After losing the Suns, the Warriors ushered in a four-game losing streak. After this game, the Warriors were overtaken by the Lone Ranger and fell to fourth place in the West. Since Curry was injured, the Warriors' record is 1-6. However, today's Warriors have made people see hope, if Dream Green can play well, the Warriors will still be a championship team. Facing the league leader Suns, the recently decadent Warriors extended the suspense of the game to the last moment, not to mention today's game, the Warriors are the team with a bigger chance to win. Due to the last moments, Thompson, Dream Green and Poole made fatal mistakes in succession, and finally lost the game.
In the final minute, with the Warriors leading by one point, Thompson lost a foul on a no-ball defense, and Booker helped the Suns achieve a comeback with free throws. This ball can be said to have changed the direction of the game, the Warriors changed from advantage to disadvantage, and in the subsequent offense, Dream Green contributed a mistake, so the ball was converted, Paul hit a layup, and the Warriors trailed by three points. As a result, the Warriors become extremely passive. The final attack, Poole's shooting choice, became the only stain on his game, and with 3 seconds left in the game, Poole chose to end the attack with a "logo shot", and the game lost suspense. From Thompson's foul, the balance of victory has begun to tip in the Suns.
Losing to the Suns should have been something the Warriors expected. If it is a big score loss, the Warriors will not pay attention to it at all, but if they bury a good game because of consecutive mistakes, such a game will hurt the morale of the team to some extent. Overall, this game is more of a flash for the Warriors than for regret. In this game, Poole is the first contributor to the Warriors. Poole played 33 minutes, scoring 38 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, shooting 50% from the field. Wiggins had 17 points and 8 rebounds, Thompson had 13 points and 4 assists, and the two shot 33% and 23% from the field, respectively, which can be described as the Warriors' Wolong Phoenix. Today, Poole has grown into the warriors' first scorer. Since Curry's injury, Poole's stats are: 28.1 points, 5 rebounds and 5.7 assists. Poole has scored 20 points in 15 consecutive games, second only to Curry and Durant in warrior history in the past 30 years, and it is clear that the 22-year-old Jordan Poole is the Warriors' most talented young player. The Warriors can no longer position him as the team's super sixth.
In this game, Poole showed the temperament of a star, if it were not for Poole, this game the Warriors would be a big score loss. During Curry's injury, people were counting on Wiggins, Thompson and Green to step up and take on the responsibility. Unexpectedly, it was the 22-year-old Poole who led this group of "team heroes" to move forward. Poole was ready to succeed Curry, but the Warriors weren't. This time Curry was injured, the Warriors' response was ironic, but also reflected the Warriors' high dependence on Curry, the Warriors and Kerr should thank Poole, the 3rd grader who saved you.
Today's game gave the Warriors renewed hope. When Curry is out, the Warriors can still cause so much trouble for the Suns. If Curry can return in time as planned, the Warriors may not be desperate once they meet the Suns in the playoffs. But only if Curry can come up with the kind of performance Poole has today. However, three times this season against the Suns, Curry's performance is very sluggish, and in the more intense playoffs, whether Curry can reverse the decline is worth investigating. Interpreting this game from another perspective, the Warriors want to defeat the Suns in the playoffs, in fact, it is quite difficult. Poole must maintain efficient output, and Curry must also ensure a stable performance, which is an unattainable situation for the Warriors. However, Poole has played efficiently against the Suns twice, and the Warriors may continue to believe in him.
After today, the Warriors should make a decision — use Thompson sparingly and suspend the game if necessary. Thompson's continued catastrophic performance seems to have become the norm. The Warriors' fantasy of Thompson appeared on Poole, who should have trusted Poole more and put him on the starting lineup after Curry returned. To be sure, the Warriors won't trade Thompson, so Thompson should make an active concession, and the Splash Brothers are dead in name only.
