The NBA regular season is a grind with 82 matchups, and it might not always be possible to post photos after every game, especially on nights when the team is playing back-to-back schedules.Jimmy Butler Had a Few Down GamesButler changed the dynamic of the Golden State Warriors after he joined them midseason in 2024-25. Golden State went 23-7 with Butler in the lineup and made the second round of the playoffs, where it unfortunately lost after Steph Curry went down with a hamstring injury.Butler led the charge in the Warriors’ season-opening win against the LA Lakers with 31 points. He scored 21 points in the second win against the Denver Nuggets. However, in the loss to the Trail Blazers, he attempted just seven shots on his way to 14 points.Curry had 35 points but found very little help from anyone else. If the Warriors are to truly contend for a title, Butler needs to step up offensively and carry the weight alongside the two-time MVP.While there has been no signs to ring the warning bell yet, a solid start to the season would put Golden State in good stead toward the business end of the season.
