Pacers assistant Dan Burke: Joel Embiid ‘gets away with a bunch of crap the league ignores’

Jimmy Butler and the Golden State Warriors are headed to play Butler’s former team on Tuesday. However, Butler isn’t viewing the trip as any sort of revenge game against the Miami Heat.

“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.”

Butler expressed a fondness for the fans in Miami, but said he doesn’t care what kind of reception he gets on Tuesday.

“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.”

Butler closed by saying his time with the Heat fell short of expectations.

“We were alright,” Butler said. “We didn’t win nothing like we were supposed to. So I don’t know. We made some cool runs. We had some fun. I think that’s all we did.”
