MAN. YOU’RE WELCOME BUDDY. >> AND JIMMY, WE HAVEN’T DONE
NOTHING YET. >> DRAYMOND DECLARED THAT
TONIGHT JIMMY BECAME BATMAN.
AND BUDDY WENT FROM ALFRED TO
ROBIN. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY
COMMENTS ON THAT DECLARATION. >> NO I’LL
START OUT I’LL START OUT. >> NO NO NO NO. >> NO NO NO. >> I’M BATMAN
TODAY. I SAVED THE DAY. HE’S STILL ROBIN. >> ALL
RIGHT. WELL, I’M STILL ROBIN. YES. AND STEPH STILL
BATMAN AND BUTTERED IS STILL
WHO HE IS. >> CALL ME BUTTERED. >> BUT HE HAD ANOTHER GOOD
GAME, MAN. EXCEPT FOR THAT
STUPID THING YOU DID AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE GAME WHEN YOU DIDN’T
HAVE ON THE RIGHT SHORTS. IT’S NOT
REAL. ROBIN AND OR BATMAN LIKE. >> BUDDY, WHAT HAPPENED WITH
THE WARDROBE MALFUNCTION? >> JIMMY SWITCHES OUT WITH
JIMMY FAULT. >> OKAY. >> JIMMY SWITCHES OUT
AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS. I WAS LOOKING FOR
MY SHORTS AND I THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT ONE. HE SAID, YO, PUT
THESE ON. IT WAS THE RIGHT. AND THAT WAS THE. >> THAT’S THAT’S
WHAT YOU’RE GOING WITH. >> YEAH. I’M GOING.
JIMMY, IS JIMMY FAULT? HIS LOCKER IS NEXT
TO MY LOCKER. I WAS LOOKING AT MY SHORTS. HE’S LIKE, YO, I
CAN’T FIND MY SHORTS. OH, I SEE THERE. AND I PUT THEM ON. I
LOOK JUST ALIKE. AND AFTER THAT
I GOT A FINE FOR IT. IT’S. IT’S COOL.
IT’S JIMMY’S FAULT. BLAME
JIMMY. >> JIMMY I MEAN OBVIOUSLY, YOU
KNOW, THERE’S ALWAYS SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY ON YOU. BUT WHEN
YOU SEE STEPH GO DOWN. >> RESPONSIBILITY IN THE SHORTS
TO LIKE, I’M TELLING YOU RESPONSIBILITY ON HIM. HE’S NOT
DOING HIS JOB. >> WHEN YOU SEE STEPH GO DOWN,
WHAT DOES THAT COMMUNICATE TO YOU. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO.
AND THEN WHAT DID YOU SEE FROM BUDDY WHEN STEPH. >> GOES YEAH
I SAW BUTTER BE AGGRESSIVE AND MAKE SOME SOME
TIMELY SHOTS AND GET STOPS IN A BIG WAY. I THINK WE ALL WANT 30
BACK THAT THAT IS FOR SURE. BUT WE WANT HIM TO DO HIS BEST FOR
HIMSELF, BEST FOR OUR GROUP IN THE LONG RUN AND THE LONG HAUL.
AND UNTIL THE END WE CAN HOLD DOWN THE FORT. I KNOW WE CAN.
>> JIMMY, YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH THESE TYPES OF THINGS BEFORE.
WHAT PSYCHOLOGICALLY HAPPENS TO A PLAYER? YOU PUT EVERYTHING
INTO THIS AND THEN YOU CAN’T PLAY LIKE, WHAT IS THAT GOING
THROUGH? >> IT’S TOUGH. YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT. AND HE WANTS TO BE OUT THERE. I
THINK HE KNOWS. AND WE KNOW HOW MUCH EASIER THE GAME IS FOR US.
