The NBA doldrums tend to run from Christmas through the All-Star break, the league seemingly only awakening at the NBA trade deadline, which is Thursday, and in that case it most reinvigorates front offices.
To forward Jimmy Butler, that is where the Heat seemingly stand, coming off a 1-3 trip, with Wednesday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers at Miami-Dade Arena up next.
“I feel like the whole league right now is in a little rut/funk and everybody’s kind of like right there when it comes to records or lapses, which is not what we want to do,” Butler said. “We’re not even talking about before the break. We’re talking about win every game, we’ll be in good shape.”
