After a 16-point loss in New York against the Knicks back in December this past season, Jimmy Butler inadvertently called out rookie head coach Fred Hoiberg. “I believe in the guys in this locker room, yeah,” Butler said. “But I also believe that we probably have to be coached a lot harder at times.”
Later in the season, Butler was taking photos (when he wasn’t active on the floor) with friend and Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg during the Bulls’ blowout win in their lone trip to Staples Center against the Los Angeles Lakers.
