Butler should know that it isnt the time to foul hunt right now, a lot of contact being allowed.

Jimmy needs to unlock his mid range game more. Just get in the lane, find your spot and rise for a jumper dude. He keeps dribbling himself into trouble spots.

Run some plays for Steph Curry to be a decoy.

It's not possible for Steph to be a liability on offense unless he's throwing it away every time. His gravity alone will always make him a positive. Jimmy has been fine as well.

He's hunting for fouls more than baskets.

This. That’s why I was always worried about his foul drawing. They are letting a lot go right now.

He’s getting good shots. They will fall eventually.

Just keep up the defense and rebounding and we’re good. Keep it basketball

I want Steph to start driving the ball more. Get some layups to go, maybe get some free throws, he needs to get the confidence up.

On the plus side, the lack of whistles is also disrupting Sengun's offense as well.

Yeah, that's what happens to Harden regularly. They don't give him the calls and he always folds on big games particularly game 7s.

Same formula since the dynasty began. Defense and Buddy.

This is how you change the momentum of the game the wrong way. I've never understood Draymond spasing out in hopes of getting a cheap shot for free.
