Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler "Concerned" About Five-Game Losing Streak

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is obviously frustrated about the five-game losing streak.

He voiced his frustrations after Thursday's defeat against the Boston Celtics at Kaseya Center. The Heat lost by 33 points at home.

"Yeah, I'm concerned," Butler said. "Don't nobody wanna lose, especially five games in a row. But before you can even think about to start winning games, I just feel like everybody's got to get back to having fun again. Yes, losing is not fun; winning is. If we ain't playing some high energy and smiling and all that good stuff, it could get a lot worse."

The Heat have lost both games since they acquired guard Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets in a blockbuster trade. The move was supposed to elevate them on the list of Eastern Conference contenders but things have yet to go according to plan.

Still, Butler thinks the Heat have the attitude to turn things around.

"You better feel that way," Butler said. "You've to win sooner or later, right? That's the way I'm looking at it. We've got to start doing things the right way on both sides of the ball. Time is going to come."

The Heat return to action Saturday at home against the New York Knicks.
