Jimmy Butler says it would be just another game against former team Miami Heat

Golden State Warriors’ Jimmy Butler said the Tuesday game against his former team Miami Heat will be just another game for him. The Dubs suffered a disappointing 124-115 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday after Stephen Curry was ruled out with a pelvic contusion.

Butler said it would be the same feeling for him as it was when he played his first game against former teams like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Minnesota.

“Yeah, I was traded from there, yada, yada, yada,” Butler said after finishing with 25 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds in the loss to Atlanta. “Yeah, it didn’t end the way that people wanted to, yada yada yada.

“But that’s so far behind me now. I don’t even think about it. I don’t pay attention to nothing except for the trajectory of this squad.”

Despite losing against Atlanta, the Warriors (41-30) are 16-4 since Butler’s debut Feb. 8.

Draymond Green said it will be a crucial game for Jimmy Butler.

“We got Jimmy over here, I know this is a big game for him,” Warriors power forward Draymond Green said. “They got Wiggs over there. I know it’s a huge game for him. We want to win for Jimmy, they’re going to want to win for Wiggs. We got to come out ready to play.”

Butler said he is not bothered about the reception he would receive from Miami’s fans.

“Not really, don’t make no difference,” Butler said. “I’m a member of the Golden State Warriors. I love that fan base. They showed me a lot of love while I was there. But I’m there to win now. I’m on the opposing team.”

Curry would be reevaluated on Monday and Butler said they got to look to win without their talisman’s services.

“Another game for me, another game that we’re expected to win for sure,” Butler said after expressing disappointment of losing to the Hawks. “So we got to figure it out very quickly [without Curry].”
