this is the face of a man who truly does not care about early part of the regular season

[–] KirkOverGoff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love that he got so sick of getting his ass whooped by the Timberwolves after talking shit, so he decided to just not play against them anymore. Sat out the last 4 against them lmao

Gg t wolves, TALK YO SHIT

[–] fartswitheagles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not as good as the Rachel Nichols chant but still pretty great

[–] UnearthlyDinosaur@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Kevin love is taking the Haslem role this season

[–] nghoitong@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder how the timberwolves fans think of him now

[–] cdizzle6@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

T-Wolves fan checking in. Dude was a beast, dropped double-doubles like it was taking a breath. Outlet passes were pleasant to watch. At the end of the day, there were a lot of empty stats, but wish him nothing but the best.

[–] itormentbunnies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Except he still plays very productive minutes. Love Haslem, but after getting bought out/signing with Miami last year, Love has played almost the same number of minutes that Haslem did in Haslem's last 7 years(in 23 games).

[–] edca5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Except Haslem 7 years ago was still older than today's Love

[–] BigFuckHead_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's not bad in short stints. Haslem only played 3 minutes of garbage time once every 4 games for years. Either way I think the bench riding vet has a place

[–] OttoRocket94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Haslem rarely ever played his last 5 years+ in the league. Love plays every night usually, sometimes starting. It’s not a ton of minutes per game but Love isn’t just riding the bench

[–] le_sweden@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol I love this. Jimmy is pretty funny honestly

[–] recollectionsmayvary@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s a huge troll and he is amused at getting trolled too lol I just can’t see him getting wound up esp if it’s a funny troll directed at him.

[–] lethalizer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lmao I love this.

The chant AND the response. This is what sports are all about.

[–] DarkKnightCometh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The response would be better if they weren't down by 20 lol. I know it's only game 2, but Jimmy looking unbothered after a blowout loss.

[–] HoraceGrantGlasses@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sports are mostly about competing and not have to take a break after 2 games in the season.

[–] CountTwoTenAgain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy made the right decision to rest 😂

Guys can I ask in a non judgmental way, mad players are blowing kisses this year. Is it just like hey it’s 2023 kisses are for everyone or did I miss a pop cultural blown kiss or something. Please help because blowing a kiss when I was in high school would get your hit

[–] u-and-whose-army@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Magic are the best team in FL this year.

[–] KyleShanadad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] u-and-whose-army@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right now we are :) but in all seriousness, we are better than you this year. You have no depth. Jimmy or Bam goes down, you are screwed.

[–] KyleShanadad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Typically when a team loses their best player they tend to be much worse. The nuggets would suck without Jokic too lol. Doesn’t change the fact that the nuggets have the best roster in the NBA. We’ll see tho the magic are much improved maybe they’ll get a play in spot

[–] u-and-whose-army@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good news for the Nuggets is they have a team full of NBA players. You guys have three good players, and a 40 year old Kyle Lowry. Doubt you're going to get as much from your no name players as last year.

[–] Ok_Classic_744@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s the context here?

[–] VikingPain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The guy keeps ducking us. We trolled his ass with the "Rachel Nichols" chant after the Wolves came back to beat the Heat in 2021 and hasn't played here since.

[–] PhiloBlackCardinal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao I doubt he gives a fuck about that

[–] FlowingMochi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They give any love to Kevin or was it all about Jimmy?

[–] SQLNerd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love hasn't been a wolf for 8 years. Fans have moved on.

[–] Thedeacon161@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Are nba fans just going to chant stuff like the English premier league? I’m for it, “who’s your daddy” directed at the lakers is great because it establishes dominance while reminding Lebron James that he had a deadbeat dad. Fanbases across the league should start chanting “no, don’t shoot” whenever ja morant has the ball just to guck with him.

[–] ThaNotoriousBLT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

GOAT shit eating grin

[–] Hairspray16@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was at this game and the chants were WAY LOUDER than what this clip shows. It was an insane moment it felt like all 13000 people in the building had their eyes on Jimmy butler to see how he would react. I would describe it as very tense and hostile it was GREAT

[–] Sad-Entertainer1462@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

K Love never really got the love he deserved from Minnesota fans

[–] ThatReallyFatKid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It kills me that Love is in that shot. Haha he was in Minnesota much longer than Jimmy.

[–] straightcashhomey29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t know if this makes me a bad Timberwolves fan, but I still love Jimmy Butler. The unfortunate truth is he was correct - Towns and Wiggins sucked.

Has not been easy being a Timberwolves fan.

[–] ApplicationOther2930@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why were so many in plain clothes? Is this preseason?

[–] HItide69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Twas a full moon tonight

[–] Choomba_Lord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He seemed fine last game - why is he not playing?

[–] SunstormGT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is always scared playing TW. He played like 1 or 2 games after he left us.

[–] VikingPain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's been bitching out and ducking us for two years straight.

[–] DismalWard77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I would too if I were Jimmy. Last time y'all made it out of the 1st round was when KG was there in 04. No need to try hard against a team he'll never meet in the playoffs.

[–] sikander69d@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love this man. national treasure

[–] thebranbran@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My biggest issue with stars not playing back to backs is the ticket prices. Whenever I go to buy tickets for a game, I’m always looking to see if the opponent or my home team is on the second night of a back to back or not. Cause if they are, I’m not buying until day of if it’s a game I really want to go to.

Injuries happen and that’s part of the game. But if I bought tickets to see this game, I’d be really disappointed to find out Jimmy sat out because of rest. Like, I get they’re doing what’s best for their health in the long run but as someone who doesn’t have a large fund for live sports, shits disappointing.

[–] UltraMoglog64@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s crazy that when Jimmy said “Skip a team” he meant “Skip every game against them for two full years and counting” lol

[–] CabbageStockExchange@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

NBA crowds have been in fantastic voice so far

[–] VRomero32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There he goes and selling Big Head Coffee
When they say, "Where is Jimmy?"
Ballgames with names that Jimmy is playing
All they say is, "Where is Jimmy?"
I try to understand because I'm people too
And chanting names is part of Twolves fan nature
Ant-Man in overdrive
It's great to be alive

[–] simpledeadwitches@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love Jimmy Buckets. Fuck the Miami Heat tho.

[–] Perc-AngIe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why is he not playing? Season just started. This is exactly why people don’t tune into games- you look forward to a match up, turn it on and the star players ain’t even playing

[–] YesOrNah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To load manage this early in the season is truly pathetic.

[–] PoppinfreshOG@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy didn’t get permission from Derrick White to play