WHENEVER HE’S HOOPING AT A HIGH LEVEL. BUT I THINK WE’RE ALL
PREPARED TO COMPETE AND WIN WITHOUT HIM. WE DON’T WANT TO,
BUT WE ARE PREPARED AND WE MAY HAVE TO. SO WE’LL SEE WHAT IT
ALL MEANS AND WHAT IT ALL SAYS COME TOMORROW. >> DRAYMOND
MENTIONED THAT YOU TWO GUYS WERE KIND OF GOING
BACK AND FORTH IN THE HUDDLE
EVEN. DO YOU FEED OFF I MEAN WE’VE SEEN
IT. WE’VE SEEN YOU GUYS GO BACK BEFORE. YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT
NOW. >> AND WHY WAS GOING BACK AND
FORTH. >> WHY WERE YOU GOING BACK AND
FORTH. >> BECAUSE WHEN I YOU KNOW
WHAT, I’M NOT GOING TO SAY
EXACTLY WHAT I’M WHAT I SAY IN THE
LOCKER ROOM. BUT WHEN I GOT A MISMATCH IN THE POST, DON’T
CUT. STAY ON IT, STAY ON THE PERIMETER. >> IF YOU GOT A
MISMATCH AND YOU SCORE THE BALL. >> I AM GOING
TO SCORE THE BALL. I CAN’T SCORE THE BALL. WHEN
YOU CUT INTO MY SPACE, YOU’RE A SHOOTER. YOU’RE NOT EVEN A
CUTTER. >> YOU’RE JUST GOING TO SCORE.
>> YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU SHOT A LAYUP IN THE FIRST
QUARTER. SMOKEY ROBINSON THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID. USE THE
BACKBOARD TO. EXACTLY. >> YOU GUYS FEED OFF OF THIS
THOUGH. I MEAN, IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU CAN DO THIS. DOES IT
TRANSLATE TO WHAT HAPPENS ON
THE COURT. >> IT ACTUALLY DOES
BECAUSE I RESPECT BUTTERED SO MUCH
BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHATEVER I’M
SAYING. >> MY NAME IS BUDDY. >> BUT
THAT’S SHORT FOR BUTTERED. IT’S HE KNOWS WHAT
I’M SAYING IS ALWAYS TOWARDS WINNING. SAME THING THAT THAT
DRAYMOND DOES AND EVERYBODY.
AND YOU CAN TALK TO WHOEVER YOU
WANT TO TALK TO LIKE THAT IN
THE MOMENT. AND THEN YOU MOVE PAST
IT. YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING. LIKE WE HAD ANOTHER SOMETHING
IN THE HUDDLE. HE WAS LIKE YOU
KNOW WHAT? YOU’RE RIGHT. AND WE MOVE
ON BECAUSE THE MAIN GOAL IS TO WIN. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. I
JUST WANT TO WIN. I UNDERSTAND
THAT HE JUST WANT TO WIN. SO WE’RE
ABLE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER, >> PERHAPS. >> YOU GUYS GOT A
LOT OF CONTRIBUTIONS UP AND DOWN. I’M
CURIOUS WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HE’S DONE REALLY THE LAST
TWO GAMES AND WHAT SPENCER DID TODAY. >> YEAH. >> I MEAN, PAT WAS BIG. HE CAME
IN AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I’M SURE YOU GUYS SAW FLASHES IN
THE HOUSTON SERIES WHERE HE
JUST BEING AGGRESSIVE, JUST GETTING
DOWN THE FLOOR, GETTING STOPS, SCORING THE BASKETBALL. CRAFTY.
AND LOONEY IS A PRO’S PRO. YOU KNOW HE’S WHENEVER YOU CALL HIS
NUMBER HE’S ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
HE DOESN’T HE DOESN’T COMPLAIN. HE
DOES HIS JOB AND HE DOES HIS
JOB AT A HIGH LEVEL. AND THAT’S WHY
HE’S A CHAMPION. >> THANKS YOU GUYS GARY
COMPARED YOU TO BICKERING
BROTHERS. AND YOU’RE THE LITTLE ANNOYING
BROTHER AND YOU’RE THE OLDER BROTHER. >> AND WHAT GARY IS. >> I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE HE’S THE
MIDDLE BROTHER. >> THE CLUMSY ONE, ALWAYS. >>
DOING THE. DUMBEST STUFF EVER. >> YOU LITERALLY WORE THE
WRONG SHORTS. THE AUDACITY. >> DO YOU
THINK THAT THIS CREATES KIND OF A LITTLE FAMILY
ENVIRONMENT TO. >> YEAH, I THINK WE REALLY DO
ENJOY BEING AROUND EACH OTHER. WE REALLY DO ENJOY WHEN
SOMEBODY ELSE IS PLAYING GREAT.
