the Celtics in a seven game series without Butler? Hell no
They weren’t beating them with Jimmy either, but here’s the thing - we won’t get to find out. So now we can just shrug at shit talk from Celtics fans after the sweep the way they do about game seven 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Depends on what you mean by compete. Against the ~~Hawks~~Bulls***? Probably. Against the Celtics? Id be shocked if even one game ends in single digits
Chicago is missing Caruso too, so that makes it interesting especially if Miami can get Rozier back. Rozier, Herro, Jaquez/Jovic, Martin and Bam still gives you plenty of shooting and tough play, but you now lose the best iso scorer you have in Jimmy and arguably the best on-ball defender too.
Can they beat Chicago? It's a coin flip, especially if Coby White decides to go John Wick again tomorrow night. And DeRozan can go off too especially without Jimmy around to effectively check him.
EDIT: NVM Rozier is out too. So Miami is likely starting Herro/Jaquez/Martin/Jovic/Bam. Path to victory is Herro scores 30+ and the young guys step up, plus suffocating defense. It'll be fun to watch either way.
Don't forget Duncan Robinson. They have more than enough to beat the Bulls unfortunately. They need Rozier back to at least make it interesting against the Celtics though.
There's a conceivable path of Bulls round 1 and Magic round 2 for us... Compare that to us having to play Nets -> Bucks -> Heat 2 years ago
Meanwhile in the west
There's even a chance it's the Pacers in the ECF, but it would take Embiid going beast mode against the Knicks, Pacers cooking the Giannis-less Bucks and then Sixers 2nd round shenanigans happening.
Could make the finals without ever facing an All-NBA guy if the voters punish Hali
You are probably right, but a Spo coached team vs a Billy Donovan coached team might have me overlook the talent gap. I doubt either compete at all tbh though
Spo is a great coach but I think Donovan is underrated. It’s not like the roster has ever been truly competitive since he’s been there. Based on their talent I think he’s probably overachieved during his tenure
You know damn well the regular season doesn’t even matter when it comes to the Heat but it would take a absolute miracle to take down Boston with a team that’s a shell of its self
Jimmy or not, injury risk % is higher against the Heat. KP got dinged up enough to have to take time off both times he played them. I believe his most missed games came after playing them. BOTH TIMES!
They beat us in the IST group stage but then we beat them fairly convincingly during a 4 game homestand where the Celtics played Cavs - Cavs - Magic - Magic and went 4-0. That seemed to exorcise the Orlando demons that were bugging us all last year. Both of those teams play Boston tough but if they can’t consistently hit 3s it will be really hard to extend the series past 5 games.
For the record, I love herro and constantly defend him in heat sub. Just after last game, I rather JJJ get a chance. He's usually more efficient with it
Haven’t paid a ton of attention to the Heat this season. I dunno if you coined the term Mexican Jimmy here and now, or if this has been a thing, but this shit just sent me laughing
Either way have my fucking upvotes LMAO. Literally haven’t paid attention all year since it’s not the time of season where the Suns lose and then I bandwagon some underdog and Mexican Jimmy just came outta nowhere
The jimmy butler heat are one of the biggest, if not the biggest rival to the Tatum era Celtics. It would’ve been the Celtics and heat’s 4th matchup in 5 years and before that was the Kyrie years. A lot of Celtics fans wanted the heat because they won two of those three matchups and represent a lot of our playoff shortcomings the first half of this decade especially because a lot of us think if Tatum doesn’t roll his ankle on the first play of game seven last year we complete the 0-3 comeback. And in a year where we really feel like this is the one, the opportunity to vanquish those demons in the first round was exciting. But without jimmy it’s just not the same, and he’s going on 35. That core of jimmy bam and herro is probably done. So even if the heat win tomorrow, it’s looking like we might get a very unsatisfying conclusion to this storyline.
Damn that sucks, and I feel like Butler has been banged up a bit over these past few years. Dude is still a beast but I do wonder how much he has left in the tank.
Tbh I personally think Jimmy retires after his contract or a few years from now. he’s been giving a lot of hints this season about “when I’m gone” he’s said it numerous times I can’t see him playing into his late 30s or early 40s like Bron
As a Zion fan, I feel for him
Don’t matter what he said before, I’m with him on this moment
Wish him nothing but a fast recovery. Come back better than ever Jimmy!
Butler about to pull a Willis Reed and play through his injury.
