Stats on ESPN and etc have him as 3-12 from field. What are you looking at out of curiosity?

Butler is 25% from the field

DanaDane said:

Butler now 41% from the floor, while we've fallen all the way to 36%

Not what Stat Tracker is showing. Maybe it's wrong?
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Teague misses from 3. But Baldwin FINALLY gets called for a charge!!!!! May have been a makeup call for the lack of travel on him.

Butler has to shoot this. He or Bandoo. Bandoo has proven he can make shots tonight... let him make one more.

1-11 from 3 land in the second... Stop shooting ****ing 3s when you can hit water if you'd fall out of boat guys...

DanaDane

Mitchell airballs it. DAMN
rudylaw

Deserve to lose. The call was for Mitchell to rush in and toss one up amongst the trees?? Brutal.

Butler with the ball. 7.9 seconds. Chance to win it.

Mitch Henessey
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We either play great D or we lose. Simple as that.
Johnny Bear

Good lord that was a horrible possession. Why in the world did we have Mitchell shooting that shot??
