In the Warriors' most recent game, they were suppressed by their opponents for most of the time, and although there was a brief rebound in the third quarter, they still failed to win the fourth quarter, and they eventually lost to the Grizzlies! The play in this game seems to be a very common performance of their recent years, and this team seems to have no reign of terror at the beginning of the season!
In the last four games, the Warriors have lost three games, losing 17 points against the Lone Rangers, 5 points against the Pelicans, and 8 points against the Grizzlies. Only on the night of Clay's return did they win the Cavaliers by 14 points. It can be said that in the last four games they have played really badly.
According to statistics, the Warriors' offensive efficiency in the first 20 games of the season was 113, the second in the league in the same period. In the last 20 games, the Warriors' offensive efficiency is only 108, ranking only 26th in the league in the same period! The decline in offensive efficiency directly led to the team being very struggling in the game, it was difficult to play the previous form, and it was also the reason why the team lost many games!
The decline in the Warriors' offensive efficiency of the whole team is largely due to the sluggish state of core player Curry, after the Christmas game, Curry's shooting rate has never hit 50%, and the last shooting rate was more than 50%, and it goes back to December 24, 2021! It can be said that Curry's downturn is indeed a bit puzzling, there is no record to be broken recently, and the opponent's defensive pressure on him has indeed not changed, but Curry just can't shoot in, even if he can occasionally accurately for a few minutes, it is difficult to continue after that!
For the Warriors, their recent poor performances have slowly pulled them apart by the Suns, and if they can't pick up in time, the team and the league's number one position may be drifting away. Fortunately, now that Klay Thompson has returned, as long as Thompson finds form, the Splash Brothers will still be the hardest combination in the league to beat!
