FIRST TAKE | Warriors are DONE! – Stephen A. Smith DESTROY Playoff Jimmy after Game 4 loss to Wolves



FIRST TAKE | Warriors are DONE! – Stephen A. Smith DESTROY Playoff Jimmy after Game 4 loss to Wolves

The Warriors lost Monday’s game for 117 110 to the Timberwes down 3-1 in the Western Conference semis. The Warriors now must win in Minneapolis game 5 to keep their season alive and all likelihood will have to do so without Step Curry. Meanwhile, the dubs need more from playoff Jimmy and Step’s absence. All right, Jimmy Butler attempted just nine field goals in 34 minutes in game 4. That was his fewest field goal attempts in a playoff game in which he played 20 plus minutes since 2020. All right, did you expect more from Butler, especially with Step out? That’s why they brought him in. Hell yeah. I mean, I’ve been front row and center to see play off Jimmy Butler and I know what he’s capable of. But what I do know about Jimmy, he’s a very calculated offensive player. He prays on guys making mistakes. If you have a weakness, he’s going to find it. And I think what Minnesota did was they just didn’t show any weaknesses. They guarded him with length. They stayed on the floor. They didn’t go for any pump fakes, any shot face. They didn’t put him to the free throw line and they made other guys get involved. So, you know, with Jimmy, he’s going to watch F. He’s going to figure out the weaknesses, he’s going to mistakes, he’s going to figure out how manipulate the game. I think he will be better the next game. But Jimmy Butler is a very, very calculated offensive player. Probably one of the most smartest offensive players that I’ve played against. So, they didn’t make mistakes. Shout out and kudos to Minnesota for just being solid defensively and not giving Jimmy anything easy. Oh, do you mind? You go ahead. Um, no. Go ahead. I I I don’t even know what to say about this one. This is crazy. I mean, this is why Jimmy Butler was brought to Golden State, right? For moments like this. And what do we see last game? We saw Jimmy Butler. The pace was incredible. Even though they gave it away, UD and Perp, my man took 23 shots. He was hunting his shots. There was nothing that was calculated about the way he was playing. He had to let loose. He had to be aggressive cuz that gave his team the best opportunity to win. Nine shots in 34 minutes to me feels like you aren’t the aggressive Jimmy Butler. It feels like you are not even really on the court. Now I look I know I’ve never been in playoff games to this magnitude. You guys have, but I can tell you from somebody who is competitively in ass. That’s that’s how I am. KP ain’t no way in hell. I’m taking nine shots in a game where my team is without R player. Everybody is looking at me to be the guy. Is a good talent but he is young. Everybody is looking at me to be the old veteran guy who has carried teams to further places in the Eastern Conference like the Miami Heat. To me, this is a sign of somebody I get worried about. Where are you? What is happening in this game where I need you to be him? You You and I talk always about if there are Tat if there are pictures or commercials of Jason Tatam being Superman. Jimmy Butler’s Batman. He’s supposed to be in the trenches. He’s supposed to be one with all the gadgets doing all the dirty stuff to get into your head. And by the way, when there’s another man that’s on the court that is punishing people through traffic, saying screaming, flexing on people, when there’s another man after making a three, after he’s yanking Gary Ping a second from side to side, making a three in Draymond Green face and then saying, “You can’t blink with me.” Yo, what is happening? Now, I know people can say we might be tired. We might be a little bit, you know, they’re ailments, injuries, sick, whatever may be. I don’t I don’t need to hear any of that. That this is a game which is molded perfectly for Jimmy Butler to show up and for nine shots. That’s not a sign of somebody showing up when the team needs to be aggressive offensively. It’s not KP. Come on. I tell you what I tell you what happened to Jimmy. You Jimmy when Jimmy Buckets earned that playoff Jimmy name with the heat. He was 33 years old, 32 years old. He’s 36 I believe it is right now. And what’s happening is we’re watching these what you call these young thunder cats. That’s what we watching. Get on get on asses like back pockets. And I’m talking about Apple bottoms. You remember bottoms? You know what I’m saying? those back pockets. Damn it. Listen to what I’m trying to tell you. These bulls around the league, they sending all these old heads home packing and start when Anthony what’s happening to Jimmy Buckers is is that he’s getting older but he’s facing some damn dogs. J McDaniels, right? Anthony Ill you got Big Rudy down there anch in the defense. You got Re coming in off the bitch. You got Julius Rand who is playing the best basketball of his career this postseason. That’s what’s happening, right? And Jimmy, listen, Jimmy has never been the most athletic guy, right? So, he’s never been a guy to get real great li uh lift on this shot. All of a sudden, you take Step Curry out of the game, right? He’s out of the game. Guess who’s the primary defender on Jimmy Butler now? It’s J McDaniels, 69. long arms. The man scratch his ankle standing straight up causing problems. Never get tired picking up 94et he doesn’t have the same lif and that’s no knock on Jimmy. He was bought there to give this organization life to be the Robin to Step Curry, right? Step Curry allow him to be the badman. Step Curry is not there. And let me say another thing. We’ve been giving Steve Curry a lot of flowers lately and rightfully so. Right. He’s been maximized players. They made a hell of a run the last part of the season. He won a gold medal. Believe one of the best coaches to ever coach the game of basketball. 30 seconds. But somebody need to but somebody need to address him. What he did to Jonathaning to start this post season? If I’m Jonathan, I’m on the first thing smoking up out of Golden State. Have you been seeing Jonathaning lately? Believe he had 23 points last game, 30. The game the game before that 18 before that the man is balling. But again this is Steve Kur not willing to allow young players to be great especially guys who have the potential to be allstar caliber players but this is no knock on Jimmy. He just ran into a bunch of dogs on the Minnesota Timber Wols. Min 30. Yeah, we got to leave it there. Hey Big Perk. Uh great job. Thanks for being with us this morning. I know it was a early morning for you. We appreciate you. Came in hot, but I’m told you got a roll, so we will talk to you soon. Coming up on first take, is Jayen Brunson already a Nick legend? And is this series ending in Boston? We answer these questions after the break. I am paging Brian Winhorse. What should the Mavs do with the top pick? Draft Cooper Flag or trade for a major piece?

