Butler is one of the best defenders in the league.
I think our gamelan should be for Butler not to target Isaiah on defense.

As others have said, Butler is a great defender, but IT is so [dang] fast. He's also the only offensive weapon on the Bulls I really fear. If he's going to guard IT, IT has to take it to him and either get him in foul trouble or tire him out.

Regardless of how good of a defender Butler is, this is the playoffs and if IT wants superstar money a year from now, he's going to have to show superstar skill in the playoffs and that's means taking it to the best and still doing what he does.

So not only do we not target butler, they actually put him on Isaiah in the fourth.  And he gives Isaiah all kind of fits.
