The Warriors' game against the Suns, the Warriors lost so regrettably! Until the last few tens of seconds of the game, the Warriors still have hope of winning. However, without Curry, the Warriors really can't do it at a critical moment! Cole is still superstitious about passing, and in the most critical frontcourt processing, he actually chose to let Green catch the ball!
Green is one of the Warriors' best passers, but Green has now largely lost the ability to shoot from mid-range and the free throws are not very stable. With Green holding the ball in the most critical game round, isn't that giving the Suns 5-4? As a result, everyone knows that Green made a fatal mistake. Although Green's strange teammate who jumped on his feet did not run out of the position, it was actually a mistake in Cole's tactical arrangement.
Of course, another important reason why the Warriors lost this game is that Thompson played too poorly! Thompson played 33.6 minutes in this game, shooting only 5 of 21 and 1 of 10 three-pointers, and only 13 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists. But if Thompson can feel better, the Warriors won this game!
Some fans disagreed with my statement, retorting that if Booker had felt better, the Warriors would have been beaten by the Suns! Booker didn't feel good in this game: In today's game, Booker shot 5-of-21 and scored 22 points on 2-of-8 three-point range. However, Booker's poor performance against the Warriors was not an aberration. Booker has been playing badly against the Warriors this season.
First game on November 30: 4 of 9 from the field, 10 points from 2-of-3 shooting;
Christmas Battle on December 25: 5-of-19 shooting, 13 points on 5-of-5 3-point range;
Coupled with today's game, the Suns have played against the Warriors three times this season, And Booker averaged 15 points per game, shooting 14-of-49 from the field, shooting 28.6 percent from the field, 3 of 15 from three-point range and shooting 20 percent from three-point range.
Judging from the situation of the two teams meeting this season, if the two teams meet in the second round of the playoffs, the Suns are really hanging, and they really may not be able to pass the Warriors! As long as Curry makes a healthy comeback in the playoffs, the Suns don't actually have much of an advantage. Over the years, Paul has been able to win Curry really not many times in the playoff level confrontation.
The Warriors have been stumbling this season, and the biggest reason is injuries, not that the team's strength is not good. Coupled with Thompson's comeback, the Warriors deliberately let him find a feel, preferring to lose the game and let Thompson play more and shoot more. For the NBA, the playoffs and regular season are almost completely different games, and if the Warriors meet the Suns, they are likely to give the Suns an accident.
