NBA Fans Rip Heat for Loss to Giannis, Bucks amid Jimmy Butler Suspension, Trade Buzz

With no Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat were no match for the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.

The Bucks handled the Heat 125-96 with Butler serving a two-game suspension for a "continued pattern of disregard of team rules, insubordinate conduct and conduct detrimental to the team." It's the second time Butler has been suspended since requesting a trade. The first suspension was a seven-game ban he received earlier this month, also for conduct detrimental to the team.

The one bright spot for the Heat was rookie big man Kel'el Ware, who posted 22 points and 10 boards in the loss.
