Jimmy Butler's game 5 Performance of NBA analysts criticized – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Warriors' striker, Jimmy Butler, did not do justice to his “Playoff Jimmy” wheels in the last two defeats of the Golden State in his Western Conference against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Under the weather, Butler tried 4 and 5 20 combined shots and scored 31 points, far below what was expected by the six-time NBA All-Star.

After Steph Curry approached the return, the Warriors only had to win one game to expand the series long enough so that the 37-year-old has the chance to play in game 6.

But Butler couldn't put the warriors on their backs. His achievements on Monday and Wednesday were criticized by two ESPN analysts on Thursday morning.

“They were not asked to win the war. They were asked to keep the damn line,” said Jay Williams about “Steig Up” on Thursday. “Right? For a game. One game. A game. Not two games. Not three games. Only one game. Give the sun in your solar system the chance to get up for game 6. This sun is Steph Curry. And what we came out last game, where he made nine shots, the fact that Jimmy Butler only made 11 shots, she needed it the most in this game.

“It is the biggest question that I have from this series. This is a guy who will receive $ 120 million in the next two years. 120 million US dollars. Now 11 shots I know that the game has gone away. But but [Udonis Haslem]You will swing. If you want to go out, you will swing without making two shots than the nine shots that you have made in the game for which you have not come out [two nights] before.”

While Stephen A. Smith believes that the warrior trade for Butler has met the expectations, he repeated Williams' feelings, albeit in a stronger way.

“When Butler arrived in Golden State for the first time, many of us didn't think much about it because we said: 'How does it really fit to see a man like Steph with a man like Klay [Thompson]? How does it work? How exactly does that work? 'And then they played the lights together and so we took up our hopes. But then it collapsed when Steph injured his knee tendon. And it is what it is.

“The following makes this look bad. Butler obviously made up out of Miami. We know that they didn't want to be No. 1 option. They wanted to play with someone who is a No. 1. They have nothing against being this” Robin “. Then they go to Golden State and they have great success.

“You see it is not as if Steph is how it is [Boston Celtics star Jayson] Tatum did it [with a ruptured Achilles] And at least for the next year it is over. It's not like that. Everyone had projected, it will take about a week. Steph Curry should be back for game 6. Everything you have to do, to be [Game] 3, 4 or 5, give me a game and he couldn't do it. Eleven shot attempts last night. Twenty attempts to shoot in the last two games. “

Butler's arrival jumped into the season of the Warriors and helped them secure No. 7. But his last impression was not good and he was open to sharp criticism.
