I’ve been asked a few times now on our Watch Party livestreams why Jimmy Butler never goes to the postgame podium. My guess from afar is that, at least for home games, Butler doesn’t want to hike up the flight of stairs from the locker room next to Oracle Performance Center in the basement of Chase Center, to the Bill King Interview Room.But for road games, I don’t really have … [Read more...] about “Shoot the ball, Jimmy” — Buddy Hield has become Butler’s heckler
Jimmy Butler: “we’re gonna win the last four…win a championship no matter what seed are”
I’m starting to like Jimmy Butler’s postgame “recaps” in front of the mics the best.
