Jimmy Butler on upcoming season: We're going to suit up and I'm going to whoop y'all ass - again
As for the upcoming season, sure, Butler may take the chance to avenge past defeats if the opportunities present themselves. But he won’t be digging into a well of despair to get himself hyped—even as he trolled the NBA on media day with his purported emo persona. “I already lost, [what] the f— you want me to do about it?” Jimmy Butler asks. “Mope? I didn’t do my job. Oh well, sue me. But I’m gonna go home and play with my kids. I’ll beat my guys in dominoes and cards. And then we’re going to go on vacation together. We’re gonna drink some wine and have some really nice food. “And then we’re gonna suit that s— up in October. And I’m gonna whoop all y’all ass. Again.”

Tyler Herro just set a Red, White and Pink game record with 17 first-quarter points. Jimmy Butler also set one by making two free throws with his eyes closed. And Bam stole a rebound from Kevin Love. You guys, I think they’re not taking this game very seriously. – 7:22 PM

I think Jimmy Butler has taken all of his shots left-handed to begin the scrimmage, even free throws.
Now we see what he worked on this summer. – 7:15 PM

More on this storyline
“I don’t give a damn,” Butler says when asked how he feels about the Finals run. “We didn’t win. As we start off this new season, it’s the same goal as always since I’ve entered this league, and that’s to get my team to a championship. Last year was last year; we’re past that.” (Butler is also well past his Eastern Conference finals MVP award. He says he gave the trophy to his father—and neither of them currently knows where it is.) -via Sports Illustrated / October 11, 2023
