On top all these comments from Wade, Butler joined in on the scorching of the earth party as well, adding a few choice jabs at his underperforming teammates.
“If you don’t come in this motherfucker pissed off after you lose any game, if you’re not pissed off that you lost, man, something is wrong, ” Butler said. “This is your job. This is what you’re supposed to love to do, and I don’t think that everybody looks at it that way. I want to play with guys that care, guys that play hard, that want to do well for this organization. That want to win games, man. Do whatever it takes, just win. Who cares who is shining? When we’re winning everybody looks great, everybody is doing what they’re supposed to do. I don’t think that’s happening right now, I really don’t.”
Butler went on to continue to demand his teammates put forth an effort worthy of his and Wade’s efforts, and he wants to win. Plain and simple, even adding his thoughts on all the trade rumors he and other Bulls are involved in currently.
“That’s not my job, ” Butler said. “I don’t give a damn about no trade deadline. I just want to win now. Not later. Now.”
I’m sorry, this is really really sad, but so hard not to laugh at right now as this entire Bulls team implodes and explodes, all while Jimmy Butler continues to turn himself into a bonafide NBA Super-Star…it’s just unprecedented.
The Bulls should be thriving on a night when their two best players are killing it offensively, but when your other starters combine for 13 points on the night and the bench only tosses in 30 points, while playing useless defense, it becomes easier to see why the Bulls just flat-out suck sometimes.
And this isn’t even the best part of the story…
