Q: How could Jimmy Butler only score three points in the season opener? – Brian. A: By shooting 1 of 8? And even then, that was an alley-oop score of a transition pass from Tyler Herro. Otherwise, still not sold on the Heat’s space-and-pace system playing to Jimmy Butler’s strengths. He is a deliberate scorer who tends to first measure up an opponent, then doing his best work from the midrange.
