Even “Playoff Jimmy” needs a day off. The Golden State Warriors star took the time for a fun day out with a Texas-sized margarita after defeating the Houston Rockets in Game 1.

Since coming over to the Warriors in a February trade from the Miami Heat, Golden State has one of the best records in the league and the No. 1 ranked defense in several categories. Butler and his teammates put the clamps down on Houston to steal the first game on the road, 95-85.

Before Wednesday night’s Game 2 at the Toyota Center, Butler relaxed out with his boys playing some dominoes aka “bones.”

At least he’s drinking water there and hydrating because he also showed off a ginormous margarita with a full Dos Equis beer in it.

That looks amazing. Houston has some killer Tex-Mex, too.

That’s quite the fit on, too, with the Texas hat. Butler is clearly enjoying himself and has been a different person since coming to the Warriors vs. the one who ended things strained with Pat Riley and the Heat.

Here’s his full post with more photos.

Will the good times keep rolling for Butler and the Warriors in Texas, or will they head back to the Bay Area all even after Wednesday?
