Just Don't Talk To Jimmy Butler Anymore

Trust the process!

Wow

[Axe]

The Heat lost their leading scorer and their best defensive player to injuries in the first game of the series.

No, you're just mad that ad didn't get a finals mvp during the 2020 disney bubble after you thought it was his best chance at doing so.

Heat go on a 24 - 9 run after that moment to end the game

Don't **** with Jimmy G Buckets

This whole "don't talk shit to this player" narrative is cringe.

Even the reporter asking Jaylen Brown about whether Williams talking to Butler was the wrong move... just cringey.

These are grown men. Talking trash in the game to someone isn't going to change anything. Does someone get a fire lit under their ass or more motivated? Sure. But that could make them force shots as well and be a detriment.

If Jimmy doesn't play well on that day from that moment - the narrative is - Williams got in his head. But... he made the shots, so media narrative is - don't talk trash to Jimmy, he makes you pay.

Precisely why the fuss is being made - because its Jimmy, he will make his shots if you try to get in his head. You got the causality wrong here pal, and thinking Jimmy's shots just randomly got it couldnt be more wrong. His focus, confidence and determination increases if you pull off shit like that with him. And thats what improves the probability he will make those shots.

That's just how it works. Jimmy definitely took it personal on Grant, but to be fair to Grant he was the only Celtic who showed up in the 4th.

Agree on both points. Although, if Grant didn't give Jimmy extra motivation, the Celtics may win this game. Once that whole ordeal happened, Jimmy went apeshit.

Butler is a true saiyan. It's just sad that he's playing for an annoying team.
