Draymond Green: Jimmy is gonna come to you before something even happens—like, “If this happens, we’re gonna do this.” And I’ll be honest with you, I get how people could get tired of Jimmy. If you’re not a basketball head—if you don’t love this game—and you over-communicate like Jimmy, dot every “i” and cross every “t,” losers will get frustrated with that. You know what I’m saying? If you don’t love, eat, and breathe this—and, more importantly, winning—you can get frustrated with that. I can see, in two or three weeks—whatever it’s been—how someone could get frustrated with Jimmy. Because most people aren’t winners.

Caught up with Scottie Barnes after he helped hold Kevin Durant to 15 points on 5/15 shooting in a Raptors win. Barnes said he sees himself as a playmaker on that end ‘like Draymond’ and believes he is “one of the best defenders in the league” — sportsnet.ca/nba/article/ra… – 8:48 AM

The Warriors were -90 in the non-Curry minutes prior to the Jimmy Butler trade. They are +30 in the six Butler games.
Curry: “Totally different than what it was before where you felt a little pressure to create separation (when on the floor).”

The Warriors remained hot with Jimmy Butler and then celebrated Andre Iguodala’s jersey retirement. Steph Curry: “This is about a player who changed the course of our entire franchise…You sacrificed ego for excellence, which for us is the Warriors way.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 9:45 PM

Warriors improve to 5-1 with Jimmy Butler, routing the Mavericks in Butler’s Chase Center debut. The Warriors have won four of those games in blowout fashion. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Steve Kerr and Warriors are rejuvenated with Jimmy and Chase Center sounded revitalized – 5:57 PM

This is the first three-game win streak for the Warriors since mid-November. They’re 5-1 with Jimmy Butler after a blowout of the Mavericks. Record bumped to 30-27. They’re a half-game out of the 8th spot, one out of 7th and two out of 6th (which is their stated target). – 5:55 PM

More on this storyline
Draymond Green: But for somebody with one foot in, one foot out—someone who doesn’t really love it, because let’s face it, that’s 70% of the league—they don’t really love it, don’t really care whether they win or lose. I can see how they could get shell-shocked and be afraid of that. In that moment, Jimmy was drawing up a play for us. With our team, there are a lot of denials, a lot of traps trying to take Steph out of the game. He was showing us a different way to run a set to get him in a certain position that would open things up. -via YouTube / February 24, 2025
How do you feel about that guarantee? You on that? Draymond Green: I believe we got the pieces to do it, and like I said, I know what that looks and feels like, you know what I’m saying? A lot of people are like, “Oh man, how is he going to say that? He ain’t done it.” What they say—”How you gonna talk about how to do it if you’ve never done it?” You got all these people out here talking about what I said and how I’m gonna do it, but I’ve done it before—over and over and over. And I know what it looks and feels like. I 100% wholeheartedly stand, all ten toes down, on everything I said. We’re winning that. -via YouTube / February 24, 2025
Draymond Green: The thing about me, BD, is I talk when we’re down 20. I don’t necessarily talk when we’re up 20—unless you’ve been barking, of course. Then, yeah, I talk when we’re up 20. But I like to talk when we’re down 20, you know what I’m saying? So when we’re the underdog, when we were 28-27, I said what I said. I didn’t say it when everybody else got the clear picture. I said that when we were 28-27, and I stand on it. I’m looking forward to letting that play out how it may, but I’m excited as hell about this team. -via YouTube / February 24, 2025
