I was really impressed. Jimmy Butler was mature, serious, and forthcoming. Jimmy is an asshole by nature...and I mean that totally positively!--and I have seen him not be forthcoming with reporters post-game and be not serious. I really liked this. Then...I read this:
But some looked at Jimmy Butler’s disposition and stat line — 10 points on 10 field goal attempts and a -34 in his minutes — and saw something worrisome.
Oh.
(Shams Charania said on ESPN last Friday that sources told him there had been "very, very testy moments" between Jimmy and the coaching staff and other players. Jimmy admitted in April that "things are not always good" between him and Spo and that they got into a "little predicament" during a game against San Antonio.)
Uh oh.
Nooo!!!
And all of a sudden I had this feeling come over me of having been snowed by the kinder, gentler, more mature Jimmy.
