where was he during the Miami game? đ„
Kerr doesn't know how to surround Curry and Butler with the right players.
PlayIn but no playoff.
Green== mediocrity.
He's not even that good defensively
Jimmy is a walking brick
I agree of wanting Jimmy with the ball, my only take is that he should not wait until the shot clock hits 6 seconds to start creating or dribbling.
But we still need more because the role players have no experience in the playoffs, for me I think they should trade podz for Poole
I disagree. Butler's skill set has been heavily diminished. That's his age showing. He is slower and gets easily blocked now. Butler already has limited skills, but aging makes his limited skills show more. I think Miami saw Butler's disintegrating game and was ok to let him go. I think Butler helps the other players perform better, though. But Butler, even with the help he can provide, is not sustainable as he cannot score. He may be able to help Warriors win some games, but not enough against a prime Kawhi and strong Clippers.
One final thought: Curry on court makes everyone perform better — and that includes Butler. But take out Curry, Butler can only rely on his passing and hope his teammates shoot the ball. If they don't make those shots, Butler can't score for the life of him –maybe back in Miami, but not anymore. If Moody, Post and Kuminga can't score, you can only rely on Curry for offense. They missed a lot of 3 pts the past two games.
Butler will probably make 20 pts in one of 3 games, which is not enough as other players won't be able to fill in the scoring every night.
Terrible giannis take bc yea he played bad against us but thru the szn he improved his mid range shooting/post game into a strength. And statistically one the most efficient mid range scorers this year on some of the most volume. He adds to his bag every year but most fans dont watch bucks games to see the improvement
The Warriors need more than Jimmy to get where they're trying to go! Look at them last night and other games. They are not dominating the way they have in the past and they are still too reliant on Steph to be the main scorer.
Get Jordan Poole back here! JP can give us that dynamic playmaking scorer that we need because the Warriors have no one who can produce like him.
J-I-m-m-y: thatâs a weird way to spell Steph
Jimmy addition is Great but in order to win championship âŠ..GSW needs another offensive player who can carry the team if curry is not playing or curry having off nightsâŠ
Jimmy is a great facilitator, he needs the ball. He gets everyone great shots, but if they donât make them itâs a problem.
Remember, the Pelicans are a severely depleted and bad team-and we barely beat them. We need to be a whole lot better.
Kuminga is 22!!! He is the future. This dude keeps walking in to 16 points barely having the ball in his hands. When he does, he makes things happen.
Should have beat this team by at least 30 points
These guys get paid to over hype! The team GSW just beat was another awful team! Steve Kerr seems not to be leaning! Minute and play time just will not work against Supior teams! I will leave it at that!
MR. BUCKETS WAS M.I.A. AGAINST MIAMI.đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Kuminga did not play in the last 6 or so minutes. Why? He was playing great so his payoff is not more meaningful minutes, but the bench instead.
Only one player has won the title at 35 or older as your teamâs best player and that was Jordan, of course.
Steph is going to treat all the teams in the playoffs/finals like he did with Serbia and France.
Olympics Steph is making a return this postseason!!
Yeah and Steph just showed why they need him last night. Jimmy without Steph can't lead this team. Potentially vice versa but Steph does things that people don't appreciate.
