Last night Jimmy helped out the Wolves defeating the Jazz going 12-15 for 28 points and 7 assists. Utah is 21st right now in defensive efficiency. Watching the highlights Butler for into the paint for some pretty easy buckets.

I only watched the highlights but Jimmy was great for the 76ers, especially towards the end of the game. He hasn't gone full Jimmy iso ball yet, maybe he wont since he has different teammates, who knows.
Still Wolves ahead 3-0 to the Butlers 2-1

Yep, gotta admit Jimmy had a terrific game last night, dammit...he's about due for a "rest" day soon though!
And yeah, we're 3-0 to their 2-1, and I think most would say our blowout victory over a tough Portland team was much more impressive than Philly's squeaker over an average Utah team. Let's keep this thread going!

Too soon. Butler with 2 blocks on Kemba in OT and then the game winner.

But it should never have gotten to ot.
Butler fouled kemba at the 3 pt line, but refs only gave him 2 fts late in the 4th. Game changer.

They brought him in to close, he's closing. As much as people hate the drama/attitude of Butler, he did drag us to 3rd in the West last year before injury

I started watching in OT. IMO they COULD have called a foul on that last Butler block on Kemba.

Ya Butler is a damn good basketball player, lets not forget we all used to love him. The question is does Butler continue to have good attitude and when push comes to shove how will the young guys in Simmons and Embiid respond when Butler adversity strikes.
Still enjoyed last year with Butler, I hope he fails in Philly but that does not take away how good of a basketball player Butler is when he is locked in.

Found it interesting that Butler played 38 and 39 minutes on a back to back situation. I guess that "shit" doesn't have to stop now that he is on a different team. Apparently he suddenly got into game shape.
I find it odd that the media has suddenly gone quiet, but I'll bet they will be singing his praises tomorrow, and overlooking the subpar game he had tonight.
