Exit 1-4! I m so sorry for the Warriors, Butler fell into frustration after the game, and also talked about Curry

NBA playoffs continued, and the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 110-121. There was no suspense in this game. The Warriors were 7 points behind in the first quarter, and the score difference in the second quarter reached double digits. The Timberwolves still had the upper hand in the third quarter. The Warriors counterattacked tenaciously in the last quarter and once chased to single digits, but Edwards and Randle scored consecutively to respond, and the pit dug in front was too deep, so the Warriors were unable to reverse. In terms of data, Butler scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Pojemsky scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Green scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers, Hilder scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, Davis scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, Kumingga scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and Moody scored 12 points and 2 assists.

After this game, the series score reached 1-4, the Warriors were officially eliminated, and the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and the opponent will be born in the Thunder and the Nuggets. Many Warriors fans are very helpless and believe that if Curry returns, the Warriors can complete the reversal. To be honest, there is almost no possibility of this. Even if Curry can come back from G5, it is basically no chance to fall behind and turn around 1-3. You must know that the Timberwolves are not weak. Of course, you have to find the reason for losing. Looking at the whole game, the Warriors mainly did five things, first of all, the mistakes were frequent, the team had as many as 17 times, Hilder took 4 times by himself, and the Timberwolves made many mistakes, 20 times.

But Warriors are already at a disadvantage, so they have no room for fault tolerance. The second reason for the loss was that the Warriors were seriously inaccurate from the outside, with only 11 of 39 shots, butler made 0 of 3, Green made 1 of 6, Pojem made 0 of 4, Posted made 1 of 4, and Santos made 0 of 3, all of which were too unsightly to see. Without Curry's restraint, the Warriors failed to make the outside shot. The third reason for losing is that Curry is absent, which leads to the Warriors' offense being too bad. They finally approach the score difference, but the power suddenly went out. The fourth reason for losing is that Butler's performance is still not ideal, with 4 of 11 shots and only 8 points in the first half, with a positive and negative value of -19 the lowest in the game. The Timberwolves have been blocking Butler on the defensive end.

This affected Butler's performance, but his lack of aggressiveness is also a fact. Butler played very hard in the second half, but his output was far from enough firepower. Overall, with Curry being injured, Butler led the team to win a game. According to statistics, Butler's average data in this round of series was 20.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals, and the shooting percentages of the three events were 43%, 30% and 75% respectively. If Curry was there, Butler's data would definitely be qualified. If Curry is not Curry, Butler is a bit awkward to be honest. In addition, Butler is now 35 years old. He will start executing a new contract next season, with an annual salary of 54.13 million US dollars, which is very unfavorable to the Warriors.

Because even if the Warriors retain their existing lineup, as Curry, Green and Butler increase their age further, they will definitely have no chance to win the championship next year. It is probably difficult to enter the playoffs. Just like the view of the famous basketball commentator Su Qun, the Warriors are not ruled out to actively trade Butler in the offseason, but the big contract is here, and the Warriors are probably only in their hands. The final reason for the loss was that in addition to Butler, the Warriors also performed poorly, such as Hilder, who missed repeatedly and made many mistakes. For example, Green and Pojemsky played poorly. Kumingga’s paper data was not bad, but unfortunately there was a loophole on the defensive end. Kumingga is also facing the issue of contract renewal now, and I don’t know how the Warriors will choose. After the game, Butler was interviewed. When talking about the loss, he said frustrated: "The responsibility for this loss lies in me. I did not play aggressively and hit those shots. This made our game struggle. I must play better at the beginning of the game and concentrate on attacking the basket." These words are easy to understand. Butler believes that the responsibility for losing lies in him. He thinks he is sorry to the Warriors. It can be seen that Butler is quite responsible and takes the initiative to take responsibility. Butler then continued: "If we stay healthy, the results may be different, but who can say it correctly? We will regain our strength, solve these problems, and fight again next year."

According to Butler's point of view, he obviously does not want to leave the Warriors, which undoubtedly poses a problem for the Warriors. To be honest, the Warriors have almost no room for reinforcement unless they find a way to trade Butler, but as mentioned earlier, the 35-year-old Butler's contract is too big to attract any team, and the Warriors management will have a headache during the offseason. Finally, Butler also personally thanked Curry, saying: "Stephen (Curry) is one of the best players of all time. His basketball IQ and his shooting ability are incredible. I am very grateful to Stephen. It is a pleasure to be able to fight with him. We have been actively communicating since I came here."
