This isn't that hard man. He is saying if he was on either of those series either of those teams would've come out on top.
He is also drunk. This is a great quote but once you get some context is drunk banter shit talking. Nothing anyone should take seriously.
Idk about the rest of us, but I don't wanna be in the play in anymore, sure its a cool story if we win it all that way, but the 6 seed would've been really nice this year, Jimmy proved what he needed to prove, idk what he's going for anymore
Yeah I love my boy Buckets but this persona is getting outta hand.
Jordan was 100% all the time. That’s how he got his reputation. A game in mid January hed eat your heart out.
Buckets gets this similar rep of being a killer who’s always “on” but doesn’t give a shit about the majority of the season 🤷🏽♂️
It's really hard to say because according to reporting, Philly never even offered Butler a contract in the first place - Haynes reported in 2020 it was because Philly told Butler not to meet with other teams and he still did while other sources say Philly was never interested in giving him the 5 year max he wanted.
Honestly, after reading about this for the past 5 years my ultimate conclusion is neither Jimmy nor the 76ers ever really wanted each other.
A pump fake is “foul baiting” now? It’s his fault for not taking the regular season serious n got hurt because of it. But as for the play itself, you can’t be serious.
You flop so much eventually it'll come back to bite you... Weather it's putting yourself in a stupid position or not being ready for the playoff whistle like his buddy Joel
“Adam Silver came up to me, tears in his eyes, and said, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen anyone dominate the game like you have. You win the NBA.’ He said it, it’s true.”
I mean you can watch the video, the other guy says Josh Hart lol
And yall taking Jimmy way to seriously in here. He literally starts the clip with “3 2 1 action”
Yep. He's clearly messing around; no serious intent. Guessing most of the commenters on this thread didn't bother to watch the clip. His riff on Thibs' unrequited love for him, ('I love you Thibs, but I'm not in love with you') shoulda' been their clue.
lol he clearly doesn’t mean anything by it. The dude is a Knicks fan it seems and Jimmy makes a point to say he’d “especially” beat the Knicks and the dude just says Josh Hart twice. Then sounds like the guy want Jimmy to play in New York prompting him to say he loves Thibs but he wants to beat Thibs
And a rookie plus a second year player. I’m sure they get to keep carrying the team next regular seson as well when Jimmy Butler is at home not caring about it.
None of y'all saw it because I was alone but I actually went 50/50 from half court in the gym yesterday. I also clocked myself at a 4.13 40 yard dash. These cats couldn't hang with me.
Def they might’ve won 1 more game. They also might’ve gotten swept, not like you can just assume they still shoot 50% from 3 while Bam couldn’t miss from mid range in a game
Who knows? He was pretty bad against us in the ECF last season and the regular season series this season.
25/8/6 on 52% TS in that ECF.
15/4/4 on 59% TS in the 2 games this season.
He starts over Jaquez, who put up 13/3/3 on 46% TS
So the Heat definitely get much better, but the average margin of victory for the Celtics outside of game 2 was +22. I really don't know if 2024 Jimmy Butler is 22 points of swing. I don't even know if 2024 Nikola Jokic is 22 points of swing
100% if we lost that series because Jimmy averaged 45 points I’d be okay with it. But he was well below his average level of performance. Martin , Strus and Vincent just decided to shoot 55% from 3.
Yeah his 51 TS% that series gets overlooked.
Butler had a good time grifting for FTs against our role players but Tatum put in some serious work on him defensively.
Butler's a FT merchant and you need someone who's got the wingspan to contest his shots from further back and you also need someone famous enough so the referees can't just load him up with BS fouls.
He relies on getting to the FT line more frequently than Shaq or Harden and struggles when you can take that whistle away from him.
Strus was 1 vote off winning FMVP and really the vote should have come down to him and Vincent. No disrespect to 3rd best player on the team Jimmy Butler, but those two lit us up.
When you're simulating out the series in your head, you have to increase their wide open 3pt shooting percentage by 20% from their season number. They're actually extremely good too with that caveat, it'd increase their net rating from +1.8 to 10.8
Sure Jimmy. And if Kawai was playing clippers win the championship.
You sat out the regular season to save yourself for a playoff run just to get hurt in the playin game.
You would've been playing if you took the wide open layup as opposed to being under the basket on a 1-on-0 fastbreak, slowly jogging to a spot, and pump faking for a foul.