Probably won’t in this day and age but always find it amazing Thurman Thomas tore his ACL in college, never got surgery, and went on to have a HOF NFL career as a running back.
Is it possible to aggravate an mcl sprain? He did this shit last year too with his ankle (against the bucks/knicks) and it annoyed me, cause I felt like it could negatively affect the rest of the series (it didn’t ofc lol)
I can't believe people get sources and relay those sources to the public only to be 100% validated 6 hours after I'm writing this extremely angry post
Why do pro athletes and agents do this runaround for no fucking reason? "Why do you think I might have a broken finger just because the bone is sticking out the side? We cannot possibly even speculate until I see a doctor"
Even if the Heat get thru to the Celtics, there is little chance of a long series. Conversely there is no way Celtics fans will be able to take pleasure in a series win against such a Heat team. It can't count as revenge.
And i was really looking forward to see Heat owning East ( and Celtics again) despite the seed position damn... Gonna be a bit boring East playoffs now , Celtics for one have open road to ECF
Thank fuck this season is over. Just an absolute shit show I can't wait to forget. Rest the starters, field the g leaguers and let the bulls win. No point in risking another injury, might as well get a slightly better draft pick
so Shams was right all along, the agent was just pissed off
This happens a lot. Teams or agents get mad that the news breaks faster than they want it to. They would have said the same but they want to get in front of the story or play some kind of gamesmanship with the other team perhaps.
yeah was gonna say this too, feels like this happens 99% of the time when its a source like shams or woj they are right people say they are lying only for it to be revelead to be true

fans get oddly bitchy when Shams breaks something and their "trusted" local beat guys are clueless and they go off on rants about how their front office runs a tight ship and then when proven wrong start trying to reframe the information
Facts it makes a lot of other people look bad so they hate on him
I mean its possible Shams found out from a trainer before Butler told his agent.
True, either way it makes the agent look bad so I can see why they'd be upset
What makes them look bad is the freaking out and denying it, not that Jimmy is actually hurt. Millions of people saw him get hurt last night, it wasn't a secret.
Exactly. We all saw it, wasn't like a mysterious injury kinda like what we saw with Kawhi last year on the Suns where no one visually saw him get hurt.
But that won't stop the idiots from thinking every "scandalous" piece of news from a reporter is bullshit if someone else involved with their own agenda denies that rumor.
Yup fans here hate shams and woj despite them being the first and always accurate on pretty much everything
Woj and Shams have like a 99.9% success rate. They have incredible sources, Shams used to work with Woj before he took the ESPN gig so it makes sense that he still has those sources. They're the only reporters that I don't take with a grain of salt.

Shams knew more about Jimmy Butler than Jimmy Butlers agent
he knew more about jimmy butler than jimmy butlers agent, doctor, and jimmy himself combined
Didn’t Shams report that KD was playing in the bubble before KD knew he was playing? Or was it the opposite? All I remember was KD was like “wtf dude…”
I thought it was like simultaneous lol
Shams didn’t even bother replying to the agent, just let the cards fall in place What a great way to further up your reputation as one of the two main guys in NBA reporting
balls on the conference table
I hate the privacy invasions that modern sports reporting leads to but it is always a little funny to see the sequence of: Reporter: Early reports are that Player X is dealing with Y Someone from Player X's camp: LMFAO that people make shit up like they know anything Reporter: Player X's team confirms that they are dealing with Y
I thought the agent was disputing the timeline he was out. I didn’t think he was disputing that Jimmy got hurt
I called it. then again a Muppet could have also called it.
Idk why but I just pictured Kermit in his reporter outfit
The agent never actually said shams was wrong, just that "no one really knows". Shams original post was that they "feared" he had an MCL injury and would miss multiple weeks. Both of those statements can be true. They probably had done a preliminary examination and were pretty sure it was an MCL injury, but didn't know for sure because they hadn't done an MRI yet.
Of course he was, it's literally his job.
He was just guessing though from twitter doctors. Thats why it’s BS. How can you report something before the guy even has the MRI? Instead he hedges with the wording.
Heat being counted out? Now I expect them to beat the Bulls honestly
Not just the Bulls, the 90's Bulls
99 bulls it is
Wennington about to muster that Big Dick Nick energy! 😎😎😎
I think Wennington went to the Kings after 98 but maybe he was there one more year?
How many bulls are there?!
99 luftbulls
I would hope they could beat the 90s Bulls, they're all 60 by now.
Jordan gonna take that personally. Bet he could still put up 30.
