Arenas: Warriors need bench contributions in the playoffs Clay's offense will weaken

Live Bar Jan. 25 Today, former NBA player Arenas talked about the Warriors this season in his podcast.

Asked if the Splash Brothers were as dominant as they had been before, Arenas said, "You can't say they're dominant as a combination of Splash, Curry is dominant, he does his own thing, he plays smart, he plays basketball at the MVP level. Now Curry is waiting for Clay to get back in shape, and then the Splash Brothers are back. You see Curry has some downsides right now and he's trying to get Clay involved, but it's only a matter of time before the real Splash Brotherhood comes back. ”

Asked what would happen to the fully healthy Warriors in the playoffs, Arenas said: "To know that the playoffs are not the same as the regular season, the playoffs need substitutes, it depends on who can provide firepower on the Warriors' bench, like the previous Barbosa, Livingston, Iguodala and others, that will be a key factor." What people don't realize is that Clay's offense will weaken somewhat in the playoffs because he works too hard to defend the opponent's best players, and he doesn't have the physical strength to attack. If Clay averages 21 points per game in the regular season, he may score 21 points in the playoffs but less efficiently, or average 19 or 20 points per game, depending on who he is defending, he may have to defend Booker, Mitchell or Doncic, which is also a factor to consider. ”