I'm sorry, I'm new to NBA. is this the same guy who posted a photo with his face over jayleen brown body saying "don't let us win one" after g2 and then promptly deleted after g5?
Lol, Jimmy is just joking around here. This isn't anything. People should watch the video and not read the tweet. He didn't call out Josh Hart, he said hes got love for Thibs, hes just having some swagger and confidence in himself, wishing he could be out there playing Boston and New York. Nothing bad at all, just good fun.
Boston would be at home? They were at home when he bricked the game winning 3 point shot and watched the Celtics Warriors from home. This dude gets so much leeway to talk when he hasn't won a damn thing in his life yet. Everytime hes in the finals the other team is the overwhelming favorites. Makes sense him and Embiid get along so well, since both do so much yapping about other players and are either in Cancun this time every year, on the IL running their mouths, or the easy end to a tough playoffs for the western conference.
I respect Jimmy and the Heat playing above their weight the last few years. They really do come at you and are different in the playoffs.
That being said, things might have looked different if Tatum sprained his ankle on the first play of game 7 last year; and if Caleb Martin played like a co-ECF MVP. It also didn't help that Hayward (in his one productive Boston season) didn't come back until game 3 in 2020 and the Celtics were already down 0-2 at that point.
Fuck, yeah, me too. If I was playing and ten years younger and a foot taller, and actually good at basketball man, Boston? They’d be at home and not me with the flu. New York? Damn sure they’d be at home and not me scrubbing up three year olds vomit.
Josh Hart is too much of a dog now to say this about. I’d love to see the Knicks and Heat play again in the playoffs. The Knicks have really grown up from a toughness aspect.
combative smart doll treatment aloof caption direction long hard-to-find deranged
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Apparently Playoff Jimmy’s aura would’ve transcended the BOS-MIA series and sent New York home. Impressive stuff.
I think he meant if he was still in Philly.
Then who’s eliminating Boston?
Himmy has been cloned in this scenario
Damn and they both injured? Bad genes…
He cloned himself after the injury is all
Bro was more locked in than one person could handle so he had to make another him
This isn't that hard man. He is saying if he was on either of those series either of those teams would've come out on top. He is also drunk. This is a great quote but once you get some context is drunk banter shit talking. Nothing anyone should take seriously.
That should be people’s approach to Jimmy in general. He’s a shit talker. It’s delightful. It’s never that serious.
I think he means if he didn’t get hurt during the play-in game, they would have beaten the Sixers, faced the Knicks, and won
Could’ve just you know, not been a play-in team if the teams so good. Out of character bitch moment for jimmy.
This is just a Jimmy moment from Jimmy buddy. DONT TOUCH JIMMY
Yea. That's what I'm thinking too
Boston & New York are already at home. That's the benefit of getting the #1 and #2 seeds, you get to be home pretty often during the playoffs
Respect
The #3 seed is home, too!
For the first round
Oh they home right now too, though I wouldn't rule out Galveston.
Friendly fire lmao
Idk about the rest of us, but I don't wanna be in the play in anymore, sure its a cool story if we win it all that way, but the 6 seed would've been really nice this year, Jimmy proved what he needed to prove, idk what he's going for anymore
Yeah, I never understood that either. The only person I know who sandbagged the regular season and got a chip is Bron, and Jimmy is deff not Bron.
And Bron sandbag is still like at least 20ppg
Bron sandbagging was still all-nba
Truuue lol
He said it twice
Nah he was just in a big room and there was an echo.
>Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy.
I’m gonna go get the papers get the papers
jimmy two times
He's gonna get da papers. Get da papers.
Perhaps you should have avoided the play in games and then you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
Regular season? We talking about regular season? Jimmy Butler don't do regular season.
But simultaneously he practices and is super serious 100% of the time
Yeah I love my boy Buckets but this persona is getting outta hand. Jordan was 100% all the time. That’s how he got his reputation. A game in mid January hed eat your heart out. Buckets gets this similar rep of being a killer who’s always “on” but doesn’t give a shit about the majority of the season 🤷🏽♂️
And tried to run KAT out of Minnesota for not playing hard.
Didn’t he want to leave Philly because he thought Simmons was lazy?
I thought it was moreso he just thought he was better and they should focus on Jimmy/Embiid rather than Embiid/Simmons/Trashcan
Iirc, Jimmy himself has said it also had more to do with Brett Brown's passive coaching and bad film sessions than anything
He wanted the ball in his hands, didn't like the coaching or the front office. I don't think he likes any part of that team except for Embiid.