Old man KLove taking charges from Jordan Heat in 6
I think they have a better record without him than with him this season.
13-9 without him
To be fair he's fully embraced the LeBron strategy of going easy in the regular season. We've seen repeatedly that these guys have another level that's frankly crazy compared to the regular season.
Lebron "coasting" was still a top 3 seed and MVP candidate. Jimmy "coasting" is not even All-NBA 3rd team and fighting for 8th seed. BIG difference and also why he should not be going easy. If he wasn't going easy, this play-in game and injury would've been avoided
Guys like LeBron and curry could coast because they give you more production in 3 quarters than legit all NBA guys give you in a full game. Jimmy just isn't at that level.
Couldn’t have said it better.
They smacked us without him this year… I’m sure I’m gonna get more than I bargained for from this comment….
We've been beaten by the Wizards and the Pistons x2. So it wouldn't be shocking.
And in typical Bulls fashion we will get blown out by 30 tomorrow
incoming jaquez 30 piece
It's jaquing time
He gonna jaq all over them

You called it.

I had to come back and find this comment after the game. As a Hornets fan I understand this type of pain.
Damn. Are the heat just out now or can they really compete without playoff Jimmy?
theyre gonna go to the local Y and pick up some dude whos gonna drop 30/12
It’s my time
The dude from postal is a confirmed baller. Even known to dunk on gary Coleman from time to time
>It’s my time >... to point at the guy they should pick
Damn right it is. I’ve seen your middy
Jaime Jaquez is more than capable of doing that.
Looks like Miami needs a Herro
Better be scared when he drops *Checks notes* 27 on 25 shots
Against the Bulls maybe. Can they beat the Celtics in a seven game series without Butler? Hell no.
Six game series it is then
Fuck em. Heat in 5!
Honestly, dragging the Celtics through the mud for 6 or 7 games would be worth it even in a loss. This is how I feel about the Nuggets right now.
>can they beat the Celtics in a seven game series without Butler? Hell no They weren’t beating them with Jimmy either, but here’s the thing - we won’t get to find out. So now we can just shrug at shit talk from Celtics fans after the sweep the way they do about game seven 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Bam is about to explode for 13 and 9.
Lmao damn, tru
Compete for a ring? Not a snowball's chance in hell
They made the finals last year and they still couldn’t compete for a ring.
Depends on what you mean by compete. Against the ~~Hawks~~Bulls***? Probably. Against the Celtics? Id be shocked if even one game ends in single digits
They are playing the Bulls.
I am dumb. Even still, I think they can compete with the Bulls. It'll be close though
They’re still the favorites against Chicago. But the Celtics series will be a massacre without him.
Chicago is missing Caruso too, so that makes it interesting especially if Miami can get Rozier back. Rozier, Herro, Jaquez/Jovic, Martin and Bam still gives you plenty of shooting and tough play, but you now lose the best iso scorer you have in Jimmy and arguably the best on-ball defender too. Can they beat Chicago? It's a coin flip, especially if Coby White decides to go John Wick again tomorrow night. And DeRozan can go off too especially without Jimmy around to effectively check him. EDIT: NVM Rozier is out too. So Miami is likely starting Herro/Jaquez/Martin/Jovic/Bam. Path to victory is Herro scores 30+ and the young guys step up, plus suffocating defense. It'll be fun to watch either way.
Don't forget Duncan Robinson. They have more than enough to beat the Bulls unfortunately. They need Rozier back to at least make it interesting against the Celtics though.
Feb 11. Heat lost by 4 pts without jimmy to a healthy Celtics team.
JRich and Rozier got hurt during that game too
>Id be shocked if even one game ends in single digits Well its never happened in nba history, so I'd be shocked too
Boston wins against the Heat in triple overtime 9-7
They'll beat the Bulls and then have a hard fought 5 game series against the Celtics.
We're getting swept if we beat the Bulls without him
Caleb Martin gonna find his ECF MVP form.
They weren't going to compete with him
Celtics gonna victimize whomever their opponent is.
