The Heat's drama is more exciting than "Empresses in the Palace"! The Heat lost by 36 points at home to the Jazz, which is a huge upset! You might think the Jazz players were on drugs! But behind this, there's actually a more exciting internal conflict than a palace intrigue drama. Jimmy Butler: It's too hard for me! Let's talk about our leading man, Jimmy Butler. This guy is known as a tough guy, domineering on the court, and a ruthless character off the court. But this time, he was suspended for 7 games! The reason is "repeated actions that harm the team." Excuse me? Isn't this charge too vague? Be more specific, what exactly did you do? Did you steal Riley's donut or hide Spoelstra's tactics board? It's said that Butler has always been a "troublemaker," constantly battling with coaches and teammates. When he was with the Timberwolves, he directly led the team to "teach" the main players because he couldn't stand their lazy training attitude. At the 76ers, he had a falling out with head coach Brown. This time with the Heat, it's probably the same old problem. Pat Riley: I'm the boss! But this matter can't be blamed entirely on Butler. Heat President Pat Riley is known as the "iron-blooded godfather." In his eyes, rules are bigger than the sky, and whoever dares to challenge his authority will be dealt with! Back then, even a meritorious veteran like Wade was "swept out the door" because contract negotiations didn't work out. Now that Butler has gotten into trouble,…

NBA's top-paid players are really hard to understand. They start to perform poorly and their stats keep dropping. The key is that they are making so much money but still playing so badly. It makes fans afraid to watch games, for fear that their favorite stars will collapse again. George this season is really unbearable to watch, averaging only 16.5 points, which can't even beat a rookie. He is supposed to be an All-Star level small forward, but his shooting percentage has dropped to 41.5%, and his three-point shooting is only 32.8%. These stats are worlds apart from last season. The most outrageous thing is that in 21 games, he had 12 games with a shooting percentage below 40%. This level of performance is just that of a substitute player, yet he is paid the top salary in the league. This money is really not worth it. Williams, the rookie, averages 21 points and has a higher shooting efficiency than George. The key is that his salary is only one-ninth of George's. This comparison is really painful to see. VanVleet on the Rockets also has a lot to say about his performance, averaging 15 points and 6 assists, which looks pretty average. His shooting percentage has dropped to 37.5%, and his three-point shooting has set a new career low. In 31 games, he had 10 games with a shooting percentage below 30%, and another 8 games with a shooting percentage below 40%. This level of performance really doesn't match his top salary contract. What's most frustrating is that he also…

Jimmy Butler, one of the star players for the Miami Heat, recently told reporters, "No matter what I do now, I won't get more money. I've already made enough money; I'm staying here just to win games." The 35-year-old Butler proposed a 2-year, 120millioncontractextensionthissummer,whichwasdirectlyrejectedbyPatRiley,theHeat′spresident.Atthesametime,theHeatchosetocompletea3−year,120 million contract extension this summer, which was directly rejected by Pat Riley, the Heat's president. At the same time, the Heat chose to complete a 3-year, 120millioncontractextensionthissummer,whichwasdirectlyrejectedbyPatRiley,theHeat′spresident.Atthesametime,theHeatchosetocompletea3−year,166 million top-tier contract extension with Bam Adebayo. Riley's actions indicate two facts: first, the team leader is no longer Butler but Adebayo; second, Butler's injury risks and his unconventional hairstyle do not quite fit with the Heat's culture. Butler only played 60 games last season due to injuries, averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Both his attendance rate and various statistics have declined compared to the 2022-23 season. Notably, Butler missed the playoffs due to injury, leading to the Heat's elimination in the first round of the playoffs. Of course, even if Butler had played, last year's Celtics would still have been unbeatable. However, Butler should not have boasted on social media, "If I were there, I could crush the Celtics!" This comment greatly displeased Pat Riley, who immediately responded, "Those who cannot appear in the playoffs have no right to speak." Butler may realize that he has crossed Riley's bottom line, and he has become much more honest. First, he used to show off his unconventional hairstyle every year, but this year it's just a traditional braid. Second, he didn't participate in…

In an NBA regular season game, the Houston Rockets lost at home to the Miami Heat with a score of 100-104. Despite significant progress this season, the Rockets still lack the temperament of a strong team. In their previous game, they suffered a disappointing reversal at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves after leading by 16 points in the final quarter, ending their winning streak. The Rockets are in need of a reliable star player to lead the team to victory. Currently, they rely on a group of players with average strength and talent but lack a decisive figure in critical moments. Following this game, the Rockets' record stands at 21 wins and 11 losses. Even without Jimmy Butler, the Heat managed to reverse the game against the Rockets, who also had multiple players ejected from the court. The Rockets started the game well, with VanVleet hitting a three-pointer and Shen Jing dominating the paint. Jalen Green was fouled beyond the three-point line, earning three free throws, and Dillon returned with good shooting form, quickly helping the Rockets take the lead. However, Green's consecutive misses and VanVleet's declining shooting percentage allowed the Heat to capitalize, with their backcourt duo of Herro and Rozier playing more consistently. The Rockets' initial advantage disappeared as the Heat turned the tide of the game. Amon Thompson and White魔兽Whitmore, the twin stars, came off the bench to inject energy into the Rockets' lineup. Amon unselfishly fed Whitmore, allowing him to score repeatedly. Although the Rockets' bench played with passion, the Heat maintained the lead, with…
