2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (MIN leads 3-1)

Butler has been a big bust this series. No where near the running mate needed to win a chip. Andrew Wiggins may have been balling better than this.

TBH he doesn't seem to have that with Warriors. I don't know if Kerr is holding him back, or if he doesn't feel it with this team.

Not particularly big. Was an excellent, but never elite nba athlete. Short wingspan. Good but not great shooter.

While elite in competitiveness, and grit, plus a super high iq, he’s 35.5 now. When you are lacking as described above, you aren’t going to age well into your mid 30s at this time of year trying to be a #1.

Yeah but we've seen it. Jimmy is still in shape. He still has that bit of juice left.

Also Pat Riley was 100 percent right for not giving 36 year old Butler a big deal. He's not worth that anymore.

Just like in the Lakers series, one solid run is all it takes for Minnesota to secure the win

Legler and Pasch keep grasping at straws mentioning Curry's possible return. In the best realistic scenario he'll be a decoy, no way he's moving the way he needs to to have any real impact.

Can they get some help in the offseason. they need players like Shaun Livingston, Iggy and Barnes who can come in a play their role well.

Looking forward to the Warriors building around Curry/Butler/Draymond.

Kuminga just upped his value even as an RFA.

All the fan bases are like that.

At least Jimmy came out swinging in a must win

While I just posted about his limitations as a 1 at this stage in his career, pretty weird post to make when he got to be the running mate for all of 13 minutes.

Kuminga has 53 points in the last two games. I mean, he's been great considering the circumstances.

Really the only silver lining for the Warriors. Kerr not playing him any minutes at all in some playoff games is wild.