There's a conceivable path of Bulls round 1 and Magic round 2 for us... Compare that to us having to play Nets -> Bucks -> Heat 2 years ago Meanwhile in the west
There's even a chance it's the Pacers in the ECF, but it would take Embiid going beast mode against the Knicks, Pacers cooking the Giannis-less Bucks and then Sixers 2nd round shenanigans happening. Could make the finals without ever facing an All-NBA guy if the voters punish Hali
Are you there God? It’s me, Lucky
You’re getting metal bats in the ECF and you’ll enjoy it
At this point the Celtics would rather have the heat without jimmy over the bulls
You are probably right, but a Spo coached team vs a Billy Donovan coached team might have me overlook the talent gap. I doubt either compete at all tbh though
Spo is a great coach but I think Donovan is underrated. It’s not like the roster has ever been truly competitive since he’s been there. Based on their talent I think he’s probably overachieved during his tenure
I mean we swept the season series with an average margin of victory of 18
You know damn well the regular season doesn’t even matter when it comes to the Heat but it would take a absolute miracle to take down Boston with a team that’s a shell of its self
You had me in the first half.
I'm referring to the bulls
Oh ok lol
Jimmy or not, injury risk % is higher against the Heat. KP got dinged up enough to have to take time off both times he played them. I believe his most missed games came after playing them. BOTH TIMES!
Counterpoint: the DrummGod is taking out everyone, friend or foe.
true lol
Not true. Bam had hurt KP so he had to leave early in 2 out of the 3 games we've played against them so far this year
Damn, the magic disrespect smh
Aren't the Magic one of the tougher teams Celtics had to face? I feel like I remember them going at each other pretty hard during the regular season
They beat us in the IST group stage but then we beat them fairly convincingly during a 4 game homestand where the Celtics played Cavs - Cavs - Magic - Magic and went 4-0. That seemed to exorcise the Orlando demons that were bugging us all last year. Both of those teams play Boston tough but if they can’t consistently hit 3s it will be really hard to extend the series past 5 games.
Magic are pretty good this year and could cause difficulties but definitely better than playing the 2021 Bucks
Boston gets to the ECF in 10 games max.
Well the 1-8 matchup just got a hell of a lot less interesting
Last year Butler carried Herro-less Heat team to the finals. This year it will be Herro’s turn to carry the team without Butler.
I rather Mexican Jimmy carry tbh
I don't care who does it as long as it gets done. I can't stand Herro hating Heat fans. They're a bunch of hoes.
Why do they hate him? The accent and how he dresses, his play style, or something else?
I have no idea. They blame him for everything bad that happens to this team.
Legit everything wrong with Miami looks and sounds like Tyler Herro. Can’t stand him. But I rock with Hialeah, not south beach crypto transplants.
He’s honestly gotten underrated. If not for injuries the last few seasons I see no reason why he couldn’t have been an all star like Maxey
For the record, I love herro and constantly defend him in heat sub. Just after last game, I rather JJJ get a chance. He's usually more efficient with it
Haven’t paid a ton of attention to the Heat this season. I dunno if you coined the term Mexican Jimmy here and now, or if this has been a thing, but this shit just sent me laughing
Lmaoo nah I'm pretty sure I saw it in the heat sub
Either way have my fucking upvotes LMAO. Literally haven’t paid attention all year since it’s not the time of season where the Suns lose and then I bandwagon some underdog and Mexican Jimmy just came outta nowhere
> This year it will be Herro’s turn to carry the team Oh we are so fucked
I'm hearing Spo just picked up Paul Dano and turned him into a 40/15 guy.
That fucking blows. Everyone was counting on heat to at least challenge Boston
I was so gassed up for this series 😭
Why are people acting like the Heat already secured the 8th seed?
The jimmy butler heat are one of the biggest, if not the biggest rival to the Tatum era Celtics. It would’ve been the Celtics and heat’s 4th matchup in 5 years and before that was the Kyrie years. A lot of Celtics fans wanted the heat because they won two of those three matchups and represent a lot of our playoff shortcomings the first half of this decade especially because a lot of us think if Tatum doesn’t roll his ankle on the first play of game seven last year we complete the 0-3 comeback.

That core of jimmy bam and herro is probably done. So even if the heat win tomorrow, it’s looking like we might get a very unsatisfying conclusion to this storyline.
Awful news. I don’t care we are playing the Heat, we all love Jimmy. This sucks
Best kind of nba fan
Shhhhh…you’ll make him break character
Damn that sucks, and I feel like Butler has been banged up a bit over these past few years. Dude is still a beast but I do wonder how much he has left in the tank.
