Butler-less Miami Heat destroyed by lottery-bound Jazz | Five on the Floor
Playing their first game since the front office suspended Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat looked completely lost and listless, losing to the Utah Jazz by 36 at home. Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander assess all that went wrong, including a no field goal effort from Bam Adebayo. Are they distracted? Or just bad?

If Bam keeps playing like that please Pat trade him!!!
The WORST possible thing the Heat could do is continue to pretend Bam is a star & try to force offense for him. That would be a DISASTER! His offense is bad! Offense comes easy for: Tyler, Duncan, Niko, & Ware. Lean into them. Those are the players you run offense for. EVERYONE else is on cleanup duty and 3pt shooting. That’s it! JJJ can post up some & Rozier can sit next to JRich & KLove. There Spo, I fixed it for you.
Maybe Jimmy doesn’t deserve a max but neither did Bam. The question is can Pat do anything right?
& wtf is the deal with Spo? Terry starting again??
Trade Bam
Excuses, Excuses, no matter what, BAM NO OFFENSIVE GAME, CANT CREATE OWN SHOT, NO POST MOVES, SHAKY SHOOTER, NOT MAX PLAYER,
Heat players know they ain’t ever going to the finals again without jimmy, that’s why they playing like shit, jimmy is the heart of this team, he’s the floor general and leader of this team, mentor to jovic, he’s jjj’s favorite player, not surprised if heat have a bad road trip these next 6 games
If that continous trade Bam & Jimmy for Bane
Jimmy is toxic he's a cancer to every team! Get rid of him asap!
Jimmy wouldn't have moved the needle. Trade him to the Grizzlies for Smart, others and picks and we'll be alot better
Good game to see character players . Bam is not & will never be true leader and showing is a cuestionable Max player 🤷🏽♂️😞
If Ware and Bam play together no one can get into the paint. But Spo true to his first love small ball will die before playing a good 7 footer (not kelly o soft) next to Bam. We're trapped in a vicious cycle of mediocrity thanks to Spo.
The intro song is aging like milk…
They need to OKC this entire thing, trade Bam & Herro for a load of 1st round picks, along with Terry, Hayward & Duncan, keep the young guys, move forward with the Kal’els the Pelle’s the Jaquez’s the Niko’s the Keshad’s the Josh Christopher’s the Isiah Steven’s and the Dru Smith’s of the world…. Let’s take 8 steps back to take 15 steps forward.
Brilliant coach spo made another hell no decision.
Terryble Rozier 0-11 from 2 past two games, let me start him so he can go another 0-5 from 3 this game too. 😱
No more Herro glazing trade his ass asap he’s about to get exposed (AGAIN ) !
Butler somewhere laughing to himself saying ya'll didn't pay me but paid Bambi Abumyoooo who when I was out scored 4 points against the Orlando bench unit and when I quit on the team Bambi quit on the court making ZERO shots against the tanking Jazz.
Some team captain 👏 😂🤣🤣🤣💪👀
Is time to get rid of the "In Pat we trust" intro 😮
We have to question spos coaching. Why change the starting lineups again??? Players don’t know their roles. Heat culture a disgrace!!!
Jimmy covered for Spo's ineffective small ball philosophy and he freed up Bam to do all those things he likes to do except scoring. Bam has been a flop this year and he & Spo have made excuses as to why it isn't priority that he scores the ball because of his other responsibilities. Spo and Bam will have to change their approach. We know Spo doesn't do change and Bam isn't the most assertive person out there. At this point losing by double digits will be a regular occurrence so hopefully Spo gets the youngsters some playing time and experience until they can bring in another star who can right the ship.
Just shows jimmy wasnt the problem
Jimmys a 2way player….now its full of 1 demintional players …..tyler 😂😂
Time to TANK!!!
Wish we were lottery bound
Bam needs to be traded asap
Worst loss in team history?
No matter what you say about when Jimmy plays , he still draws the most attention on the team , so Tyler and Bam are going to get the focus from the other teams defense, when they're doubled whose going to generate offense consistently
Lynnette should have been the player of the game
Guys Has Bam ever been a Max Player??????
Has Jimmy's value just gone up??
When is Pat going to be held accountable?
For the love of god JUST TANK
What if the team feels like there time is being wasted by them not resigning Jimmy
Clean house including Spo smh…
Trap floor lol
Riley tried to show up Jimmy putting the 'Heat Culture' on the center court thinking they would beat the tanking Jazz who were on a 5-game lose streak. Instead they got molly whopped.
Riley has stopped looking out for MIA's future and instead is letting his ego get in the way. I know Riley is pissed. I would not be surprised to see Riley take less back and trade Jimmy to a team like DET (for Tobias) or Sac (for Derozan)
Only downhill from here
These media frauds better get used to life without Jimmy this is gonna be it losing to the lottery team Jazz, jimmy is the only reason the heat was relevant and the fact that these guys are turning on him and blaming him is sad.
I'm disappointed to hear some of our heat fans. Smh why would anyone want to play here with fans like this? 😂 Anyway, I still support the team, spo, and Riley. I'm not going to abandon them. We'll ride this through and hopefully become better from it.
They need to trade Bam
