Meanwhile, former Heat star Jimmy Butler and the Golden State Warriors advanced to the conference semifinals after winning a Game 7 on the road as the seventh seed.
Butler, who was traded away earlier this season after a public dispute with management and multiple team suspensions, spoke on his time with the Warriors.
He made a particular comment that caught the eye of some Heat fans.
“It’s always good to be wanted and appreciated for your skill set and your talent,” Butler said. “Here they welcomed me with open arms and let me be the player that I am and it fit into what they do so incredibly well.
Butler averaged 18.3 points, six rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals in the series. The numbers would have been higher if not for an injury in Game 2 that allowed him to only play eight minutes.
He took plenty shots at Heat management after they were unable to reach a deal for an extension. This just seems like yet another dig at Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra
