Warriors go 2-0 in the Jimmy Butler era: ‘Every possession doesn’t feel so tough,’ says Curry | The athletic

Five minutes into his first game with the Golden State Warriors, Butler was so exhausted that he had Steve Kerr rings for a timeout. His teammates still laughed with him about it a few days later.

“You have to think, I haven’t played basketball in a month,” Butler said. “My wind is nowhere close to where it should be. I can’t wait until I’m back in basketball form where I’m used to being. I don’t want to miss out on free kick. I have lifted on my jump shots. Right now I’m just gassed. I’m glad we win. But I have to get in better shape. “

What we learned as Butler’s influence continues in Warriors’ victory | NBC Sports Bay Area

Down by 21 points less than three minutes into the third quarter Saturday in Chicago, the game completely changed in Warriors’ advantage when Kerr went small. Out and in came Moses Moody. Instead of waiting, the Kerr game started playing little ball against a bucks team Without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Moody started at 4 and Green was at 5, giving Golden State a lineup without a traditional center. This group played nine-plus minutes together and was a minus-2. Bucks outscored them 27-25.

That does not deny what opponents teams are looking at the post scouting report: Attack Rookie when he is in defense. Violations go straight to the post and with a lot of success. But there is a reason why Kerr continues to play him. His violation gives Warriors such an extra wrinkle.

Kevin Durant moves past trading speculation: ‘I’m not entitled to anything’ | The athletic

Durant said it has not helped to sit with the ankle injury since the deadline. Instead of discussing his performance, having the media and others, he claims, he has spent time forming certain tales of his happiness in Phoenix. Durant is under contract throughout the 2025-26 season and is due to an extension. He knows this story is not disappearing.

“I always had a goal of just playing my contract and seeing what’s happening,” Durant said. “I can’t focus on a year and a half and a half down on the line. I know it will be a topic. It is probably the most frustrating part of being in trade negotiations that the microscope will be solely on just me for the rest of the season. My body language. How I talk to (news reporters) after the game. How I look at the bench. These things will be enlarged that suck. “

Player characters: Warriors vs. Bucks

Quinten Post

15 minutes, 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 error, 4-for-5 shooting, 3-for-4 triangles, 2-for-2 free throw, 110.5% TS, +11

Post was moved out of the five starting, but it certainly didn’t affect how much he helped Warriors. He was excellent when he was on the field and had one of the biggest sequences in the game when he hit back-to-back triangles early in the fourth quarter to transform a two-point lead into an eight-point lead … and kick a 20-4 race. There is no fear in post drained all three of its triple in the central fourth quarter. He seems ready for any challenge given to him.
