Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler Stops Just Short Of Guaranteeing Victory Against Boston Celtics ... Again

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has no problem guaranteeing victories, even during the playoffs. 

He's done it often throughout his career. In his mind, he is not supposed to answer questions by saying, "I think we will lose." 

Butler was his usual self Tuesday when asked to expand on his comments last year when he proclaimed the Heat would return to the Eastern Conference finals and defeat the Boston Celtics. 

One year later, Butler is sticking to his prediction. 

Every year when I say we're going to win a championship, I mean it," Butler said. "This year is our year. We're going to go into this Game 1 and do what we're supposed to do and be the first one to four (wins). Like I said, we're very capable of it. We have enough it. Guys are playing some incredible basketball. I like our chances as does everybody in this organization." 

Butler's first chance to back it up is Wednesday in Game 1 in Boston.
