Is there anybody on this board who is not a Jimmy fan ?. I suspect anyone who isn’t would be at odds with Steph and Draymond.

Unfortunate they don’t have 2022 Poole instead of Buddy, but he may get hot and win a game or two nevertheless.

Jimmy fans as in started following the warriors when he got traded here.

Reporters thought Jimmy and Dillon Brooks were having a kind of friendly exchange in Game 4.

That was not the case at all.

When asked if "people" meant Rockets wing Dillon Brooks, Butler said, "Yeah" with a laugh.

Butler denied that he was having fun going back and forth with Brooks. He shook his head multiple times while the question was being asked.

"I don’t like Dillon Brooks. He’s a fierce competitor. I’m a fierce competitor. But ain’t nothing fun about that."

Apparently this is what Butler really said to Brooks:

Jimmy makes the rest of the Warriors look REALLY soft.

Warriors would not have made the playoffs without him. Hat's off to a legit fighter and hope Warriors figure some way to make use of the guy.

Now we know Playoff Jimmy is no longer a thing. Only 9 shots in game 4.

Team actually did better in the second quarter while he sat.

Nobody could get a bucket when the Wolves went on their 17-0 run in the third quarter.

Or maybe he's still hurt? He did not look like the jimmy butler we've seen multiple times this season. Not the effort or strength on either end I'm used to seeing.