AND WHENEVER EVERYBODY ELSE IS
SHINING, EVERYBODY’S HAPPY. SO IT’S A IT’S A GOOD FEELING TO
HAVE THIS ENERGY. >> AND THIS ENERGY IN
RELATIONSHIP KIND OF HELP YOUR
I MEAN, YOU, YOU WHEN YOU GOT
HERE, IT SEEMED LIKE IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR YOU TO BE PART OF
THE GROUP. >> WE HAD TO MAKE SURE HE GOT
HIS JOY BACK BECAUSE SOMEHOW HE LOST HIS JOY. YOU’RE NOT GOING
TO SAY WHERE HE LOST HIS JOY, BUT SOMEHOW HE LOST HIS JOY. >>
WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THESE ARE
CALLED? WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? >> TWO FINGERS. ARE WE DONE? >>
NO. >> OH, NO. >> WOW. >> JIMMY. HOW? STEPH’S
OBVIOUSLY A VERY UNIQUE PLAYER.
NOT JUST HOW GOOD HE IS, BUT THE WAY HE
PLAYS WITH HIM OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE THE OFFENSE HAS TO CHANGE
THE WAY IT FUNCTIONS. AND OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF IT’S THROUGH
YOU. HOW DO YOU SEE WHAT THE OFFENSE NEEDS TO DO? HOW WOULD
YOU DESCRIBE WHAT THE OFFENSE NEEDS TO DO IF HE’S OUT FOR A
COUPLE GAMES? >> BALL JUST NEEDS TO MOVE A
LOT MORE, FIND THE OPEN GUY,
ATTACK CLOSEOUTS GET INTO THE PAINT,
AND I GUESS IT’S GOING TO BE MY JOB TO DRAW A LITTLE BIT MORE
ATTENTION. PROBABLY NOT AS MUCH AS STEPH DOES DRAW, BUT I GOT
TO FIND A WAY TO SCORE AND GET EVERYBODY ELSE INVOLVED. >>
JIMMY, YOUR BELIEF IN THIS TEAM IS STEADFAST, BUT TO SEE
THIS TEAM WIN WITHOUT STEPH, A GAME ONE ON THE ROAD IN
MINNESOTA IN THE SEMIFINALS, WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR THIS
TEAM? >> I’VE SAID IT BEFORE.
ANY TEAM WITH ME ON IT I THINK HAS A
CHANCE. AND I KNOW THAT ANY
TEAM WITH STEPH ON IT DOES HAVE A
CHANCE AND MY GUYS BELIEVE IT TOO. THEY WORK SO HARD AT THEIR
CRAFT EVERY SINGLE DAY. THEY DON’T SHY AWAY FROM ANY MOMENT,
FROM ANY MATCHUP. THEY’LL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK THEM TO DO TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING, AND WE’RE GOING TO
NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK IF 30 IS NOT READY TO GO. >> JIMMY,
YOU’VE ALWAYS PLAYED WITHIN THE CONSTRUCT OF THE
TEAM. YOU NEVER REALLY WANT TO STAND OUT, BUT IN OTHER STOPS
YOU’VE HAD TO BE A HIGH USAGE GUY. ARE YOU PREPARED TO TAKE
ON THAT RESPONSIBILITY AGAIN? >> IF I HAVE TO, I DON’T. I’M
NOT A VOLUME SHOOTER. NEVER
HAVE BEEN. PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE.
