On March 29, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 95-123 to the Grizzlies in a three-game losing streak, this game the Grizzlies led by 4 points in the first quarter, but the second quarter played a 43-21 climax to open the point difference to 26 points, the third quarter after the two teams scored a 28 point difference, the final quarter early into the garbage time. The Warriors don't have Curry, the Grizzlies don't have Morant, a second in the West, a third in the West, but they didn't expect the hard power gap to be so big.
Curry was injured, clay and dream wheel hugh this game was originally a give-up, but Cole seems to be very dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty scale, it may also be that he lost the eye, has been chasing the referee to spray and finally ate two technical fouls and was expelled. After Kerr was ousted, the Warriors did not rise up but fell for thousands of miles, and in the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies, and Kerr swallowed a humiliating battle again.
This game Pooler became the only shining point, he once again scored 20+ points, but unfortunately the efficiency value is not good, you can imagine how uncomfortable the Warriors fans are. Many Warriors fans have said: "The Warriors without Curry are just fish belly." ”
After Curry scored 14 points against Green Kai on March 17, they lost to the Spurs, Magic, Hawks, Wizards, and Grizzlies, of which the Spurs, Magic, Wizards, and Hawks are still outside the playoff circle, plus this wild defeat to the Grizzlies, Kerr has been disgraced.
On the Memphis side, Dantony Melton, who came off the bench after Morant's injury, became the team's super sixth man, Ande also played a quasi-All-Star style, the team's defense is very good, and the Grizzlies have won five consecutive games after Morant's absence on March 19.
And the Grizzlies are already 18-2 without Morant (16-2 on March 26, followed by two consecutive wins), and the lack of Morant has a 90% win rate, surpassing the 1996 Bulls and 2016 Warriors, which is the hard power of the Grizzlies.
What's the use of Cole getting angry? Klay Thompson is obviously no longer brave after a major injury, chasing dreams is a pure system player, coupled with the Warriors do not have a reliable inside line of the long man, if the lack of Curry this big core of course crotch, the Warriors West third place has been in jeopardy, the lone ranger, Jazz, Nuggets and warriors the gap is only 3-1.5 wins.
