Cole completely betrayed! The Warriors tactical reversal was actually caused by one person s deity, and the Curry era ended?
The Warriors were synonymous with "no ball running". The Shuishui Brothers' running around the pile, Green's arc top deal, and all-member passes and cuts made the opponent desperate. But in 2025, Cole said: "There is no need to run so many balls without a ball now, this is a luxury!" He directly slapped his past tactical philosophy. Core reason? The opponent's defense has evolved - the unball system of the Thunder in 2016 and the Rockets used infinite exchanges to strangle the Warriors in 2017, forcing Cole to remain unchanged. What's more important is that the Warriors now have Jimmy Butler, the "single-hard king", and Kerr said bluntly: "Super the ball to him can solve the problem, and there is no need to design seven or eight covers for Curry!"

Kor's transformation is a "rebellion": in the past, the Warriors rely on Curry to create space without the ball, but now they directly let Butler hold the ball and fight alone. Cole's original words were: "When the game was deadlocked, Jimmy was the same as James, Doncic and Jokic, and he was the top terminator." This is equivalent to admitting that the Warriors were relegated from "team pass and cut" to "star singles". What's even more heartbreaking is that Cole mentioned that "Curry is old and can't run anymore" - the fans in the comment area hit the nail on the head: "Curry saves energy and attacks the truth!"

Butler's role in the Warriors was completely subverted: in the past he was a tough guy, but now he has become the Warriors' "last attack safe". Cole even raised his status to be tied with Jokic and Antetokounmpo, while Curry went from tactical core to "a supporting role that opened up space." Interestingly, Butler played for 42 minutes in G1, but Cole said that "his playing time depends on his physical feeling." Obviously, he relies on him and is afraid that he will be injured. This ambivalent mentality is a microcosm of the Warriors' tactical swing.
Kor's tactical controversy has been going on for a day or two! In 2021, famous coaches complained that "Curry ran too much without the ball" and in 2023, Curry himself criticized "the team's offense was too dependent on pick-and-roll and lacked diversity." Now that Kerr has completely overturned himself, it proves that the pass-through system has expired under the aging of superstars and targeted defense of opponents. What's even more ironic is that the Warriors were often called "Keal only knows how to use Curry" when losing, but now they have become "Keal only knows how to use Butler", which is essentially the late stage of "superstar dependence".

The Warriors can really go far by playing solos? Singles tactics seem simple and efficient, but in fact they have huge hidden dangers:
1. Butler's physical strength: After all, he is 34 years old. Can he continue to carry under high intensity consumption in the playoffs? 2. Curry is marginalized: If Curry becomes a fixed-point shooter, who will share the burden when his opponent doubles over Butler? 3. Team morale: If players such as Wiggins and Kumingga cannot touch the ball for a long time, their defensive enthusiasm will be affected. Cole said "this is a luxury", but in fact it may be "there is no way" - after all, the transmission cannot be played, so he can only bet on the stars to solve the problem. Polarization in the comment section: Supporting party: "It should have been a long time since Butler played singles! If Curry can't run, don't hold on!" Nostalgic party: "Passing and cutting is the soul of the Warriors. What's the difference between playing superstars now and the Lakers?"
The Warriors' "single-one experiment" will be successful? Cole's transformation this time is like a big bet: short-term: Butler's singles can indeed break the playoff deadlock, and the Warriors' 2-1 lead over the Rockets is proof of this. Long-term: If Butler is injured or declining in form, the Warriors lack Plan B, which may repeat the mistake of "Curry's exhausted teammates and cheating" in 2023.
The most likely ending: The Warriors rely on Butler to steal a round or two of the series, but the championship needs more variables - such as Kumingga suddenly enlightened, or the management will catch another big fish in the summer. As for the transmission and cutting system? It will eventually become a memory, just like Curry's time.
Summary: Cole's "true fragrance law" has gone from "transmitting the godfather" to "single believers", Cole's transformation is full of helplessness and irony. But this is competitive sports - winners take all, losers are ridiculed. The only thing that is certain is that the Warriors' ball will never return to the smooth 2016.
