The Golden State Warriors are back in the playoffs after defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 121-116 in the Play-In Tournament. The Warriors will now go on to face the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, and they have what they need to make the series interesting.

The Warriors increased their chances of competing for a title when they acquired Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, and he's looking to win his first championship. Butler knows what it takes to get there since he's done it twice, and he has a mindset that will help him give it his all.

“I love having a target on my back,” Butler said via The Athletic's Sam Amick. “I think I’ve had it the last couple of years over in the East, and (the Warriors) are gonna always have it, until 30 (Curry) and 23 (Green) are gone out this motherf–––––.”

With Butler, Curry, and Green all on the same page of trying to win a championship, it's going to be hard to stop them. They all know how to turn it up a notch during the playoffs, and if they end up clicking at the same time, opposing teams could be in trouble.

Jimmy Butler wants to do something special with Warriors

Though Butler has not won a championship, it seems like he's more invested in his teammates getting one more than him.

“Look, I’m not gonna say I’m not hungry, but I’m doing this for Steph,” Butler said. “I’m doing this for Dray. I’m doing this for these guys. As much as I want to win a championship, I want Dray to win another one. I want Steph to win another one. I know I ain’t got mine yet, but they deserve it. They’ve been putting this city and this organization on their back for a very long time, and I’m glad that I can be here to try and do something special.”

Curry and Green have won four championships together, and getting a fifth would be great for their legacy, especially with all the changes that they've dealt with over the past few years. Things weren't looking good for them earlier in the season, but everything changed when Butler arrived. In a loaded Western Conference, they were able to go on a run and climb up the standings. Now, they have the chance to compete for a championship, and it looks like they have the pieces to do so.
