It's not clear what the Warriors are thinking at this stage? Logically, it has been played until the end of March, and the teams that can reach the playoffs in the whole league have almost been determined, and most of the strong teams at this time do nothing more than two things: the first thing is to stabilize their lineup and play their familiar tactics; the second thing is to find a feeling for the core players, or to give the core players a "holiday" without the pressure of the record. But only the Warriors are not, the season has been played to this, what are the Warriors doing? Still experimenting with lineups, still disrupting the rotation rhythm of their own players.
Do the Warriors face the Hawks like a playoff-level team? It doesn't look like it at all, a game can have N kinds of lineup matching mode, like a headless fly, the Warriors give people the feeling of having a date without a date to play three shots, this does not work to change people, and it does not work to change. Winning is the head coach strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, losing is that this player is not playing well, that player is not playing well. In many cases, the Warriors' employment is completely incomprehensible, and in this game against the Hawks, the opening is incomprehensible.
As soon as kerr came up, he changed the starting lineup, allowing Cumminga to replace Rooney in the starting lineup. Reasoned Rooney wasn't diligent enough on the Warriors? He has played for about seven or eight minutes in the first and third quarters throughout the season, and has always been the starting point of the Warriors' fifth position. As a result, the Warriors' inner line was pierced as soon as it came up, and the inside line was a score for giving and taking, and had to take Rooney up again. And while playing, you will find that Potter has been abandoned again. Recently, the rebounding ability is excellent, and the defensive end is called the gate of Potter inexplicably can not find the shadow, a look, the bench is sitting steadily, a game played less than 20 minutes.
Then came an even more bizarre scene, the Warriors' two sideline tactics after the timeout were all hit by the brother-in-law, and all of them were quick three-point shots, just like the tactics given to him when Curry was there. Yuzu sister checked, the brother-in-law's three-point shooting efficiency does not seem to be so high, it is 35% of the shooting rate, the sideline ball tactics can be used to play so desperately for the brother-in-law to arrange? At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were out again: Poole, brother-in-law, Thompson, Payton Jr., and Rooney. To be honest, this lineup did chase a wave of points, but how to chase points? The whole world can see clearly.
Relying on peyton Jr.'s consecutive steals on the defensive end and Thompson's consecutive three-point goal chasing points, the Warriors are based on defense! And Pooler, brother-in-law actually performed very generally in the second half, and Poole in the entire second half was 0 of 9 and only got 2 points and 5 turnovers, and the performance was actually very poor. The brother-in-law was only 8 shots 2 of 8, but the coaching staff inexplicably believed in these people. The game ended with the Warriors' three fronts: Wiggins, Porter, and Cumminga all sitting off the court to watch the play, Wiggins was the worst, from the middle of the third quarter began to be abandoned, until the rhythm of the whole game. Another rookie, Moody, did not get playing time in this game.
Does the Warriors still look like a playoff-level team? In Yuzu's view, today's game is like swooping in the top of the lottery!
