Steve Kerr isn’t worried, but Jimmy Butler must fix troubling numbers to help Warriors win games

Jimmy Butler has faced a wave of criticism following the Golden State Warriors’ recent struggles.

The primary complaint is his failure to step up as a consistent secondary scorer behind Stephen Curry when the Golden State Warriors need it most.

Over the last four games, during which the Warriors managed only one win, Jimmy Butler failed to crack the 20-point mark in any contest.

More concerning is its plummeting efficiency, because in two of those games, he shot below 30% from the field, a sharp decline from his impressive season average of 51.0%.

Steve Kerr chose not to panic for Jimmy Butler’s shooting struggle

This inconsistency is alarming, particularly because his efficiency on drives has dipped noticeably over the last ten games

However, head coach Steve Kerr is refusing to hit the panic button, expressing full confidence that Butler will return to form.

“Jimmy always just plays the game. Whatever is the right play to make, that’s the one he makes. So, I don’t ever worry about Jimmy,” Kerr said.

“I don’t ever tell him… ‘you got to shoot on this play or that play.’ “I trust that he’s going to make the right play.”
