Jimmy Butler will be tasked with guarding LeBron James throughout the Bulls-Cavs series. Butler, who will likely take home the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, dropped this quote prior to Game 1:
Butler on LBJ: "He really is a talented player in this league, but I don’t think that intimidates me not to the slightest bit."

Butler: "If we just play the way we’re supposed to play, it doesn’t matter what team we’re going against. I think we can win."

As you might recall, the Celtics’ Jae Crowder said the same thing about not being scared of LeBron. Crowder ended up being on the wrong end of a punch by JR Smith that will cost Smith the first-two games of this series.
Tip-off for the Bulls and Cavs Game 1 is 7 p.m. EST.
