I am reminded of all the confident statements that the Dubs’ architects made after the Jimmy Butler inclusion. Draymond Green, the leader of the team, even went on to say, “With Jimmy, we’re going to win the championship.” Well, to be honest, the Warriors did exude a winning mentality in their last few games. Cooking up from that, the Dubs orchestrated a surgical strike on the Sacramento Kings tonight, exposing unrest in the Sac Town locker room. Most importantly, Jimmy Buckets didn’t just work that out on the floor alone!

The Warriors were on full throttle right from the get-go. The veterans took the backseat and let the rising stars do their duty. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody started the game and led the team to a crushing victory with their 43-point effort. Meanwhile, Big Face Jimmy had an unfamiliar duty too.

Apart from running the play and attracting the defenders, Jimmy Butler put on the coach’s hat tonight. Amid the Dubs’ intense crackdown in the first half, the star forward picked up the coach’s whiteboard and was seen explaining a play to Draymond Green and Podziemski.

This seemed to have worked out very well for Podz, as he turned into the team’s primary offensive option, taking the most number of shots. Apart from an early resistance from DeMar DeRozan & mCo., the Dubs cruised through the game.

And ultimately, it paved the way for a happy bench. The emotions were running high as the points began to drop. At one point, Stephen Curry, who barely engages in trash-talking unless it’s postseason, lashed out at Keegan Murray in the middle of the game. It proves one thing: emotions run high in the Dubs fold. Meanwhile, there’s a stark contrast on the other end. The Sac Town fans have something to worry about!

Jimmy Butler & Co. exposed the Kings’ growing concern

Without a doubt, it’s a tough time to be a Kings fan. Over the last 8 seasons, De’Aaron Fox slowly emerged as the face of the Kings fold. The team even gave up on Tyrese Haliburton to build the team around him. This season, they brought in DeMar DeRozan and paired him alongside Domantas Sabonis and Fox, increasing the championship probability.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned and the team ended up trading out Fox and has a completely new team with Zach LaVine’s inclusion. So, both the team and fans have a lot to figure out and the championship aspiration is a distant dream, unlike the Dubs. And tonight, the Dubs’ firepower exposed the team’s growing unrest.

DeRozan, who remained the only player to show resistance tonight with a game-high 34 points, wasn’t happy with things. And the situation triggered an unexpected reaction from him. NBC reporter Tristi Rodriguez, describing the forward as “one of the most composed guys in the NBA”, said that he expressed his frustration by throwing a water bottle. It’s indeed an unfortunate sight. 

Is the star not happy with how the front office has operated this season? Trading out Fox and firing coach mid-season. How does it reflect on the Kings’ future? Let us know in the comments below.
