Pat Riley on Butler’s comment about Boston game

Pat Riley responded to Jimmy Butler’s comment about Boston potentially losing if he played by questioning whether Butler was joking or being serious. Riley emphasized that if a player is not on the court playing, they should refrain from making such statements.

“For him to say that, I thought, ‘Is that Jimmy [Butler] trolling, or is that Jimmy serious’… If you’re not on the court playing, you should keep your mouth shut,” Riley said.
