On March 23, Beijing time, the Warriors lost to the Magic on the road and suffered three consecutive defeats. In the past 18 games, the Warriors have lost 12 of them, and in the same period of the league, the Warriors have a record of 5th from the bottom, and the performance can be said to be very bad. The Magic are not a strong team because their record this season is very bad, most of them are young players, but in this case, the Warriors also lost the game, which really should not be, after this game, the Warriors are not in an ideal situation, the team is facing the risk of missing the playoffs.
The data shows that after the Warriors lost this game, their record also came to 47 wins and 25 losses, ranking 3rd in the West, and they are currently only 5.5 wins ahead of the 7th place In the West Timberwolves, and the gap is not large. Next, the Warriors also need to face teams such as the Heat, Hawks, Grizzlies, Suns and Jazz, and the schedule is very difficult.
And Curry is difficult to come back in a short period of time, in this case, if the Warriors do not make adjustments, then they want to win the game against these teams, the difficulty is still very large, the current Warriors are likely to fall into the playoff area, if you need to play the playoffs to enter the playoffs, then the Warriors are unstable in the playoffs this season, because last season, the team is in the playoffs two consecutive games, and finally eliminated.
After losing to the Magic, the whole team couldn't accept the outcome of the game, and coach Kerr said in frustration after the game, I know our team players are very good, I love them, I know they want to win the game, but we have to learn how to win the game, now we don't know how to win.
Kerr then also named Wiggins, who said he needed to play aggressively and I have a lot of confidence in him and I think he'll get out of the situation and be able to play well in the last 10 games. Kerr named Wiggins, which is understandable, because since the All-Star Weekend, Wiggins has been particularly bad, he is completely in the state before the All-Star Weekend, he can't shoot goals in the game, the defensive efficiency is not very high, and when facing the Magic, Wiggins shot 5 of 19 and only got 13 points and 8 rebounds on 2-of-6 three-pointers.
As an All-Star starter, in Curry's absence, he only handed over such statistics, which is far from enough, Kerr also said that he needs to play better, play his own aggressiveness, if Wiggins can play a little, then the Warriors will be better.
In an interview, Green criticized the team, and he confessed: "We played softly and were not smart enough, we just didn't play basketball, and we were humiliated, it was difficult to win the game." The Magic are one of the worst teams in the league, and we can't even match their offensive and defensive intensity, let alone play against the strong teams.
For Green, he's also frustrated that the team lost the game and he wants to help the team win, but the Warriors aren't back on track at the moment, they can't play the way they did at the beginning of the season. After Curry's absence, the Warriors fell into a slump and couldn't find a sense of play. As one of the core of the team, Green is also frustrated to see the team play such a performance.
The Warriors have 10 games left this season, Curry will most likely not come back, in the absence of Curry, the Warriors can withstand the pressure, successfully rank in the top 6 in the West, and smoothly enter the playoffs, which is worth looking forward to.
