Jimmy Butler Highlights the Need to Improve His Game

While talking to Anthony Slater on Saturday, Jimmy Butler expressed the need to tweak one aspect of his game. Butler revealed that he does not fancy turnovers and stressed the facet of protecting the ball by stating, it "is what I'm supposed to be doing." 

He hailed the attribute if the game as "tough" but also made it known that he cannot do away with the defensive act, especially during the dying minutes of the game.

“That’s tough. I gotta be better. Damn sure late game, at that,” Butler said.

During Wednesday’s loss against the Dallas Mavericks, Butler turned the ball over three times. That number could have been worse, but Butler isn't convinced with his performance and highlights the need to improve in one aspect for his new team. 

The Warriors' fans are content with Butler's determination to make the Franchise's organisation better.

Butler wasn't playing hard and was obviously checked out of that squad, but that isn't the case with the Warriors.

He must be playing at a high level for Golden State, and everyone else must follow suit.

With an even 27-27 record, the Warriors are presently ranked 10th in the Western Conference.

After Thursday night's game against the Houston Rockets, they will have a week off due to the All-Star Game, which will take place in San Francisco.
