The Warriors have experienced a significant boost in performance since acquiring Jimmy Butler, evidenced by their 5-1 record and improved statistics. His ability to simplify the game has benefited not just the stars like Steph Curry and Draymond Green but also younger players such as Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski. Coach Steve Kerr attributes the team's growing efficiency on both ends of the court to Butler's high basketball IQ, passing skills, and leadership, suggesting that they're poised for a strong playoff run.
“It’s just easier to make sense of everything when you’ve got a guy like (Butler) who’s out there reading possessions and making the right play over and over again.”
“When people play off of him, the game is simplified... the game has gotten easier because we can play through Jimmy.”
“Their offense has been one of the most efficient in the NBA... Their defense has been even better.”
