Butler, insinuations really work! Cole stopped protecting his calf and angrily criticized Podger for his defense + DNP!

When the Warriors lost three games in a row, Butler burst out after the game: "It's still the same problem, we didn't defend at all!" Old Bobby Curry has a more direct personality and his words were harsh enough. Many people speculated which player he was blaming. In fact, Butler was talking about Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

On November 25, the Warriors defeated the Jazz 134-117 at home, ending their three-game losing streak. In this game, a picture appeared: In the first quarter of the game, Podemski frequently missed people on the outside. During the timeout, he was scolded by Cole, and then was benched. In the second quarter, he was directly DNP.

In addition, what was even more "humiliating" for Podemski was that during the garbage time in the second half of the fourth quarter, he did not enjoy the treatment of a main player, and Cole continued to stay on the court with fringe players to finish the game.

In the whole game, Podemski made 1 of 4, scoring 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals!

Before this, Podemski had always been Cole's darling. No matter how bad he played or how bad his defense was, he could always get an average of 25-30 minutes of playing time per game. However, Moody and Kuminga had their playing time deducted by Cole if they were not careful.

Today, there seems to be a causal relationship between Cole's abnormal behavior and Butler's blunt remarks after the game.

Butler, he comes from the Heat system. He and Coach Spoelstra have the same consensus on winning: defense is the fundamentals. As long as the defense is focused, even a mediocre lineup can make it all the way to the finals.

As for Cole, he prefers spectator offense. To put it bluntly, he hopes that his players have shooting ability. The strengths of his shooting ability also cover up his defensive weaknesses.

Under this guidance, wouldn't those players who are eager to play just stare at the basketball, and who will defend?

A tough guy like Butler must be more straightforward in his speech from now on, otherwise Cole will not know what to do!
