Before getting into the main topic, first look at the NBA's latest announced team combat strength list.
Among them, the Heat led the way, the Jazz followed, the Warriors third, the Nets sixth, the Lakers ninth, and the Bucks tenth.

The schedule during this time is actually not particularly hard. The Lakers who have not yet run into the finish, the Clippers without the main player, the Kings and the Grizzlies can only be regarded as competing for the playoff team at this stage. Needless to say, the Thunder are still rebuilding.
During this period, the Warriors did not play as well as they seemed, and even said that they were full of loopholes, so let's take a look!
Summary of the status of the event
Record: 5-1
Opponents: (Guest) Lakers, (Lord) Clippers, (Guest) Kings, (Guest) Thunder, (Lord) Grizzlies, (Lord) Thunder
The start of 5 wins and 1 loss, although the book looks beautiful, if you look closely at the content of this period, you will not feel that it is particularly well played. First of all, the team's 3-point shooting rate is 38.1, and it is under the average number of shots per game of 39.8, the average number of shots per game can rank second in the league, the three-point shooting rate can rank 6th, and drtg this data ranks 5th in the league. It shows that the defense has a certain strength, and the true shooting rate ranks 6th in the league.
To put it mildly, even with the league's No. 1 average of assists per game, it also ranks 22nd in the number of turnovers. With only 6 kings dunks, this will soar to 18.6, almost not far from the last Nuggets.
Of course, it has to be said that the number of the whole year last year is also about 15, which can only be said to be the shortcomings of the pass cutting system, in addition, there is a set of main second teams that are playing quite badly, that is, there is no Curry in the Iguodala, Belitsa, Porter, brother-in-law, Poole This combination, there are 4 games of cooperation, plus and minus is -3.5. The main problem is that the lateral movement is too slow, resulting in easy export of neutrals, and I think that guarding the area will be a better solution.
At present, the Warriors' advantage is that the run-in is faster than others, and the intensity is not high, so the results are generally not ugly, and perhaps in November, there are several games of higher intensity that we can take out individually.
Player status
Backcourt
Stephen Curry: Just won the player of the week, but these games down, can only be said to be out of the situation, the first game 21 of 5, the second game although the first quarter of 9 (5 of 3 points) performance, the back feel is not bad.
But to note that there were 6 mistakes in the whole game, 10 mistakes in these two games, almost all of which were passing mistakes, most of which were not out of bounds but passed to the opponent's hands, which I think Curry needs to pay attention to. In the next few games, his shooting percentage is also hovering around 40% (42.2%), of course, part of it is also Poole's poor output, resulting in the work of scoring back to him, or hope to see Curry's shooting rate at the end of last season
Jordan Poole: After the preseason outburst, it's clear that the situation is not too good. Especially for the Clippers, the other side has Man, Bledsoe, George and other defensive players, and the confrontation is obviously better.
In addition to playing very uncomfortably, he also made up to 7 turnovers, and only 4 of 14 performances, which seemed to affect his outside line (1 of 6).
We all know that his most important thing is confidence, so if this situation continues, it may be necessary to let others come up to help and let Poole return to the bench to build confidence. The brother-in-law who has been in good condition recently will be a good choice, averaging 14.2 points per game.
Damian Lee: The shooting situation is really good, and I also see that he has more offensive means, can continue and can make the Warriors bench have more firepower output, especially tang Shen is not there, it is definitely a good thing that he can maintain such a high level of shooting rate, and this season his defensive ability is also on the next level, at least not a hole.
Gary Payton II: The Kings are heavily used in the first game, the shooting rate is quite good, the single defense is also in place, if you can continue this performance, I think in addition to the rotation, the Warriors' backcourt defense is also more reassuring, during this period his sample number is not high, but the shooting rate is very high, 6 shots out of 9 plus 4 of 4 three-point shooting rate.
Chris Chiosa: He didn't have enough influence on the pitch, but the team should have wanted him to be with Wiseman, and this part would have to wait until Wiseman came back.
