After beating the Trail Blazers, Butler was helpless! The rebounds and defense were full, and the offense really couldn t beat the high forwards!

At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors 127-123. This game actually relied on the performance of Curry and Podger, and the help provided by other players was still too little. However, fans had great doubts about Butler in this game. Indeed, his performance on the offensive end was too bad. He played 34 minutes, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 5 of 15 shots and 10 of 11 free throws.

Of course Butler is helpless, because his contributions in other aspects are still good. Especially on the offensive end, he can maintain excellent rebounding ability. In the last quarter alone, Butler grabbed multiple offensive rebounds, and he sent 6 of them by himself. Such enthusiasm and performance are already full.

At the same time, Butler's defense is still basic. He can give strong restrictions when facing opponents' attacks. This is a routine operation for him.

Unfortunately, Butler's performance on the offensive end was terrible. On the one hand, this is because rebounding and defense consume a lot of money, and on the other hand, it is still difficult for him to perform when facing forwards taller than himself on the offensive end. Therefore, during singles, Butler's shooting rate will definitely drop sharply. This kind of shooting rate has often appeared in past games, and this has always been his shortcoming.

But Butler's current performance is indeed difficult to match his annual salary. On the offensive end, his performance is basically average in every game. It is impossible to achieve a big explosion, nor is it possible to be very low. However, his defensive and rebounding contributions are quite satisfactory. He can only serve as a stabilizing point in the transition period to help the team stabilize the point difference. If he is allowed to become the absolute core and lead the team like Curry, this is definitely something he cannot possess.
