Without Stephen Curry, who has missed the last two games of the Western Conference semifinals with a hamstring strain, the Golden State Warriors have been struggling.

There was a line of thinking that Jimmy Butler didn't put his foot on the gas in Golden State's Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves because he was saving up his energy for Game 3 at home, when the Warriors were likely to have their best shot to steal the one win they need in this series to stay afloat until Stephen Curry can potentially get back.

With Stephen Curry out, it's not enough for Jimmy Butler to be the team's Batman. He'll need to dust off his Superman cape.
