Winning consecutive games against the Los Angeles duo, +4 wins and 1 loss! The 36-year-old Warriors, a 120 million giant, are so fierce: Curry is the perfect match for the championship

On October 29, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 98-79 at home, ranking third in the Western Conference with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the new season. Jimmy Butler continued his solid performance. He made 9 of 12 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. He made only 1 turnover and had a plus-minus of +20.

After this battle, Butler's career score exceeded the 16,000 mark, reaching 16,005. By the way, he surpassed Stoudemire and rose to 128th in history, ranking 23rd in active service.

Butler's offense is very efficient this season. He scored 20+ points 4 times in 5 games. The Warriors won all the games. The only game where he did not score 20+ points was the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers.

Butler averaged 21.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 55/57/88%. One of Butler's big improvements is that his three-pointers are more accurate. Three-pointers were once Butler's shortcoming, but this season he made a total of 8 of 14 three-pointers.

Let’s take a look at Butler’s specific game performance this season. On October 22, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 119-109. Butler scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. On October 24, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 137-131 in overtime. Butler scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, including his key three-pointer to help the Warriors kill the game. On October 25, the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers 119-139 in back-to-back games. Butler scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

On October 28, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 131-118. Butler made 6 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. On October 29, the Warriors played back-to-back games against the Clippers. Butler had another efficient performance, contributing 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Butler does not occupy much of the ball in the Warriors' formation. He has enriched the Warriors' offensive routines. His post-up and mid-range shots are extremely efficient and are a killer move for the Warriors.

His presence has also greatly reduced Curry's pressure. The 37-year-old Curry no longer has the dominance he had a few years ago. The addition of the tough and steady Butler allows the Warriors to allow Curry to not feel so good in some games, but the team can still win the game because Butler can stand up.

The Warriors have paid a lot for Butler. After acquiring Butler last season, they extended his maximum salary contract with him for two years and US$120 million in advance. This price is very high among veterans over 35 years old. Even Durant's contract extension this summer took a salary cut, while Butler still gets the maximum salary.

However, Butler repaid the Warriors' trust with a solid performance. He helped the Warriors reach the playoffs last season and reach the second round. If Curry hadn't been injured in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals and missed the rest of the game, the Warriors would have had a chance to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

This season, the Warriors' lineup is regarded by the outside world as an "old people's gang" and a "nursing home." However, they have successively defeated the Lakers, Nuggets and Clippers in the new season, three championship teams, proving that their strength cannot be underestimated and that age is not a problem. Curry, Butler, Dream Chaser and Horford all have well-maintained bodies.

Curry will launch an attack on the fifth championship trophy in his career, and Butler is his perfect match for the championship.
