Barry Jackson: Butler: “That’s very good basketball. Very entertaining. We can do it. We’ve got to go on the road and win in a very tough environment. But we’re capable of it. Let’s get busy.”

I asked Jimmy Butler about what Boston has done differently on him as of late:
“If I’m level headed through the good and through the bad, they will be as well.”
“So I’m gonna smile. I’m gonna go home and play some spades. I don’t care what nobody say. Everything gonna be ok.” pic.twitter.com/lS7CM10BwH – 12:27 AM

Jimmy Butler still smiling and with all the confidence sitting in this press conference
Says if he doesn’t go 5 for 21 from the field tonight, this team isn’t in this position tonight and he’s “wearing a different hat right now”
Says it’s simple: he plays better, others follow – 12:08 AM

Actually thought that was closer to a travel on Jimmy butler. He didn’t dribble again after he picked it up, but he clearly went into another basketball move which is what he can’t do legally. Either way it looks like that call was missed before the Horford foul – 12:03 AM

Michael Scotto: Jimmy Butler: “I believe you’re going to get the same test until you pass it. I swear. We were in the same position last year. We can do it. I know that we will do it. We’ve got to go on the road and win in a very tough environment, but we’re capable of it, so let’s get busy.” pic.twitter.com/aT7OXNTx4W -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / May 28, 2023
