As a New York Knicks fan, I can tell you that the Game 2 win over the Miami Heat was a rough go of it.
For much of the game, the Knicks couldn’t quite get it right against a tough Heat zone defense. And every time TNT cameras panned over to the injured Jimmy Butler, it drove me up the wall.
Because there’s Butler, healing and watching his team nearly pull out an upset win, the expression on his face telling us he’s just biding his time to come back and do what he did to the Milwaukee Bucks in the last round.
Heck, he was just casually eating popcorn, and when he heard it from Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden, he waved back:
