Jimmy Butler has just put on quiet the show at the Celtics tonight.
With Deng out he has played the whole 4th/OT and been playing lock down D and making some clutch and impressive buckets.
He went 4/5 with 13 pts and one alley oop and baseline jam in OT.
I am so upset the Celtics lost but so happy Jimmy just shined on the big stage when his number was called.
Disappointed that espn went right into next game- really wanted to hear Bill Simmons go bananas.
Now Jae C v KD
JB is improving every game. I'm excited to see this continue.
Watching JFB score six straight points in OT was great. JFB earns minutes primarily for his defense, hustle, and heads up play...if his offensive game can continue to flourish his minutes and value in the league will grow exponentially.
This lifelong Celtic fan watched that with a high degree of cognitive dissonance.
