Bulls' Jimmy Butler looks forward to guarding Celtics' Isaiah Thomas
Bulls guard Jimmy Butler can’t wait for the matchup with Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas.
Bulls will face the Celtics in the 1st round of the 2017 NBA Playoffs.
Per ESPN, Bulls All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler says he is looking forward to the challenge of guarding Boston Celtics All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas in their upcoming playoff series, which begins Sunday night in Boston.
"I look forward to that matchup," Butler said after Friday's practice. "Especially what he's done this year for that team. I know that it's going to come at some point in time. I don't know when -- but I'm going to make it tough for him. For anybody that I'm guarding. Not just me, it's going to be a team effort. I'm going to get beat at times, I'm going to need guys to be there. If not, then we'll do it over and over again 'til somebody is there if I'm beat. But I look forward to that challenge. I want that."
