Jimmy Butler called the Miami Heat’s shot for Game 6. He’d better make it

New York Times  

MIAMI — There is no denying that Joe Namath guaranteed the Jets would beat the Colts in Super Bowl III, despite being an 18-point underdog. “We are always going to stay positive, knowing that we can and we will win this series,” Butler said after the Heat lost Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Celtics in Boston. “We’ll just have to close it out at home.” There is no denying that Butler, on Thursday night, after his team had just been beaten for the second consecutive game and saw its 3-0 series lead dip to 3-2, declared without a hint of doubt that Miami would win the series, and do so at its next opportunity — which is Game 6 tonight at home. Even Game 1 of the current series, against Boston, Butler opened with 35 points in a tone-setting shot sent over the Celtics’ bow.
