[Jimmy Butler] on the 10-10 Warriors: “We don’t box out. We don’t go with the scouting report. We let anybody do whatever they want — open shots, get into the paint, free throws. It’s just sad.”
Seems like he got his joy back
What your ex doing better without you does to a mf
Haters are happiest when they hating.
Weird how this shit follows him around like that.
Or when he did actually fall into a good situation he still managed to blow it up
Dude is just doing his best Kenny Powers impressions to the media. Seems like he really likes being the villain even to his own teammates and fans.
or maybe, just maybe, he’s an insufferable douchebag
Nahhhh
Bro bout to quit on another team already lol
His joy meter needs a recharge
Like Shawn Micheal’s, Jimmy lost his smile
Shawn only lost it once, though. Jimmy seems to lose his any time he faces any adversity since about 2016.
We need to trade him to the thunder
You might’ve just solved the NBA
His tranquility must be refurbished
It’s the best and most fun team Jimmy Butler has been on until it isn’t.
Dallas shouldn’t want Jimmy but if I were the Warriors I’d ship his ass out for AD and throw in some picks. Warriors have 1-2 years before they aren’t even playoff team.
They won’t be a playoff team with AD either who can’t even stay healthy lol
You know what. I’m for it
Every player needs a go to move
Ults are supposed to have a long cooldown
He used refresher orb

When can we get tobiwan to cast a nba game
Should we tell him?
Oh no… please dont be weird please dont be weird
Edit: FUCK
On the bright side, our new age casters are super good.
If you tune into TI, you’ll probably hear one of these four
Cap/SVG ODPixel/Fogged SUNSFan/Synderen Lyrical/Trent
And yes, SUNSFan is a Phoenix Suns fan and will randomly talk about basketball during casts.
Is this the dotacinema sunsfan? Dota 2 fails of the week
Coffee man got paid.
how is this quitting? he’s telling the truth and holding everyone accountable
Because there’s things you say to the public and things you don’t. These are locker room/film study conversations. Not venting to a reporter. I love Jimmy, but there’s a reason players don’t usually do this across all sports.
eh he’s said similar stuff in years past with us but its usually followed by “we’ll figure it out, i believe in these guys” or something.
idk if that part cuts off here or he says similar stuff later
He did add that they’re not about to surrender and stuff like that
oh i see it now, thats not so bad then
doesnt sound like they’re gonna say goodbye to the season
the stuff he is saying here is so generic though. I mean is he just supposed to lie and say everything is okay? Saying they’re playing poorly because they’re playing bad defense doesn’t seem like a huge problem
I personally don’t have a problem with it. But we’re not his teammates that are being accused of “not boxing out, not getting into the paint, not looking at scouting report, giving open shots” and everything else he said all for the public. Do you see other great players call out their teammates like this? Not really. I’m sure some have, but it’s not the move, generally.
Honestly, yes. Honesty in PR interviews is frequently a mistake, and even generic criticisms like this can feel pretty bad to teammates, especially from someone who has quite literally bailed on teams before, repeatedly. Everyone lies in those interviews, and some of it’s even required, they have to either lie or be completely silent about officiating or they get fined. It could have been worse, but there’s nothing good about letting this out in an interview. And if there’s a teammate that’s bothered by it, they should 100% lie in an interview and say it’s fine and that there’s nothing to worry about.
Seems like saying it publicly is good for the young players in the sport to learn from. His points are great.
How is telling a reporter this vs telling his teammates this in private a learning lesson lol? This can all be achieved in house. Doing it publicly does nothing except polarize him in the locker room and maybe make things easier for Kerr to talk about since one of his super stars blurted it out to the public.
the funny thing is one of their only young players went “we do care”
It is a shame. Most of the best wisdom flies right over the heads of the folks that need to hear it the most.
Unfortunately, sometime you need a little bit of wisdom to begin with to recognize the need for more
Rondo called him out when he was with the Bulls for being too quick to bitch about the young guys. Not sure how many players would agree that this is the right way to motivate your teammates.
This sub is just desperate for drama
coffee market too competitive
Get another extension first
insert “he’s right you know” .gif
Welp with curry out now’s the time to get stupidly locked in jimbo
110% Jimmy only 20 games into the season? Uh…
Yup, he’ll turn it on for like a game or 2.. out of 22 or so games
GM’s need to stop building old teams
It’s not even the warriors being old.
The old guys on the warriors are actually good.
It’s the others that are horrible.
