Scene From Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay Sums How Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat Left Milwaukee

Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler was in a five-game zone to help them eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round

Everyone loves a great stoner movie, right? 

The Harold & Kumar series ranks up there with the best, especially the second installment where they escape from prison in Guantanamo Bay. In one scene, the co-stars encounter a deer. They pet it, adore it and fawn over it. 

And then a hunter shoots the deer from afar. The hunter apologizes and says, "Sorry about, I was in my zone." 

In a way, this was how the Heat ambushed the Milwaukee Bucks, whose rally cry is "Fear The Deer." Jimmy Butler was that precise in taking down the top target in the NBA. 

The Heat made quick work of the team with the league's best record. Butler averaged 37.6 points, six rebounds and 4.8 assists while shooting 59 percent in the series. 

"I'm just in a groove, I'm in a rhythm," Butler said. "I've been shooting the ball an incredible amount this series but I feel like they're all shots that I know that I can make."

The Heat now have the New York Knicks standing in their way. The series, which opens Sunday in New York, hardly resembles those slow-paced, brawl-filled games from the 1990s. These teams like to score. 

So it should be some entertaining basketball.
