The NBA regular season is coming to an end, and almost all teams are working hard. In the West, however, there is a team that has been losing, losing 6 of the last 7 games, and the ranking has also fallen from second to third in the West, and it looks like it will soon fall out of the top three. This team is the Warriors. Curry's absence is naturally the main reason for the Warriors' loss, and the Warriors lost 7-6, which happened to be the 7 games that Curry was absent. And these 7 games, there is a person in the Warriors team who has been beaten back to its original form, he is dreaming green.
In the past seven games, Green has played five of them, and the Warriors have lost all of them. The Warriors' only win came against the Heat, and it turned out that Green just happened to be on rotation that game. In the previous game against the Wizards, Green also maliciously fouled Porzingis, obviously some of the losses. Looking at Green's performance in these 5 games, it is really surprising.
In these five games, Green scored a total of 19 points, averaging only 3.8 points per game. Although there are 24 assists and 27 rebounds, it is also an average of 4+4+5 per game. You know, Green's salary this season is $24.03 million, and after this season, the Warriors and he have a 2-year contract of more than $52 million. Regardless of the amount of Green's contract, when Curry was absent, Green's poor performance, he should not even get the opportunity to play.
It turns out that the Warriors' true core is not Green, but Curry. Without Curry, 1 win and 6 losses, this Warriors team is like the super weak team in 2020. Coincidentally, Curry was also absent for a long time that season, and Green was relatively healthy. Past events aside, the Warriors are currently facing very significant ranking pressure. After losing 7-6, the Warriors are only one win ahead of the Lone Rangers behind them, three wins ahead of the 5th and 6th Jazz and Nuggets. With six games remaining, the Warriors' current form is unstable in the top four of the West.
What is even more unbearable is that Green is obviously worse, but his mouth is very large, and he has openly declared that the Magic city is the worst team in the league. As a result, the Warriors couldn't even win the magic. It seems that the only person who can save Green is Curry. But don't know how many Warriors will be in when Curry returns in the playoffs? Is Green's harm to him irreparable?