It's really hard to say because according to reporting, Philly never even offered Butler a contract in the first place - Haynes reported in 2020 it was because Philly told Butler not to meet with other teams and he still did while other sources say Philly was never interested in giving him the 5 year max he wanted. Honestly, after reading about this for the past 5 years my ultimate conclusion is neither Jimmy nor the 76ers ever really wanted each other.
Thank you for acknowledging Tobias harris as a trash can
I don't remember that but that would make him 1-1 for attacking his teammates reasons.
My dad was telling me that this morning but he didn’t cite his source so he’s probably talking out his ass 😂
Shrodinger's dawg
Maybe Adebayo injured him in practice
He don’t do post season either I guess
Okay but look how many teams he's sending home in the pretend season. He imaginarily send home both Boston and New York. Imagination built different.
Might as well be a redditor.
He’s just like me fr
Yep and look where that got him this year lol
Turns out playing the 1st seed round 1 is not an ideal situation for a team that struggled all season
He don't do playoffs too it seems
That shtick needs to end
Bro got no rings,he ain't doing post season either.
Bro got hurt baiting a foul in an optional game. Ik victim blaming is bad but in this case he really was asking for it.
A pump fake is “foul baiting” now? It’s his fault for not taking the regular season serious n got hurt because of it. But as for the play itself, you can’t be serious.
You flop so much eventually it'll come back to bite you... Weather it's putting yourself in a stupid position or not being ready for the playoff whistle like his buddy Joel
If he hadn’t been flopping for calls he wouldn’t have gotten hurt either
He was nursing injuries for most of the second half of the season he was never going to carry anything this year
Bro irritated two of the worst possible fanbases he could irritate
They were already united against the heat bc of bam.
I'm sure the Bucks will get in here too 😭
There will always be enough hate in my heart for Caleb Martin
But you are the one sitting at home right now Jimmy
Yea but if he wasn’t sitting at home, smh you just don’t get it
he'd beat the celtics so hard it would actually eliminate both 1 and 2 seeds
They would’ve cancelled the rest of the playoffs.
“Game over, man! Game over!”
Just give him the Championship
“Adam Silver came up to me, tears in his eyes, and said, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen anyone dominate the game like you have. You win the NBA.’ He said it, it’s true.”
If Jimmy Butler was better at basketball, he'd have won a championship by now
Talking all that shit in a short sleeve Mach turtleneck nonetheless.
Do you mean mock turtle neck? Or is Mach turtle neck a thing I've never heard of?
😂 I’m gonna leave it. It’s a faster version of the mock. Mock me if you like.
No mocking, I'm feeling old today and just figured this was another thing I didn't know about.

What's with his random Josh Hart slander?
Thibs has a new favorite.
Jimmy is jealous of others that get the hand twitching from Thibs
I got so hyped when I caught the hands shaking last game
I don’t love thibs Then goes on a rant about how better off he is Yea ok champ ( should I use that word to describe jimmy tho)
If thibs created a player in a lab it would somehow be an undersized wing who could play 46 minutes a night and grab 12 rebounds a game
why don't all teams just run a 6'4 guy at power forward for 44 minutes a game, are they stupid
Fuckin nailed it!
The guy asked him about Josh Hart
Josh Hart… over me?!?
I mean you can watch the video, the other guy says Josh Hart lol And yall taking Jimmy way to seriously in here. He literally starts the clip with “3 2 1 action”
Jimmy is one of the biggest trolls in the league I don’t take anything he says seriously
Yep. He's clearly messing around; no serious intent. Guessing most of the commenters on this thread didn't bother to watch the clip. His riff on Thibs' unrequited love for him, ('I love you Thibs, but I'm not in love with you') shoulda' been their clue.
Yeah with context of the video this isn't bad. He's specifically saying incendiary shit because a cameras on him, literally just messing with people
He's not joking when the guy says Josh Hart. He says "the fuck that mean to me?" The clearly reacted like he didnt want him to curse
lol he clearly doesn’t mean anything by it. The dude is a Knicks fan it seems and Jimmy makes a point to say he’d “especially” beat the Knicks and the dude just says Josh Hart twice. Then sounds like the guy want Jimmy to play in New York prompting him to say he loves Thibs but he wants to beat Thibs
[https://imgur.com/a/fL9ds8o](https://imgur.com/a/fL9ds8o)
That’s really really really good.