Kuminga with “knee soreness”. Podz thinks he’s Manu Ginobli, when he’s a poor man’s Jack Harlow. Moody is inconsistent.
Podz thinks he’s Manu Ginobli, when he’s a poor man’s Jack Harlow
Lmao
https://streamable.com/t3vx4a
no way lmfao
Damn dude. Jack Harlow is already a poor man’s Jack Harlow. Podz been that bad?
He’s had a really brutal start to the season, which he also did last year. I think the contract stuff is getting to him.
btw, anyone wants a laugh, see Jack Harlow’s bad acting on SNL in the Halloween sketch.
You could hear the audience snicker at his bad line readings.
I dont watch Warriors a lot but just from the lineups i am checking right now, it seems like they used too many lineups and i think it has to do with Kuminga’s injury and couple old players being injured or resting which probably led Warriors to go deeper with the bench, the most played lineup was 65 minutes which is not enough. The inconsistency with lineup’s tend to make players lose their momentum from game to game.
Kerr does this every year. He experiments with rotations literally the entire season.
Yeah i am not fan of this, i see why Ty lue and Kerr are friends now.
It’s great coaching. Figure out what you have and let guys figure out how to play with each other. Get data on your team.
In my case i dont think we needed data to figure that Harden and beal backcourt in 2025 wont work or PG, Kawhi, Harden and Russ lineup wont work. I am sure warriors had lineups before that people knew it wont work but coaches wanted to throw games to experiment lineup which overall i am not fan of this method, I believe you have better chance to win a ring if you are top 3 seed.
Except for the part where by the end of the season we’ve ‘figured it out’, but we’re so behind we run our best guys to the ground to escape the playin.
Yes this is a good point as well.
Kerr is basically making 3 guys play different roles each night. They don’t have a rhythm starting 5. It’s more like 3 and 2 fillers. Kuminga is probably given the worse. As he’s either made to be POA, then the next day he has to guard 4-5’s. Then the next day he’s running the point for some random reason when he can run and be a back door cutter like what they use Richard for.
Moody is being tasked with simple jobs when’s he’s starting too. PoA and corner 3 guy.
The warriors front office gets wayyy too much credit for being gifted a couple of the greatest shooters of all time and KD chasing a ring. they’ve done a horrendous job drafting, developing, and making moves. The fact Spo gets more nods than Kerr for best coach in GM polls I think says a lot too
“They have done a horrible job at drafting, developing, and making moves if you exclude drafting three hall of famers and winning two titles without KD”.
And I mean, it’s been like three different Front Offices anyway. You can just say they haven’t been able to put together a title team in the past three years with the few assets they had, it’s ok.
Right it’s ironically all the guys around the old players that are trash
matt barnes is still available in free agency, I think
At least their aging core has championships. What the hell is Lawrence Frank’s excuse 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️man don’t get me started
You will get 37 years old Brook Lopez chucking long shots and average 1.9 rebounds per game while Cp3 takes 15 seconds to bring the ball up and you will like it.
But OKC took all the picks
nah the Clips giving OKC another stud of a player is gross bro
As if the 2013 lakers and 2022 lakers weren’t already enough evidence .
It never works
except in 1998 and 2011
Peak comment
I get to watch the oldest team in the history of the nba every night and they are shit, dont do it people it is not good.
the unction part 2. No one learned from that old ass Lakers team
Or that old ass bucks team…
The real cream city
So what if we combine the Clippers, Warriors and Kings to create the oldest team. How many games are we losing?
Vibes seem to be very good
I’d be pissed if I had to spend that much time around Draymond too.
fakest athlete out here
But just imagine the rest of the team has to spend that much time with both of them. And both of them together.
Can you imagine?
Big mad.
Jimmy talking like he didn’t speedrun this exact storyline in Miami last season 😭 The league’s defense is cooked everywhere — but whenever things go south, Jimbo’s joy meter hits zero FAST. Dude needs a portable charger at this point.
Heat 13-6 while GSW 10-10
Don’t want to discount what Butler did with Miami but it’s very funny to watch how quickly things turn
Sometimes you just know when it’s time to move on
Dude needs a contract extension a month to keep that joy up
Jimbo lol
Nah jimmy still getting money so he still has his “joy”. Jimmy never cared about winning that was just PR. He really only cares about getting the most amount of money possible. Which is a respectable belief until you realize he already made hundreds of millions of dollars before he even got his warriors contract.