BUT I’M GONNA PLAY THE RIGHT WAY. MY GUYS IS OPEN. I’M A
PASSER AND I’M A, YOU KNOW, SHOOT IT. AND IF THEY DON’T
SHOOT IT, I’M PROBABLY GOING TO YELL AT THEM FOR NOT SHOOTING
THE BALL. AND I’M JUST GOING TO HAVE TO BE EFFICIENT. I’M GONNA
HAVE TO PLAY HARD. I KNOW I’M GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF MINUTES
COMING MY WAY. I TRAIN FOR
THIS, BUT WE’RE READY FOR IT. >>
JIMMY, STEVE SAID. BUDDY IS A TWO WAY PLAYER NOW. LIKE, HOW
TOUGH WAS IT FOR YOU TO MOLD
HIM INTO THAT? >> ME MOLD HIM. AND
YOU KNOW WHAT I DO? BE FRYING HIM ONE ON
ONE, DON’T I? >> YOU PERHAPS. >> YEAH. >> HE HAD HIS MOMENTS. >> I
AIN’T GONNA LIE. BUTTER. BUTTER HAS BEEN STEPPING UP BIG
TIME ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL FOR SURE TO START OUT
THE GAMES. AND IT’S CRAZY BECAUSE I THINK HE. WHAT? YOU
HAD TWO POINTS AT HALF TWO POINTS. BUT HIS DEFENSE WAS OFF
THE CHARTS AND YOU GOT THE TOUGHEST MATCHUP IN GUARD AND
ANTHONY EDWARDS. AND THEN HE CAME BACK STILL GUARDING AT A
HIGH LEVEL AND CREATING MAKING SHOTS. TWO WAY PLAYER IS A
STRETCH BUT BUTTERED IS HE’S BEEN KEY. HE’S BEEN KEY. >> I’M
NICE. >> FOR BOTH OF YOU GUYS BUDDY.
YOU FINISHED WITH EIGHT
REBOUNDS JIMMY. YOU CAME OUT AND HAD SIX
OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS IN THE FIRST HALF. JUST JUST THE MENTALITY
AGAINST THIS BIGGER TEAM GOING UP AND GETTING THOSE REBOUNDS.
>> I THINK THE MINDSET WAS BOXING. RUDY GOBERT, HE GOT A
FAIR SHARE OF THEM. BUT I JUST BOXED HIM OUT. WE KNOW WHAT HE
DID IN THE LAKERS SERIES AND
HOW EFFECTIVE HE WAS, AND WE GOT
GUYS WAS DOING DOING THEIR WORK EARLY TO PREVENT THAT AND JUST
GOT TO KEEP ON CONTINUING BECAUSE IF HE CONTINUE TO
BOARDS AND GET OUT AND PLAY OUR BASKETBALL AND PUT THE BALL IN
JIMMY’S HANDS LIKE, LIKE WE’VE ALL BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND JUST
TRUST HIM TO MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY, I THINK WE’LL BE IN GOOD
SHAPE. >> JIMMY. THERE WAS THERE WAS
SOME HYPE ABOUT YOU COMING BACK PLAYING HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
SINCE 2021. DID YOU NOTICE THE LIGHT BLUES AND THE RESPONSE?
>> THAT DOESN’T BOTHER ME, BUT PEOPLE DO HAVE TO WASH THEIR
MOUTH. YOU KNOW, IT’S COOL WITH THE BOOS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
BUT YOU CALLING PEOPLE OUT OF
THEIR NAMES AND ALL OF THAT STUFF,
WHICH I CAN HEAR. BUT THEY SAY, YOU WANT ME TO REPEAT IT? YEAH.
NO, I’M NOT GONNA REPEAT IT. IT’S NOT GOOD THAT THAT THAT’S
UNNECESSARY. THE BOOS, I GET
IT, I UNDERSTAND. LET’S JUST KEEP
IT AT THAT. >> YEAH. WATCH YOUR MOUTH. >>
THANKS, LITTLE BRO. >> ALL. THANK YOU. >> THANK
Y’ALL. BE GOOD. >> GOOD JOB.
