Jimmy Butler isn’t looking forward to the fine he’ll get after ejection vs. Pelicans | NBA on ESPN

Important is it that while that intensity and the competition of it is something that’s a part of this but turns into a positive for your team and ends up being a victory as well qu man you always want to win wins are hard to come by in this league especially

Against a a good squad like New Orleans um but it just goes to show we’ve been winning with and without guys all year long this is no no different so I’m happy for my guys to be able to go out there and get a dub um first game back

After the break so we we take that momentum and we run with it what have you likeed most about the way you all have done it particularly leading with your defense um I think we just play the right way yes we we go on these stretches where we’re not guarding and

Then we figured out we know who we are we know where we want to be um in a couple of months so we start playing the right way especially on the defensive side of the ball um I think that’s where it all starts for us though we’re guarding somebody offense is easy we

Just got to always lock in on the defensive side of the ball what was your view of why ask ated the way it did um I don’t know uh I mean you know I put my hand around his neck he put his hand around my

Neck and then it just you know it took off the way it did um people really um so I’m think a lot of your fans really love that term kind of like don’t poke the bear do you think like kind of with this tension and um the way everything kind of goes down

Um do you think you’ll carry a little bit of that tension into the next game oh the next time we play them yeah I mean sure uh we’ll beat him the next time too we’re just we’re just the better team I’m not going to say that um

They’re not a good team but I I don’t think this really matters uh I think that you know when we get them on our home court it’s going to be a different game I hope that they’re healthy and uh it’s going to be the same outcome I think our our team is

So ready for anything that anybody’s thrown at us um we’re so together we’re playing some incredible basketball I don’t think it matter who we go up against right now it’s it’s that time of the year you don’t want to get ejected but how much do you enjoy that back and

Forth I love it I love it I don’t want to get ejected not because I’m out there I’m not out there with my team but I don’t like the F that I’m going to get that’s the one that really gets me but I feel like if I’m going to do that I

Should have just earned my fine a little bit more I think I don’t think I should have got thrown out the game first of all so New Orleans got lucky cuz I’m going to come after y’all in the fourth quarter jimy even though you didn’t get

Your full alotment of time it felt and looked like you picked up right where you left off did it feel that way oh hell yeah um even whenever I was out um I had Chris Brickley with me and he’s done numbers for me on the offensive

Side of the ball so I’m just so lucky to have him um I had James Scott with me out in San Diego lucky to have him Armando wasn’t too far away lucky to have him I have a incredible group around me to make sure that I’m prepared

And ready to go now of all time so without them I wouldn’t be able to be me