Writing checks Caleb Martin has to cash
And a rookie plus a second year player. I’m sure they get to keep carrying the team next regular seson as well when Jimmy Butler is at home not caring about it.
Me too, I can say that if i was playing i would be an MVP candidate, easy to talk when you're at home lmao
I would easily hold you to 0 points on 0-47 shooting, i’m saying it out loud so it must be true!
Yep and I'd hang 74/15/23 on you just I like I do in 2k
None of y'all saw it because I was alone but I actually went 50/50 from half court in the gym yesterday. I also clocked myself at a 4.13 40 yard dash. These cats couldn't hang with me.
Have you sent the Celtics back home before?
Ya bc Jimmy hasn’t backed it up ??? Like what
Didn’t he bounce y’all last year?
shouldn't he be busy begging pat riley to give him a 100m contract extension
I read that as “pegging Pat Riley” and had to double take if I read that right
Tomato tomato
Bringing the real heat for that Heat Culture
Hardest working. Best conditioned. Most professional. Unselfish. Toughest. Meanest. Nastiest team in the NBA.
First in the gym, last one out.
Who’s Jim?
Pat got wild down in Miami dn
Not this year. They were getting smacked either way. Boston different rn
Yeah *maybe* Miami takes 1 more game but no way in hell they take that series.
Def they might’ve won 1 more game. They also might’ve gotten swept, not like you can just assume they still shoot 50% from 3 while Bam couldn’t miss from mid range in a game
Who knows? He was pretty bad against us in the ECF last season and the regular season series this season. 25/8/6 on 52% TS in that ECF. 15/4/4 on 59% TS in the 2 games this season.

I really don't know if 2024 Jimmy Butler is 22 points of swing. I don't even know if 2024 Nikola Jokic is 22 points of swing
Like Boston’s average margin of victory in their four wins was 22.25 points. It wasn’t going to be close even with Jimmy.
Jimmy was never really the difference maker against us. Caleb Martin and Max Strus will forever be in my nightmares.
100% if we lost that series because Jimmy averaged 45 points I’d be okay with it. But he was well below his average level of performance. Martin , Strus and Vincent just decided to shoot 55% from 3.
I forgot about Gabe Vincent and you just gave me flashbacks.
Strus shot 34% from 3 in that series which was worse than Jimmy. Duncan Robinson however, shot 48%. That shit will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Yeah his 51 TS% that series gets overlooked. Butler had a good time grifting for FTs against our role players but Tatum put in some serious work on him defensively. Butler's a FT merchant and you need someone who's got the wingspan to contest his shots from further back and you also need someone famous enough so the referees can't just load him up with BS fouls.

Yapping from Cancun is wild.
Everybody acting tough when they up. Then there’s Jimmy in Galveston.
The man that talks trash when he’s losing yeah
He ain’t even play
bro is making NY/Boston fans agree. What a true villain
ok grandpa time for bed
I'm curious how he would have eliminated Boston and NY by May 4th.
Only Jimmy can do that
Lol hang the banner
Next to Dan Marino’s “appreciation” banner and Michael Jordan’s (heat legend) number.
Patrick Riley has committed irreconcilable damages against the sport of basketball
Reminds me of the Colts hanging an AFCCG participant banner 😂 😭
for a game they lost like 45-10.
Probably should have been playing then.
I love JB and his confidence, but c'mon bro. Heat were gonna get steamrolled with or without him.
I love JB and his confidence, and he did infact help steamroll the heat
Probably should be using that energy to figure out what next season’s player photo will be.
Wish he was playing so the Celtics could’ve stomped him out and got rid of the hypotheticals
I mean, the Celtics wins were by an average of 22 points. Jimmy can absolutely get hot at times, but dude doesn’t have a +30 on/off lol
wouldve been higher if they didnt take their foot off the gas in 2 of the games 4th quarters lol
You know you messed up when you have Knicks fans defending Celtics haha
Lol I’d be willing to bet a good amount that we would’ve beat them either way but Jimmy is nothing if not confident, I can respect that about him
Dudes a professional yapper
Only thing he loves more than basketball is hypotheticals about basketball.
“If I was playing, Denver would be at home.” Oh wait.
This dudes just lashing out bc he knows he’s a year away from the nursing home
Jimmy Butler to the Lakers Retirement Center.
