Mature! The Heat were eliminated last year. Butler said that if he played, he would let the Celtics return home

May 15th, the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 today, and stopped in the second round.

After the game, Butler talked about Curry's injury, and said: "Everyone's role will change, but this is the game, and injuries will happen (But this is just games. Injuries happen.), but Stephen is not here, it will be very different."

It is worth mentioning that last year, Butler missed the first round against the Celtics due to injury while at the Heat, and the Heat lost 1-4 to the opponent. In a video, Butler called out to the Celtics and the Knicks: "If I could play, Boston has gone home now, and New York will definitely go home (East Finals).

This remark also aroused Riley's dissatisfaction, and said bluntly at the press conference: "I was thinking about his remarks, 'Is he kidding, or is he serious?' If you are not on the court against the Boston Celtics or the New York Knicks, then you should shut your mouth." The report pointed out that Butler was caught off guard by Riley's public criticism, which was also the beginning of the conflict between the two.
