Series Thread: 2nd Round: 6) Minnesota Twolves vs 7) Golden State Warriors

The only realistic path for them to win the series is for the Ws to find a way to win one at home and be down 3-2 when Steph gets back game 6 (if he even does) then hope you win the last 2. Won’t be easy.

This is why you acquired Jimmy Butler

They were surely counting on having Curry to play with Butler too. Will be a tall order to pull this off.

It seems Butler benefitted a great deal from playing with Steph (obviously). He’s not going to be as good without Steph as the first option drawing the defense

The injury's clearly bothering him. Dude was limping at the end of Game 1.

I have no doubt a healthy Jimmy can go off for 30+, but that alone won't win you games without a 2nd scorer.

This team needs both Jimmy and Steph to be effective. Look at them in the regular season before Jimmy came, they were an 11th seed on pace to miss the playoffs. Right now, they're even worse than that regular season team. They're not only missing Steph, but they're also missing Wiggs.

Butler is much better than Wiggins though so that’s not the issue

You're not following me, lol. Steph is better than Jimmy. Even with Wiggs and Steph, they were on pace to miss the playoffs. They're now without both, and it's just Jimmy playing. A 60 percent Jimmy at that.

As bad as I feel that I think this series is over for the warriors if Steph curry misses any more amount of time. But I will be happy to see the wolves advance.i don’t think they have been this good since the Garnett days
