Steve Kerr Reveals Surprising Concern About Jimmy Butler That Could Change Warriors’ Future

So here we are, watching the Golden State Warriors stumble through a season that, frankly, looks nothing like the powerhouse run they pulled off late last year. Remember those Dubs who surged to a 23-8 finish—jazzed up, perfectly in sync, riding high on the energy after scooping up Jimmy Butler? Yeah, those Warriors seem to be playing a different tune now. Disjointed defense, chaotic offense, and a nagging inability to string wins together have plagued them, even when Steph Curry lights up the scoreboard with a jaw-dropping 48 points. Makes you wonder—what’s really holding them back? Steve Kerr pins much of it on their failure to get Butler cooking rhythmically on the floor. Without feeding their star the ball consistently, Golden State’s offense feels like a ship without a rudder, especially when Steph’s sidelined. And that’s a recipe for letting speedy teams like Portland turn the game into a frenetic sprint right out of the Warriors’ comfort zone. It’s ironic, isn’t it? Their best shot at steady success rests on establishing a clear identity—and yet, nine different starting lineups in as many games suggest they’re searching for that groove in all the wrong places. Can they find the right formula before the season slips away? Only time (and some serious adjustments) will tell. LEARN MORE.
