Jimmy Butler is a good sport even when he has to take a rib. This time it was the fans’ call-out that had him display an effervescent grin. This happened before the Miami Heat vs. the Timberwolves game when Jimmy Butler was on the bench. The one-time Timberwolf was so missed that the fans started chanting his name along with a question.

With this second upset, the Miami Heat is not poised to gain momentum any time soon. Will this be the season of Emotional Jimmy? Or will the Heat spring a surprise once again? An interesting season beckons the Heat fans.

Where is Jimmy?

That is all that the Wolves fans wanted to know. “Where is Jimmy?” Jimmy was right there in the stadium, but only in street clothes. He was rested for this game, while Kevin Love was also not part of this contest due to a shoulder injury. Against this depleted Heat team, the Timberwolves gained a dominant win.

The Timberwolves won the game with a 106-90 scorecard. What was interesting about this game was that 6 Minnesota players had double digit points, and Rudy Gobert had a 14 points 14 rebounds double -double. With the first win of the season, the Timberwolves should build on their momentum. They have the talent to do so. What has been lacking in the past was the right attitude.
