    Jimmy Butler's ascension to stardom continues: Thibs was raving about how he asked for the same minutes despite being sick last couple days.

    Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

    Butler is averaging 20.9, points 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists this season. Last year: 13.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists a game.

    Butler shot 39.7 percent from the field last year. This year? 48.4 percent from the field. Most importantly, he continues driving to the rim

    Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

    Question is can Butler keep up same pace playing so many minutes throughout year? He said last night challenge is more mental than physical.

    Thibs on Butler sick at Mia: "Old school. Last night, before the game he said, ‘Hey, don’t cut my minutes. I’m going to run that out of me."
