Podcast: Will Jimmy Butler rescue the Heat? And breaking down more changes to the rotation

The Miami Heat has more than a few flaws this season, but it also has Jimmy Butler.

On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson discuss whether Jimmy Butler’s greatness is enough to turn a disappointing season into a surprisingly good one in the playoffs.

Chiang and Wilson also went through just how awesome Butler has been since the All-Star break and why he’ll likely make an All-NBA team for the third time in the last four seasons.

But is Butler’s excellence enough to overcome the Heat’s issues on both ends of the court as a potential appearance in the play-in tournament looms?

Also, is South Florida now a basketball town?
