As the Golden State Warriors have been generating significant buzz since the offseason, particularly with the acquisition of Al Horford, NBA fans have high expectations for their regular-season performance. Jimmy Butler and the team have risen to meet these expectations with impressive form on the court.
Following their matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, another team making headlines with new additions, Butler addressed the media with a bold statement aimed at the rest of the league. “It’s a good thing for us [Warriors depth], and it’s a scary thing for everybody else,” Butler confidently declared.
There’s a growing anticipation for the Warriors to deliver stellar performances, especially if key players like Jonathan Kuminga or Moses Moody remain healthy and continue their strong play. Golden State is being eyed as a formidable contender for the championship this season.
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Butler, Horford, Kuminga, Moody, and the rest of the roster are anticipated to make a significant impact as the season progresses. The Warriors have impressively dropped only one game out of four, further solidifying their position as top contenders.
Butler on one of his teammates
Kuminga’s mindset, as noted by head coach Steve Kerr, has noticeably evolved, and the Warriors are reaping the benefits. Butler was quick to praise Kuminga’s recent performances, which have been crucial to the team’s success in recent games.
“He’s key in what we’re trying to do this season. On both sides of the floor… He’s been playing off the charts to start this year,” Butler lauded Kuminga for his exceptional impact on the court.
Butler’s take on the starting five’s age
While some critics argue that age can be a hindrance in sports, the Warriors are defying that notion. Addressing comments circulating on social media and within the league, Butler had a message for the skeptics and also about the youngsters on the roster coming up.
“Us older guys are on our way out of the league, these new young guys have a chance to be great for a very long time. It’s our job to be really good vets to them,” Butler remarked, speaking to the importance of veteran leadership for the younger players.
