Even the team core lacks basic fighting spirit, how can the Warriors maintain sufficient competitiveness?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-110. After this game, the Timberwolves locked the total score of this round of series to 4-1, reaching the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, while the Warriors were eliminated, ending the playoff journey this season.

In this game, the Warriors' starting small forward Jimmy Butler still performed at a terrible level. Butler played 41 minutes and 54 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value was also low to -17. Butler did not find his own touch on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency was not ideal, and he could not get more points. If it weren't for his own free throws, Butler's data would have become even more embarrassing. Butler's performance on the defensive end is also not ideal, and he is completely unable to limit his opponent's forward star Julius Randle. As the core figure of the team, his performance is indeed a little worse. He should have done better on both offense and defense. He should have assumed more responsibilities, but he has not done this at all.

Since joining the Warriors, Butler has played 30 games for the team in the regular season, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage is 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage is 27.9%, and free throw shooting percentage is 87%. In the playoffs, Butler played 11 games in these 12 games, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, averaging 19.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 30.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 80%.

Butler's performance during the playoffs was not particularly bad, but the problem is that his ability and level were there. With his status and strength, he could only play such data in the absence of Stephen Curry, which was indeed a bit too dismal, and he did not perform at all at the level he deserved. If the Warriors want to maintain sufficient competitiveness while Curry is absent, Butler needs to score 30+ points, play a more important role on the court, and shoulder the responsibilities of the leader. However, from the actual situation, Butler's performance in these games can be said to be quite lukewarm and lacks enough fighting spirit. Butler's performance is so mediocre, how could the team make a breakthrough in record facing strong opponents?
