On January 14, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 99-118 in the away game against the defending champion Bucks, although the Warriors faced the absence of core interior line Draymond Green in this game, but in the case of core players such as Warriors Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors could only perform in this performance was still surprising.
After this game, the Warriors can still have a record of 30 wins and 11 losses and rank second in the West, but in the past 5 games, the Warriors have only had a record of 1 win and 4 losses.
In the game, Stephen Curry played 29 minutes and 11 shots with only 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to Andrew Wiggins had 16 points and 2 rebounds on 6-of-11 shooting in 28 minutes, Klay Thompson scored 11 points on 3-of-3 of 11-of-21 shooting in 21 minutes, and only 2-of-7 from outside the three-point line. Aside from Wiggins, there really isn't any other player in the Warriors' starting lineup who can perform effectively.
However, on the bench, Jonathan Cuminga is arguably the warrior's best performer, although he has as many as 16 shots and only hit 5 goals in just 19 minutes of playing, but Cumminga still relies on 1 of 3 three-point shooting and 4-of-6 free throws to score 15 points and +6 plus-minus performance.
Not only that, but the shot of Cumminga dribbling past Portis once during the game and pounding the basket to complete the two-handed dunk has also become a hot score for fans:
In this Warriors team, at least in the regular season, Cumminga is still more deserving of playing time than players such as Chiosa, Damien Lee and Iguodala, after all, he has better talent, and the Warriors also need Cumminga to show his talent and grow. It's just that Steve Kerr seems to be only willing to give Cummingga playing time during junk time.
So far this season, Cumminga has scored in double figures in games where he has at least 20 minutes of playing time, and he has scored 26 points in 36 minutes of playing time against the Raptors some time ago.
While it's a shame that Cumminga can't often get that much playing time under Kerr's rotation system, it's enough to prove that this season's Warriors are a team with enough roster depth.
