Plagued by staff turnover and serious injury problems, the Warriors were forced to go to a standstill for two seasons after completing five years and three crowns, and the team did not return to the championship race until this season.
Curry once again played MVP level performance, Klay and Chasing Dream have returned from injury, Poole and Wiggins, who have been cultivated in two years, have finally ushered in the harvest period, and the team's new stars Kuminga and Moody have also quickly handed over immediate combat power.
Even the new signings Iguodala, Bjelica, Otto Porter and Peyton II brought in in the offseason played at a high level in the system, which gave the Warriors a firm position in the league.
But in a booming situation, there is also a certain hidden danger, that is, in the process of Curry's pursuit of records, once the state fluctuates, then the warriors' overall combat effectiveness will decline sharply.
Such hidden dangers also broke out completely after Curry's injury, and since Curry suffered an ankle injury, the Warriors have lost consecutively, exposing the team's biggest problems.
This time, facing the Magic, the first-to-last team in the East, in the case of a nearly double-digit lead, the collapse of the final quarter was reversed, losing a very morale-hurting game, because the last team lost to the Spurs has made the team very dissatisfied, and this time the team directly lost to the Bottom One Magic in the East.
As soon as the game ended, Warriors coach Kerr showed Wiggins, once again publicly saying that Wiggins had to play more aggressively.
This is not the first time Kerr has publicly mentioned this topic, after losing to the Spurs, Kerr has asked Wiggins, and Curry has also jokingly said that he wants to see Wiggins complete another dunk.
The last time Wiggins broke out, it was after completing the lock on Downs, Wiggins suddenly found blood, and the overall play was tough for a long time before he successfully entered the All-Star.
It's no wonder that the Warriors, from the core to the coach, have constantly asked Wiggins by name, and since entering the All-Star, Wiggins' overall performance has plummeted.
Averaging only 14.1 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate has dropped from more than 40% all the way to only 31.9%, in this game, Wiggins shot 5 of 19, 6 of 3 points, and had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal.
In addition to Wiggins, the warriors' other two core Klay and Dream Green's performance is also difficult to say, the former played 32 minutes, 6 of 15 shots, only 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Dream Green is only 1 of 3 shots, with 2 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
It is not difficult to see from such data that the Warriors rely too much on the core Curry, which is the Warriors' biggest problem.
In the past two seasons, when Curry was unable to play, the Warriors only achieved a record of 3 wins and 16 losses (1 win and 8 losses last season, 2 wins and 8 losses this season, during which the opponent was not strong).
In the past 18 games, the Warriors' state decline has been extremely obvious, with only a record of 6 wins and 12 losses, the fifth worst in the league in the same period, only better than the Lakers, Thunder, Kings and Rockets.
In the face of such a bad record and performance, after the game, Dream Green also angrily spewed out the whole team, bluntly saying that the team played too softly and played very unintelligently, the team is being humiliated, and when a team is humiliated, it is impossible to win the game.
Kerr admits that after losing to the Spurs and magic in the past two consecutive games, the team is now obviously not sure how to win, and the players need some discipline, responsibility and desire to compete.
The Warriors' recent poor performance has also allowed the Suns to reap the benefits and directly win the Pacific Division championship in advance, it is worth mentioning that the core of the Suns, Paul, has also recently been absent due to injury, but the team is still ranked first in the league.
