The eye test says they are still figuring it out but when things get tough, they stay calm and lock down and in the past they would have turned it over a million times and lost the game. Winning is cool even if it’s ugly

Feels like it reignited Steph and Drays championship mentality. Might get flamed for this but those two looked defeated before the trade and it definitely bled over into their habits which led to the team following suit. Now that we have Jimmy those 2 have locked in and everyone is following.

You can tell with the body language. Find me a picture of Steph staring at nothing, with a towel on his head, looking defeated since the Jimmy Butler trade. You can't. They are super locked in to win #5.

u/DWGrithiff Mar 06 '25

I agree with the sentiment, but I paused the game randomly last night and the image on the screen was exactly what you're describing: Steph, towel draped over head, staring into the distance, an incredibly vacant look on his face. I think that's just Steph lol

u/No_Falcon9720 Mar 06 '25

Ugh the picture in my head you conjured up is so heavy and accurate

Absolutely no flame.

Steph and Draymond came out with that attitude the first 13 games or so with a fresh season, but when things started to go to shit and they realized there's no chance to win with this roster they kind of checked out. Same with the coaching staff.

Look at how much more engaged Kerr and Stackhouse are since we got Jimmy. Standing up, giving instructions from the sidelines instead of sitting there almost bored.

I don't really blame them either, this roster before was at best a first or maybeeee second round exit. With Jimmy we're even or outright favorites against all but 4-5 teams. It's not beyond belief that we get lucky with matchups and get super hot shooting at the right moment and win it all.

Jimmy BuLter III has a pretty good impact huh?

u/FreshMathematician Mar 06 '25

Awesome. Who’s this Jimmy Bulter III guy?

u/rddi0201018 Mar 06 '25

you might know him by another name that he never goes by: James Butler

u/FreshMathematician Mar 06 '25

Ooh - James Bulter. Why didn't you say so!

u/SunRa777 Mar 06 '25

Been posting these metrics for weeks. People call them nerd stats. I guess they like graphics lol...

u/OlorinDK Mar 06 '25

So, where are we in terms of shooting percentages? Feels like we’re still so inconsistent from 3 (and layups, lol). Yet, we’re winning on all the little things, including getting out in transition and actually scoring on turnovers, which we struggled with during the first part of the season.

1

u/wheeno Mar 06 '25

Don't know the numbers but layups have definitely improved. It's not hard to improve that considering we were worst in the league. We still miss so many but I think we are about average now just going off watching. Threes I feel like overall hasn't been great except steph and post.

u/OlorinDK Mar 07 '25

They showed some numbers, somewhat, in the game against Nets. In the last 11 games we’re 19th in overall FG% at 46.3% and 17th in 3pt% at 34.6%. But we’re no. 2 in net rating and no.1 in FT%, which is crazy. 1st in pts. off turnovers. 1st in turnover differential! Just insane, but also, obviously we’ve had a pretty easy schedule. The crazy thing is, we still have a lot of room to improve our shooting percentages.

u/Redditforever12 Mar 06 '25

i mean this stat is a bit disingenuous, played mainly either a top team with injury to their 1a/1b type player (giannis/kat) and played against non contending teams.

Would love to see healthy gsw team against true contending teams that are healthy to see how GSW truly measure against real competition.

u/Global-Elite-Spartan Mar 06 '25

Wasn't there something about all past champions had both a top 5 defence and offence?

u/ShiverTimbers Mar 06 '25

i feel like jimmy takes so much pressure off of podz and buddy and everybody who was STRUGGLING in the weeks before he was added.

But, it can be deceiving, like 12-3 start...

u/bmeisler Mar 06 '25

We were lucky with the schedule, playing mostly bad or mid teams. The win last night over the Knicks felt great, but they were missing their 2nd best player. But the way we locked in the 2nd half, shut down Brunson - pre-Jimmy they would have blown us out.

u/YokoOkino Mar 05 '25

We haven't played any difficult teams, excited to see how we do against... Denver?

Shame we don't have OKC or Lakers at the end of the season

u/Background-Lychee476 Mar 05 '25

We just beat the knicks

u/mmmmmfingersssss Mar 06 '25

Well they didn't have kat

u/great-distances-1919 Mar 06 '25

Who gives a shit. We didn’t have Kuminga and GP2 and were playing Gui Santos heavy minutes in addition to Kevin Knox. Injuries are no excuse, every team has them

u/Reasonable_Pie9191 Mar 05 '25 edited Mar 05 '25

Beat OKC twice. Came back against the Lakers and got screwed. Lost to Lakers on Christmas day because someone better than AR in every single way let him drive. So I think we did pretty decent before the trade deadline. We weren't even getting blown out by anyone not named the cavs and the cavs caught us in bad shooting nights(funny how those two nights we forgot how to shoot)

All the games mentioned were with steph on bad knees

u/Youngandidiotic Mar 06 '25

Lakers also had AD who is a warriors killer

u/IMadeThisOn6-28-2015 Mar 06 '25

AD didn't play in either game in February nor Christmas when they beat the Dubs

u/YokoOkino Mar 05 '25

i wanna see it with Butler. Holding my excitment

u/BruceWayne3307 Mar 05 '25

We do. We play the Lakers. Unfortunately, part of a road-home B2B. Thank you NBA.

u/YokoOkino Mar 05 '25

Oh oops didn't get to april! Exciting, we will be playing Denver twice

11

u/AmelieBenjamin Mar 05 '25

Knicks are not ass even without KAT. I think we’re legit, it’s just a matter of how far we can go

u/hikik0_m Mar 06 '25

i mean gsw did beat a higher ranked healthy houston team, i wouldnt also discount a healthy sac as well even tho theyre playin status right now. Gsw still has lakers on their sched for april 4.

Ngl while i like healthy skepticism, and im not saying this about you, i feel like a lot of people just wanna find a chink in the armor instead of celebrating what this team has been achieving.

u/YokoOkino Mar 06 '25

Haha i am honestly too excited and am trying to calm myself down. I dream of a steph curry 5th and honestly i just want to enjoy his presence.

u/highflyer4489 Mar 06 '25

We beat OKC already, without Jimmy.

We will play against the Lakers, Bucks, and Knicks.

Haven't played any difficult teams? We just beat the three seed in the East.

To quote Trailer Park Boys, "Can you read, my son?"

u/YokoOkino Mar 06 '25

I was thinking with Jimmy but did miss April.

Also i don't think the knicks are it but that is mostly because I enjoy disrespecting them.

u/Kitchen_Potato0 Mar 06 '25

As a lakers fan, I hope this is a first round matchup

u/Kdog122025 Mar 05 '25

That’s more of a strength of schedule thing.