FIRST TAKE | Warriors are DONE! – Stephen A. Smith DESTROYs Playoff Jimmy after Game 4 loss to Ant-Man & Timberwolves

  1. If Curry does not play his best in game 5, then the season for the Warriors is over!!!! Game 5 is 11:59pm!!! It’s pretty much over, and Curry is not excepted to return until game 6. But if Curry does not play in game 5 anyways and play really well, it’s over!!!

  2. My only advice to Kerr and the Team Management don't let Curry play in Game 5 don't Rush his Recovery just let it go the damage is already done just rebuild next season the future is still bright for them.

  3. Warriors are losing for 3 Reasons..
    #1 Curry's fluke injury… wolves were done in 6 book it if he didn't get hurt.
    #2 Steve Kerr… There is no Curry why don't you play the guy that has been benched 2 months 45 minutes johnathon kaminga… He is the freshest most athletic warrior. What do you have to lose. I mean you are still refusing to start him. Against a team like the Wolves they are capable to crowd and disrtact jimmy with bigs around him with extra focus with aunt and there long wings..
    JK might miss so shots and make some mistakes but with his youth and athletic ability he is capable of 35-40 points on 50% shooting.That could open the game for the rest of the warriors.
    #3 Defense and hope the wolves have a down game..
    #4 Turnovers and double Aunt…

  4. Im pulling for Ant and the Timberwolves but Jimmy is hurt borderline injured. What do people expect from him

  5. Those saying Bulter is playing injured. What do you think Ant is doing lol. He literally rolled his ankle bad twice. Less than a month. So many excuses

  6. As a MN fan, Jimmy did force way out but that was the kids didn’t have a killer instinct. This wolves team IS different. I think jimmy would love to play with these wolves!
