Jimmy Butler On The Miami Heat's Rotation Changes: "It Don’t Matter What Lineup We Have Out There"

It's safe to say the Miami Heat are experiencing their worst portion of their regular season with a seven-game losing streak.

Losing to this degree is causing frustration among the players, including star forward Jimmy Butler, who has recorded more than 25 points in their last two matchups. After Monday's 13-point defeat to the Phoenix Suns, Butler commented on how altering the rotation impacts winning.

"It don't matter what lineup you put out there," Butler said. "If we're not guarding, we're not doing what we're supposed to do, I feel like the same outcome is going to happen. No matter what five is out there, we still got a job to do. We still got to play the right way on both sides of the floor. No amount of trades, no amount of lineup changes is going to change that."

The acquisition of guard Terry Rozier is playing a major role in the lineup adjustments. However, Butler is right. Execution is a must, regardless of who is on the floor. Their problems stem from the top of the lineup to the bottom, with inconsistencies from a variety of players.

Rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been struggling since his return from injury, while center Bam Adebayo is finding problems on the offensive end. Butler is a respected veteran across the league, but he needs assistance for the Heat to get back on track.