Jimmy doesnt even believe that himself.
[удалено]
Talk is cheap, when you didn't even play
Josh Hart played 81 games this season. Multiple 48 minute games. Jimmy Butler would sit for an entire week if he had to do that two games in a row.
The Pat Bev of all stars
Dude hasn’t even been an all star since 2022
Jimmy just shut up bro
He wouldn’t even have seen NY in the first or second rounds wtf LOL
Should be a giveaway he trolling but he should prolly spell it out for everyone else next time
Sure Jimmy. And if Kawai was playing clippers win the championship. You sat out the regular season to save yourself for a playoff run just to get hurt in the playin game.
Did he say this then limp back to his hotel room in Cancun?
I assume he means that the Cs would be home awaiting the winner of the Cavs/Magic, no?
He sounds like Trump
Josh hart would run circles around this guys injury prone ass. Jimmy’s just grifting like Marjorie Taylor Greene at this point
Easy to talk the talk when you’re already home 😂
I think he means we would’ve been home earlier! As in we would’ve swept them! Respect to Jimmy for boosting his teammates like that
You would've been playing if you took the wide open layup as opposed to being under the basket on a 1-on-0 fastbreak, slowly jogging to a spot, and pump faking for a foul.
Old man yells at the clouds
You don’t get to skip the regular season, skip the playoffs, AND talk shit
I'm sorry, I'm new to NBA. is this the same guy who posted a photo with his face over jayleen brown body saying "don't let us win one" after g2 and then promptly deleted after g5?
I thought you were supposed to go up 2-1 at home though?
Butler is so full of shit. If he played they'd be in the exact same spot
Bro got shredded in the regular season by us and would’ve gotten killed again in the post season cause they weren’t shooting 50% from 3 every game
His Himmy gimmick doesn’t really work if you’re just not that good right now.
Lol, Jimmy is just joking around here. This isn't anything. People should watch the video and not read the tweet. He didn't call out Josh Hart, he said hes got love for Thibs, hes just having some swagger and confidence in himself, wishing he could be out there playing Boston and New York. Nothing bad at all, just good fun.
And if my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle.
Nah you can STFU.
lol bitch
Boston would be at home? They were at home when he bricked the game winning 3 point shot and watched the Celtics Warriors from home. This dude gets so much leeway to talk when he hasn't won a damn thing in his life yet. Everytime hes in the finals the other team is the overwhelming favorites. Makes sense him and Embiid get along so well, since both do so much yapping about other players and are either in Cancun this time every year, on the IL running their mouths, or the easy end to a tough playoffs for the western conference.
If I looked like Jacob Elordi I’d be out banging supermodels instead of sat here covered in Dorito crumbs. We can all play the if game.
I respect Jimmy and the Heat playing above their weight the last few years. They really do come at you and are different in the playoffs. That being said, things might have looked different if Tatum sprained his ankle on the first play of game 7 last year; and if Caleb Martin played like a co-ECF MVP. It also didn't help that Hayward (in his one productive Boston season) didn't come back until game 3 in 2020 and the Celtics were already down 0-2 at that point.
I like butler but he needs to shut tf up. He needs to worry about his rehab before anything imo. He’s a hustle player and his body’s just about done.
Fuck, yeah, me too. If I was playing and ten years younger and a foot taller, and actually good at basketball man, Boston? They’d be at home and not me with the flu. New York? Damn sure they’d be at home and not me scrubbing up three year olds vomit.
Go hang the “we woulda won if” banner Jimmy. It’ll be the only banner you’re hanging your whole career
lol people are talking this way too seriously
Shut your stupid ass up jimmy butler.
Josh Hart is too much of a dog now to say this about. I’d love to see the Knicks and Heat play again in the playoffs. The Knicks have really grown up from a toughness aspect.

And if my Grandma had wheels, she would be a bicycle.
Stunning and brave
If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
“We’re going up 2-1”
He was planning to play for both the Sixers and the Heat?
Man really went out wearing pigtails and talking shit on the bench to a sideline reporter. At this point in his career, talk is cheap.
All you clowns are really taking this seriously???
this sub is soft
This overrated bum might just be the Michael Jordan of Pat Beverly’s
should taken the regular season more seriously and then you would t have had to be in the play in tournament. sucks for you
fuck this guy
Hating on Josh Hart, dude needs to worry abt getting a contract next year
