The Golden State Warriors had a dominant win against the New Orleans Pelicans, and Jimmy Butler adorned the role of the coach during the game.

The vibes around the Golden State Warriors are immaculate right now, with the veteran roster finding a healthy balance with exciting youngsters.

Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski lent Steph Curry a hand this time as the Warriors dominated the Pelicans in a 51-point win.

However, the moment of the game was when Jimmy Butler took over as coach, and he had just one instruction for his players.

Warriors fans on “coach Jimmy Butler”

The likes of Steph Curry and Draymond Green are almost having another prime right now as the rookies have brought them right back to contention.

The same is true for Jimmy Butler, who wouldn’t have expected to return to a winning team this season, let alone a contender.

That mood was clear to see during the Warriors’ win against the Pelicans, as Steve Kerr “consulted” with Jimmy Butler during a timeout, who was wearing full coaching attire.

He was having fun with it, soon “drawing up a play” that simply read “Pass to Steph”, prompting Warriors fans to react hilariously.

“Vibes are immaculate. This is the year they let Iggy [Andre Iguodala] coach too,” said one, as a second said, “Holding that board like he’s the real one,” with three laughing emojis.

A third said, “Looks like it is going to be early time off for Steph today, as it should,” as another said, “Top 1 team chemistry”.

Warriors fans also trolled Steve Kerr after Butler “leaked” Kerr’s playbook of “Pass to Steph”.

“Steve Kerr’s $35m playbook just got leaked on national television and Jimmy just boiled down 15 years of NBA wisdom,” said one fan, as another said, “Coach Jimmy got one play in the book and it’s the right one.”

A third joked, “That’s all Kerr has had to draw for the last ten years and it has worked out perfectly,” as another wrote, “’22 team chemistry vibes,” thinking back to the surprise winners in 2022.

No return date for Butler is set yet, but he’s contributing to the team atmosphere in different ways to keep a good thing going.
