Jason Timpf is back with another exciting episode of Hoops Tonight, taking a deep dive into the new-look Golden State Warriors led by recent trade acquisition Jimmy Butler, the former Miami Heat superstar. Jason starts off by explaining how the fresh-faced Dubs are utilizing superstar Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler’s complimentary offensive skills and wonders how this affects their short, but potentially impactful, NBA championship window. Jason salutes the Warriors front office for acquiring a second-fiddle to pair with Steph Curry, who is still playing at a championship level in the Association. After, Jason breaks down why the Milwaukee Bucks, led by former MVP and NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Damian Lillard, are looking competitive after trading for Kyle Kuzma from the Washington Wizards. Timpf dives into what Kuzma provides for the scrappy Milwaukee Bucks and how his commitment to playing winning basketball could be hugely impactful for the Bucks. Finally, Timpf GOES OFF on Joel Embiid’s lackluster effort as the Philadelphia 76ers continue to disappoint as a Larry O’Brien contender.