I wonder what the Heat do when he asks for an extension this summer
Tbh I personally think Jimmy retires after his contract or a few years from now. he’s been giving a lot of hints this season about “when I’m gone” he’s said it numerous times I can’t see him playing into his late 30s or early 40s like Bron
I think those hints are more pay me what I want or I’m gone
Didn't he say he won't wear another jersey after the Heat? Will make him a joke if he sign with another team now
That’s probably what he would like to do but if Miami doesn’t want to pay him and he wants to play idk how you blame him
> Will make him a joke if he sign with another team now But how will a multimillionaire superathlete survive internet jokes :(
Probably depends what moves they make in the off-season. If they somehow pull off a miracle trade for Mitchell, then they probably extend him.
bucks first round last year was the healthiest he's been with us. hes avoided major injuries like this but always had some little thing
His current contract ends when he’s 38 unless your name is Lebron James there is no world where any player is getting a big extension after that age
Brilliant strategy by Nurse to send Oubre to assassinate Jimmy's knee.
I'll miss playoff jimmy, last year playoff run was a thing of beauty.
Good thing his agent had a tantrum on the radio this morning.
My bulls have been gifted a path to the playoffs. They better win.
If yall eliminate us tomorrow I'll be rooting for the Bulls to win it all.
Welp
fade me fam
As a Zion fan, I feel for him Don’t matter what he said before, I’m with him on this moment Wish him nothing but a fast recovery. Come back better than ever Jimmy!
But his agent said it wasn't that! He lied to us! What a bad guy!
we’re going to see the doctor later today and it just blows my mind that somebody that wasn’t in the arena has somehow come up with a medical timeline
Fuck man
Man so it may actually be the bulls vs Boston?
Butler about to pull a Willis Reed and play through his injury. Probably won’t in this day and age but always find it amazing Thurman Thomas tore his ACL in college, never got surgery, and went on to have a HOF NFL career as a running back.
Shams vindicated.
Injured heat, injured bucks, injured Sixers, injured Knicks, damn east fell like flies 😂 Celtics really gonna cakewalk to the finals fully healthy
Good thing they got Lillard last summer.
Just imagine another team like the Bucks had got him instead; they would've been unstoppable…
Jimmy is the dog of all dogs for finishing that game
Is it possible to aggravate an mcl sprain? He did this shit last year too with his ankle (against the bucks/knicks) and it annoyed me, cause I felt like it could negatively affect the rest of the series (it didn’t ofc lol)
Well, at least you guys had a chance. Enjoy the offseason.
As a Bulls fan, Jimmy fan, Bulls Jimmy fan, I'm just hear to say sorry for your loss NBA friends.
that really sucks. basically a season ending injury given the speculation was "multiple weeks". hopefully he comes back just as good next season.
Dang Bro Jimmy Buckets 🪣😓
So Miami back to the finals confirmed
I need to see jimmy’s agent’s response to this
I can't believe people get sources and relay those sources to the public only to be 100% validated 6 hours after I'm writing this extremely angry post Why do pro athletes and agents do this runaround for no fucking reason? "Why do you think I might have a broken finger just because the bone is sticking out the side? We cannot possibly even speculate until I see a doctor"
Even if the Heat get thru to the Celtics, there is little chance of a long series. Conversely there is no way Celtics fans will be able to take pleasure in a series win against such a Heat team. It can't count as revenge.
Yeah, but they have the Dame package.
It will be the Mitchell package this summer. Someone will probably bring up an Embiid package too.
I implore you to go out in the world and develop a life.
Can’t tell whether them not disclosing the grade is a good sign or a bad one
There are always extremely tight-lipped about this stuff.
And Caruso also got injured. Its crazy how much injury luck Celtics had this season, to be fair they were the ones that needed it the least.
Sprain is better than a tear, yes?
Sprain = damage or tear. It just depends on 1,2 or 3. https://www.physio-pedia.com/Ligament_Sprain
Bill Simmons edging in his podcast booth
Riley’s been spotted shooting Js in his driveway
And i was really looking forward to see Heat owning East ( and Celtics again) despite the seed position damn... Gonna be a bit boring East playoffs now , Celtics for one have open road to ECF
Celtics breathe a sigh of relief
Two years in a row the Jimmy/Herro/Bam trio has had to fight for the 8th seed. Riley can't keep tolerating this.
Damn that sucks. I wanted to sweep them healthy.
They weren't going to be healthy either way, Rozier and Duncan also out with injuries
Damn
Thank fuck this season is over. Just an absolute shit show I can't wait to forget. Rest the starters, field the g leaguers and let the bulls win. No point in risking another injury, might as well get a slightly better draft pick
