Without Curry, Warriors, 1:4 eliminated! Butler dragged his feet, Green is old, Cole is too incompetent

The Warriors still haven't survived G5, so they didn't wait for Curry, who had originally planned to return to G6, to be eliminated by the Timberwolves with a big score of 1:4 this season and was eliminated early.
Curry's importance to the Warriors is self-evident. Although he is now a 37-year-old veteran and the Warriors have been playing stumblingly this season, you will find that the Warriors without Curry are even more vulnerable. The series against the Timberwolves is the most telling thing. The first game was Curry, and although he only played 13 minutes of poop injury, the Warriors won the game. However, in the last four games, the Warriors instantly became like a different team. From a strong team without fear of the Timberwolves to a powerless genius, they lost four games in a row and were beaten to a blue face by their opponents. The reason why the Warriors were able to support the playoffs again this season and play to the second round is actually because they introduced Butler, a tough guy who relied on his physical talent to play and was good at breaking through.
However, when Butler was no longer surrounded by the famous NBA outside pitcher Curry, his breakthrough power was also resolved by the Timberwolves' layers of defense. In addition, Butler is not as good as his age, and his strength is not as fast as before, so he still wants to rely on his breakthrough to tear open the Timberwolves' defensive formation and change the game situation is no longer realistic. Therefore, Butler played very tired and inefficient in the games Curry missed.
Take G5 as an example. Butler, who was his biggest weakness, made only 4 shots in 11 shots, including 0 of 3 three-pointers. The plus or negative value is as low as -17, the lowest in the team. It would be not too much to say that he has dragged the Warriors down, right? Because Curry does not place the pitcher outside the three-point line to attract the Timberwolves' defensive attention and helps open up the offensive space, no matter how hard Butler is, it is impossible for him to score two or three defensive players to wear on his body every time.
The other tough guy in the Warriors who everyone remembers is also old and useless. Just look at his slightly gray beard and you will know that now he is only stubborn. In G5, he has the same number of shots and hits as Butler, and he has no way to carry the Warriors forward.
Another main person responsible for the Warriors being abused by the Timberwolves is head coach Cole. When Curry couldn't play, everyone realized how incompetent he was.
The Warriors actually have some people who can play, such as Kumingga, and Podjemsky and Moody. Why are they not used more or less in the games Curry missed? This is the coach's problem. You can't do anything without Curry.
I always believe that an excellent head coach must not only have a rich tactical system, but also have plans and multiple lineups. What's going on? Without Curry, will everyone stop eating?
