Bulls: Jimmy Butler wants Mason Plumlee to pay his fine
PORTLAND— It wasn’t quite the confrontation in last spring’s playoffs between Taj Gibson and Matthew Dellavedova, but Jimmy Butler and Trailblazers center Mason Plumlee got themselves into a bit of a physical confrontation in the Bulls’ 93-88 win Tuesday.
Plumlee charged into Butler with his shoulder in the fourth quarter, and Butler retaliated by locking Plumlee’s legs, causing him to fall. The two locked heads but that was about it.
It’ll likely cost Butler $2,500 since he picked up a technical foul, and Plumlee was assessed a flagrant one, but Butler wasn’t pleased with Plumlee after the game.
“He thought he was playing football for a second there,” Butler said. “Almost had to let the Fort Greene Projects out of me, Brooklyn, you know what I’m saying?”
It was said tongue in cheek considering Gibson was a few feet over and Butler wanted to draw some laughs. Gibson is a Brooklyn native and grew up in the Fort Greene Projects while Butler grew up in Tomball, Texas.
“Taj is, though,” said Butler when reminded he wasn’t from New York. “Basketball, emotions, part of the game.”
It was no laughing matter when he said he would find a way to approach Plumlee about the fine money, jokingly suggesting he would have his agent email him at “Mr. Dukie@yahoo.com or something” and made a joke about Mike Dunleavy applauding Plumlee’s act.
Plumlee and Dunleavy are products of Duke University.
“Yeah, he cost me 2,500,” Butler said. “I’m not happy about that. Gonna ask him to pay me back and I’m not playing.”

That sounds like something a coach would do in a movie then the whole locker room looks around at each other and nods there heads together then they come out and win the championship after.

^^^That's just Ball man.
And this "Jazz are better without him" can't roll this year.
Last year maybe, but Jazz are terrible this year. They were supposed to eat.
Well, they, are not, eating bruh.

Huh?
Jazz are 6-7 so far coming off a 2 game losing streak, and have one of the best defenses in the league. With the rest of the West struggling besides GSW, they are in decent position thru 15 games.

Jazz were supposed to be 8th seed. They are in striking distance but Hayward need to prove himself

I'm not impressed.
All I heard all off season was "their D, their D" "Gobert got next". "Young God Gobert"
Maybe Exum can help when he returns but have you watched the Jazz? Exum can walk through that door and they are still the Jazz. Better without Kanter, lol, dudes are stationary in comparison. Let's get off that.
Kanter won Jazz lost