I’m not a huge Jimmy fan, but c’mon that’s just not true. The guy always played his heart out in the playoffs, and he thrived in the Heat’s culture. He led the team to two finals when they had no business making those finals. You don’t do that if you don’t care about winning
Lmao imagine watching Jimmy play in the playoffs and anything and think he’s just about money. Terrible take
He definitely cares about winning lol. Dude always goes hard in the playoffs
“Everywhere I go, the vibes suck.” -Guy with zero self-awareness.
Look at the vibes in Miami now that he’s gone
Eh he went to 2 finals with the heat, vibes seemed good then
Vibes are good woth jimmy until he decides he doesnt wamt the vines to be good anymore
Maybe stop passing up layups for ass shooters who can’t shoot 3’s. He definitely doesn’t help the cause
Yep playing way too passive. Don’t think they realise that if you are aggressive toward the rim it opens everything else up. We drive and kick 800 times a game then get some dumb contested 3
There were 2 times late in the 4q where he passed up a open layup or drive to the rim and passed it to the rookie Will Richard. The first time it resulted in a brick, the 2nd time it was a turnover. Crucial moments in crunch time where he’s deferring.
Also it was clear Steph was hurt but Butler still wanted no part of the basketball those last 3 mins
Welcome to the regular season Jimmy experience
was he doing this in Miami? I’ve noticed it during his GSW games that he Ben Simmons’ all the time, forcing Podz or some youngin into taking a bullshit shot
Yes if you look up his Miami numbers towards the end, he was doing the same thing. His go to move is to foul bait and if it doesn’t work, he passes it out. People talk about Shai and Luka foul baiting but Butler is easily 10 times the terrorist those guys are
Yes he passed up many open shots and also shot one legged fadeaway threes while wide open. It’s why we thought he was sandbagging to force a trade. Even when not sandbagging he would pass up shots too in the regular season and play passive. Playoff Jimmy was just totally different than regular season Jimmy
Yep. Jimmy is always passive in the regular season. Especially in the early regular season.
This was the problem the Heat had with Jimmy. When we needed him to takeover at times, way too passive, instead of taking it to the hoop which we all knew he was capable of.
It’s either that or drive, pump fake, defender doesn’t bite, kicks it out with the shot clock almost up.
Thats Jimmy in the regular season 😂
“If you smell shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your shoes.”
-probably Ben Franklin or something
That was Fred Rogers, 1972.
That was Gandhi
Winds of shit are in the air over oracle arena
Genghis Khan probably
The honeymoon period keeps getting shorter and shorter
Devs have figured out the bug and patched it. It’s over.
This mf is always unhappy.
You tell no lie!
Playing for foul calls ain’t it either Jimmy buy you do you
Dude literally never had the intention to score. Just kick out his legs for contact so he can give himself the excuse to land awkwardly, fling his arms around, and scream “AY!” every time.
And yes Warrior fans, we find it annoying when Sengun plays soft like that too.
All that pump faking getting him injured too smh
Its literally the only thing he excels at. Hes an average playmaker, a subpar shooter, a declining defender. All hes got is that pump fake and pray
He has problems every where he goes whenever a team starts losing lmao. Pat Riley might’ve been right not to pay him especially with how good the Heat are this year.
For our team it didn’t make sense. I still like the fit on your team and like that you guys are giving Steph one last shot.
Honestly i don’t follow basketball but crazy steph is 37
And LeBron turns 41 next month
there’s like only two 36 yos i’d give a big contract to which is lebron and curry. maybe kd but that’s about it. not paying jimmy is always the right move even if the heat weren’t flourishing rn
They were better off tanking that year and retooling for next season. Now they’re paying 2 36+ 55M and messed up. When I seen that shams noti with the contract amount I knew it was a bad signing
he fucking up the vibes but he aint wrong lol
Yeah he is 100% correct, but it’s Jimmy Butler so. Almost every team the Warriors play this year they get killed by offensive rebounds. Size is an issue, but effort is also an issue.
They probably could’ve won the game today if they didn’t give up so many offensive rebounds in the first half.
Hitting our shots would help too tbh
Awwwww….. Jimbo isn’t having fuuun….Jimbo lost his jooooy 😢
Everywhere he goes, there he is
Jimmys getting irritated
Take your upvote fellow Seinfeld fan
At some point you gotta stop being honest in front of the cameras lmao
trade him to dallas for klay
send off the warriors in a proper farewell tour
In a stretcher?
Ahh, the Jimmy Butler Experience is in full effect.
