Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose continued to run wild over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, combining for 58 points and giving the Chicago Bulls a commanding 3-0 series lead. And after the game, Butler couldn’t resist dropping an F-bomb.
According to The Cauldron, Butler was joking with a reporter when he told him to “put your f—ing hand down.” He must not have realized his microphone was hot.
Whether you approve of his language or not, Butler has emerged as an incredibly important player for the Bulls this season. He’s the running mate Chicago needs to take pressure off of Rose, and he has shown he can handle the postseason spotlight by averaging 26.7 points per game so far this series.
We wouldn’t exactly call Butler’s F-bomb the best one we have heard this month, but his play has been stellar. The Bulls will be a tough out if Butler and Rose continue playing like they have this series.
