In the past two games, the Warriors have lost and suffered two consecutive losses. In the game against the Jazz and Knicks, the Warriors had a clear problem, that is, the inside line was blown up by the opponent, and in the game against the Jazz, the Warriors let the opponent score 48 points on the inside line, and at the same time, they conceded 52 rebounds. Facing the Knicks in this campaign, the Warriors once again conceded 40 points inside the line, allowing opponents to scramble for 51 rebounds. The data shows that the Warriors have lost 88 points on the inside line in the past two games, while losing 30 rebounds to the opponent, which is a very bad performance, it can be said that the Warriors' internal performance is insufficient, which has also become the main reason for the team to lose the game.
Because of Green's injury, the Warriors can only rely on Looney's play now, but Looney's ability is limited, he can't completely limit the play of the opposing interior players, and looney can't resist the impact of the other side when facing a strong interior line. After Looney went off, the Warriors' interior line was completely at a disadvantage, completely unable to limit the play of the opposing players, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of interior and rebounding. In the past two games, the Warriors have been unable to limit the play of Whiteside and Randle, which also led to the team eventually losing the game.
For the Warriors, the top priority is to strengthen the interior, which is also something that most people know. At the trade deadline, the Warriors did not make any reinforcement operations, retaining the team's original lineup for the first half of the season, that is, they did not strengthen the interior line, if they continue to play in the playoffs with such a set of lineups, then when they meet teams with strong centers such as the Suns, Jazz and Grizzlies, the Warriors will have difficulty winning the series, even if the Warriors rush out of the West, in the Finals against teams such as Philadelphia, Bucks and Heat, the Warriors will suffer a lot of losses.
From the current point of view, if the Warriors do not strengthen the interior line, then their prospects for storming the championship this season are not optimistic, because other championship teams have a strong interior depth, they can use the inside advantage to complete the score when facing the Warriors, and the Warriors' current interior depth is difficult to limit their play. Many fans may be looking forward to Wiseman, hoping that he will be able to strengthen the team's interior line after his return, but it is not very realistic to expect a young man who has not played even 50 games in the NBA in the playoffs.
Of course, the Warriors didn't operate and trade at the trade deadline, nor did they reinforce their weakest interior line. But they also have the opportunity to change the team lineup, after the trade deadline, there will be many teams and players to reach a buyout agreement, many of which have a strong inside line, and if the Warriors in the buyout market can sign the inside players who can help the team, then the strength of the team will also be correspondingly improved. For the Warriors, the buyout market will be the team's last chance to strengthen the interior this season, and whether General Manager Miles can seize this opportunity to help the Warriors strengthen the interior line is worth looking forward to.