Frontcourt
Andrew Wiggins: It's pretty much the same as before preseason, it's really 3D. But even if his singles are not strong, I think it is still necessary to arrange a little more singles scenes for him when Poole is not in good shape during this period, but I still have to praise his defense for having a big impact on the Warriors, and the shooting condition is not bad.
Moses Moody: You can see his passing intuition in the game, and he can understand the tactics, but how his blocking people make people feel like Wiseman, they can't block people, resulting in tactical running, the next few games have good points, the defensive problems are not big, and it will currently let him develop the league to run at both ends.
Andrei Iguodala: Many people think that Belitsa's signing is the most undervalued, but in my opinion, the signing of the first brother is really undervalued. How many people think that he can still play the same as he was a few years ago, most of them think that he is just coming back to pass on the experience.
Every time I think of directly letting the Warriors pick up a big lock on the perimeter, if Tang Shen comes back to defend a lot, and when it comes to a team like the Nets, which is very fierce, maybe he can play first. The only problem at the moment is his combat endurance, after all, the Clippers' heavy fall during the war gave him rest, so this will be the only doubt.
Otto Porter Jr: I think the Warriors let Bjlitsa hold the ball more, which indirectly led to his holding less of the ball, so he didn't shoot a lot, almost always in the role of bottom corner shooter. But he did the job quite competently, and under the data of a small sample, he was able to shoot a three-point shooting rate of 43.8, which is a very good statistic.
But his shots are still on the low side, averaging only 2.7 shots and 1.2 hits per game, which is still a relatively small number, but it is still normal. After all, the ball rights of the second team are mainly in the hands of brother-in-law and others, he is more to help cover, so it is normal for the data to be unremarkable, and his defense can still help the Warriors, especially the sense of co-defense is quite good.
Toscano Anderson: Under the good performance of the first brother, Porter and Bjelica were stuck in the 4th and 5th positions. I think his current help to the Warriors will be to be able to replace the less mobile Bjelica when he encounters a more mobile elder, and the tacit understanding with his old teammates, who is more familiar with the system.
Jonathan Cuminga: With just one game, I think I'll give him some time to get used to it, and then he'll be running with Moody's to develop the league.
center
Draymond Green: It's clear that his offensive desire has improved, and his average points per game this season has improved from seven points last year to 9.3 points per game, and he also has a brilliant shooting percentage, but the number of shots is still relatively low, and his work is still as much as before, and it is more reassuring.
Nemanja Belitsa: The offensive end can find that when encountering a large man with better mobility, the value will be greatly reduced, and the defense will not need to be talked about. Again, the problem I've mentioned over and over again, is that if you meet a big man like Embiid who is more traditionally center-forward, he can free up his attack, while small ball formations like this he will be very hard (not to mention defensive). However, his cooperation with Green is really fragrant, and the recent three-point projection situation is not ideal, but it can still play an effect of opening up space.
Kevin Rooney: There was still zero threat on the offensive end, sometimes he couldn't shoot three points on the court and it caused the offensive end to get stuck, and the rest of the parts were still doing as well as before, and he was also a very reassuring role player.
Team issues
Obviously, the team hit rate is not very good, and even if you want to say that I am pulled down by Curry, I have no problem. Although Cole is trying out the lineup, I think even the role players have a good performance on top, and the rest is to wait for everyone to enter the situation, run in, reduce mistakes, it is almost the same, the problem is not big.
In addition, whether Poole can find the feel of the preseason will be the key to reducing Curry's pressure and playing more easily, 6 games I think there is no too unexpected problem, the performance of the second team is not too good, mainly the problem of slow movement, and the frequency of defending the area should be increased at present.
Outlook for November
The teams that come to the team are basically the Nets, the imposing Bulls, the Hornets, or the Timberwolves who are not in bad shape at the beginning of the season. At the end of the month, the Sun and clippers, which have a deep team strength, are on the high side of the schedule, and if they want to continue to maintain good results, there is still a chance that there is no low, and it is expected that the rotation lineup will be almost finished in November.
Just then, about a quarter of the game has been played, and if there is a problem, it should be more obvious, and it can be brought out, and the rotation lineup should also be more certain.
