Dream return, Curry slashed 47 points, Clay performance gradually picked up, golden state warriors seem to be back to the state of 2015, although many veterans have left the team, but with the addition of Wiggins and others, poole and other young players growth, now this warrior team is still full of expectations, so after the return of all the health, does the Golden State Warriors really have the strength to look forward to the finals, or even the championship trophy? After the analysis of the three major reasons, the truth is clear at a glance!
The top teams in the West are behind, but the Suns are still the Warriors' biggest enemy!
In fact, the situation in the West is still quite optimistic for the Warriors, why do you say so? In the Lakers has basically announced the pull, the Clippers are not much competitive, the Blazers have raised the flag early to rebuild the situation, the past West's top teams are actually not much, at present, can bring threats to the Warriors in the West is the Suns and Nuggets, and from the perspective of super strength, the Nuggets are also a little bit less interesting, so in fact, the Warriors want to rush out of the West, their real enemy is only the Suns a team!
Although the situation is more optimistic, but the Warriors want to snatch the Western Conference championship position from the Hands of the Suns, its difficulty is not easy at all, to know that the Suns in the absence of Paul can still maintain the top level of the league, their overall strength is also recognized as the top of the league list, and for the Warriors, although ushered in the return of Green, but Clay's state is good and bad, this season ushered in a big outbreak of Poole will also be power out of power from time to time, so as far as the current situation is concerned, the Warriors are really not necessarily the opponents of the Suns, It may even be arranged by the opponent!
The East is looking at the tiger, and these three teams will give the Warriors a headache!
In addition to the Suns in the West, the top powerhouses in the East are not so easy to deal with, and the top teams such as the Bucks, Heat, Nets and Celtics are also strong contenders for this season's championship trophy, so even if the Warriors can really break out of the West, when facing these top teams in the East, the Warriors are not completely sure of defeating the opponent, especially when facing defensive teams such as the Bucks and the Heat, Curry will definitely be wrapped up. At that time, if the Warriors lack Curry's firepower, the team's chances will be greatly reduced, and once there is not enough firepower to contain, the Warriors' situation will be more difficult, so for the current Warriors, it is difficult for them to be sure to challenge the top teams in the East before the team chemistry has not reached the best!
Their own problems are still prominent, and the internal strength will not help!
In addition to the uncomfortable external competition, the Warriors' own problems also limit their forward steps in the playoffs. The first is the problem of weak internal strength, since the beginning of the new season, this problem has been accompanied by the Warriors, the first half of the schedule may be because it is relatively easy, so the consequences of this problem are not as serious as imagined, but with the deepening of the season, the problem of the Warriors' lack of internal strength has been completely exposed, although the team still has Wiseman, an inside rookie, but from Wiseman's training video, the Warriors want to expect him to support the entire team's interior line is also unrealistic.
In addition to the internal strength is worrying, the Warriors also have to face a problem is Clay's state fluctuations, from the situation in recent games, Clay seems to have gradually found his peak state, but from the perspective of all the games after the comeback, Clay's injury impact is still quite serious, so once he can't play what he should play in the playoffs, the Warriors will be very uncomfortable at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and it is unlikely that he will want to go further in the playoffs!
In summary, the Golden State Warriors are indeed quite exciting this season, and the competitive situation in the West is not as severe as in previous years, but on the whole, it is still a little difficult for the team to go further in the playoffs, and the Finals and championship trophies may be really far away for the current Warriors!