How long before he requests a trade??
He’ll ask for an extension this summer and when the team says no then the shit will hit the fan.
He ain’t going nowhere unless it’s a salary dump.
someone stole his joy again. Hes obviously being targeted by a skilled thief
Even if Curry is healthy, he almost seems to have as many duds as he does great games. It feels like theyre’s just a cap on what Golden State can accomplish with their current roster
There’s been a cap on for 3+ years now. Too small, too unathletic, too top heavy.
I feel like I’ve seen this before…..
Playing with Podz does this to a person.
Jimmy about be locker cancer for the 92nd time. But it’s not him
I remember when the Warriors beat the Lakers the first game of the season and everyone was up in arms and put the Warriors on this tier with OKC. 16-20 games in look what happened. Let this be a reminder to not overreact to the first game of the year. 💯
I’m calling it. Riley was right not to extend Jimmy and he won the trade.
Someone get Rachel Nichols
And the bubble
this makes me so happy
What’s Jimmy talking about Steph gotta be the Batman of all Batman’s. I thought you’re still a max player and we disrespected you by not instantly maxing you? Carry them to some wins dude
GSW just should tank this season and hope to get good draft pick… this is sad
Should’ve tanked last season instead of trading for Jimmy.
Why would you ever tank one of Curry’s last years as the guy? At that point, you might as well trade Curry and Draymond if you’re not going to swing for the fences.
And I know memory is short, but last year the Warriors were playing great after the Butler trade.
Because Steph was the one throwing in the towel mid season. I know memory is short but Steph/Dray/Kerr were all talking about regrouping and competing the next year.
Still my guy.
But damn. That’s the Jimmy we all know.
why is everyone in this thread upset at Jimmy being unhappy about the warriors playing bad? No shit everyone better be unhappy in that organization
roster is horrible but kerr even worse for doing 4 guard lineups and playing podz like he’s Shai
Fox has really stepped up for the Spurs. Jimmy should ask him for advice. :p
Bros never happy on any team 😭😭
Except against fucking San Antonio (twice) that you treated like a playoff game.
We are about a 5 game losing streak away from him requesting a trade.
Jimmy “Marie Kondo” Butler
I’d pay good money to see the inevitable Jimmy and Draymond brawl.
Kerr has always been lost when Steph is either out or not hot. Stop blaming Jimmy for having a competitive spirit.
GMs to Jimmy: You fucking need me!
This is the Jimmy we used to know.
The problem is everyone besides Curry is basically a black hole on offense. They don’t reliably create their own shot or go for anything besides an open 3. It’s so annoying to watch as a Curry fan. There is nothing dynamic about this team and both Draymond and Butler play too old for their paychecks.
i will say he said similar stuff in past years with the heat when they were struggling and they’d almost always figure it out and go on a run
He lost his joy again😞
Warriors vibes have been awful since green slapped pooles career trajectory out of him.
It’s like he ruined their future😂
Steve Kerr is on the ⏰!! Ime outcoached him and thats without KD nor Van Fleet
uh-oh, jimmy’s unhappy again
Oh, I’ve seen this movie before.
How about looking to score more agressively Jimbo when Steph doesn’t have it instead of passing
To be honest he’s really holding back they been absolute dog shit lately if I was a betting man I’d pick the Pelicans next game especially since Steph will likely be out
Too early in the season for Jimmy to care.
This a Jimmy hate circle jerk. Nothing wrong with what he’s saying. He said “we”. As a team they don’t. And its true. Draymond says the exact same thing. Kerr says the same thing
Warriors need new players, its time to trade Draymond and whoever to bring in some young talent.
Jimmy already planning how he’s going to quit…
And so it begins
This is going to be an epic blowup. How long till Draymond punches him.
The cycle continues. Jimmy frustrated.
He ain’t wrong. Effort level today was atrocious.
Honeymoon phase over?
Delicious
I’ve heard this before lol
He’s right. And Draymond was saying the same thing, only less diplomatically.
Grass not greener on the other side
it’s starting again lmao
Maybe we can start by having Tomball Jimmy play like the $60 million dollar player he is?
Warriors are in this spot because Curry/Butler/Green are taking up almost the entire salary cap.
Need more from Butler.
Fucking LMAO!
So it begins again…
Welcome back Jimmy Butler
This guy is the biggest foul baiter of our generation, constantly quits on his teammates and throws them under the bus, and is just generally unlikeable, but gets a pass for 2 playoff runs
He’s not wrong
